Amboseli Mountain View Camp
Budget tents and campsite · Kimana Gate area; its site does not say which side of the boundary · Not stated on its site
Budget
Boundary unconfirmed
Ownership unconfirmed
A self-described budget camp near Kimana Gate with double and triple tents, a full-board option and a well-shaded campsite where you can pitch your own tent or hire one. It is one of the few private places near the gate that openly takes campers, which makes it the fallback if you want to camp on this side rather than at the KWS site. The camp's own pages do not say where it stands relative to the park, and OpenStreetMap puts it just under a kilometre outside the line near Kimana Gate, so it shows here as boundary unconfirmed. Game drives into the park, nature walks, sundowners and a Maasai village visit are on its list. No rate is published.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Amboseli National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThe non-resident rate, per entry of up to 24 hours, flat all year since 1 October 2025.
- $90per person, per day
- VehicleKSh 600 a day for a car under six seats, about $4.60 at KSh 129.45 to the dollar.
- $5per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $555 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
Leaving the park and driving back in buys a new ticket, so a lodge outside the gate can mean more fee days than nights.
The full fee schedule for Amboseli National ParkRates at Amboseli Mountain View Camp
Rates on request. No rate published on the pages read on 4 October 2026. The camp offers tents with a full-board option and a campsite where you pitch your own tent, so ask which you are being quoted for, and whether park entry is included: the KWS conservation fee is $90 per non-resident adult per day under the October 2025 card.
It depends which package you book. This camp sells more than one basis, from self-catering up to fully inclusive. The rates note says what each one covers.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Rates checked on 4 October 2026 from each property's own website or rate card and from KWS's October 2025 conservation-fee card and 2025 Mbugani Homes rate card. Angama's 2026 rate comes from an archived copy of its rate page (captured August 2025), because the live site blocks automated reading. None of the figures is a reseller or agent rate; where a property publishes nothing, the entry says Rates on request, and the Budget, Mid-range or Top-end label then follows the style the property describes rather than a price. Booking.com was not checked for any property. Watch the basis: most camps quote per person sharing, the KWS units per unit and Kibo Villa per villa, and the KWS conservation fee of $90 per non-resident adult per day (October 2025 card) is extra almost everywhere, plus conservancy fees at the conservancy camps.
Questions about Amboseli Mountain View Camp
Can you camp at Amboseli Mountain View Camp?
Yes. The camp's site invites you to 'pitch your own tent on the well-shaded campsite' and also has tents for hire, with a full-board option for tent guests. It publishes no prices, so ask for the camping rate per person or per pitch.
Is Amboseli Mountain View Camp inside the park?
Its site does not say. OpenStreetMap places it about 0.8 km outside the boundary near Kimana Gate, which is why it shows as boundary unconfirmed here. Either way you drive into the park through a KWS gate and pay the conservation fee of $90 per non-resident adult per day.
Is Amboseli Mountain View Camp good for families?
We found no published child policy. It offers triple tents, which can suit a parent with two children, but ask about child rates and age limits when you book.
