Outside the gate
Ownership unconfirmed
A newer camp described so far only by the safari agent Expert Africa, which calls it smart and contemporary and places it on the community-owned ALOCA conservancy near Amboseli. Expert Africa's coordinate sits about 7 km outside the park boundary, south of the Kimana Gate area, and OpenStreetMap has a matching entry. It lists 11 units including a two-bedroom family tent, with plunge pools and air conditioning, and says all ages are welcome. There is no website of the camp's own, no named operator, no rate and no airstrip information, and the name ALOCA is not explained anywhere published. Ask an agent who knows the camp before you book, and get the price and inclusions in writing.

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 Elephant Gorge Camp
Rates on request. No own website or published rate found on 4 October 2026; the camp is described only by the safari agent Expert Africa. Ask an agent for a quote and whether conservancy fees are included. The KWS conservation fee of $90 per non-resident adult per day (October 2025 card) applies on park days.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
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.
