Inside the park
Safari company
A three-bedroom private villa inside the park, run by Manrik alongside Ol Tukai Lodge: its phone line is Ol Tukai's reservations number, and guests may use the lodge's facilities close by. You get the house, five acres of gardens and acacia woodland, a private chef and butler, and a Land Cruiser for your party alone. The rate of $1,840 a night for four, $460 each, covers meals, drinks, laundry, a massage and airstrip transfers, which makes it cheaper per head than the top conservancy camps for a family or two couples. Choose it for a private base inside the park; skip it if there are only two of you, since the published price is for four.

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 Kibo Villa
From $1,840 per villa (4 guests). Non-resident package rack rate from $1,840 per night for four people, which is $460 each, all inclusive: accommodation, meals and drinks, laundry, a half-hour massage, return transfers from Amboseli airstrip and exclusive use of a Land Cruiser for game drives. A two-night balloon package is $1,250 per person sharing, minimum four adults. The villa does not say whether the KWS conservation fee ($90 per non-resident adult per day under the October 2025 card) is included, so budget for it.
All inclusive. The rate covers meals, drinks, activities and the transfers named below. Park fees are charged separately.
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 Kibo Villa
Is Kibo Villa inside Amboseli National Park?
Yes on the villa's own words, 'on the expansive plains of Amboseli National Park', and KWS lists it among the park's privately owned lodges. It is run alongside Ol Tukai Lodge, whose facilities guests may use, though the villa does not publish its exact position.
What does the Kibo Villa rate include?
From $1,840 a night for four on the non-resident package: accommodation, meals and drinks, laundry, a half-hour massage, return transfers from Amboseli airstrip (inside the park; KWS calls it Kimana airstrip) and exclusive use of a Land Cruiser on game drives. A two-night balloon package costs $1,250 per person sharing, minimum four adults.
Is Kibo Villa good for families?
We found no published child policy. The villa mentions a kids' club in the vicinity with child-minding, and it has three en-suite master bedrooms, but confirm child rates and bedding when you enquire.
