Nyati Safari Camp
Budget tents and stone rooms · Kimana side, near Kimana Gate · Not stated on its site
Budget
Outside the gate
Ownership unconfirmed
A budget camp of tents and stone rooms near Kimana Gate, with a restaurant facing Kilimanjaro and free WiFi. Its site says two things at once: that it lies near and 'right by Kimana gate', and that it 'is located in Amboseli National Park'. The first is right. Kimana Gate is the park boundary, and OpenStreetMap places the camp's two mapped positions 2.3 to 3.5 km outside it, so Nyati sits outside the gate despite its own wording, and you pay the park fee for each day you drive in. A guest review on its own site mentions that the electricity goes off late at night. Choose it on price if the quote is low; it publishes nothing to compare.

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 Nyati Safari Camp
Rates on request. Nyati calls itself budget-friendly but publishes no rate on the pages read on 4 October 2026. Ask what meals the quote covers. The KWS conservation fee of $90 per non-resident adult per day (October 2025 card) applies on each day you enter the park.
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.
Questions about Nyati Safari Camp
Is Nyati Safari Camp inside Amboseli National Park?
No. Its own pages say it lies near and 'right by' Kimana Gate, which is outside the park, even though another line on the same site says it is located in the park. OpenStreetMap puts it 2.3 to 3.5 km outside the boundary. Budget for the KWS conservation fee of $90 per non-resident adult for each day you drive in.
How much does Nyati Safari Camp cost?
It describes itself as budget-friendly but publishes no rate. Ask for a per-person quote and what meals it includes, and compare it with the KWS cottages inside the park at $110 for two a night on the 2025 rate card.
Does Nyati Safari Camp have WiFi and power?
Its site lists free WiFi and electricity; a guest review on the same site notes that the electricity shuts off late at night. Charge cameras and phones in the evening.
