Wonderful

Extremely wonderful stay. Also was upgraded from deluxe to club room and I have to say that is what everyone should book, as instead of facing more tents you instead face the mountain. Perfect for downtime on the patio out front. Would 100% recommend to others. Clean, good staff, good food.

Clean! Even though I don’t like buffets, this one was great. Good selection and food was good. Close to park entrance. Enjoyed my stay and definitely would recommend
Great place for safari. Close to the park, the staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. Loved the diversity in food selection for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Rooms were perfect. Felt a bit rushed on our check out day but otherwise it a great experience.
Perfect Safari Camp - great location, beautiful accommodation and brilliant staff. Highly recommend.

The property is beautifully arranged and the staff is very welcoming and polite! There is a variety of lots of different foods and all of the options are delicious!
A wonderful 2 nights stay during our Kenya Safari trip.
Lodge and rooms are beautifully appointed and very well maintained. Staff is so very polite, kind and attentive. Perfect for Amboseli game drives!
Love the room club tent. Tons of room. Great view. The staff are amazing. Super friendly and respond to your needs instantly. The Ostriches are absolutely hilarious. Made us laugh everyday! Food is top notch. Staying outside the park is good so you have option to pay for the park or not. We saw Craig the old elephant outside the park at the conservancy.

Lodge and rooms are beautifully appointed and very well maintained. Staff is so very polite, kind and attentive. Perfect for Amboseli game drives!
This is a gorgeous place to stay, 5 min outside the park. The tents are lovely, the staff extraordinary, the food excellent. The only complaint is that you have to buy all your drinks including even water.
Amazing place next to the Amboseli entrance park. The settings, the tents, restaurant and bar have a lot of charm. The view on the Kilimanjaro is beautiful. Staff is fantastic and the food is the best we've had in Kenya, a lot of choice and Absolutely delicious. thank you !
This is a great place to stay in Amboseli. Located right outside the gate (less than 3 min to gate). The accommodations are great! The food and staff are great too! We had Benard as our driver and he was great as well! If you’re coming to Amboseli stay at Kibo, you won’t regret it!
Kibo safari camp is simply stunning with awesome views of my Kilimanjaro,and tented accomodation is like a 5 star room,fully serviced,the staff take the entire credit of our holiday too and chef Andrew is such a brilliant cook,well done Kibo team .Even the other chefs did so much to make our holiday special .
We loved our stay at Kibo Safari Camp! We stayed for 5 nights and were made to feel very welcomed and at home! Dinner is amazing - there is a wood burning pizza oven and different grill stations! The bar area is beautiful and spacious. Our tent was very spacious and comfortable. It did not get cold at all, which was surprising!

Nice place but low cleaness
Very nice Place, maybe tends are too near.
Good quality of food.
Cleaness not so good, I found a chewngum on the WC...
Kibo is a lovely camp. The staff was so accommodating and very attentive. I would like to say that the marketing of the accommodations is misleading. The pictures of the " Luxury tent" show that you have a view of Kilimanjaro...but you do not. .I think that this should be stated. This was a huge disappointment as this was my first group that I have brought to Amboseli.
Honestly, it was OK but there’s a few things that they need to work on. They should have a WhatsApp system where we can connect with employees when we need something in the room instead of walking all the way to the front desk to ask for a simple thing like a towel. Also the system of ordering is ridiculous. You have to sign on every order you ask for. For example, if you ask for white wine, they give you a paper to sign for it then if you ask for Water, you get another paper to sign for it so you get 5-6 papers to sign For a few things that you order. And you have to sign before the water even comes to you.
