Activities from Tortilis are all about viewing the wildlife of both the concession and Amboseli National Park, on vehicle and walking safaris.

For the final part of your trip, you’ll stay at Elephant Pepper Camp, located in the Mara North Conservancy, in the heart of the Maasai Mara ecosystem. Set up within a small patch of forest on the plains, this small tented property has a classic safari feel and a very good reputation! The main areas are homely, with their comfy sofas and superb views. Plenty of al-fresco relaxing and dining is available as well. All of the tents here are simple, but they have everything you need to enjoy your last few days on safari. Activities from Elephant Pepper center on game drives, with short walks possible too. Cultural visits are offered at extra cost. And as with Sand River, you can follow the Great Migration from July to October! But even outside these months, the plains are popular with herbivores such as giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, and antelopes, making for ample predator sightings. And there are hundreds of birds.
