This past weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting the stunning Olgulului Camping Huts located near Amboseli, not far from Nairobi. The moment I arrived, I was greeted by a serene atmosphere that encapsulated the beauty of nature and the remarkable wildlife that this area is known for.
As an avid camper and nature enthusiast, I was thrilled to explore the offerings at Olgulului. I decided to treat myself to one of their signature dishes for supper: the grilled tilapia. Priced at KES 800, this mouth-watering meal was prepared fresh and served with a side of ugali and sautéed vegetables. The fish was perfectly seasoned and flaked effortlessly, offering a delightful taste of local cuisine. My experience was further enhanced by the exceptional service provided by Mutiso, who ensured that every detail was taken care of, making dining an enjoyable experience.
Throughout my stay, I also had the chance to enjoy some of their camping facilities. For those looking for an affordable getaway, Olgulului offers camping options starting at KES 1,500 per night, which is incredibly budget-friendly. The huts are well-kept, cozy, and provide an authentic camping experience while being surrounded by the breathtaking landscape of Amboseli National Park. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to connect with nature without breaking the bank.
Additionally, I could not resist trying their evening bonfire experience. For KES 300, guests can gather around a cozy fire, sharing stories and enjoying the warmth of the flames while gazing at the stars. This experience created the perfect ambiance to bond with fellow campers and made for a truly enchanting evening.
What makes Olgulului special is not just the affordability or the beautiful scenery; it's the community vibe that the staff, led by the friendly Mutiso, cultivate. His care for guests is visible in every interaction, ensuring that everyone feels right at home.
In summary, my visit to Olgulului Camping Huts was an unforgettable experience filled with delightful meals, outstanding service, and enchanting nights under the African sky. If you’re searching for a remarkable camping experience near Amboseli, I wholeheartedly recommend making a trip to Olgulului. With its low prices and welcoming atmosphere, it’s a hidden gem within a stone's throw from Nairobi.
