ARUSHA, TANZANIA – Lemala Camps and Lodges, a member of the Trouvest Integrated Tourism Group and a premier safari accommodation brand across East Africa, announces the acquisition of Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp, a much-loved property located just outside Kenya’s Amboseli National Park. This strategic addition marks the company’s first camp in Kenya, enhancing Lemala’s regional presence and reinforcing its enduring commitment to preserving the unique character, culture, and conservation value of East Africa’s most iconic landscapes.
Perched just beyond the borders of Amboseli National Park, with sweeping views of Mount Kilimanjaro – the highest mountain in Africa, and in close proximity to the park’s famed elephant herds, Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp has long been a preferred destination for discerning travellers seeking an authentic blend of connection, character, and wilderness harmony.
While now operating under Lemala’s stewardship, the camp will retain its established identity with no immediate plans for rebranding. Guests can expect the same thoughtful and immersive experience that Tulia is known for, now enhanced by Lemala’s operational expertise and long-term commitment to sustainability.
“We are thrilled to welcome Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp into the Lemala family,” says Leanne Haigh, CEO of Lemala Camps & Lodges. “Amboseli is one of Africa’s most evocative and treasured landscapes, and Tulia is perfectly positioned to deliver intimate, unforgettable experiences. This acquisition allows us to deepen our presence in the region while honouring our commitment to low-impact, community-integrated hospitality.”
Lemala is especially proud to continue its collaboration with Barry McGonigle, Tulia’s founder and a long-standing resident of Amboseli. Barry remains active in the area, operating Kilimanjaro Balloon Safaris, one of the region’s most exclusive experiences.
“We’re honoured to maintain our relationship with Barry,” added the Lemala team. “His profound dedication to Amboseli and trusted relationships within the local community are invaluable. We look forward to building on this strong foundation with respect and purpose.”
