Masai Mara, Kenya

About andBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp

Sprawled along the Saparingo River at the foot of the Oloololo Escarpment, where riverine forest meets open plains, Kichwa Tembo is perfectly positioned to witness the Great Migration. Meaning “head of the elephant” in Kiswahili, it sits in the remote western Mara, on land leased from Maasai landlords and explored almost exclusively by our guests. Here, panoramic views and intimate wildlife encounters meet legendary Kenyan warmth, offering a fresh lens on a timeless safari. The camp boasts 26 Superior Tents and 8 Superior View Tents. While all the tents look out onto the open grasslands or the shady forest surrounding the Saparingo River, the Superior View Tents boast exceptionally beautiful, uninterrupted views of the Masai Mara. The generously sized swimming pool is set among the trees and surrounded by lush lawns and spectacular views. Opening up onto incredible Masai Mara views, the guest areas feature a double-story bar and lounge area with oversized windows offering spectacular panoramas. The dining area surrounds an interactive kitchen and vegetable garden, making food an integral part of the safari experience.
