Going on safari is the ultimate celebration of the senses. Taste, touch, sight, sound… ideally, your safari should be appealing at every level. The &Beyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp takes great strides to tick all your boxes. This safari camp offers legendary Kenyan hospitality in comfortable, contemporary surroundings – all while maintaining a very authentic safari feel.
&Beyond Kichwa Tembo
With 40 luxurious tented suites, a lovely swimming pool with panoramic views of the savanna, a breezy split-level guest lounge area with large windows and a holistic healing massage tent, this safari camp offers guests modern-day comforts in the remote Kenyan wilderness. Located on the edge of the lush green forests of the Olooloo Escarpment and the golden plains of the Masai Mara, &Beyond Kichwa Tembo is an excellent starting point for safari activities in the area.
The safari camp lies within the game-rich Mara Triangle conservancy near the border of the Masai Mara National Reserve. The safari camp’s prime location makes spotting hordes of game, 450 bird species and lemming-like wildebeest embarking on the Great Migration a piece of cake.
The &Beyond Kichwa Tembo tented camp suites come in three flavours: twelve classic tents nestled in the forest near the Saparingo River, twenty superior tents among shady trees and eight superior view tents overlooking the Mara plains (of which three are family suites). The generously sized tented suites on stilts each have large screened-in decks, deep wraparound benches with cushions and en-suite bathrooms.
The &Beyond Kichwa Tembo camp tents have Masai-inspired interiors that showcase stained cypress wood furniture, tribal decorations and contemporary use of locally sourced materials. Comfy, oversized beds with spectacular views will make waking up and snoozing off an absolute pleasure. Each tent comes with a complimentary pair of Swarovski Optik binoculars for use during the length of your stay.
The camp offers a real dose of African wildlife given with famous Kenyan hospitality, sprawled along the Saparingo River on the brink of the Oloololo escarpment where riverine woodland meets the vast plains along the seasonal path of the amazing Great Migration.
&Beyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp captivates with its modern safari vibe and is located on a private concession with an abundance of iconic species and breathtaking views of the Masai Mara.
The Camp’s enduring interiors, which are straightforward yet elegant and tasteful, increase visitors’ seclusion and satisfaction. There are eight Superior View tents, 20 Superior tents, and 12 Classic tents set up on lovely grounds with warthogs peacefully grazing just outside the tent doors. Interiors with Maasai design elements firmly establish &Beyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp as the finest luxury tented camp of its size in the broader Mara.
The &Beyond Kichwa Tembo tented camp is invited inside by large windows in the roomy guest quarters, which also feature split-level areas where visitors can repose. Select delectable items from the organic garden, and then gather with friends in the cozy interactive kitchen to chat. Browse the Safari Shop, which features the finest Kenyan handicrafts, or treat yourself to holistic therapy in the massage tent. One of the most breathtaking vistas in the whole world may be seen from the rim-flow pool, which is located right on the brink of the Mara.
The &Beyond Kichwa Tembo tented camp is located on a private concession and is situated on the western edge of the abundantly forested Masai Mara National Reserve. In addition to the exceptional concentration of species present throughout the year, access to the concession enables night drives, bush hikes, and bush meals beneath a starry sky. This is the home of the Maasai, majestic rulers and imposing keepers of a long-gone civilization.
