andBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp is situated on a private concession on the western border of the Maasai Mara close to where Out of Africa's famous final scene was filmed. Comprised of spacious Hemingway-style safari tents, the camp offers fantastic views out across the wild Maasai Plains, with the Oloololo Escarpment in the background. Not only does Kichwa Tembo enjoy some of the best views in the Mara, but due to its location, you will also be privy to a more hidden side of the Mara by being able to take part in activities such as bushwalks and night drives which are not permitted in the national reserve.
Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp is a classical camp, offering 20 superior tents, 8 superior view tents and 12 classic tents. Each tent features en-suite bathrooms and a built-in daybed to watch game as it passes by. In addition to an inviting rim flow pool with views over the endless, game filled plains, the main area offers a spacious split level indoor/outdoor dining area thoughtfully designed around an interactive kitchen and vegetable garden, allowing you to witness the preparation of delicious meals from lodge garden right to your table.

Adventure Holiday to Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp
Good room but a long walk to the restaurant/bar/reception area. The game drives were good. The food was good but self-service. The Maasai dancing was good. Unfortunately, the migration was over.
Truly an incredible experience. The service and staff were 10 stars!! Every day they prepared a special private table for us with a honeymoon "theme" and made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed every second there. The tents were comfortable and cozy and nothing like we'd ever experienced before. …
Clearly the highlight of our honeymoon! Ideally located in the Mara Triangle, it gave us the opportunity to maximize our chances of spotting numerous animals! Our guide was not very talkative but very capable of spotting animals and getting us as close as possible to them. The service was spectacul…
Can’t recommend this place enough. The people, the food, the experiences!!!! We made great friends with some of the guests and staff. They gave us the best service we’ve ever had!
