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 classic 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 the 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 the lodge garden right to your table.

Holiday to Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp
The experience was truly magical—thoughtful in every detail, with an incredible staff who made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our stay. There was a warmth, attentiveness, and sense of presence that went beyond service; we all completely fell in love with the camp and the people who bring it…
The staff as a whole was fantastic and we loved Steve as our guide. We were lucky enough to have 4 game drives with just Hayley and I. While I think anyone should have a great experience there, it was an especially great choice for first time safari goers and honeymooners. All of our fondest memori…

Every detail was taken care of from the moment you were woken up to the time that you were walked back to your tent. It was one of the loveliest places we have eve…
