Kichwa Tembo Masai Mara Tented Camp

From $318 USD Per Person Sharing

Explore the best of Africa in Kenya’s famous Masai Mara National Reserve by choosing to stay at the classic luxury destination, Kichwa Tembo. This tented safari camp is a perfect destination for first time travellers and wildlife enthusiasts. The Big Five, the lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard, are all resident here and this is a great location from which to experience the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra crossing the plains.

Besides the Big 5, there are over six species of primate and more than 450 birds have been recorded in the area. Both the natural vegetation and variety of mammal and bird species display the incredible diversity found in the region.  Allow the experienced guides to show the hidden secrets of the bush as well as lead you to the best places to view the abundance of wildlife found in this park. Hot air balloon safaris are an option as are nature walks, visits to a local cultural village and evening game drives where are you more likely to watch predators take down their prey.

Wake up in spacious luxury tents to the smell of fragrant Kenyan teas and coffees before heading off on the first game drive of the day. Back at the camp lunch is served and there is more than enough time for a lazy siesta in one of the hammocks strung around the grounds or a refreshing dip in the sparkling pool before heading off into the bush again. The views of the savannah and forest are breathtaking from the privacy of your own veranda. Dinner is served under the night sky and you can gather around the campfire and swap stories until the fresh air and promise of a new day drags you off to sleep in the comfortable beds of your luxury tent.

Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp – an exciting, luxury African safari destination

There are forty spacious tents on offer, twelve of which are luxury suites. All have their own verandas giving you a shaded view of the surrounding grasslands and the Sabaringo River. Relax on the private verandas, in the large swimming pool or in hammocks that are dotted throughout the grounds – either way you won’t miss out on a minute of game viewing.

You will dine out under the African night sky or in an elegantly appointed dining room on meals made from the fresh ingredients grown in the camp and seasoned with East Africa’s subtle spices.
