KICHWA TEMBO TENTED CAMP
Kichwa Tembo is an oasis of Hemingway-style tents shaded by dense forest canopy. Each luxurious tent has a private deck with sweeping views of the greatest grassland system on earth, the Masai Mara. Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp has 40 canvas safari tents, each with a private outdoor deck. There is an en suite bathroom with shower, stone floors and soft lighting. Each tent stands at least eight metres away from the next, ensuring absolute seclusion.
The camp is set among the forests just below the spot where a famous scene from Out of Africa was filmed. This setting was also chosen to illustrate the motion picture’s poster.
Kichwa Tembo’s two thatched en suite rondavels overlook the Sabaringo River, shaded by tall Fig and Ebony Trees.
Each classic safari tent is spacious and affords total privacy. All tents are luxurious and built of stone floors and canvas.
Kichwa Tembo’s main living area and all the tents overlook endless, game-filled plains and are shaded by dense forest canopy. In the background, the Oloololo Escarpment stretches into the distance.
The main lodge has a curio shop and a reception. The courtyard is candlelit in the evening and you may relax in the bar/lounge area. Our palm-fringed swimming pool overlooks the plains of the Mara. The tree-shaded waters are surrounded by lawns.
At night, Askaris (Maasai warrior security guards) accompany you to and from your tent.
The airy main restaurant is covered with Maasai thatch grass and overlooks the Mara plains. Dinner may be served alfresco style outdoors, weather-permitting. Private meals are also arranged on request.
Pan-African cuisine – both breakfast and dinner – is often served in the bush. (optional extras).
