Kichwa Tembo Camp

Kichwa Tembo Camp

An authentic Kenyan safari experience, Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp combines contemporary with a family feel and acts as the perfect gateway to experience all that the wonderful Masai Mara has to offer.

Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp offers a contemporary safari experience infused with the romance and nostalgia of the Masai Mara. Steeped in classical safari style, the camp has a warm family feel where authentic Kenyan hospitality shines. The generously sized swimming pool is set among trees and lawns with sweeping views, while the split level dining area, centred around an interactive kitchen and vegetable garden, makes cuisine an integral part of the safari experience.


With 40 spacious guest tents, a rim flow lodge pool overlooking the plains, and expansive guest areas, the camp is well suited to groups, families and special gatherings, as well as couples seeking privacy and comfort. Exclusive dining locations and secluded spaces allow couples to enjoy intimate moments, while the attentive team can tailor celebrations, menus and events when arranged in advance.


Situated on a private concession on the western edge of the Masai Mara National Reserve in the Mara Triangle, the most wildlife rich part of the ecosystem, the camp lies at the base of the Oloololo Escarpment near the iconic filming location of Out of Africa. Guests enjoy magnificent views across the plains, frequent wildlife sightings from camp, and the rare opportunity to join guided bush walks not permitted within the national reserve.

Review

Why this Camp..?

(According to Google Reviews)

Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp reviews describe it as a luxurious, memorable safari experience with exceptional, attentive staff, stunning views (often with wildlife nearby), delicious, fresh food, and excellent guides. Guests love the blend of adventure and comfort, though some note classic tents can feel dated, recommend flying in to save time, and mention it's outside the main reserve, requiring drive time to gates. 


Positive Highlights:

  1. Exceptional Service: Staff are consistently praised for being friendly, professional, and going above and beyond.

  2. Stunning Location & Views: Situated in the Maasai Mara, it offers incredible savanna views, with animals like giraffes, zebras, and even lions often seen from the camp or pool.

  3. Great Guides: Guides (like Charity and Robert) are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and skilled at finding wildlife.

  4. Fantastic Food: Fresh, flavourful, and varied meals, often featuring homegrown produce and special dining setups.

  5. Luxurious Tents: High-quality, comfortable tents with great amenities, though some rooms are newer (Superior) than others (Classic).
