Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp Hotel is one of our favorite camps, Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp nestles below the Oloololo Escarpment of the Great Rift Valley, affording spectacular views of the Masai Mara’s game-filled plains.
The Kichwa Tembo Hotel 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.
Known as Kenya’s best loved safari camp, Kichwa Tembo Masai Mara Tented Camp offers a quintessential game viewing experience, with sweeping vistas of the magnificent vistas of the Masai Mara or the Sabaringo River. Kichwa Tembo is renowned for its gracious teams of Kenyan staff whose warm welcome, charming service and effortless energy delight guests from all over the world.

Regretfully, children 5 years and younger cannot participate in the regular game-drives. Child minders can be booked at an additional cost. Children aged 6 to 11 years are accommodated on game-drives at the Camp Manager's discretion. Should parents wish to be close to their children, the rondavels are recommended for family accommodation. An extra bed can be arranged for a child 11 and younger sharing with their parents. No more than three triples per camp at any one time.
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.

Great Wildlife Migration Safari at Kichwa Tembo - Kichwa Tembo is located in the Masai Mara and is a fantastic place to stay if you are looking to see the migration. The migration is one of the worlds most spectacular wildlife events. Annually 2 million wildebeest and zebra migrate in a clockwise direction around the Masai Mara and Serengeti in search of fresh grass and water. The most dramatic viewing occurs when the animals cross Rivers, they wait for many days and suddenly cross in a continuous stream. The banks of the river are steep and the animals struggle to climb out, therefore stampeding on top of each other, crocodiles lie in wait in the water, and vultures clean up afterwards. There are a lot of casualties in the river crossings.
