All about Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp

Steeped in the aura of classical safari, the recently refurbished Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp boasts 12 Classic Tents and 20 Superior Tents and 8 Superior View Tents. While all the tents look out onto the open grasslands or the shady forest surrounding the Saparingo River, the superior view tents boast exceptionally beautiful, uninterrupted views of the Masai Mara. The superior tents feature beautiful Maasai inspired interiors that showcase a simple and contemporary use of local materials. Oversized beds are perfectly positioned to make the most of the views, while stained cypress wood furniture combine with tribal decorative elements. The generously sized lodge swimming pool is set among the trees and surrounded by lush lawns and spectacular views.

Opening up onto incredible Masai Mara views, the guest areas feature cosy split-level spaces decorates in a palette of stone and taupe. Celebrating the romance and nostalgia of the Mara, a double-storey bar and lounge area feature oversized windows with spectacular panoramas. The split-level dining area has been designed around an interactive kitchen and vegetable garden, making food an integral part of the safari experience.
