Introduction

Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp, operated by &Beyond, is a luxurious safari camp in the legendary Maasai Mara National Reserve. Known for its breathtaking location, exceptional game viewing, and personalized hospitality, the camp offers guests an immersive bush experience while offering world-class comfort. Positioned near the Oloololo Escarpment, it offers stunning views of the open plains and is an ideal vantage point for witnessing the Great Migration.

Location

Kichwa Tembo is situated on the western border of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, within a private concession that ensures exclusive wildlife encounters.
