KICHWA TEMBO TENTED CAMP
6 Nights
7th to 13th January: Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp, Masai Mara
The Masai Mara is located in South Western Kenya & together with Tanzania’s Serengeti it forms one of the world's most diverse and spectacular eco-systems.
Sprawled along the Saparingo River on the edge of the Oloololo escarpment, where riverine forest meets the sweeping plains in the seasonal path of the awe-inspiring Great Migration, the Kichwa Tembo Camp provides an authentic dose of African wildlife, delivered with legendary Kenyan hospitality.
Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp is situated on the western border of the game rich, Masai Mara National Reserve, in the Mara Triangle – the most productive part of the Mara ecosystem. Meaning ‘head of the elephant’ in Kiswahili, Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp is set on a private concession leased from Maasai landlords.
Lying at the base of the Oloololo Escarpment just below the area where Out of Africa’s most famous scene was shot, the camp overlooks the plains of the Masai Mara with game frequently viewed in front of the camp.
Activities available include unforgettable game drives in customised, open vehicles where you can expect to encounter large numbers of plains game and spectacular predator interaction. The location, on a private concession not only has some of the best views in the Mara, but enables guests to take part in activities such as walks and night drives that are not available in the national reserve. Bush breakfasts and dinners, as well as authentic cultural interactions can also be arranged.
