Location
Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp is situated on the border of the Masai Mara National Reserve in South-western Kenya. Set on a private concession leased from Masai landlords, the camp lies at the base of the Oloololo escarpment and is fringed by riverine forest just below the spot where 'Out of Africa's' most famous scene was shot. The camp faces out onto the plains of the Masai Mara and lies directly in the path of what is considered to be the greatest spectacle in the animal kingdom, the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti National Park of Tanzania. The migration is not predictable but usually arrives during June and departs in October.

Accommodation
Forty twin-bedded safari tents with en suite bathroom and two twin-bedded thatched Rondavels with en suite bathroom. The tents are spacious and have a shower, hand basin, W.C, dressing table and wardrobe. Each tent has a flysheet roof and zip-up front entrance and windows.

Facilities
Main guest area includes a reception, bar/lounge and indoor/outdoor dining area, all of which overlook endless, game-filled plains and are shaded by a dense forest canopy, with the Oloololo escarpment in the background. There is a swimming pool set amongst trees and surrounded by lawns. A curio shop is situated close to reception. An electric fence surrounds the camp. ActivitiesMorning and afternoon game drives in open topped vehicles, bird watching and daily lectures by a Masai naturalist.

Optional excursions at an additional cost include night game drives on the lodge's private concession, guided walking trails up along the Oloololo escarpment, a Masai community visit, sundowners at a location with spectacular views across the Mara and hot air ballooning.

Access: Air Kenya operates two scheduled flights a day from Wilson Airport to Kichwa Tembo's private airstrip. The flight takes approximately one hour. The lodge collects guests from and returns them to the airstrip, which takes 30 minutes.
