Set where the Sabaringo River meets the Maasai Mara’s sweeping plains, this tented safari camp offers understated luxury with all the creature comforts you’d expect. It lies on a private concession that’s been leased from Maasai landlords to ensure an exclusive wildlife-viewing experience and is backed by the rugged Oloololo Escarpment.
Contemporary design elements have been employed in each of the 40 split-level safari tents, which boast impressive views from their private decks. Wildlife is often seen grazing outside the spacious dining room where homegrown organic produce is transformed into delicious dishes. Guests can be pampered during a holistic treatment in the massage tent or pick up fine Kenyan handicrafts in the Safari Shop before refreshing with a dip in the rim-flow swimming pool.
Spend your days game driving, hot air ballooning or enjoying a cultural Maasai village visit before ending the day with sundowners overlooking the stunning surrounds. The WILDChild program offers plenty of activities for children, include Maasai village visits to interact with local children, painting, storytelling, beadwork and baking. The &Beyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp is conveniently served by its own airstrip, which can be accessed via daily flights from Nairobi and Mombasa.
