We wanted to share some exciting news from luxury travel adventure brand andBeyond, with a refreshed look and feel now unveiled at the beloved andBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp.
Set on a private concession within the game-rich Mara Triangle, leased from Maasai landlords at the base of the Oloololo Escarpment, Kichwa Tembo has re-emerged from a soft refurbishment with its classic safari romance fully intact. Comprising 40 tents across the western Mara, right where the Great Migration passes each year, the camp has always felt like a warm, family-style safari home, a feeling that has been carefully preserved while introducing a more contemporary sense of comfort throughout.
The refurbishment brings refreshed interiors, modernised ensuite bathrooms, new canvas across the tents, and more generous bed configurations, along with personal tea and coffee stations added to every tent for guests to enjoy quiet moments overlooking the plains.
Kichwa Tembo continues to offer twice-daily game drives, privately guided bush walks (only available on this private concession), hot air balloon safaris at dawn, and bush dining under the African sky. Guests can expect to encounter the Mara’s resident lion prides and leopards, along with elephant, giraffe and buffalo moving through the concession year-round, while the migration season (typically July to October) brings vast herds of wildebeest and zebra across the plains, closely trailed by cheetah and other predators. Back at camp, life settles into a relaxed, sociable pace around the rim-flow pool, interactive kitchen and Tusker Bar.
