Set amongst the forest at the foot of the scenic Oloololo escarpment (the rim of the Great Rift Valley) in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve, the reserve enjoys year around astounding concentration of animals, including the seasonal Great Wildebeest Migration. Guests can enjoy an exclusive wildlife experience on a game drive or on foot. It comprises two intimate camps of nine tented suites each and a family tent. Each elegant tent, with its own private butler and housekeeper reflects the ambiance and glamour of Kenyan explorers of old. The lap pools in each camp provide cool comfort in between game drives. Delectable cuisine is served in a memorable setting beneath the stars and bush breakfasts and romantic sundowners offer an unforgettable African experience.

Air Kenya and Safari Link operate two scheduled flights a day from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to Kichwa Tembo’s private airstrip; the flights take approximately an hour.
