Lodge
Kichwa Tembo is situated at the foot of the Oloololo Escarpment on the western border of the Masai Mara Reserve in southwestern Kenya. Meaning ‘Head of the Elephant’ in KiSwahili, Kichwa Tembo is located on a private concession leased from Maasai landlords in the exclusive western Mara – much less crowded than the eastern part of the Reserve. In addition to an excellent year-round concentration of animals, Kichwa Tembo lies directly in the path of Africa’s spectacular Great Migration of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti, Tanzania, to the Masai Mara in Kenya. This is indeed nature at her most theatrical, offering you an African wildlife experience unsurpassed in the world. The main guest area, shaded by a dense forest canopy, consists of a sitting area with fireplaces and veranda with views of the endless game-filled Mara plains. Beautifully hand-crafted artifacts, fine antiques, leather-buttoned Chesterfield sofas, books, crystal and candlelight will transport guests back to the heyday of the romantic classic safari. A unique feature is the tree-shaded rim-flow lap pool with a view of the Mara. Guests are welcome to visit the Safari Shop at Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp. This exclusive safari camp is the epitome of private tented luxury. Bateleur Camp is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and comprises just nine tented suites set among the forests on the edge of the Masai Mara.
