Tented suites at the safari camp are available in three varieties: twelve traditional tents tucked away in the forest close to the Saparingo River, twenty superior tents surrounded by shaded trees, and eight superior view tents with a view of the Mara plains (three of which are family suites). Each of the spacious stilt-style tented apartments features a long wraparound seat with cushions, a screened-in porch, and an en suite bathroom.

We observed a buffalo and a giraffe from our hotel, and you could see the Masai Mara while taking a shower. Our room was lovely, and the view was even better (we strongly suggest the superior view). The cuisine was excellent; they really pampered us with many courses for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We saw all we could have dreamed of on our safari during the wildlife drives! The male cheetah, rhino, and lion were our top three. Within the first 24 hours, we saw them all! You will adore AndBeyond Kichwa Tembo just as much as we did! I heartily recommend a trip to the Masai Mara!
Kichwa Tempo exceeded all expectations! We had the impression that we had arrived at our close friends’ house. This place has such a unique vibe; I adored the layout, the surroundings, the perspective, and the sense of space. And the folks themselves! Their friendliness, their gorgeous grins (which never fail!), and their concern for making sure we had the best possible experience left us speechless. You’ll find that the surprises were a ton of fun! Supporting their mission of sustainability and taking care of the land, the wildlife, and the people felt nice because these are such noble and desirable objectives.
