In August 2012 I booked a safari to the Masai Mara through JT Safaris (Julius Tact Safaris) and stayed at the Kichwa Tembo Tented Lodge. The tented lodge was an amazing experience. The tents were very well furnished and the staff couldn't do enough for you. I loved the turndown service with a hot water bottle placed in my bed... More

The tents are roomy and luxurious and we were provided with a hot water bottle as it was much colder than previously. The service was again brilliant . Everyone from our butler to the... More

I have stayed at andBeyond camps/lodges on a few occasions and have always been 'beyond' satisfied. However, Kichwa Tembo was a disappointment. It lacks all the attention to details which I have gotten used to when going with andBeyond. Firstly, the camp is very big and it also feels like there are bussloads of people there. In other camps there... More

Kichwa Tembo was exceptional! The service was unbeatable! Everyone was ready to serve you hand and foot. The food was exceptional with organic ingredients grown in their own garden and prepared by by an extremely well trained chef. We were upgraded to luxury tent cabins which were stunning and overlooked the Mara. The safari's were unbeatable-we saw the big 5... More

It was quite nice to see some old friends – Benedict Kalului (our ranger on previous visits), Joel the pool attendant; James (the manager) and of course the incomparable Chef George. Our guide Protus was supurb; very professional, positive and knowledgeable. As usual,... More

Our 2 night, 3 day stay at Kichwa Tembo was beyond perfect. From the moment we arrived until our very reluctant departure, we had an absolute ball.

This was our first time to Masai Mara! Kichwa Tembo has the best possible staff! We were treated like kings and queens. The sleeping arrangements were of utmost superiority! The meals were fresh, delicious and obviously made from scratch. Our tour guide Carlton was the most incredibly knowledgable individual! He instinctively knew where to go for us to see amazing...
