In addition to its the excellent year-round concentration of wildlife, Kichwa Tembo lies directly in the path of Africa’s spectacular Great Migration. Meaning ‘head of the elephant’ in KiSwahili, Kichwa Tembo consists of private land leased from Maasai landlords and situated in the remote western Mara, almost exclusively explored by fly-in guests. &Beyond Bateleur Camp and Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp are situated in the Kichwa Tembo private concession, which neighbours the Masai Mara. The reserve is also home to over 450 bird species. Leopard are frequently encountered, endangered black rhino find shelter in dense thickets and rafts of hippo and enormous crocodiles are found in the Mara River. With abundant elephant, buffalo, giraffe, lion and cheetah alongside the migratory wildebeest and zebra, the reserve is a photographer’s and naturalist’s paradise. Bush breakfasts and romantic sundowners on the edge of the Rift Valley offer an unforgettable African experience. Delicious meals are served in memorable setting beneath the stars, followed by fireside port and cigars. A deep, refreshing lap pool provides cool comfort. Beautifully handcrafted artefacts, fine antiques, leather buttoned Chesterfield sofas, books, crystal and candlelight adorn the comfortable sitting and dining areas, transporting guests back to the heyday of classical safari. Each tent has its own deck overlooking the vast game-filled plains of the Masai Mara and a personal butler ensures that every need is catered for. The tented suites boast an easy, classical elegance, with polished wooden floors and ensuite bathrooms with stone-walled showers. The epitome of tented luxury, &Beyond Bateleur Camp comprises just two intimate camps of nine tented suites each, set among the forests on the edge of the Masai Mara.
