Wildlife has long been the lure for tourists to Kenya, particularly the rolling grasslands of the Masai Mara, home to the icing on the safari cake — the Big Five — lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants and rhinos.
Established in the early Seventies, the andBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp overlooking Masai Mara has just revealed a serious makeover, with 40 contemporary tents lined with cypress wood and furnished with upcycled furniture, with features designed to minimise the camp’s environmental impact, including metres of solar panelling.
Butler hatches are installed for morning coffee to be delivered. There’s an improved swimming pool and a garden-to-table lunch where guests choose ingredients from the organic vegetable garden. The only thing that remains untouched is the unbeatable location, with the chance of spotting those elusive animals.
From £200pp per night all-inclusive, based on two people sharing, including two safari activities per day and return transfers to the lodge airstrip, andbeyond.com
