Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Masai Mara Reserve Upon your arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport you will be taken to Wilson Airport to fly to the Kichwa Tembo airstrip. Once here you will be met and transferred by road to Kichwa Tembo Camp. The road transfer to the lodge, where you will be met and welcomed, is about 20min. Kichwa Tembo Camp staff are amongst the friendliest in Africa - and before long you will be whisked away to your tent. Depending on what time you arrive, enjoy lunch at the lodge before meeting your guide for tea and set out on your afternoon game drive. Kichwa Tembo Camp has some of the finest Land Rovers in the Mara and the open sided vehicles give you a spectacular view of the wildlife and birdlife. Return to the camp for dinner.   Accommodation : Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp Day 2: Masai Mara Today you will be woken up early by your room steward who brings tea & coffee directly to your tent. Meet your guide for your early morning game drive. Kichwa Tembo is located close to the Mara River and during the Migration months it is not unusual to witness spectacular river crossings close to the camp. Return to the lodge for a large buffet breakfast. Kichwa has beautifully manicured lawns and you may choose to relax around the pool area before lunch. The day continues with an afternoon game drive before returning to the camp for dinner.   Accommodation : Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp Day 3: Masai Mara Another early start this morning, with tea or coffee brought to your room. You will be met and transferred to the Balloon Safari launch site where you will witness the experts inflating rainbow coloured hot-air balloons. Conditions in this area of the Mara mean that abandoned flights are rare so you can enjoy one of the finest & most spectacular balloon flights in the world. Following the Mara river downstream the skilled pilot will land before the Mara flows into the Serengeti. Beware, the landing is a bit bumpy but a champagne breakfast and certificate ceremony await you. Return to the lodge for lunch and an afternoon game drive. Entertainment is provided each evening with either Masai dancers, a craft market or an informative talk by the resident environmentalist.   Accommodation : Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp Day 4: Day of Departure This marks the end of your stay at Kichwa Tembo Camp. After your final morning game drive you will return for breakfast before being transferred to the airstrip for your scheduled flight to Wilson Airport in Nairobi. In Nairobi you will be met and transferred to Nairobi International Airport for your homeward flight or to your hotel for onward plans. Meals : BB
