Discover the riches of the Maasai Mara and explore Kenya's most captivating wild places, guided by those who call it home.
The Tembo by Jackson Collection provides two stunning but diverse camps in the famous Masai Mara. Both pioneer and support successful Masai community and local conservation efforts across the Masai Mara biotope: Tembo Bush Camp in the heart of the National Reserve, and Tembo Spirit Camp in the beautiful Lemek Conservancy.
Two complementary camps, carefully sited to place you at the heart of the action.
Tembo Bush Camp lies at the center of the National Reserve, at the heart of superb sunrise to sunset game viewing. Set within luxuriant riverine bush, your views over the Mara’s grass plains are magnificent and you will be fully immersed in Africa’s traditional wildlife tented safari experience.
Morning and evening drives across the reserve with expert Maasai guides who know where the great cats rest.
Every moment guided by Maasai trackers who read the land like a story they have known all their lives.
Every journey supports the rangers, conservancies and Maasai communities who protect the Mara. Low-impact camps, local employment, and a share of every stay returned to the land that makes it all possible.
Tembo gave us the Mara as the Maasai know it, unhurried, wild, and utterly our own.
Dear traveller,
the wildebeest are running and the light is gold. Let us write when the Mara is at its best.

Closer than you think, a short flight from Nairobi sets you down minutes from camp.
Daily light-aircraft flights from Nairobi's Wilson Airport and from Mombasa land at the Mara airstrips, a short transfer from both camps. Prefer the scenic route? Our Land Cruisers can collect you in Nairobi and drive you down to the Mara.
July to October for the great migration, December to March for calving and lush green plains, and resident game all year round.
Meals, game drives and park transfers are included. Walking and night drives feature in the Lemek Conservancy.
