Location:

Kicheche Private Camp is a small eco-friendly traditional tented camp, hidden in a forest adjacent to Mara Camp. Private Camp consists of seven luxury tents and is only available on an exclusive basis for private groups. Its small size, bush feel and well-hidden location make a stay an intimate and authentic experience.

Accommodations:

The fully insect-proof Manyara-style twin tents are laid out under the trees. Bathrooms are en-suite and are equipped with a dresser, bucket shower and flushing toilet, whilst lighting is provided by our solar inverter system. Hammocks are slung between nearby trees and the spacious lounge tent offers another place to relax with comfortable seating, a library and board games. Our cooks produce delicious and healthy meals, and the menu features a wide range of dishes. Fresh produce is brought in regularly and bread and pastries are baked daily. Meals are taken al-fresco whenever possible or when the weather is inclement, in the lounge tent .

Game Viewing & Activities:

Game Drives Early morning and late afternoon are the most productive hours for game drives and our safari customized 4WD vehicles give everyone a perfect view. Watching wildlife at close range, but without encroaching on their space, is endlessly fascinating and our guides' instincts and experience provide superb photo opportunities of wild animals. Our vehicles are superbly designed for photographers, all our fleet is open-sided with open roofs. Cameras can be rested on the roof, with supplied beanbags, or on the armrests lower down, to which we can mount simple platforms for larger lenses. For complete flexibility it is recommended that you take a vehicle on an exclusive use basis ($230 per day supplement).
Walking A different perspective is gained through escorted walks on the savannah. Safety is paramount when leaving camp on foot so all walks are escorted by an armed ranger. Our interpretive guides will point out the spoor of a leopard, the nest of a rare bird or signs of recent migration activity that would pass unnoticed by the eyes of strangers...
Village Visits Guests can visit one of the local Maasai villages to see first hand their way of life. A village guide or your Kicheche guide will give you an interpretive talk during your visit. There is sometimes dancing and traditional souvenirs are on sale. There is a charge of $10 per person. School Visits Kicheche's Community Project supports two local schools - Olkimitare Nursery School & Aitong Primary Academy, during term time it is possible to pay a visit to either school. Any educational gifts or donations that you can contribute are an enormous help to these struggling schools.
