Kicheche Mara & Bush Camp

K I C H E C H E M A R A C A M P

A sense of wilderness living prevails at this intimate canvas bush camp which is located on the Aitong Plains in the north of the Masai Mara. Hidden in a grove of wild olive trees in a prolific wildlife area, the camp is completely unfenced – hence game viewing starts right from the camp itself. Accommodation is provided in 11 spacious East African style tents with ensuite authentic ‘bucket’ shower and flush toilet. There are canvas director’s chairs on the verandah and hammocks slung between nearby trees – and the communal Nyati tent has a collection of fascinating reference books. Most meals are served alfresco overlooking the plains. Walking safaris are available – and the camp is closed in April and May. Access is via a daily flight from Nairobi to the Mara Ngerende airstrip followed by a 30 minute game drive.

Located in the OlareOrok Conservancy bordering the Masai Mara Reserve, Kicheche Bush Camp is also unfenced – and its unique situation is ideal for experiencing the wildebeest migration. Small and exclusive, Bush Camp accommodates a maximum of just 12 guests in its six stylish ensuite tents (also with ‘bucket’ shower and flushing toilet). There is no mains power – lighting is provided through the camp’s solar invertor system. Kicheche Bush Camp also offers the opportunity for walking safaris. The camp is closed from March to early June and again from mid-November to mid-December. Access is via a daily scheduled flight from Nairobi to the Mara Ol Kiombo airstrip followed by a 45 minute game drive.
