I had been lucky enough to go on safari before but my two nights at Kicheche Camp felt in comparison a once in a lifetime experience. Absolutely incredible from the moment we were met by our guides in our own four wheel drive, driven to the camp (seeing lion, cheetah, elephant, zebra, antelope, hippo...within the first hour) and met by...

A wonderful experience...herds of elephants and giraffes easily seen from our tent. The staff is excellent and so caring about everything to make your safari just perfect. The food was superb even for a picky eater like me. The tent had everything one could want - even a comfortable king bed!

From being picked up by David at the landingstrip to our departure everything was perfect. We were lucky enough to be kept awake by the elephants eating the fruit from the Pepper tree outside our tent on our first night, we appreciated the need for the askari to look after us. To enjoying the most amazing sundowners by the hippo... More

The new Kicheche Mara camp is situated in a beautiful location. It is nestled in a small valley with tall shade trees, and great views. Everything about the camp lives up to the normal excellent Kicheche standard. The hosts and staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble when dealing with the guests. The food was first class with... More

From the time of arriving at Kicheche Mara Camp, to the point of departure, I had nothing but efficient, courteous and friendly service. Simon and Olivia, the camp managers, made us very welcome on our arrival and ensured that things operated smoothly. I had a problem with the bucket shower on the first night (inefficient water flow) and reported it.... More

Stayed 5 nights for a Wild Arena photography trip - it was excellent in all regards. The camp is in a beautiful setting, very well appointed luxury tents (you need to be smartish in the bucket shower for 2 people but perfectly fine). The staff were all very attentive, fun and friendly and the camp hosts Simon and Olivia helpful... More

Kicheche-Mara Camp is located in a small valley, alongside a creek, which means great wildlife viewing around camp. In fact, you can often see zebra, antelope, baboons, and other animals from the dining area and the tents. It’s green and lush, and the eight tents are spaced out, most tucked in among trees and bushes for privacy. Within just a... More

The best African safari ever. Simon & Olivia are excellent hosts and the camp runs like clockwork. Guides are friendly and very knowledgeable and the camp is first class. We saw more animals than we dared to hope for and are already looking forward to our next visit.

Spent three nights here recently as part of our honeymoon. Was superb. Lovely location in a valley with wildlife freely roaming about - including a pride of lions on one occasion! Game drives were fantastic, half the time we had a truck and guide (George) to ourselves the rest of the time we were sharing with one other couple. Wildlife... More

This camp is set in a slightly hilly area by a little river which you cross by a small bridge. You have to drive down a very rocky hill to get to the camp - they did that to keep the camp more private, but hold on to your seats!! The camp is clean and the staff is friendly, especially... More
