Kicheche Mara Camp

Kicheche Mara Camp is your gateway to an immersive safari experience, nestled in a verdant acacia valley within the Mara North Conservancy. This camp embodies the spirit of the African bush, offering an intimate, low-key environment where luxury is found in the harmony between nature and comfort. With just nine tents, Kicheche Mara provides an exclusive safari experience where the sounds of the wild are your constant companions.

The camp’s design is purposefully rustic, blending into the landscape with no fences to separate you from the wildlife. Each tent overlooks the Olare Orok stream, providing a front-row seat to the daily drama of the Mara’s fauna. Here, the focus is on authenticity, where expert Maasai guides and trackers lead you through the conservancy, ensuring your encounters with nature are both profound and personal.

The exclusivity of the Mara North Conservancy allows for experiences not available in the busier parts of the reserve, like night drives and guided walks, offering a more comprehensive safari experience. Kicheche Mara Camp ensures that your stay is not just about observing wildlife but living alongside it, in a setting where each day brings new discoveries.

Location

Located in the Mara North Conservancy, Kicheche Mara Camp is strategically placed to maximize your wildlife encounters while ensuring solitude. The conservancy, known for its rich biodiversity, offers guests a chance to witness the natural behavior of animals without the intrusion of large tourist groups. The camp’s position by the Olare Orok stream is ideal for observing both the game that comes to drink and the migratory birds that populate the area.
