Hidden amongst wild Olive Groves and Croton Trees on the Northern Mara plains is Kicheche Mara Camp. The camp is located in a prime game viewing area and game viewing starts directly from the camp. The Masai Mara hosts one of earths greatest shows with the annual wildebeest migration passing through the park annually.
The camp will host no more than 22 guests as any time in 11 tents. Each tent is comfortably furnished with an en-suite bathroom with flush loos, warm showers and low wattage lighting is supplied 24 hours a day. Many of the tents are in secluded areas, overlooking the plains and hills, however there are a few which are closer together which will be perfect for families and friends travelling together. The camp lounge is known as Nyati offer comfortable seating area as well as a library. Meals are al fresco whenever possible and are a mixture of African and International Cuisine
Early morning and late afternoon game drives are taken in open sided vehicles, which offer you the perfect platform to watch and photograph the wildlife without encroaching on their space. You can also experience the Mara on foot by doing a walking safari exploring the little things missed on a vehicle. Your stay would not be complete without a visit to a local village and school.
