This solar powered camp is one of our favourite camps in the Mara. Sometimes everything just clicks together so nicely and that's exactly what has happened here.

Camp

Nestled amidst the thorny acacia trees lies the central hub, featuring a main dining and lounge tent that exudes comfort and subtle style. A spacious square table awaits everyone for meals, surrounded by beautiful kelim carpets that provide a plush feel underfoot. Outside, a fire pit encircled by canvas directors' chairs and adorned with a captivating assortment of skulls and bones offers the ideal setting to witness the night unfold, with crackling flames and the starry sky as your canopy.

Rooms

Scattered across the grassy hillside surrounding the camp are six expansive canvas tents. Positioned to capture uninterrupted views of the surroundings, these tents boast a distinct "Out of Africa" ambiance, combining classic safari comfort with a clutter-free lounge area. Accessible through a large roll-up mosquito-protection wall, the main bedroom beckons with a luxuriously comfortable bed draped in warm white cotton sheets, while a small bathroom rests to one side. Settling into the Kicheche experience is effortlessly seamless.

Activity

The absence of fixed game-drives grants you the freedom to tailor your safari experience to your desires. Whether you choose to spend the day observing lions, explore a local village, embark on a hot air balloon ride, indulge in a bush picnic, or venture into the wilderness on a walking safari, the low-traffic setting ensures a more personalized encounter with nature. The guides, endowed with extensive knowledge, are ready to enhance your Kicheche experience.

What you'll love

The team here are passionate and kind and the guides are some of the best you'll find in the Mara - and having guided BBC film makers, award-winning wildlife photographers and even a few celebrities, you're in very good hands.

Insiders tip

The expertly-run vegetable garden is a treat! Ask the managers for a behind-the-scenes tour and meet head chef Kisombe.
