Setting
Located in the Masai Mara Reserve within the Olare Orok Conservancy, Kicheche Bush Camp is a secluded camp, situated within a thicket of Euclea and African Olives. Bordering the Masai Mara Game Reserve, game viewing starts right from the camp itself. Kicheche Bush Camp’s location is ideal for experiencing the annual wildebeest migration.
Accommodation & Facilities
The six custom designed tents at Kicheche Bush Camp are spacious and fully insect-proof. Each is equipped with twin or double beds, fresh linen, bedside tables, luggage racks and rugs. En-suite bathrooms include a dresser, flushing toilet and traditional safari bucket shower with a view. Each tent has a veranda overlooking the plains, with comfortable chairs for relaxing and observing the wildlife. For larger groups and families, one tent can be converted into a triple on request.
Kicheche Bush Camp has a spacious, well-furnished lounge and dining tent, although meals are often taken al-fresco. This intimate camp lends itself to communal dining, although private dining can be arranged on request.
Dining
