Kicheche Mara Camp - Masai Mara Safaris, Kenya

Kicheche Mara Camp bush hideaway in Kenya welcomes you to a different world; a world centered at the heart of the African wilderness that is the Masai Mara Game Reserve. A world of majestic animals, dazzling birds, sweeping grass lands, flat-topped trees and breathtaking sunsets.

Unfenced and secluded in a thicket of Euclea and African Olives, Kicheche impinges so little on the natural inhabitants of this prolific reserve that animals wander through the grounds at any time unperturbed. Kicheche Mara Camp is located on the Aitong Plains in the northern Koiyaki Lemek region of the famous Masai Mara Reserve. The camp is hidden in a grove of wild olive and croton trees in a prime wildlife area. Game viewing starts right from the camp itself. Staying in a bush camp doesn't mean compromising on comfort; the food and service are first class, as are the warmth and experience of Kicheche Mara Camp's staff.
