Kicheche Mara Camp

Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

Silver price level

Mango Opinion

Kicheche Mara Camp is a comfortable tented camp located in the Mara North Conservancy - an area well known for amazing year round wildlife viewing. The camp is lacking a little bit of personality by comparison to other properties in the area but the value is serious so we use it often for people with a limited budget. 

Kicheche Mara Camp is a classic tented camp hidden in a beautiful valley in a prime wildlife area of the Mara North Conservancy, bordering the Mara Reserve. 

The camp prides itself on offering a friendly and relaxing stay, with the hosts treating you as welcome guests. To maintain this intimate and relaxed atmosphere there are only eight tents, each comfortably furnished with an en-suite bathroom with running hot and cold water, low wattage lighting is supplied 24 hours. All tents are overlooking the Olare Orok stream and the western escarpment of the valley. Triple and Quad tents (1 double & 2 single beds) and a family suite are also available. The camp lounge has a stunning view down the valley and offers comfortable seating, a library, board games, cards and local crafts.

The cooks produce delicious and healthy meals, and the menu features both African and international dishes. Fresh produce is flown in regularly and bread and pastries are baked daily. The camp has a mess tent for inclement weather, but they like to take meals al fresco whenever possible. Guest may sit at the communal table with their hosts, or are welcome to dine privately.

Activities include wildlife drives, guided walks and learning more about their community projects and involvement.
