Kicheche Bush Camp

A Remote Hideaway in Big Cat Country

The sun dips low over the acacia-dotted plains. A cheetah stretches lazily on a termite mound, her gaze locked on distant gazelles. In the distance, elephants move in silhouette as you sip a sundowner in the golden silence. This is Kicheche Bush Camp—the Masai Mara as it was meant to be: wild, private, and deeply authentic.

The Camp & Setting

Indulge in Unmatched Comfort

Kicheche Bush Camp sits in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, one of the most wildlife-rich corners of the Mara ecosystem. Small and intimate, the camp features just six spacious tents with understated elegance. Designed for safari purists, the camp is unfenced, solar-powered, and perfectly positioned for big game encounters.

Six luxury tents with en suite bathrooms and private verandas
Stylishly simple interiors with sustainable design
