Kicheche Mara Camp
Kicheche Mara Camp
The Camp.
Kicheche Mara Camp is a classic tented camp hidden in a beautiful valley in a prime wildlife area of the Mara North Conservancy. The luxury tents are laid out alongside a seasonal stream from where you can observe the resident birdlife and plains game beyond.
The location is ideal as game viewing frequently starts in the camp itself and there is prime wildlife habitat on all sides providing an ideal base for your safari in the Masai Mara.
The family suite with two separate bedrooms (double & twin/triple) with ensuite bathrooms is ideal for up to 5 people. The bedrooms are connected by a lounge furnished with a sofa and small table enabling private dining.

The camp lounge has a stunning view down the valley and offers comfortable seating, a library, board games, and local crafts
The camp prides itself on offering a friendly and intimate stay, with our hosts treating you as welcome guests, not just travel statistics. The camp is hosted and there is a team of attentive staff ensuring personal warmth and attention to any needs during your stay
Meals are taken in our dining tent or in the shade of a large euclea tree with a beautiful view down the valley
Water dispenser in the tents to refill your complimentary water bottles
Lighting is supplied 24 hours; charging facilities available in the tents, however, the solar system does not allow hair dryers

Family
While the whole ethos of Kicheche is based around a small camp sharing safari experiences, we understand that after a whole year of work and often stress back home, it is nice for families to enjoy their African Holiday retreat on their own sometimes.
The family suite, with two separate bedrooms (double & twin/triple) with ensuite bathrooms, is ideal for family bonding experiences. The bedrooms are connected by a lounge furnished with a sofa and small table enabling private dining. You can combine Kicheche Laikipia and Kicheche Mara Camp in family suites for an exceptional family safari.
