Kicheche Bush Camp
Kicheche Bush Camp is one of the most intimate luxury safari camps in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, offering a classic tented safari experience in one of the most wildlife-rich areas of the Maasai Mara ecosystem.
With only a small number of tents and a secluded setting among acacia woodland, the camp provides a quiet and authentic safari atmosphere that appeals particularly to experienced safari travellers and wildlife photographers.
Location & Landscape
Kicheche Bush Camp is located within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, a private wildlife conservancy bordering the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
The conservancy structure allows:
- limited vehicle numbers
- off-road driving
- night drives
- walking safaris
The surrounding landscape consists of rolling savannah plains, scattered acacia trees, and seasonal streams that attract a wide variety of wildlife including lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, and large herds of plains game.
Because of the conservancy model, wildlife encounters are often quieter and more intimate than in the main reserve.
Accommodation & Design
Kicheche Bush Camp offers a small collection of classic safari tents, designed to blend comfort with a strong sense of wilderness.
Accommodation features:
- spacious canvas tents
- private verandas overlooking the savannah
- ensuite bathrooms with hot bucket showers
- elegant but understated safari interiors
The camp retains the atmosphere of a traditional East African safari while providing the comforts expected of a luxury tented camp.
