Visited in September 2012 - the staff and guides were amazing, the camp was sheer luxury and we saw everything we could have hoped for - cheetahs, leopards, lions, crocs, hippos, elephants to name but a few - out on our drives. Couldn't have wished for a better Safari...

Last year we went in July 2012 for 5 nights, this year February 2013 for 6 nights. Apart from different managers (Kat & Charles who were very nice) everything else was as fantastic as last year. Comfy huge double beds, fantastic food, great staff & guides. Sundowners while out on safari, drinks around the camp fire. The camp is unfenced... More

Jimmy, George and Murad are among the guys you should look out for, they made our time on Safari a great exprience. Charles and Kat did their best on camp to make us as comfortable as possible not forgetting the chefs and a very humours character who goes by the name of Micheal or waiter. We went in a group...

This camp is in the most natural setting imaginable and we were thrilled to watch giraffe, zebra and baboons from our porch. All the tented rooms and public accommodation sit inconspicuously in the park and our tent - with en suite flushing loo and bucket shower - was better appointed than many hotel rooms I've stayed in. The seemingly endless... More

The location of the camp is lovely and the tents themselves are well designed although in the small side. Our guide was superb and took huge trouble to give us interesting experiences and fascinating information. He was always on the look out to make the most of our game drives. And the Mara is a rich experience indeed. However five... More

I returned in November 2012 to Kicheche Mara Camp after having visited the year before. Cat and Charles, who manage the camp now, are a delight. Cat spends the most time with guests, and she is warm, friendly, very knowledgeable and runs a well-organized camp. In short, the same high caliber as you can expect at all Kicheche camps. All...
