Activities include dawn and dusk game drives, escorted game walks, and a visit to a Masai village.

This friendly intimate camp of 8 tents situated in an acacia valley overlooking the Olare Orok stream in the Mara North Conservancy which borders the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Your day starts with a early morning wake up call and a hot cup of coffee before heading out to catch sight of variety of wildlife on offer. The early morning is the best time to see the animals as they are the most active, out hunting before the heat of the day forces them to take cover in the shade before heading out again in the early evening. Your schedule usually follows their lead. You can return to camp for a midday snooze before heading out again or you can have a picnic breakfast and lunch packed for you and head all day.Return as the sun sets for a shower then meet around the campfire to exchange stories before sitting down for a fabulous three course meal.

Kicheche Camp offers a range of activities, why not try a hot air balloon or a walking safari, an optional extra would be camping out in the wilderness under the stars with your experienced guide (charge applies)If you are after some culture or the community projects, these are also possible from the camp.
