Kicheche Mara Camp is one of the best value safari camps in the Mara Conservation Area. This is a well put together, traditional safari camp, and it's somewhere you'll get excellent game viewing and comfortable accommodation, without having to re-mortgage your house.
Kicheche may not be as intimate as some of the smaller camps at eleven double tents, but it still manages to provide an excellent service. Staff, including the manager, Charles Lemiso, are sharp and friendly - and the bed-tents, large lounge tent and dining tent are well equipped. Public areas do seem a trifle small for a full camp though. The styling is tasteful - and there has been a fairly deft and sympathetic hand behind the place, adding some nice touches. Like Richards Camp which is not far off, Kicheche is on the edge of the Aitong Plains. This is wide open and very beautiful country, but a camp in this area has to sit in the woodland for shelter, and shade - which means no views or wide open spaces. Views or not, Kicheche is well laid out, relatively informal, and with plenty of space, ergo privacy, for each tent.
