We have stayed in some very luxurious tents but Kicheche definitely came out on top. The tent was amazing, we know that in a tent we are lucky to have lights, in Kicheche the lights have shades!! The bucket shower was perfect and always plenty of water for 2 of us. The camp is on a conservancy it is part... More

From the moment you arrive in camp, the welcome and service you receive from Emma, Darren and their staff sets the stall out for an unforgettably great experience. Our guide Nelson had so much knowledge which he managed to pass on to us throughout our trip. Cannot wait to visit again!!

I loved Kicheche Bush Camp. Darren & Emma are lovely hosts, I really felt that I was their guest. The tents at KBC are enormous by tented camp standards. They are really beautifully decorated, with a light, airy, slightly modern feel. The natural palette of whites and creams and woods was very warm and inviting. The sunken shower ("bucket" shower)...

Kicheche camps are not cheap (necessarily because of the limit on numbers in the Conservancy) but the standard of comfort, food, service and skilled guiding are of the very highest level. Our tent was very luxurious and we were pampered by our tent steward, food was very good and sufficient and charmingly served; guiding was extremely good and very attentive.... More

I should start this review by stating that Kicheche Bush Camp is not another "luxury" game resort complete with crystal chandeliers, gourmet meals and the finest wines - it is much better than that. It consists of 6 very high quality tents with extremely comfortable beds and all the amenities you could need and is located in the Olare Orok... More

In January, we stayed at this camp with a World Vision group. It was an outstanding experience. The staff was terrific and the drivers were tenacious in getting us up close to the magnificent wild life. It was everything that we could have hoped for and we hope to return someday. We would love to share this experience with our... More

We stayed at Kicheche Bush Camp in December 2012, our first time in the Mara. While we have been on other safaris before, Kicheche Bush camp is a whole different league. Darren and Emma are wonderful hosts who could probably let any guest feel at home. They, and all their staff, go the extra mile for you. The tents are... More

In February we visited Kicheche Bush Camp which has just 6 large spacious tents each with a private verandah looking out into the bush in a wonderful setting in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy which is just minutes away from the Masai Mara Reserve so you can experience the best of both worlds. Darren and Emma are excellent camp hosts creating... More

This was my second visit to Kicheche Bush Camp,and for a variety of reasons it was far better than the first. First of all,I arrived with all my baggage because Kenyan Airways was given the chance to misplace it,second of all it didn't rain during my five day stay in August. The staff was again superb in every way,shape,and form.... More
