Everything about Kicheche is perfect. The "tents" are actually better than many a 4 star hotel and the staff certainly the most friendly and helpful and dedicated I have met in any accommodation anywhere in the world. The staff made the effort to get to know everyone, learning our names, constantly making sure we had everythnig we needed; absolutely faultless... more

I just returned from the Kicheche camps and all I can say is it was more than I expected. I was nervous about being in a tent, but the tent was nicer than most hotels I've stayed at. Things I liked about the camp was the fact it had electricity, ability to charge your digital cameras, take hot showers and... more

We visited Kicheche Mara Camp in late June as part of our honeymoon. A safari was something we had wanted to do for a long time and had been recommended Kicheche by our tour operator. We were absolutely astounded by the camp and all the staff. We agree with all that has been said so far and were miserable when... more

I agree with everything written by the previous reviewer and so won't repeat it. It is a truly exceptional place to stay. Our big cat encounters included a cheetah chase and kill, leopard kill followed by mother and two large cubs devouring the gazelle up a tree and a lazy group of 9 adolescent lions taking a wildebeest every morning,... more

If you are reading this review because you are considering a stay at Kicheche, then I only have two words for you. BOOK IT. Kicheche is a wonderful place. My husband and I first went there as part of our honeymoon in 2004. We had always wanted to go on safari and this was our first trip to Africa. We... more

I'm a five star kind of girl and staying in a "tent" for my first safari was a bit daunting. If only every tent had such comfortable beds, overhead lights, night tables and fully equipped bathrooms. If only the staff at every place I stayed wanted to know if there was something else I wanted. Atmosphere is more than marble... more

My husband and I stayed in the Kicheche Camp for 5 nights and what a wonderful time we had! The camp, secluded but situated right in the bush close by all the wildlife was amazing. When we arrived at the Mara we were met off the flight by Jonathan, our guide during our stay. He drove us a short distance... more

Great place with comfortable beds, well equipped tents, excellent food and a great communal atmosphere. Capable and appropriate vehicles for the environment and never too many people crammed in due to the limited numbers they accept. You're right in the middle of the best game area in the world and have well trained and knowledgeable guides to point out everything... more

Based on the reviews from TripAdvisor we booked the Kicheche Mara Camp for a 3 night stay (wish we could have stayed longer). We were slightly concerned about not being in the actual Mara Triangle in terms of the game viewing, but our worries proved to be completely unfounded. Saw the Big Five on the doorstep. Absolutely fantastic experience, the... more

Went as part of an Experience Seminars /Exodus trip, for the purpose of photography We benefitted from an early start each day, before sunrise to nighttime. Excellent guides (Charles and Micah, our driver was Charles), who did a great job of seeking out animals, getting us close to the animals without getting too close to them. The guides were patient... more
