About the camp

About Kicheche Bush Olare.

Kicheche's camp in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy is small and unfenced, in a 35,000-acre area that borders the Maasai Mara National Reserve and keeps vehicle numbers low. The conservancy is a partnership with more than 300 Maasai landowners, and the migration passes nearby in season.

Game drives are led by Kicheche's own guides, with guided walks, a night of wild camping and a visit to the Maa Trust's beadwork project as options. Balloon safaris can be added as an extra.

When to go

The camp through the year.

July to October

A Kenya Wildlife Service official says the wildebeest migration is on the Kenyan side in these months. Timing varies from year to year, and sightings are never guaranteed.

November to March

Kenya Wildlife Service counts July to March as high season, with sunny weather and short grass that makes animals easier to see.

April to June

The long rains usually fall now. Kenya Wildlife Service notes that some roads may need four-wheel drive.
