About the camp

About Kicheche Mara North.

Kicheche Mara North sits in an unfenced conservancy of about 73,000 acres on the north-western edge of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, leased from more than 800 Maasai landowners. Wildlife often passes close to the tents, and the camp holds a Gold eco-rating from Ecotourism Kenya.

Game drives are led by Kicheche's own guides, with guided walks, a night of wild camping and visits to the Mara Elephant Project as options. Balloon safaris can be added as an extra.
