We have not encountered such a warm and sincerely friendly atmosphere as in this camp anywhere else.
This is absolutely amazing place from all the aspects." See all these reviews: 7n in Kenya; 3n in Rwanda; 3n in Botswana; 3n in Tanzania; 2n in South Africa; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Kicheche Bush Camp review"
Our guide Josphat was excellent. We were a bit disappointed to be put with another couple in the vehicle, as we had been on our own everywhere else. However it worked out well as they weren't big photographers so we all had enough space for photos (I have two cameras with big lenses).
The only thing I would do differently next time is to have shorter game drives in the morning so that there is more downtime. We were pretty much safaried out by the end of our stay. Six hour drives was a bit exhausting. Maybe slightly longer in the evening eg 2x 3 hrs.
Also some local specialities on the menu at each venue would be nice." See all these reviews: 12n in Kenya

"Perfection!"
Kicheche Bush camp is slightly smaller than Kicheche Mara making the experience a bit more personal. With the smaller camp it was easier for us to meet most of the staff and make more of a connection.
Ann and Dido welcome you and from the very beginning confirm food preferences and any other needs that may not have been communicated to them earlier. Abraham and Kennedy do everything to make sure you have everything you need during meals and just relaxing. Brian took care of our tent making sure everything was perfect for our comfort. Beatrice was a joy to be around and ensured that all our food needs were attended to. Charles and Gladys prepared the most delicious meals and desserts. Peter ensured our safety to and from our tents in the dark.
I am in awe of the amount of knowledge shared by the guides. Every animal, every plant, every bird and their song. Everything about their behavior. The connection with some of the animals, knowing their history and behavior. We drove both with the seasoned Patrick, and the younger Josphat. In addition to all the knowledge they bring (and continue to learn in the rare moment of them not knowing something) Patrick’s keen eye for the perfect photo, and Josphat’s sense of humor, made driving with each of them unique and exceptional experiences."

"Kicheche Bush Camp review"
The food and beverages were excellent - a variety of choices and excellent food. They made it a point to accommodate any special requests there may have been. Abraham prides himself on his Masai Tea - as he should! Do try it! Many choices available for cocktails and tea time as well.
Tents were comfortable and had all the amenities needed. A bit more rustic than the first camp in Mara North, but still very comfortable.
The last night we pulled into camp, we were treated to a tribal greeting and dance. There really aren't words to describe this warm, enveloping experience they shared with us. A few tears of gratitude and awe were shed that evening - being able to be a part of this was beyond my wildest dreams." See all these reviews: 11n in Kenya

Staff went way beyond normal excellence to provide Maasai entertainment, safari walk guide, help with a Halloween surprise, and even allowed me to ride a motorcycle.
Lodging was fantastic too, although the king bed mattress (in Sambuyu? Name might be incorrect) is a bit worn out. Might just need to be flipped.
Prices in gift shop were very good, and several of us purchase items, especially Kicheche caps." See all these reviews: 11n in Kenya

Part of the reason to choose a high end camp is because of the guides and I would have expected the camp to have someone with her to help. Her English was not great and at times we did not understand what she said." See all these reviews: 9n in Kenya

"Kicheche Bush Camp review"
The Bush Camp is a little different from the Valley Camp but the same quality of service is still evident.
The food continues to be amazing- we invited their chef to come back to the states with us!
We couldn’t imagine that our animal sightings could get any better but each day brought new experiences. We witnessed 3 cheetah cubs checking out the world on their first day leaving the den!
Thank you." See all these reviews: 12n in Kenya
