"Mara North Conservanvy: Home of Cheethas"
Our guide in this Camp was Peter, although still young very much experienced and a fantastic spotter!! His eyes and knowledge are incredible and we were so happy to have him as our guide! The wildlife in Mara North is as good as in the other Mara conservancies and we saw cheetahs (including a hunt) on almost every game drive and again many lions - just the leopard was missing here during our stay!
In contrast to Naboisho and Olare Motorogi, in Mara North there are 11 camps/lodges, which means that there are some more vehicles on the road but still not many and (again!) not comparable to the Mara National Reserve." See all these reviews: 12n in Kenya

Our guide was excellent and the staff in the camp were very attentive - even bringing early morning hot drinks at 5:30 am before the safari.
Attention to detail and support was fantastic." See all these reviews: 7n in Kenya

"Kicheche Mara review"
All the staff at the camp are extremely friendly and helpful. The manager Andrew, and his team made our stay such a terrific experience. The standard of the meals is excellent, well worthy of top class restaurants, Dickson the chef is a force of nature!!
Guiding as we have come to expect with Kicheche is top class and Twala our guide was no exception. The lions killing a warthog on the first morning was possibly a bit too graphic and noisy at times but that's nature. Lots of cats but unfortunately no leopards but that happens, animals don't come out to order.
Thanks again to Andrew, Ann, Dickson, Maurice and the rest of the team for yet another excellent safari with Kicheche. We wouldn't use anyone else!!" See all these reviews: 8n in Kenya

Andrew was a wealth of information about how the conservation works and the relationship with Masai people… this was an eye opener & was happy to learn from him!
I enjoyed beading with Maasai women" See all these reviews: 13n in Kenya

Some beautiful beaded locally made items and many hand crafted treasures were my enjoyment to see and buy.
Game drives were filled with wildlife and just chilling in the tent or taking a walk with a ranger added to the serenity of this magnificent place." See all these reviews: 12n in Kenya
