"Kicheche Walking Wilderness review"
We were a little unlucky with the weather. We walked about 10km on easy terrain with our guide Charles and an armed ranger. Heavy rain then came down and Johnson in a support vehicle came charging up to us to drive us the final 3km to the camp. During the walk we looked at tracks, bones, bird eggs, plants with Charles. At a distance we saw numerous plains game, buffalo and hyena.
The camp consisted of a two person dome tent with two cot beds, a covered area for eating in due to the bad weather, a toilet tent with a short drop toilet and a bucket shower tent. Due to a massive storm that came through we couldn't sit by the fire which was a shame but were still served a three course dinner. On arrival there was prosecco waiting for us (as honeymooners) and Johnson spoke at length with us about the conservancy, Masaai culture etc which was very interesting to hear. We got a good nights sleep in the very comfortable bedding listening to the storm hammer down outside. It was made clear to us that we could return to the Bush Camp at any time if the weather was too much for us.
After a 6.30am wake up we had cold breakfast watching giraffe in the distance before walking back to Kicheche Bush camp.
As keen walkers we were keen to do some walking on this holiday and I would recommend it. It is different to walking in the likes of Zimbabwe where there is a focus on walking close to big game. On this walk close proximity to big game is avoided and the focus is more on the little things. The terrain was boggy in places from the rain but easily passable and anyone who has walked at all in the likes of Dartmoor or the Lake District will find it no challenge at all. The pace is gentle.
We enjoyed it hugely and it made a nice change from game drives with an opportunity to stretch our legs a little." See all these reviews: 7n in Kenya

It rained so hard the night before the camp managers felt it would be too difficult in the mud. Plus it appeared it would rain more.
We agreed with them and stayed at Kicheche Bush camp that day." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania; 10n in Rwanda; 8n in Kenya

While walking, we were able to see things that we wouldn't have been able to from the safari vehicle.
Additionally, it was really fun to sit around the campfire with our guide that night." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar; 5n in Kenya
"The trek and Fly camp are highly recommended"
Peter the armed ranger is good company as is Bernard my guide and Johnson who supervises everything at Fly camp with pride and attention to detail. Fly camp has moved to a slightly different location from last year but it is just as magical.
The level of comfort is inevitably slightly more limited but not the food, A great night out in the truest possible sense!" See all these reviews: 12n in Kenya
