Kitich Forest Camp: picture gallery


Kitich Forest Camp specialises in bush walks through the highland forest.
The camp has six traditional-style safari tents…
…set on concrete plinths, under big awnings…
…with either two single beds or one double.
The tent furnishings are simple…
…but cosy and comfortable…
…with 24-hour lighting and battery charging…
…and snug beds.
Bathroom arrangements are admirably simple, with hot water in jugs…
…safari shower filled to order…
…and regular flush toilets.
The tents are ranged along the western side of camp…
…with a large glade forming the main arrivals area in the middle.
The common areas of the camp consist of this welcoming lounge-cum…
…dining room, where…
…meal menus are posted daily for lunch and dinner…
…and lunch buffets are set out at the side.
Extending out from the lounge is a deck…
…overlooking the Ngeng River…
…where the opposite bank is frequent host to elephants at sunset.
While Kitich has this pickup and a 4x4 game viewing vehicle for game drives and transfers…
…the most popular activity here is bush walks in the mature forest of this remote region.
You'll be escorted by an armed ranger and guided by two Samburu guides…
…Ltausen…
…and Lesamana.
…here checking ahead for elephants.
The forest is home to…
…a marvellous diversity…
…of smaller wildlife…
…including this secretive tree frog.
