My stay at Kicheche was flawless: from prompt responses to my (many) questions prior to booking, to the waiters’s thoughtful command of the dining area, to the guides who were ready in advance every morning and the managers who made everything right.

Blessed, that’s my feeling after 5 spectacular days and nights in this naturally abundant environment with hospitality second to none. Many thanks for giving us a greater understanding/reminder of the interconnectedness of all life.
Glenn - Australia
The best 9 days of the year. Always a pleasure, always leave relaxed, with loads of memories of incredible wildlife and the best managers and staff. See you in January hopefully.
Dan Heap, Ireland
It’s no easy haul getting from Vancouver to the camps, but when you’re greeted with warm hugs it makes all the air miles vanish. There really is a very unique and special atmosphere at your camps – we just feel so at home.
