I travel to every safari country in Africa every year and Kicheche Bush Camp is on top of the pile.

Greg Du Toit, Photographer – South Africa

the camp

The perfect hideaway in the outstanding wilderness of Olare Motorogi Conservancy. Kicheche Bush camp has attracted scores of professional photographers who trust the Kicheche approach to a day on safari. This has created an exciting environment where any amateur photographer can raise their game and capture the sorts of images that inspired them in the first place.

Olare Motorogi Conservancy

Kicheche Bush Camp is located in a superb wildlife area in Olare Motorogi Conservancy bordering the Masai Mara Reserve. The game viewing is first class and the exclusivity of the Conservancy ensures a high quality African safari and Kenya holiday experience with low density tourism.

Game drives start right from the camp itself and it is the ideal location to witness the annual wildebeest migration.

Activities

community

Visit the MAA TRUST in Olare Motorogi Conservancy, a great project our Kicheche Community Trust supports with focus on women empowerment and education. Only 10 minutes from camp, visiting the Maa Trust is a wonderful opportunity for guests to interact with Maasai women, watch and learn about their bead-work and learn more about The Trust’s efforts towards wildlife conservation through sustainable community development.

Our Guides

All guides are well experienced working with photographers and select optimal positions at sightings taking lighting and animal behavior into account.

We are excited to introduce our newly modified photography vehicle providing photographers an extra lower edge in order to enable them to capture their award winning shots. One side of the vehicle drops down, allowing photographers to lie flat and capture eye-level images in comfort, with soft padded flooring, lens platforms and bean bags all provided. The vehicle is suitable for a maximum of 3 people and must be booked on an exclusive use basis.

Quite simply the best thing we have ever done! Thank you so much for an unforgettable stay. A beautiful camp, exactly what it should be. You never lose the sense that you are in the bush but so comfortable, and stylish. The attention to minimising waste and eco-friendliness. Delicious food, such kind and welcoming service from the staff
