Every guest’s stay and donation directly support projects that empower people and protect wildlife across our conservancies.
We align with The Long Run’s 4Cs – Conservation, Community, Culture, and Commerce – fostering sustainable livelihoods in harmony with nature. Through the Trust, guests actively contribute to meaningful change for both people and wildlife.

A Shared Responsibility

Conservation education integrated into local schools.
Annual conservation art bootcamps in partnership with Kenya Wildlife Trust.
25% of Kicheche Camps’ turnover is dedicated to wildlife conservation and habitat management.
Our camps are independently audited every two years by Ecotourism Kenya, ensuring our operations meet the highest standards of sustainable tourism.
Our camps operate in low-density areas – only one bed per 350 acres – ensuring minimal environmental disturbance.
The Kicheche Community Trust works alongside communities to protect habitats, foster coexistence, and build awareness of Kenya’s unique ecosystems. Programs also include wildlife clubs in schools and the popular Kids on Safari, where children experience wildlife first-hand.
