They have made Kicheche Bush their own. Kenya is their home and Bush Camp their back yard. They have been with us approaching ten years and have a loyal following not bettered anywhere in Kenya. Nothing is from the text book with these two which is what makes them such superb company. They are both marvellous company, comedians and raconteurs in their own right and passionately proprietary about their Conservancy.

Efficient and approachable Louise runs Kicheche Laikipia with panache and elan especially around the meal table where she is Queen bee.

Some call him Mr President, perhaps the Oracle would be better as this incredibly eloquent, intelligent and interesting guide now heads up Kicheche’s stronghold in the North with poise, precision and panache.

Above and below the stairs these two individuals are not only efficient & friendly but also very keen to ensure Kicheche Mara is the finest address in Mara North Conservancy.

It is surely impossible that someone so petite can belie their appearance with the heart of a lion, the work ethic of a Trojan and the charm of a courtesan. This is one special lady and one of Kicheche favourite daughters, running Kicheche Valley.

This charismatic Irishman is part bush, part bohemian and part blarney. He has guided for years here in somewhere close to being his spiritual home and has made a superb impression at Kicheche Valley.

Based at Kicheche Mara, will inspire guests with the work we do to empower communities for a better tomorrow.

She brings a huge amount of experience to Kicheche and has run operations for many safari outfits in her past. She is smart, intelligent and astute and adds Gallic flair to an already competent office.

The boss who started Kicheche over 18 years ago with his friend Paul. Greg is a Silver qualified guide as well as having 25+ years of travel experience. He is chairman of Olare Motorogi Conservancy and a big figure in the safari business in Kenya. Not bad for a skinny, pale boy from New Zealand.

Greg’s Yin to his yang, Paul is a guide with a huge following, a photographer of international renown and has worked in tour operating for 35 years. He is according to the Sunday Times ‘preposterously vivacious, a man of psychotic gusto’. Greg and Paul somehow still get on and it is not just about supporting the same football side.

There are foot soldiers and there are officers, somehow this diligent colossus manages to be both of them managing with a light touch. ‘Milcah is my go-to person and I will happily steal her off you’ is a recent comment, enough said.

Donna Goldstein has been with Kicheche since inception and has looked after much of our Online Marketing and all of our fertile social media channels. She has also run camps with Paul in the Mara and is very popular with staff – ‘Mama Safari’ being their affectionate name.

Cheerful and thorough, a ray of light in the Nairobi office.

Long serving staff member who prides himself on his meticulous work.

By the time her guests pack their bags for their Kicheche safari, they are friends.
