March

The feel at this tented bush camp is just right. Manager Louise and all her staff have got everything spot on.

Lions kill ten meters from tent. Nature in the raw …. and in black and white. Steve took breakfast in his tent that morning. Wisely.

When so-called V.I.B.’s (very important beasts) parade over their allies back yard they can expect a certain amount of fawning, and a length of red carpet to be rolled out but they cannot expect every host to ignore past savagery

"Our stay at Kicheche Valley camp has been one of our most memorable experiences in Africa"

It is seldom, if ever, that one couple earns a Spot double bill. Some may say indulgent or selfish at best. We beg to differ. Steve and Judith have given a very good indication of their skills last week but had, like a parent keeping the best present back till Boxing day, they had been cynically withholding the real prize.

Steve and Judith are no strangers to Kicheche. They are also clearly no strangers to their cameras either.

Nancie Wight doesn’t do things by half. Dipping her toes in one Conservancy was clearly not enough for her so she put her not inconsiderable camera skills to work across the trinity of Kicheche Mara Conservancies on her recent safari.

Every details catered for – the game drives were varied and accommodation and food superb!

Imagine explaining to your boss that you were late for work because you had broken down in the middle of a lion pride and you felt getting out would be unwise.
