Overview
About Kicheche Mara North
Kicheche Mara North is an intimate tented camp set in the heart of the Mara North Conservancy, perched above a stream with views over a wildlife-rich corridor teeming with birdlife and plains game. Expert Maasai guides lead game drives and other activities across one of Kenya's most celebrated private conservancies. The camp offers nine standard tents and a dedicated family suite comprising two ensuite bedrooms connected by a private lounge, all situated in an unfenced wilderness overlooking the Olare Orok stream and western escarpment.
“Intimate tented camp in wildlife-rich Mara North Conservancy with expert Maasai guides; suits those prioritising authentic, small-group safari experiences.”
