Overview
About Kicheche Valley Naboisho
Kicheche Valley Naboisho has six elevated tents on a wooded hillside in Naboisho Conservancy, within the Greater Mara. Five standard tents and a two-bedroom family suite keep the camp small, with en-suite bathrooms, in-room Wi-Fi and a shared lounge looking across the valley. Game drives by day and night and guided bush walks are included alongside meals, drinks and laundry. Children aged seven and over are welcome. The family suite has a connecting lounge, while the communal dining tent brings guests together between outings. Conservancy fees are charged separately.
“Six tents keep the camp personal, while included night drives and bush walks add variety beyond daytime game viewing. The two-bedroom suite is a practical choice for families with children aged seven and over.”
