Tripadvisor comments Kicheche Valley Camp
What an amazing experience. A secluded 6 tent safari camp set in an extraordinarily beautiful conservancy in the Mara that is brimming with life. A 43 strong lion pride dominates the conservancy that contains huge herds of buffalo, wildebeast, zebra, giraffe and several leopards.

The Kicheche Valley Camp itself is outstanding. There are only 6 tents and they are well spaced out giving you a lot of privacy and an old school safari feel. We usually had animals outside our tent – zebra, wildebeest, cape buffalo and giraffe. The tents themselves are outstanding and spacious.
