Kicheche Mara Camp

Mara North Conservancy, Masai Mara ecosystem, Kenya

A small, guide-led camp inside Mara North Conservancy, part of the Kicheche collection built on genuinely personal safaris.

Overview

Kicheche Mara Camp sits beside the Olare Orok stream inside Mara North Conservancy, one of the founding properties of the small, guide-focused Kicheche collection, built deliberately small to keep the safari experience personal rather than programmatic.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

A small number of spacious tents set along the stream, each with an outdoor shower and private veranda, finished simply and comfortably.

Food & Service

Home-style meals taken together at a communal table, with the camp’s small scale keeping guiding staff and guests in genuine conversation throughout the stay.

Activities

Game drives across Mara North’s conservancy grassland, walking safaris, and, in season, front-row access to migration river crossings nearby.

Wildlife & Photography

Mara North holds a healthy resident lion and leopard population year-round, supplemented during the July-October migration by huge numbers of wildebeest and zebra moving through the conservancy.

A Photographer's Note

Mara North’s conservancy status limits vehicle numbers at any sighting, making it one of the more reliable places in the wider Mara ecosystem for uncrowded predator photography.

Conservation & Impact

Kicheche’s long-standing conservancy partnership supports Mara North’s land-lease payments to Maasai landowners, directly linking the camp’s operation to the conservancy’s continued existence.
