Really enjoyable visit to the Kicheche Bush Camp. The staff was very friendly and the environment was very hospitable. Game drives absolutely spot on with excellent ability to be in the right place at the right time to get the most out of it.

We stayed at the Kicheche Laikipia camp for two nights and loved it. The entire staff was welcoming and helpful. Sonya and Andy, the camp hosts, are wonderful. They made our stay memorable. We went out on several game drives and our two guides, Andrew and Peter, made sure we saw everything there was to see. The drive was not... More

I know I have said this before, but Kicheche Bush Camp is simply perfect. And that is thanks to Darren, Emma, Bing and all the staff at KBC. Darren and Emma are excellent hosts and manage the camp admirably. The happy and willing staff are a testament to good management but also indicate the quality of staff working at Kicheche... More

Thank you so much Darren, Emma and the team for another amazing stay. Kicheche Bush Camp is in a great location where you can easily get into the reserve, but it has the advantage of being in a conservancy where great sightings are highly likely and right on your doorstep. This is helped by having a great team of guides... More

We have stayed in some very luxurious tents but Kicheche definitely came out on top. The tent was amazing, we know that in a tent we are lucky to have lights, in Kicheche the lights have shades!! The bucket shower was perfect and always plenty of water for 2 of us. The camp is on a conservancy it is part... More

From the moment you arrive in camp, the welcome and service you receive from Emma, Darren and their staff sets the stall out for an unforgettably great experience. Our guide Nelson had so much knowledge which he managed to pass on to us throughout our trip. Cannot wait to visit again!!

I loved Kicheche Bush Camp. Darren & Emma are lovely hosts, I really felt that I was their guest. The tents at KBC are enormous by tented camp standards. They are really beautifully decorated, with a light, airy, slightly modern feel. The natural palette of whites and creams and woods was very warm and inviting. The sunken shower ("bucket" shower)...

Kicheche camps are not cheap (necessarily because of the limit on numbers in the Conservancy) but the standard of comfort, food, service and skilled guiding are of the very highest level. Our tent was very luxurious and we were pampered by our tent steward, food was very good and sufficient and charmingly served; guiding was extremely good and very attentive.... More

I should start this review by stating that Kicheche Bush Camp is not another "luxury" game resort complete with crystal chandeliers, gourmet meals and the finest wines - it is much better than that. It consists of 6 very high quality tents with extremely comfortable beds and all the amenities you could need and is located in the Olare Orok... More
