This classic ‘Conservancy Safari’ visits two diverse eco-systems in the hands of expert guides and your home will be two luxurious bush camps. Ol Pejeta Conservancy is located in central Kenya and offers 90,000 acres of blissfully uncrowded wilderness to enjoy quality game viewing. The Conservancy is home to Kenya’s largest population of Black Rhino, large numbers of elephant, cheetah, lion, leopard and plentiful plains game. Ol Pejeta lies on the equator 30 minutes drive from Nanyuki airstrip and has wonderful views of Mt Kenya. The safari then flies down the Rift Valley and into the Masai Mara to Kicheche Bush Camp in the Olare Orok Conservancy. There will be game drives in custom built vehicles and also the exciting opportunity to do walking safaris. The safari ends with a flight to Nairobi in the morning or afternoon of the last day.

The Camps & Locations :

Kicheche Bush Camp / Masai Mara : A Small, classic, intimate, luxury tented camp completely unfenced, accommodating a maximum of twelve guests. Kicheche offers a certain ‘quality’ of wilderness living, but it is a canvas bush camp and the natural sounds of the bush are all part of the experience. The tents are spacious, fully insect proof and all with en-suite private bathrooms and flushing toilets. Kicheche has a big plot here so all tents are at least 40 metres apart. The camp hosts and our outstanding team of guides, including two Silver level guides; Patrick and Charles, will ensure you have a wonderful experience in this outstanding Conservancy.

Olare Orok Conservancy – Masai Mara, The first private Conservancy in the Masai Mara eco-system. The Conservancy not only offers outstanding wildlife viewing it also offers an uncrowded wilderness. There are 30,000 acres of rolling grassland, hills, escarpment and the Motorogie plains located immediately to the north of the Ol Kiombo area of the Reserve. Within Olare Orok there is great walking country and also the opportunity to overnight in a fly camp. The Conservancy is a ground breaking venture between the local Masai landowners and several small eco-camps including Kicheche Bush Camp.

Kicheche Laikipia Camp
The camp consists of six luxurious tents nestled at the foot of indigenous forest overlooking a waterhole in the centre of the Conservancy. The Camp is hosted by Andy and Sonja Webb, a very experienced management couple, ensuring you have a wonderful stay at our bush hideaway. Andy is a great guide and birder. Sonja is not only an outstanding cook but also a wonderful host, many people have enjoyed their legendary hospitality in the Mara and we are delighted to have them at the helm. They or Andrew Odhiambo, the head guide and assistant manager, will co-ordinate your activities during your stay.
The Ol Pejeta Conservancy
There is a huge amount of game on this 90,000 acre Conservancy including Kenya’s largest population of black rhino, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, lions, cheetah and more. There are few vehicles on the Conservancy therefore game viewing is a very private and rewarding experience.
On the Conservancy there is also an opportunity to take Night Game Drives which focus on species not seen on regular day drives. Interpretative
Game Walks are another activity permitted on the conservancy, these provide ideal opportunities to learn about the building blocks of the eco-system whilst providing some exercise. There is also a Lion Tracking program which monitors the lions of the area (some have been collared with receivers) As part of the program we are able to track the lions with a portable satellite dish and remit the data to the study centre. Other attractions include the Chimpanzee Sanctuary for orphaned chimps. The Sanctuary is an excellent venue to observe the two families and learn about the perils facing chimpanzees in the wild.
