About Kicheche Bush Camp

Kicheche Bush Camp is a small tented camp found in one of Africa's most lion-rich ecosystems. Authentic yet and luxurious, and equipped with top quality guides and delicious food, there's a lot to like about this camp.

Nestled amidst the thorny acacia trees lies the central hub, featuring a main dining and lounge tent that exudes comfort and subtle style. A spacious square table awaits everyone for meals, surrounded by beautiful kelim carpets that provide a plush feel underfoot. Outside, a fire pit encircled by canvas directors' chairs and adorned with a captivating assortment of skulls and bones offers the ideal setting to witness the night unfold, with crackling flames and the starry sky as your canopy.

We recommend Kicheche Bush Camp selectively according to season, routing, room availability and the experience offered by the other stops in your itinerary.
