About Kicheche Mara North

Kicheche Mara North is a tented camp overlooking a wildlife corridor in Mara North Conservancy. Nine standard tents and a two-bedroom family suite combine guiding-focused safaris with an intimate camp atmosphere, flexible family arrangements and a choice of cultural and walking experiences.

Set above a stream in an acacia valley, the camp looks towards the western escarpment and a corridor used by birds and plains game. Mara North’s community-owned conservancy setting provides the context for both the wildlife and Kicheche’s local partnerships. A lounge and library give a place to settle between outings, while a separate private lounge can be used for dining or working on photographs. A spa tent provides treatments between safari activities.

01

Accommodation

Rooms

Accommodation consists of nine standard tents and one family suite. En-suite bathrooms have hot and cold showers, flushing toilets and washbasins; tents also have fans, charging points and Wi-Fi. The family suite comprises two separate en-suite bedrooms joined by a lounge, sleeping up to five. Quad arrangements for four are another family option with a shared bathroom. The appropriate layout depends on whether you value extra space, separate bedrooms or keeping younger children close.

02

Food & drink

Dining

Meals can be enjoyed in the dining tent or outside beneath the trees, with picnics and sundowners extending the safari day. A private lounge and the family suite’s sitting area allow a more personal dining arrangement on request. Full-board stays include meals and drinks under the booked terms; dietary requirements should be shared before arrival.

03

What to do

Activities

Guided drives and bush walks explore the conservancy, while beading with Maasai women and community visits provide a different perspective on the place. Children can learn tracking and practical bush skills with the guiding team. Wild camping, ballooning and a visit to the Mara Elephant Project add further options when arranged in advance. Reserve entry and these specialist outings have their own terms, rather than being assumed to form part of every stay.

Planning your stay

The details that make a difference.

Travelling together

The family suite sleeps up to five in two en-suite bedrooms and includes a private vehicle. Quad tents provide a shared-room alternative for four. Children’s activities include tracking, beading and bush skills, with the programme adapted to age and supervision needs.

What sets it apart

Kicheche combines a strong guiding focus with unusually useful family choices. The suite’s separate bedrooms and private vehicle make a practical difference, while Mara North’s community partnerships bring context to the wildlife experience.

Before you book

The camp is around a 30-minute drive from Mara North Airstrip. Shared drives are standard for ordinary tent bookings; private vehicles are a separate choice outside the family-suite arrangement. Annual closure dates and reserve-entry plans matter when building the final itinerary.

A stay shaped around you.

This is a useful choice for a conservancy safari with room to tailor the pace. We would compare the family suite and quad options first, then decide how many private outings you want. Laikipia can add conservation and different landscapes before a Mara North stay and a coastal finish.
