A stunning 6-day combination safari including an overnight walking safari with fly camping while staying at Kicheche Safari camps in the Mara conservancies. This private safari is led by one of Kicheche’s Silver KPSGA guides and offers an outstanding opportunity to see the Masai Mara from all perspectives with extended game drives with countless wildlife photographic opportunities, night drives, and a walking safari to explore the smaller aspects of the savannah life – birds, grasses, and insects.
Depart Nairobi on the scheduled morning or afternoon flight to the Masai Mara. Touch down in this magnificent wilderness, and your guide will be there to greet you before setting out across the plains where you will have your first wildlife sighting en route to the camp. After lunch. Relax and absorb the surroundings before setting off on an afternoon game drive in the conservancy till sunset. Return to camp at dusk for hot showers, then an aperitif by the fireside with your hosts before settling down for dinner—overnight Kicheche Valley.
An early start to the day with piping hot coffee or tea brought to your tent. Your guide will take you on a morning game drive to explore the savannah and see what nature has to offer. This afternoon take another evening game drive before getting back to camp for dinner. Night game drives are also available and can be taken before or after dinner.
Overnight Kicheche Valley.
Take an early breakfast before checking out of camp and commencing your guided walk. Their route heads west from Kicheche Valley and will take 4 to 5 hours before arriving at the fly camp in Naboisho Conservancy adjacent to a stream. There we enjoy a delectable bush lunch and have some recovery time in the shade. In the afternoon, we will explore the beautiful surrounding area on foot. There is also an opportunity to visit a Masai boma outside the conservancy and to witness cattle being brought back from the plains to their barricaded home for the night. Back to the fly camp for dinner and overnight.
You are awoken at dawn with a hot drink before continuing the journey on foot in the cool morning. Your guide will continue to uncover points of interest on the journey along the escarpment and Seketa Valley of Olare Motorogi Conservancy to reach Bush Camp just before lunch. You will then take an afternoon game drive in the conservancy.
Overnight Kicheche Bush Camp.
Rise early with tea or coffee brought to your tent. Enjoy a morning game drive in the Conservancy. You will see differing terrain along with plenty of animal and bird species. Your afternoon game drive will be followed by sundowner drinks overlooking the plains before returning to camp at dusk.
Overnight Kicheche Bush Camp.
After breakfast in camp, transfer to the airstrip for your flight to Nairobi (11.00-12.15)
The walking will not be strenuous, and there will be many intervals at various points of interest. The distance covered daily will be approximately 10km, taking around 6 hours.
KICHECHE VALLEY Our newest and most luxurious camp is nestled in a secluded valley with a host of resident wildlife on your doorstep. The Naibosho Conservancy is flourishing with a fantastic array of wildlife on offer and opens up a whole new area of the Mara to explore while game driving or walking.
KICHECHE BUSH CAMP is located in a prime wildlife area in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, the camp is unfenced, and the animals are free to roam through camp. It's in a great place to see the wildebeest migration, and the camp itself gives you a real feeling of being in the wilderness. Yet, it is very comfortable, with professional and genuinely friendly service.

We wanted to do safari with my wife in Kenya. Diwaka Safaris organized our trip for 17 days professionally. We were very satisfied with all services. The best part was our guide Patrick Waweru who did an excellent job.
