Kicheche Valley Naboisho

Location: Kicheche Valley Camp is set in the stunning Naboisho Conservancy, a private reserve bordering the Masai Mara in southern Kenya. Naboisho is known for its high wildlife density, thriving populations of predators, and its pioneering conservation model that balances wildlife protection with community benefit. The camp sits in a secluded valley shaded by acacia trees, offering sweeping views across rolling savannah and complete immersion in one of Kenya’s most wildlife-rich and well-managed conservancies.

Rooms: The camp has just six luxurious tents, spaced well apart for privacy and beautifully positioned to make the most of the valley views. Each tent is thoughtfully designed with a contemporary safari aesthetic - earthy tones, wooden furnishings, and soft lighting - and features large beds, writing desks, and en-suite bathrooms with flushing toilets and hot showers. Private decks provide the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening sundowners, surrounded by the sounds of the bush. It’s a refined, peaceful retreat in the heart of the wild.

Amenities: Kicheche Valley Camp blends comfort and simplicity with ease. The main lounge and dining tent is open, welcoming, and tastefully decorated, with views over the plains and a relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel at home straight away. Meals are a highlight, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients and creative menus served communally or privately as preferred. The service is warm, personal, and professional - delivered by a close-knit team who take genuine pride in looking after guests.

Activities: The Naboisho Conservancy offers exceptional wildlife viewing, with frequent sightings of lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, and even rare species like caracals and servals. Game drives are led by top-tier guides and can be tailored around your interests, whether that’s photography, birding, or predator tracking. Walking safaris provide a more intimate way to explore the landscape, while night drives reveal the bush’s nocturnal side. Visits to local Maasai communities offer meaningful insight into Kenya’s living culture and the deep-rooted connection between people and place.

Sustainability: Kicheche Valley Camp is a proud contributor to Naboisho’s award-winning conservation model, where tourism directly supports land leases for over 500 Maasai landowners, ensuring both livelihoods and wildlife are protected. The camp operates entirely off-grid, using solar power, eco-friendly waste systems, and responsible sourcing to minimise its footprint. Through the Kicheche Community Trust, the camp also supports education, health, and conservation programmes across the region. Staying here means being part of a conservation success story that’s helping shape the future of sustainable travel in Kenya.
