Kicheche Mara - Day Kenya CSS Dec 2022.

I had only visited this camp quickly some 10 years ago, so again excited to have the opportunity to stay this time, meet the team, explore this area and get a real feel for the Kicheche experienc me which certainly lived up to expectations.

The company offers various options for guests to stay at in the Masai Mara and Laikipia with a selection of camps offering different experiences of different rustic / bush levels.

We stayed at Kicheche Mara Camp, which is a classic tented camp in a beautiful valley in a prime wildlife area of the Mara North Conservancy. Kicheche Mara Camp is also a ‘The Long Run,’ member. one of the world’s largest sustainable development initiatives led by nature based businesses. The vision of the organization is of a world in which business, nature and people work harmoniously together for a sustainable future.

Kicheche is a wonderful safari focused experience, ideally suited to couples and families but also passionate photographers too. I would have loved to stay longer and see their other camps but how lucky despite super heavy rains to find us a beautiful leopard Mum and son messing around for hours. Brilliant 👏

Nothing says romance quite like a SAFARI. February

Nothing says romance quite like a SAFARI. February is just around the corner and it is the month of love and romance (well and my birthday 😛)

I know one lovely person already planning a very special honeymoon to Kenya later this year but it doesn’t even need to be a honeymoon. It can also just be a very cool trip away getting spoiled rotten by incredible teams on the ground, looking forward to welcoming you in their little bit of paradise…

Who else is planning a special trip?

📷 are all of Zambia and Cottar’s in Kenya and all mine. Ps Katie and Dave - thanks for being such perfect models 🙏

After an incredible CSS Kenya educational trip wit

After an incredible CSS Kenya educational trip with my group, time to say goodbye and enjoy a last couple of days back in the Mara with Sasha from @cottars.safari.services The focus for our last few days was to visit some more of the amazing Long Run properties.

Next up House in the Wild - Kenya CSS trip continued Dec 2022.

“House in the Wild is a private family owned and run lodge, located on the banks of the Mara River, in Naretoi, a 1000-acre private estate, within the Enonkishu Conservancy on the edge of the Maasai Mara”.

“Since 2012, the land surrounding House in the Wild and the Wild Villas, once intensively farmed, has been dedicated to a pioneering re-wilding project. Using grazing animals as the drivers of habitat creation, and with the restoration of dynamic, natural water courses, the project has seen extraordinary increases in wildlife.”

I have been chatting to Lippa for years about visiting and it was so fabulous to finally stay though I can safely say one night is not enough to take in all the amazing things they do here, whilst of course also getting out and exploring the area. What I did take away is that it really is a very special place with a lovely welcoming team of people ready to spoil you rotten. Make sure you go and see their impressive Wild shamba and the tree nursery !!!

House in the Wild offers a variety of rooms to suit families of all sizes and couples alike and a range of activities to keep everyone happy with yummy food to keep the energy levels up and raring to get exploring. I really can’t wait to visit again.

Thank you so much for having us to stay 🙏
