Kitich camp Kenya

The camp is located in the remote Mathews Mountains and is a rarely visited area in far northern Kenya. It is nestled in a verdant grove of fig trees, indigenous flowering shrubs and prehistoric Cycad palms.

Kitich Camp Kenya faces a bank of the seasonal Ngenng River and is surrounded by thickly wooded hill sides and craggy peaks, north of Samburu. The local people of the Mathews are the pastoral Samburu and Soyei tribes, who are used to gathering in the upper valley of the Ngenng River for occasional feasting, singing and dancing.

On this valley they are always assured of water and grazing for their cattle, and honey for making beer, they called it Kitich 'the place of happiness.' Kitich camp is a lush oasis amid arid surroundings. Wildlife finds refuge in the Ngenng Valley, away from the competition of domestic animals. Elephant, Lion, Leopard, greater Kudu, Waterbuck, forest Hog and Buffalo are among the species found here, together with over 100 species of birds.

Everything about Kitich Camp has been left as natural as possible without sacrificing important creature comforts. Kitich Camp is a permanent tented camp of six luxury tents, each featuring its own veranda and view. Bathing is a traditional safari bucket shower.

Kitich camp Kenya is a place for those wishing to be away in a very natural setting, and enjoy the cultures. Because of the absence of roads, there are no game drives at Kitich Camp. Instead you can enjoy walks in the forest in the company of an armed ranger. Several walks range from the very gentle to the vigorous hikers on these natural section of Samburu northern frontier.

You can take a forty minute hike to a natural swimming pool in the forest, or an easy twenty minute stroll to an isolated fishing whole full of Catfish and Barbell.
