Accommodation
The camp holds six spacious, fully insect-proof custom designed tents, equipped with twin or double beds, linen, bedside tables, luggage racks and rugs. Bathrooms are en-suite and are equipped with a dresser, flushing toilet and a traditional safari bucket shower with a view. There are comfortable chairs on each veranda overlooking the plains. One tent can be converted into a triple on request. Each tent has its own 24 hour solar lighting system. A radio call is fitted in each tent for security.
A large open sided dining tent overlooking the plains also hosts a relaxing lounge area with a selection of reference books curio shop selling mostly the work of local Maasai staff members.
All meals and drinks are inclusive and most meals are taken alfresco, beneath the shade of the acacia trees or underneath the stars or in our dining tent. We have a fully stocked bar with a range of wines. Drinks are included with the meals. Picnic breakfasts and lunches are also available on game driving excursions. Dinner is served by candle light either under the stars or in the dining tent. End the evening with a nightcap by the fire before retiring of to bed.
Activities
Guests are woken up with tea, coffee or hot chocolate and homemade biscuits brought to their tent. An early morning game drive sets off at sunrise and returns to camp late morning. Breakfast is a leisurely affair usually taken outside around the lounge area or as a picnic on the game drive. After lunch, set under the acacias, you can relax under the shade of your veranda and enjoy the silence, only punctuated by birdcalls. Alternatively, you can relax in the lounge area. An afternoon game drive departs after tea, i.e. around 4 pm and returns as darkness falls after enjoying sundowners on the plains. Freshen up and then join the other guests around the camp fire for pre-dinner drinks.
Kicheche Bush Camp is accessible by daily scheduled one hour flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to Mara OL-Kiombo airstrip which is approximately a 30 minute game drive from camp.

This large area borders the Maasai Mara National Reserve and is home to an abundance of animals including the Mara’s renowned Big Cats. There is unsurpassed game-viewing within the conservancy due to its unspoiled natural state and the Porini Lion Camp – with just nine tents and two family units – ensures guests have a genuine “away from it all” experience deep in the African bush.
The family units at Porini Lion Camp are made of high quality canvas, spacious, measuring 144 square metres. Each unit consists of two rooms with a lounge in between. Each of the two rooms has a king size bed and a single bed, The high-quality, spacious tents are tastefully furnished and have solar-powered lighting, ensuite facilities (with hot shower and flush toilet) and private verandas. The units are ideal for families or group of friends traveling together and are at the same price per person as our other tents. The camp welcomes children aged 8 years and over (see Prices Information for more details).
Limited laundry is available at no charge. Laundry is done by hand and dried outdoors, therefore turnaround time is dependent on the weather. Out of respect to local culture and customs, we do not wash underwear. Washing powder is provided in all of our guest rooms should guests wish to wash their own.

Game safari drives (shared) are in specially-designed off-road (4×4) safari vehicles with expert / qualified safari guides to ensure the best possible game-viewing. Guests particularly enjoy the safari drives within the Conservancy where they experience the African wilderness without being surrounded by other tourist vehicles.
