Kicheche Bush Olare is a six-tent camp in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, a private conservancy leased from Maasai landowners on the northern edge of the Maasai Mara reserve. The camp is unfenced and wildlife moves through it. Tents are canvas with en-suite bathrooms, bucket showers, flush toilets, solar lighting and private verandas facing open savannah. Because it sits on conservancy rather than reserve land, off-road driving, night drives and guided walks are permitted, and vehicle numbers at sightings are capped. The camp was formerly marketed as Kicheche Bush Camp.
What sets it apart
Conservancy rules allow off-road driving, night drives and walking that are not permitted inside the national reserve, with strict limits on vehicles per sighting.
Who it suits
Photographers; returning Mara visitors wanting low vehicle density; walking and night drives.

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs of African bush and desert country, chosen to suggest the kind of landscape you find around the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, Kenya. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had been there. For pictures of the rooms, and of the view they actually look out on, see the property's own site.
