Overview

The property

Kicheche Laikipia is an intimate luxury safari camp set within Ol Pejeta Conservancy, beneath the slopes of Mount Kenya. With just six elegant canvas tents overlooking a wildlife-rich waterhole, the camp offers an exclusive wilderness experience centred on conservation, exceptional wildlife viewing and personalised service. The camp's small scale, indigenous woodland setting and proximity to Ol Pejeta's rhino conservation programmes make it an outstanding base for exploring Laikipia.

Kicheche Laikipia Camp trades scale for atmosphere — a garden-and-terrace lodge on the Laikipia plateau, built around an outdoor fireplace that becomes the natural gathering point once the day’s drives are done. Rooms keep things simple but comfortable: private bathrooms, lake views from several units, and bathrobes and free toiletries as standard, with family rooms available for parents travelling with children.

Its position bordering Ol Pejeta Conservancy puts serious wildlife within a short game drive, while Solio Game Reserve is an easy day trip for guests wanting a change of scenery. Themed dinner nights and a genuinely child-friendly buffet set it apart from stiffer luxury camps, and in-room breakfast is available for anyone who’d rather not rush a morning. It’s a camp built for slow evenings as much as fast game drives.
