Game Drives
Early morning and late afternoon are the most productive hours
for game drives and our safari customised 4WD vehicles give everyone
a perfect view. Watching wildlife at close range, but without
encroaching on their space, is endlessly fascinating and our guides'
instincts and experience provide superb photo opportunities of
wild animals.
Our vehicles are superbly designed for photographers, all our
fleet is open-sided with open roofs. Cameras can be rested on
the roof, with supplied beanbags, or on the armrests lower down,
to which we can mount simple platforms for larger lenses. For
complete flexibility it is recommended that you take a vehicle
on an exclusive use basis ($220 per day supplement).
Walking
A different perspective is gained through escorted walks on the
savannah. Safety is paramount when leaving camp on foot so all
walks are escorted by an armed ranger. Our interpretive guides
will point out the spoor of a leopard, the nest of a rare bird
or signs of recent migration activity that would pass unnoticed
by the eyes of strangers...
Village Visits
Guests can visit one of the local Maasai villages to see first
hand their way of life. A village guide or your Kicheche guide
will give you an interprative talk during your visit. There is
sometimes dancing and traditional souvenirs are on sale. There
is a charge of $10 per person.
 School
Visits
Kicheche's Community Project supports two local schools - Olkimitare
Nursery School & Aitong Primary Academy, during term time
it is possible to pay a visit to either school. Any educational
gifts or donations that you can contribute are an enormous help
to these struggling schools. Further details on our Community
Project page.
Daily Schedules
Rigid daily schedules are not on our agenda, there are no hard
and fast rules at Kicheche so guests can decide on the duration
and frequency of their drives. Picnic breakfasts, lunches and
sundowners are popular options to include on game drives. |
