The Detail
Kitich Forest Camp is nestled in a truly remote and pristine wilderness, located in an exquisite forest glade on the upper slopes of the Mathews Mountains (also known as the Lenkiyio Hills). The Mathews, referred to as a "biological bonanza" and a sky island, is a massive range that rises up from the desert floor to over 6,000 feet.
This beautiful and enchanting camp features only six tents situated under a dense tree canopy, overlooking the stunning Ngeng River. The camp boasts a low-key, classic charm with en suite bush bathrooms, bucket showers, and flush toilets.
You can revel in exceptional experiences such as bush picnics, swimming in hidden rock pools, or witnessing Samburu culture. For the adventurous, you can try quad biking through luggas and across the Samburu landscape, visiting the local village or the vibrant market day at Ngelai.
At night, the atmosphere becomes magical as the glade is illuminated. Keep an eye out for elephants, bushbucks, and buffaloes as they come to drink at the river.
