100% pure silver

Every one of our safari guides holds a Silver level certification from the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association, quite an achievement when just 5% of the guides in Kenya can boast this accolade. From family groups, safari enthusiasts to professional photographers, it is their depth of knowledge that keeps clients coming back to Kicheche year after year.

Giving them wings

We know that many of our clients are fascinated with bird life and bird watching, so every year we enrol one of our Kicheche guides on a Fundamentals of Ornithology training course for professional guides. This in depth, residential course on the shores of Lake Naivasha equips our guides with a firm grounding in bird identification, migration patterns and bird biology.

Fostering local talent

Kicheche currently employs no less than eleven graduates from the Koiyaki Guiding School in the Masai Mara and also provides full sponsorship for at least one student every year.

The Tribes blog brings you regular articles written by our specialists, travellers or partners and conservationists in our destinations. We have a big collection of articles now, so have a mooch to find some interesting short reads.

Best place to see Hippos in Zambia

Kaingo Camp is the best place to see Hippos in Zambia Now, you may find a trip with the hope of seeing hippos to be quite strange since they’re not normally the most sought after animals when you think of a safari.

What is a mokoro?

I didn’t know either! So, when on my recent trip to Botswana my guide suggested it, I thought I'd better give it a go! When most people are going on safari in Botswana, they think of the traditional 4x4 jeep game drives and boat cruises as a way of seeing the country and wildlife, but if you want to get an authentic and alternative experience on safari, then I would highly recommend a mokoro boat trip on the Okavango Delta.
