Hiking | Walking | Fly-camping

Kitich is perfect for guests to unwind and recharge while enjoying the true wilderness of Northern Kenya, the forest and the Mathews range. Imagine waking up to a cacophony of bird song, unforgettable views across the valley frequented by elephants, indulging in farm-to-table delicious food, relaxing in a hammock, strolling through the organic gardens, hiking through the forest, fly camping, exploring the Milgis Lugga by camel, slurping sundowners on the Murit Pass, swimming in a waterfall, cycling through the valleys, joining a yoga flow, or cozying up with a book. There is something for everyone...

From the dry, yellow savannah that epitomises northern Kenya’s expansive plains rises 900 square kilometres of lush mountain forest like no other in East Africa.

This is a place where elephants forge trails amongst ancient hardwood trees and endemic cycads, where crystal clear streams form natural swimming pools, and where rare and endangered monkeys thrive under the protection of local Samburu communities.

Nestled in one of the valleys – overlooking a river frequented by African painted dogs, colourful birds, leopards and elephants - are six tents. Kitich Forest Camp offers traditional safari charm in a wilderness quite unlike any other in Africa, and delivers an experience as equally unforgettable for those discovering Africa for the first time, as it does for those lucky enough to have spent many years exploring it.
