Visit Kitich Forest Camp

Tucked beneath a canopy of indigenous forest in Kenya’s remote Mathews Range, Kitich Forest Camp offers a rare safari experience shaped by ancient forest, crystal-clear rivers and guided exploration on foot.

Set beside the clear waters of the Ngeng River, the camp blends classic safari simplicity with deep immersion in nature, creating a peaceful retreat in one of Kenya’s most biologically rich wilderness areas.

The camp features eight canvas tents with private verandas, warm hospitality and guided experiences led by Samburu trackers whose knowledge of the forest has been passed down through generations.  Guests can spend their days exploring mountain trails, swimming in natural rock pools, birdwatching or simply listening to the sounds of the forest from camp.

With a strong commitment to conservation and minimal environmental impact, Kitich Forest Camp is ideal for travellers seeking a slower, more meaningful safari centred on walking, wildlife and connection in one of East Africa’s most remarkable landscapes
