How this holiday makes a difference
We are running this special departure of the Classic Kenya Safari. The focus of this trip is wildlife with an emphasis on photography. While our aim is to get the perfect photo our guides will always maintain an appropiate distance from the game, allowing the animal a suitable escape distance.
There is of course always a temptation to get closer so we recommend you take the most powerful lens for your camera you can get your hands on. Highlights of this trip include the opportunity to photograph endangered rhino at Nakuru and the prospect of staying at Kicheche Mara camp. Our bush hideaway in Kenya welcomes you to a different world, a world centred at the heart of the African wilderness that is the Masai Mara.
Local guides - as well as all of the general staff are local Masai, we use local guides on game drives, who on this trip will be guiding in conjunction with the leader. Waste management practices - all non-biodegradable waste is removed from the region to a suitable collection point in Nairobi Other environmentally sound practices of note - recycled charcoal dust pellets are brought in from Nairobi for water heating. Water is always a precious commodity in the Mara; our supplies are brought by road from the Aitong well. 24 hour power for lighting through our solar invertor system. Video batteries can also be charged on this system. Solar power and gas are used to run our refrigeration units. Local shops and manyattas are visited where a variety of locally hand crafted goods can be bought - the families of the staff at Kicheche also produce jewellery and other handicrafts which can be bought at the camp. Kicheche is also a member of ESOK (Ecotourism Society of Kenya). Nakuru Natioanl Park is one of the best run parks in E.Africa - the money generated from tourism goes directly towards providing a sanctuary for the endangered rhino...
