Kichwa is one of andBeyond’s many African camps, the realisation of their vision to pioneer a new way of travelling. No two travellers are the same and they’ve worked for over 30 years to deliver exceptional experiences for them all. Since their foundation in 1991, andBeyond has been tirelessly committed to leaving the world a better place, caring for the people, wildlife and land they encounter in their ventures of sustainable tourism.
The true highlight of Kichwa is its location. No matter when you visit you’ll be surrounding by bountiful wildlife and gorgeous scenery, however the camp is in an ideal spot to witness the Great Migration. Every year, starting around July, over a million wildebeest and zebra will cross over from the Serengeti plains in Tanzania and up into Kenya, where they’ll linger until early October.
Dates are flexible so please make an enquiry and tell us a range of dates you are considering so we can check availability.
Recommended Activities
If you wish to take a break from games drives, you can experience something new and exciting by taking a hot air balloon safari. During your tranquil journey gliding through the skies, take a moment to soak in all the magical views of the scenery and landscapes below. It’s also the perfect opportunity to experience a different side of the reserve, with a bird’s eye view of all the different wildlife residents.
Explore the reserve by participating in a refreshing nature walk, with your very own highly qualified and incredibly knowledgeable guides. Take the time to connect with nature and learn all about the wilderness, as you trek along the reserve and into the forests. You will get the opportunity to learn about the different plants, and how each one has its own unique purposes.
