Kitich Forest Camp, Ngilai
Kitich Forest Camp is in a truly remote and pristine wilderness, located in an exquisite forest glade on the upper slopes of the Mathews Mountains (also known as the Lenkiyio Hills). The Mathews, referred to as a "biological bonanza" and sky island, is a massive range that rises up from the desert floor to over 6,000 feet.
Kitich is a beautiful, enchanting camp with only six tents situated under a dense tree canopy and overlooking the stunning Ngeng River. The camp is low-key and classic, with charming en-suite bush bathrooms, bucket showers, and flush toilets.
At night, the atmosphere is magical, and the glade is lit; look out for elephant, bushbuck, and buffalo as they come a drink by the river.
Experience & Activities
Kitich is a fabulous and convenient base for exploring the Northern Frontiers, The Mathews Mountains, The Ndoto Mountains, the Milgis, and Lake Turkana. Spend your days exploring this wild region on foot as you embark on fascinating bush walks, guided by Samburu warriors who are truly passionate about this area that is their home and heritage. Perfect for adventurers, hikers, and fly-camping lovers!
Building on this, they also have a train of camels and a small herd of donkeys that enable you to fly camp and hike further afield where no vehicle can go - this is the true definition of "off the beaten track."
