Kitich Camp Review, In far northern Kenya, Kitich Camp is in the Mathews Mountains, which are very far away and not often explored. It is hidden in a lush grove of fig trees, native flowering shrubs, and Cycad palms that are thought to be very old.

Kitich Camp is on the bank of the seasonal Ngeng River, and it is bordered by steep, wooded hillsides and peaks. The Mathews are made up of pastoralists called Samburu and Soyei. They used to get together in the upper bank of the Ngeng River to eat, sing, and dance.

They called this area Kitich, which means “the place of happiness,” because they knew they could always get water, graze their cattle, and make beer with honey. The Kitich camp is a lush haven in a dry area. Animals hide out in the Ngeng Valley, where they are safe from household animals.

Over 100 kinds of birds can be found here, as well as elephants, lions, leopards, greater Kudu, waterbuck, wild hogs, and buffalo.

Built for the Earth

As much as possible, Kitich Camp has been left as natural as possible without giving up important pleasures. Kitich Camp is a permanent tent camp with six high-end tents, each with its own view and porch. A bush bucket shower is a traditional way to bathe. The water is warming over a cedar deadwood fire close to your tent, and you can get as much as you want.

Safaris on foot

Kitich Camp doesn’t have any game drives because there aren’t any roads there. You can instead go for walks in the woods with a guide who is armed. A number of walks run from being very easy to being very hard. For instance, it’s a forty-minute hike to a forest swimming pool or a twenty-minute walk to a remote fishing hole full of Catfish and Barbel.

Projects for conservation

The Samburu and Soyei people who live in the Mathews Range are pastoralists. They used to get together in the upper valley of the Ngeng River to eat, sing, and dance. Here, they knew they could always get water, graze their horses, and get honey to make beer.

This place was known as “Kitich,” which means “the place of happiness.” Kenya has done a great job of protecting wildlife, and Kitich Camp is one of the best examples of this.

An method from the bottom up that has made things better for people, animals, and the environment. Wild animals hide out in the Ngeng Valley, where they are safe from household animals. One of the many animal species that live here is the bigger Kudus. Other species include waterbucks, giant forest hogs, buffalos, and wild dogs. There are also more than 200 bird species.

The environment is being protected so that future generations of Samburu, animals, and tourists can enjoy it. Through the Conservation Fee that all guests pay when they stay at Kitich, the Samburu have gotten a lot out of having tourist visitors. Because it doesn’t go through the government or a conservation group, the money they get goes straight to the neighborhood.

The money helps the whole community with things like health care, education, and building up the town. But the lucky people who get to come enjoy this one-of-a-kind environment and conservation challenge will gain the most.
