Kitich
Camp
Kitich Camp, owned and run by
Gulio Bertolli, is hidden in the
hills on the banks of the Ngeng
River and nestled in a lush grove
of fig trees, indigenous flowering
shrubs and prehistoric palms in
the remote Mathews mountains.
Kitich means "Place of happiness"
a lush oasis amid arid surroundings
and everything about Kitich camp
has been left natural as possible
without sacrificing any important
creature comforts. As there are
no roads, activities around the
camp generally involve walking.
Guests can walk to a natural swimming
pool or stroll to an isolated
fishing hole full of Catfish and
Barbel in the company of an armed
ranger. The surrounding forest
is interesting for those who appreciate
flora and fauna and the Ngeng
valley is a refuge for elephants,
lions, leopards, forest hogs and
buffalos. Accommodation is offered
in six tents which look out over
the seasonal Ngeng River and wetland
where buffalo and elephant forage
at night. True to the traditional
approach to safari, Kitich still
uses long-drop toilets, bucket
showers and kerosene lighting.

Sarara
Accommodation at Sarara is in
five comfortable double tents,
each with beautiful open air showers.
The main lounge and dining area
are on a wooden deck with commanding
views of the Northern Frontier.
A natural rock swimming pool overlooks
a frequently visited animal waterhole.
Guests at Sarara can enjoy bush
walks with experienced local guides,
hike into the Mathews rainforest,
climb to the top of the sacred
Mt Lolokwe, go on a day trip to
Samburu game reserve and fly camping
safaris with camels or simply
relax during a moonlit bush dinner
beside natural animal watering
points. One of the highlights
of a stay at Sarara is a visit
to the ‘Singing Wells'.
During the dry season, Samburu
warriers bring their cattle to
these watering holes, some of
which are up to 10 metres deep.
The warriors strip off, descend
to form a human chain and chant
traditional Samburu songs as they
pass water up by hand for the
cattle. This ritual which goes
on for several hours will be one
of the memories that will stay
with guests for a lifetime.
