Catching up with Kitich

Kitich opens for the seasons

After closing for the annual long rains, Kitich is open and ready for another spectacular season! Emma Hedges and the team at camp have been busy getting everything ready for the start of the season. This typically dry area is unrecognizable, brimming full of colourful wild flowers, swaying golden grasses and incredibly green!  Around camp roads and roofs repaired, flush toilets have been added to two of the tents!

Taking to the skies

This season we've taken to the skies with the launch of easy flying connections via a Cessna 206. Connecting Kitich Forest Camp to some of the most iconic destinations and experiences to be had in the Great North! 

From 1st July, the Cessna 206 (four passengers), based at Samburu Kalama airstrip offers a quick 23 minutes hop, a stunningly beautiful low-level flight over the sacred Ololokwe Mountain, and the incredible 'sky island' forest in the Mathews en-route to Kitich. An exciting and unique way to get to Kitich Forest Camp and further afield! 

The flight provides easy access to Reteti Elephant Sanctuary which can now become part of your Kitich Forest Camp experience. Alternately one can simply enjoy connecting to other northern destinations or explore more of the magical north by booking a scenic flight.
