Kitich camp is located in Mathew’s mountain Range in the Northern Frontier District. Mathews range is a line of dramatic mountains north of Mt.Kenya that stretches from Samburu to the Ndotos right up to Lake Turkana. Kitich overlooks a river glade within the lush indigenous forest. The forest is home to elephant, leopard, bushback, rhino, buffalo as well as cycads, spectacular butterflies, Turacos and wild orchids. The camp is subtly floodlit so that guests can watch the drama as the evenings unfold. Kitich is an authentic bush camp that offers a truly unique and private forest wildlife experience.
