Kitich Camp is located in the remote Matthews mountain range, a rarely visited area of Northern Frontier District, in Kenya.

The people of the Matthews Range are the pastoral Samburu and Soyei who used to gather together in the upper valley of Ngeng River for feasting, singing, and dancing. Here they were always assured of water and grazing for their cattle and honey for making beer. They called this area "Kitich - the place of happiness".

Kitich Camp is a lush oasis amid arid surroundings and is one of the real conservation successes of Kenya. A grass roots approach that has resulted in a win-win situation for people, wildlife and the environment.

Everything about Kitich has been left as natural as possible, without sacrificing any important creature comforts. Each of the six luxury tents features its own veranda and view plus en suite bathroom with a canvas camp shower, under the stars, with true "running water": just ask and the staff will run and get it for you, at any time of the day and evening. The water is heated over a cedar deadwood fire near your tent and is available in the quantity you may desire.

Because of the pristine and unexplored wilderness Kitich avoids the traditional game drives. Instead, guests enjoy walks in the forest, accompanied by their expert guides and host, Giulio Bertolli, traveller with more than 30 years experience in different countries of Africa. There are several walks, ranging from very gentle to the vigorous, including a forty minutes hike to a natural swimming pool in the forest. Living in this remote, unspoiled place "hiking among the elephants and other wildlife" guided by the Samburu who have walked these paths for over two hundred years. It is a spiritual experience that is never forgotten.
