6 August 2014 – Kicheche Camps and Discover Africa have launched a special holiday package
to celebrate the new Herdtracker app.

The brand new
HerdTracker app tracks the Great Migration through the Masai Mara
and Serengeti in real time showing the precise location of the herds of
1.5 million animals, allowing wildlife enthusiasts to plan trips based
on migration maps and week by week predictions.
The tool allows travellers to judge weather, wildlife, migratory
movements, predator interactions and river crossings, with the data
compiled by pilots flying over the Masai Mara and Serengeti, on the
ground guides and rangers, as well as from lodges in Kenya.
The best time to visit the Masai Mara is between mid July and late October when the Great Migration passes through.
Each year, the Great Migration sees up to two
million wildebeest and zebra undertake a journey of over 1,600
kilometres from the plains of the Serengeti to the grasslands of the
Masai Mara.
Kicheche Camps, a
group
of small, privately owned luxury camps in Kenya’s Masai Mara and
Laikipia conservancies, is currently gearing up to witness the
spectacle.
Guests can choose from the classic
Bush Camp located in the Orare Orok Conservancy, to the intimate
Mara Camp located in the Mara North Conservancy,
Kicheche Laikipia in the shadows of Mount Kenya or the newest addition,
Kicheche Valley with views as far as the eye can see.
Kicheche’s
four camps offer a genuinely responsible stay in Kenya. Each of the
camps comprises just four or six tented suites so visitors
experience a stay away from the crowds. The private guides are all at
least Silver qualified and extremely knowledgeable of the wildlife,
landscape and local culture. The landscape and wildlife are quiet and
untouched, meaning that visitors will never suffer
a crowd of vehicles.
Since
launching in 2000, Kicheche Camps has grown from one small campsite in
Kenya’s Masai Mara, to a luxury portfolio. However, Kicheche has not
lost track of its roots, realising that guests
desire a genuine wilderness awakening without diluting the wild bush
experience. The camps are unfenced and superbly positioned in the legendary wilderness.
Guests can enjoy superb and unlimited Kenyan wildlife viewing with no limit on drives,
luxury under-canvas living, intuitive, personalised service, expertly mixed sundowners and gourmet cuisine served al-fresco.
