Kicheche Mara North Camp

Two simple open-sided canvas tents serve as the main dining and lounge areas. Their decor is subdued Kenyan style and very stylish, with comfortable cream couches, beautiful natural fibre carpets and distinctive Masai shukas. But it's the setting that really takes your breath away. The camp is hidden in a beautiful acacia valley overlooking the Olare Orok stream, with views over the plains. Relax in the little well-stocked library – it's a perfect spot to admire the wilderness.

Eight tents on cobble-stone platforms are scattered among the trees. The interiors are spacious, with stylish attention to detail. The beds are chunky, the mattresses are comfortable and the linens are good quality. In front of each is a small under-canvas veranda with directors' chairs – the ideal place to sit back and gaze at the huge views and the game, and the monkeys frolicking in the trees around you.

Full and half-day games drives allow you to get close to the enormous herds that form the Loita Migration during July. Investigate the bush on a guided walks, picnic in the wilderness or visit a local Masai village to learn about the culture and history of these wonderfully warm people. A fun option would be to sleep beneath Africa's sensational stars in a fly camp, which is reached via a guided walk through the bush. There's good birding too.
