With traditional safari charm and tents overlooking a river frequented by wildlife and colourful birds and butterflies, the camp delivers an exciting and unique wilderness experience.
At Kitich Forest Camp, the emphasis is on walking and hiking, allowing you to explore the pristine ancient forests.
