The Mathew’s Mountain Range rise up out of the desert; a chain
of peaks covered in dense dewy forest. In a remote valley,
Kitich Camp overlooks a river glade within the lush indigenous
forest. The forest is home to elephant, leopard, bushbuck,
rhino, buffalo, as well as ancient cycads, spectacular
butterflies, Turacos and wild orchids. With only six guest
tents, one can expect complete privacy. Each en suite tent is
traditionally safari-style, with an al-fresco stone bathroom.
Kitich Camp’s cosy lounge with open fire overlooks the floodlit
river glade – from here guests can enjoy watching the wildlife
emerge from the forest at dusk.
Kitich Camp is an authentic ‘bush
camp’ and offers a truly unique and private forest wildlife
experience.
