The Ragati Conservancy lies on the Southern slopes of Mt. Kenya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and consists entirely of afro-montane forest and afro-alpine heath. Its ecosystem includes the Ragati River and its tributaries.

Ragati is very easily reached by road from Nairobi. It is only a 3 hours drive from Nairobi and only 1 hour 30 minutes from Nanyuki. Flights to Ragati Conservancy from Nairobi Wilson airport land at Nanyuki Airstrip.

Kichachu Camp is a self-catering accommodation nestled in an open glade and right on the river and has 4 canvas tents that can comfortably accommodate 8 guests. All tents are equipped with comfortable camp beds with mattresses – you only need to bring food, sleeping bags, and your walking/ fishing gear.

There is a comfortable mess tent used as the communal area and the kitchen is an open fire. Enough cooking equipment and crockery/cutlery for up to 8 guests are provided. Guests prepare their own meals and are hence expected to bring their own food.
