Kalacha Camp was completed in mid 1999 after 5 months of building.

The camp consists of 4 bandas with twin beds, and each banda has its own bathroom, with flush toilet and cold shower. The bandas have a small veranda on the front, and overlook the oasis. The mess area is a circular building, and consists of the main living area and dining area.

These community groups receive revenue through either bed nights or sand grouse shooting. As a visitor, it is gratifying to know that one's money is assisting with the welfare of rural communities, while at the same time helping to conserve the environment in one of Kenya 's most remote regions.
