Porini Camp

Porini Camp is located in the Selenkay Conservation Area, a 15 000 acre private game reserve bordering the Amboseli National Park. The Conservation Area is an important dispersal area for wildlife moving in and out of Amboseli and actually holds a wider diversity of species than is found inside the park. In the heart of Maasailand, well of the beaten track, it has not been visited by tourists until very recently. The animals are truly wild and tend to behave more naturally than those in the parks, which are often habituated to the presence of vehicles. A private track links the camp to the National Park so that we have the advantage of game drives in the park as well as in our own exclusive reserve where night drives can also be experienced. On escorted walks Maasai trackers will give you an insight into their fascinating culture and way of life.

This small, exclusive camp consists of 6 spacious tents, sited among shady Acacia Tortilis trees. It is set up along the lines of the traditional safari bush camp so there are no permanent structures like a bar, restaurant or swimming pool – this is real camping in the bush, but with much more comfortable bathroom arrangements. The tents are large and comfortably furnished, each with a double and a single bed, solar powered electric lights and en suite bathroom with shower, washbasin and flush toilet. Meals are taken under the shade of an Acacia tree.
