Porini Camps

Porini Camps offer the chance to escape from the crowds and experience the African wilderness without the presence of other tourist vehicles. The camps are operated and managed by the local Masai communities with the objective of creating income and providing benefits for local people. They are all run on environmentally sound principles and specially designed to have minimum impact, with no permanent structures.

Camp

Surrounded by acres of stunning scenery, this is the original Porini ecotourism camp with wildlife in abundance, including the big cats, African wildcat, striped hyena, gerenuk and lesser kudu. The camp itself consists of 6 classic safari tents with all meals and drinks inclusive. However, there’s no swimming pool, bar or restaurant – this is real camping in the bush and definitely an experience to treasure!

The latest addition to Porini Eco tourism is Ol Pejeta Conservancy, with an area of over 60,000 acres reserved exclusively for 4x4 safari vehicles and eco-camps. It is the largest rhino conservancy in East Africa with over 70 rhinos in residence. A sustainable tourism project, the camp is built using no permanent structures to ensure that when the camp is removed, no visible signs of the camp or people will remain.
