Porini Camps | Award-winning Eco-friendly Luxury Safari Camps
Porini Camps | Award-winning Eco-friendly Luxury Safari Camps. Porini Camps are exclusive conservancies in some of Kenya‘s top wildlife areas, such as the renowned Masai Mara and Amboseli National Park, where they are tiny, cozy, high-quality safari camps. When you go on safari in a conservancy, you can see exhilarating wildlife sightings away from the throngs of visitors and minibusses that are known to congest Kenya’s well-known national parks.
A Porini safari is for the true wildlife enthusiast who wants to spend time in the wild, have a private journey without interruption, and travel with an experienced and informed safari guide. Visitors may immerse themselves in the African environment and follow the footprints of big cats and their prey on guided walks with Maasai warriors, morning and afternoon game drives, and night drives. Night drives also offer the chance to see nocturnal animals like the civet cat and caracal.

Every Porini Camp adheres to environmental best practices and is built with care to have as little of an impact as possible on the environment. The campgrounds use solar energy for electricity and eco-friendly charcoal for water heating. There are no permanent structures present.

Maasai Mara Conservancies
Staying at the Porini Safari Camps within the private Maasai Mara Conservancies provides one of the most exclusive, crowd-free, and ethically sustainable wildlife experiences in East Africa. Unlike the public Maasai Mara National Reserve—which can become crowded with vehicles—these private lands strictly limit tourist density to one tent per 700 acres and one vehicle per 1,400 acres.
Amboseli Conservancy
A safari in the Amboseli ecosystem staying at the Porini Amboseli Camp offers an exclusive, crowd-free alternative to the mass tourism often found inside the main national park. Located within the private Selenkay Conservancy (a 12,500–13,000 acre tract of community-owned Maasai land north of Amboseli National Park), this gold eco-rated camp provides a low-density, sustainable elephant safari.
Laikipia Conservancy
A safari in the Laikipia plateau staying at the Porini Rhino Camp offers an immersive wildlife experience focused on pioneering conservation. Tucked away in a secluded valley within the Ol Pejeta Conservancy (a vast 90,000-acre private sanctuary), this eco-friendly camp provides front-row seats to East Africa’s largest black rhino sanctuary without the crowd density of public parks.
