Porini Lion Camp

Porini Lion Safari Camp is located in the exclusive 33 000 acre Olare Motogori Conservancy. This expansive conservancy, which borders the Masai Mara National Reserve, is home to an abundance of animals including the Mara's renowned big cats. The local Maasai community members own the conservancy and the majority of the camp staff are from the surrounding communities.

Daily activities include morning game drives in open-sided Land Rover 4 wheel drive safari vehicles, on both the conservancy and in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Night game drives on the Conservancy can also be enjoyed, giving guests the opportunity to see many of the elusive nocturnal animals. During July through to September, the camp is an ideal base from which to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration and there is also the opportunity to enjoy a hot air balloon safari (at an additional cost) to view the wildlife from a completely different perspective.

Guests can also go on escorted bush walks in the conservancy with Maasai warriors and a safari guide, and learn more about the flora, fauna and people of the surrounding areas.

The camp is very environmentally-friendly, with solar powered lighting and no permanent structures. This is a true 'camping in the African' bush experience - but in comfort!

The 10 guest tents, including one family tent, are very spacious and have private verandahs along the length of the tent, providing a secluded 'space' to relax and enjoy the beauty of this African wilderness. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with a flush toilet and a hot 'bucket' shower. The family tent consists of 2 tents connected together by a private lounge area.

All meals at Porini Lion Camp are crafted to complement the authenticity of the safari experience, and are served on a set menu basis, with warming hearty breakfast in the morning, light invigorating lunches and 3 course dinners.
