Five Porini Safari |
Staying
in the exclusive Porini Camps, Ol Pejeta &
Maasai Mara
This 4 night, 5 day Safari combines two of
Kenya’s finest wildlife areas:
- Ol
Pejeta Conservancy, the largest rhino conservancy
in East Africa in a vast tract of wilderness within
the Laikipia area, overlooking snow-capped Mount
Kenya. Elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard
all present.
- The
Mara, famous for the spectacular wildebeest
migration between June and October every year and
excellent for lion and cheetah.
Accommodation is in two camps that complement each other
perfectly – staying first at Porini Rhino Camp
in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, followed by Porini Lion
Camp in the Olare Orok Conservancy adjacent to the Mara
Reserve. The Safari Camps are small and exclusive and
run on the same environmentally sound principles - working
closely with the local communities. All camps are specially
designed to have minimum impact with no permanent structures.
Highlights:
- Transfers
between each camp are on our scheduled air service
with a flight to get you straight to the wildlife
without spending hours traveling between the parks
over rough roads.
- Game
drives from the camps in 4x4 safari vehicles (not
vans) with excellent guides.
- Walks
with Maasai warriors, opportunity for night game
drives, exclusive wilderness areas with no tourist
minibuses.
- An
authentic safari experience staying in small exclusive
camps with spacious guest tents, comfortably furnished
with private bathrooms, solar lights and located
in attractive unspoilt natural settings.
- At
the camps all meals, drinks (wine, gin & tonic,
beer, sodas, mineral water), game drives, walks,
night drives and sundowners are included in the
price.
