This
5 night recommended Safari combines two properties that
complement each other perfectly - Amboseli Porini Camp
in the 'private' Selenkay Conservancy and Mara
Porini Camp in the private Ol Kinyei conservancy, part
of the famous Masai Mara ecosystem.
Both
Safari camps are small and exclusive and run on the
same principles - working closely with the local communities.
