Fulfil your African dream of experiencing nature up close and personal on this 8-day safari focused on exceptional game viewing. Experience generous hospitality without sacrificing homely comforts. Spend your evenings at Porini’s award-winning eco-camps, located a short flight from each other in beautiful surroundings. Hospitable service is provided across the board, while simple touches, personalised attention, and minimal impact on the environment make your holiday a relaxing, adventurous safari.
Porini camps are located in ideal positions for observing African wildlife. The camps showcase key dispersal points where game moves in and out of neighbouring national parks. This means that you have the benefit of the parks’ abundant game without sharing precious encounters with masses of vehicles and other tourists.
Not only will you experience an authentic African safari on this trip, but you will have a positive impact on the local community and wildlife conservation efforts in the conservancies you visit. By supporting camps that emphasise sustainability and eco-tourism, you can rest assured that you are preserving Africa’s wilderness and culture.
Upon arriving at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you’ll be swiftly transferred to Nairobi Tented Camp, nestled within Nairobi National Park. Not only is it Kenya’s oldest official reserve, but it’s also the largest protected area globally in such close proximity to a city centre. The park’s significance extends to being a principal rhino sanctuary and a haven for bird enthusiasts, hosting over 300 species, including migratory birds in March and April.
Your comfortable canvas tent features an en suite bathroom with fire-heated showers, offering a cosy ambience. Your veranda overlooks the valley and acacia forest, providing a contemplative retreat. Choose between an expertly guided 4×4 game drive or a visit to the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, a renowned centre for orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation, contributing to the successful reintegration of over 150 infant elephants into the wild. This experience does need to be pre-booked.
After breakfast, head back to Wilson Airport in Nairobi for your light aircraft flight to Porini Amboseli. Escape the hordes of tourists when you settle into Porini’s tented camp in this private conservancy.
Awake to the pleasing aroma of coffee and biscuits before setting off on your safari activity. Back at camp, enjoy a delicious meal under an Acacia tree while marvelling at the snow-capped peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The afternoon game drive stops at a stunning viewpoint for sundowners before continuing as a night drive. A thrilling opportunity to see nocturnal predators on the prowl for dinner. Return to camp where your delightful dinner awaits in the charming mess tent.

After an expertly prepared bush breakfast, transfer to the Selenkay Airstrip to catch your light aircraft flight to Wilson Airport. From here, head to your next game viewing springboard – Porini Mara. This modest camp is situated in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy surrounded by thriving savannah plains, riverine forests, rolling hills and tranquil rivers.
Encounter Maasai in traditional garb, who share their incredible knowledge about the land and wildlife on up-close and intimate nature walks. Enhance your game viewing experience in Porini’s classic safari vehicle (not a minibus) or soar above the plains in a hot-air balloon.
Return to camp and a warm welcome from the camp manager before freshening up in your en suite tent. Enjoy a delicious sundowner on the bank of the Laetoli River before tucking into a delicious meal prepared with the freshest ingredients, served by friendly staff.

Visit during the dry months of August and September to witness the annual spectacle of wildebeest migrating to the dryer areas of Kenya in search of tender new grass shoots. After a day of exploring Kenya’s jewel, the neighbouring Masai Mara, swop campfire tales with your fellow adventurers in the traditional boma.
