Realise your African dream of getting up close to nature on this 7 Days Kenya Camping Safari in Masai Mara and Amboseli, centred on outstanding game viewing with warm hospitality and homely comforts intact.
Your evenings are spent in Porini’s acclaimed eco-camps, set in picturesque private conservancies that serve as vital wildlife corridors between national parks. That means abundant game viewing without sharing your special moments with crowds of vehicles — plus personalised care and a minimal environmental footprint throughout.
Arrive in Nairobi where your guide transfers you to the airstrip for the light-aircraft flight to Porini Amboseli Camp in the exclusive Selenkay Conservancy, far from the tourist crowds. Wake to fresh coffee and pastries, spend days on game drives, and savour dinners beneath an acacia tree with views of Mount Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped peak. Afternoon drives pause at a scenic overlook for sundowners before continuing as a night drive — a thrilling chance to spot nocturnal wildlife.
After an expertly cooked bush breakfast, transfer to Porini Mara Camp in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy, surrounded by savannah plains, riverine forest, rolling hills, and quiet rivers. Maasai guides in traditional attire lead intimate nature walks and share deep knowledge of the land and its wildlife. Game-view from a proper open safari vehicle, or float over the plains in an optional hot air balloon. Evenings bring sundowners on the banks of the Laetoli River and dinners made from the finest ingredients.
Travel to Porini Lion Camp on the banks of the Ntiakitiek River in the Olare Orok Conservancy, a region famed for frequent predator and big-game sightings, including the elusive leopard. Travel in the dry months of August and September to witness the wildebeest herds pushing into Kenya in search of fresh grass. After days exploring the neighbouring Masai Mara, swap campfire stories with fellow travellers in the traditional boma.
Bid farewell to the wonderful staff and fellow travellers, carrying your memories of Amboseli and the Mara with you as you make your way back to Nairobi for your return flight.
