Need To Know
Porini Lion Camp is located in unique and stunning setting on the banks of the seasonal Ntiakatiak River within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy. This large area borders the Masai Mara National Reserve and is home to an abundance of animals including the Mara’s renowned Big Cats. There is unsurpassed game-viewing within the conservancy due to its unspoiled natural state and the Porini Lion Camp – with just ten tents – ensures guests have a genuine “away from it all” experience deep in the African bush.
Safaris
Game drives (shared) are in specially-designed off-road (4×4) safari vehicles with expert / qualified safari guides to ensure the best possible game-viewing. Guests particularly enjoy the drives within the Conservancy where they experience the wilderness without being surrounded by other tourist vehicles.

Best Value Safari Property
Porini Lion Camp was outstanding on my visit in October 2023. All other Porini Camps I have stayed in would be equally deserving. The guides at Porini Lion Camp have exceptional local knowledge.

Best Value Safari Property
The tents, the food, the staff, the location are all had to beat. The variety of animals in the conservancy, which limits the number of vehicles at a sighting.

The conservancy approach is a win/win for all. The land owners are paid to allow visitors, the animals are protected and guests get amazing wildlife viewing. Interaction wit the Masai is important.

Best Safari Property Location
Porini Lion Camp is situated perfectly--close to the Masa Mara for those who want to go into the reserve, but with an abundance of animals right in their conservancy.
