Porini Lion Camp

Porini Lion Camp is a traditionally styled tented camp located on the banks of the seasonal Ntiakatiak River within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, on the border of the Masai Mara National Reserve.

The common parts of the camp include a central dining and lounge tent along the east bank of the river. This spacious tent is furnished in a neutral, modern style, with wood-frame armchairs, coffee tables and rugs, and modern dining tables and steel-frame dining chairs.

The ten tents are large, bright, comfortable and tastefully furnished and each has solar-powered lighting, ensuite facilities (with hot shower and flush toilet) and a private verandah.

As well as day game drives, the camp offers night drives within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, conducted with red spotlights only, to limit the impact on the wildlife. Bush walks take place largely on a high ridge of open ground to the west of Porini Lion Camp and the river. They are led by a Maasai guide from camp and escorted by an armed conservancy ranger. This means that these walks have to avoid dense bush and focus on areas where the herds of grazing wildlife – notably zebra, Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, wildebeest and giraffe – are not considered a threat.
