The Selenkay Conservation Area is 100 miles from Nairobi and a three-hour drive, mostly on tarmac down the Mombassa road. The Porini camp operates a transfer by minibus from Nairobi every Monday, Thursday and Saturday for a 2-night Porini Safari and every Wednesday for a 1-night Porini Safari. The Amboseli airstrip can also be used, with daily flights from Nairobi operated by Air Kenya. A surcharge is applicable for airstrip transfers as well as pickup or drop-off to Namanga.
Going on Amboseli safari in a 'proper' safari vehicle gives a far better safari experience than touring in the minibus vans with window seats used by other tour operators and travel agents in Kenya! And as Selenkay Conservation Area is a private game reserve you will not see any other safaris vehicles or minibuses. From Amboseli Porini Camp guests have game drives with excellent guides in the Selenkay Conservancy and in the Amboseli National Park. A full day is spent in the park with a picnic lunch to get close to the elephants and other wildlife. One of the highlights is an escorted walk with Maasai warriors to visit an authentic Maasai village. Night game drives are taken in the Selenkay Conservancy to seek out the nocturnal animals. At the camps all meals, drinks (wine, gin & tonic, beer, sodas, mineral water), and all activities including game drives, walks, night drives and sundowners are included in the price.
Porini Camp Hotel Accommodation
Porini Camp Hotel consists of six spacious tents, sited among shady Acacia Tortilis trees, in a spot once favored by big game hunters. The Porini hotel camp is small and offers exclusive luxury accommodation for a maximum of 12 tourists. It is set up along the lines of the traditional hunting safari bush camp, so there are no permanent structures like bar or restaurant or swimming pool – this is real luxury camping in Kenya bush, but with much more comfortable bathroom arrangements than were available to the hunters of earlier years! The tents are large and comfortably furnished each with a double and a single bed, solar-powered electric lights, and en suite bathroom with shower, washbasin and flush toilet. Meals are taken under the shade of an Acacia tree and after dinner you can sit around the campfire and listen to the sounds of the African night. The Porini Tented Camp staffed are members of the local Maasai community and managed by a young South African couple, Ryan and Tania, who are experienced Kenya safari guides and act as your hosts and source of travel and Safaris information throughout your stay.
Porini Tents have solar-powered electric lighting. The camp is private and only available to clients on the escorted safari itinerary with a maximum of 12 guests.
