Porini Lion Camp

Porini Lion Camp:

The highest lion density on 33,000 gold-rated acres set aside for wildlife and you!

The Lion Camp area in Olare Motorogi Conservancy offers some of the best big cat viewing in Africa on classic Mara grassland. A true photographer’s paradise featuring a dedicated media tent for immediate editing of the best shots of the day.

The award-winning, eco-friendly Porini Lion Camp offers a unique opportunity to take guided walks with Maasai Warriors and experience day and night game drives within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy – a pristine and exclusive 33,000-acre wilderness set aside for wildlife conservation and low-impact tourism.

Porini Lion camp adheres to strict eco-friendly and responsible eco-tourism principles. There are limits on densities and every tent pays to protect 700 acres of wilderness which also helps to reduced the number of vehicles in the conservancy. The camp has a prestigious Gold Eco-rating from Eco-tourism Kenya. Porini Lion Camp – with just nine tents and one family unit – ensures guests have a genuine “away from it all” experience deep in the African bush
