Porini Mara Camp is an intimate, eco-friendly safari retreat located within the private Ol Kinyei Conservancy, adjacent to Kenya’s famous Maasai Mara Reserve. Tucked away in a pristine wilderness, the camp offers a classic safari experience with a strong focus on conservation and authenticity. Guests are surrounded by expansive plains dotted with acacia trees, teeming with wildlife ranging from lions and cheetahs to large herds of elephants and plains game.
The camp features just six spacious tents, allowing for an exclusive and personalized experience. Each tent is comfortably furnished with traditional safari style and includes en-suite bathrooms with hot bucket showers, flush toilets, and solar-powered lighting. The camp’s communal areas, featuring a cozy lounge and open dining area, are designed to enhance the connection with the surrounding wilderness while providing comfort and warm hospitality.
Porini Mara Camp stands out for offering a genuine safari immersion without compromising on comfort. Game drives are conducted both within the Ol Kinyei Conservancy and neighboring areas, ensuring guests experience diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife without the crowds found in the main reserve.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Porini Mara Camp is from July to October, during the dry season and the Great Wildebeest Migration. Wildlife viewing is exceptional during these months, with frequent sightings of predators and dramatic river crossings. However, the months of January to March also offer incredible game viewing under clear skies, with resident wildlife and newborn animals adding richness to the experience.
How to Get There
Porini Mara Camp is best accessed by a scheduled flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to Ol Seki Airstrip, which is a short 45 minute drive to camp. Alternatively, guests can opt for a scenic road transfer from Nairobi, taking approximately five to six hours depending on road conditions.
