Porini Lion Camp has recently been set up in the exclusive wildlife conservancy of Olare Orok, an expansive conservancy, which borders the Masai Mara Reserve and is one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in the Serengeti-Mara eco-system. Situated along the banks of the Ntiakatiak River, a seasonal river with some permanent hippo pools near the camp, the camp makes no use of permanent structures and is accommodated entirely under canvas. Offering only 10 luxury guest tents, Porini offers an exclusive Mara experience, which is not available in the longer-established camps within the main national reserve. A pristine wilderness, the 20,000 exclusive Olare Orok Conservancy offers savannah plains, riverine forest, springs, streams and rivers, rolling hills and spectacular views across the Mara. Belonging to the local Maasai community, the land has been set aside as a wildlife sanctuary and boasts a wide variety of the animal species for which the Mara is famous.

Accommodation

The camp offers 10 spacious tents, comfortably furnished with en suite bathrooms to the rear of the tent (shower, wash basin and flush toilet). Sited beneath yellow-barked Acacia trees, along the banks of the river, each tent offers both a double and a single bed, traditonal safari furnitue and solar electricity. 

Activities include

Picnic lunches

Game drives in the conservancy

Escorted walk with Maasai guides

Sundowner drinks to watch the sunset from scenic viewing points

Dining and bars

Because the camp is presented in the style of a true safari camp, there are no permanent structures. Consequently, meals are taken under the shade of an Acacia tree, precluded and followed by drinks around the campfire. 

Child-friendly

The camp welcomes children. 

Ecotourism

The local Maasai community has set aside the conservation area as a reserve for wildlife and in return is receiving an income from tourism activities.This is used to fund community projects such as schools and water supplies.Employment opportunities have also been provided for the local Maasai people as game rangers,trackers,and camp staff. Apart from the management and Head Chef,all other staff in the camp and Conservation Area are members of the local Maasai community.
