This
5 night recommended Safari combines two properties that complement each other
perfectly - Amboseli Porini Camp in the 'private' Selenkay Conservancy
and Mara Porini Camp in the private Ol Kinyei conservancy, part of the famous
Masai Mara ecosystem.
Both
Safari camps are small and exclusive and run on the same principles - working
closely with the local communities.
