A 7 day safari bringing excellent value-for-money, combining two of Kenya’s most renowned wildlife locations. Guests have the rare opportunity to see rhino – including the World’s last two remaining Northern White Rhino – and can get off the beaten track to observe lions, leopards, cheetahs and much more where the animals are completely wild and free in their natural habitat.
Starting in Nairobi, you will begin your adventure with a flight to the world-renowned Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a vast area of landscape that has been set aside to protect the natural habitat for Kenya’s wildlife.
Spend 3 nights at Porini Rhino Camp taking daily day and night 4×4 game-drives (with expert driver-guide) in search of the Big Five. This is East Africa’s largest rhino sanctuary, so guests are guaranteed sightings of these majestic beasts. Lions and leopards also reside here.
Guests can also opt to visit the Chimpanzee Sanctuary, Baraka the Black Rhino and the Endangered Species Boma which houses the planet’s last two remaining Northern White Rhino.
Black Rhino in Ol Pejeta Conservancy
On Day 4 you will fly to the Maasai Mara for a further 3 nights at Porini Mara Camp which has just 6 guest tents sited within the exclusive 18,700 acre Ol Kinyei Conservancy.
From each camp, guests take day and night game drives within the conservancies which are teeming with wildlife. Drives are by custom-built, open-sided 4×4 safari vehicles (not tourist vans) with a driver-guide and a spotter. Porini guests also enjoy bush picnics and romantic sundowners and can join Maasai warriors for guided walks to learn more about Kenya’s fascinating flora and fauna.
The conservancies are formed of pristine wilderness with open savannah plains, riverine forest, springs, streams and rivers, rolling hills and spectacular views.

Meet Baraka the Black Rhino
Baraka was one of the first rhinos born on the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. After losing an eye to an infection following a fight he unfortunately developed a cataract in the other eye and subsequently became completely blind. With a low chance of survival on his own, Baraka was moved from the wild to a 100 acre enclosure in order to ensure his safety.
Baraka is now an ambassador for his species – and a popular attraction at Ol Pejeta. There is a feeding platform from which visitors can get up close to view and feed him, an experience not to be missed. Baraka receives visitors daily from 9.30am to 6.00pm, with feeding times three times per day.
The cost of the visit to Baraka and the Information Center is already included within the Conservancy Fee.
