More Information

Set amidst the unspoiled wilderness of the 12,500-acre Selenkay Conservancy, Porini Amboseli Camp offers a truly immersive safari experience, far removed from the crowded tourist trails of Kenya’s national parks. This exclusive eco-camp is the only accommodation within the conservancy, giving guests unmatched access to vast savannahs, acacia woodlands, and a thriving wildlife population—all in complete privacy.

Porini Amboseli Camp is a shining example of low-impact, sustainable tourism. With only nine guest tents and one spacious family tent, the camp prioritizes comfort, authenticity, and environmental sensitivity. Each tent includes king or twin beds, a writing desk, private veranda, charging points, and an ensuite bathroom with a flushing toilet and safari shower. Powered entirely by solar energy and constructed using eco-friendly materials, the camp is designed to leave no lasting footprint on the land—so much so that, with a few rains, nature would reclaim the space within weeks if the camp were ever moved.

The safari experience at Porini Amboseli Camp is exceptional. Daily game drives explore both the Selenkay Conservancy and the renowned Amboseli National Park, where views of Mount Kilimanjaro provide a dramatic backdrop to unforgettable wildlife sightings. Guests enjoy guided walks with Maasai warriors, night game drives, picnic breakfasts, bush lunches, sundowners, and even the option for a romantic safari wedding. For those seeking deeper cultural engagement, visits to local villages and schools offer insight into Maasai traditions and a chance to support grassroots development.

Community support is at the heart of everything Porini does. The camp provides employment and training for local Maasai, funds community programs, and channels 100% of donations through the Wildlife Habitat Trust to vital initiatives in education, healthcare, and sustainable livelihoods—such as beekeeping programs for youth. This unique model of tourism ensures that conservation is not only sustainable, but deeply rooted in the well-being of the people who call this land home.

An evening drink with the elephants

We have now stayed at this camp four times and thoroughly enjoy the intimate nature of the camp, as well as the surrounding wildlife, especially the elephants. Just outside camp is a waterhole where they often come to drink in the evening, so you can have your sundowners watching the elephants having theirs. The waterhole attracts other animals as well, and on our most recent trip we were able to watch giraffes drinking, a precarious exercise for them. Mount Kilimanjaro can be seen from many places in the Conservancy, and makes a great backdrop to photos when it is not shrouded in mist The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the skills of the guides are excellent. We are already planning our next visit.
Wonderful

Fantastic experience at Porini Amboseli Camp! Everyone made us feel super welcome and took great care of us. Our guide Thomson was the best! So friendly, and super knowledgeable about nature and animals. The food at this camp was also amazing. The room was very comfortable. It's in the middle of nowhere, surrounded with wildlife. It's a bit far from the Amboseli reserve itself but on the way you already see plenty of animals in the conservancy. 100% recommended!
An exceptional African safari experience.

The Amboseli Camp was my favorite camp because I really enjoyed the remoteness of it. It was very well run and the food was amazing. The game drive guides were very experienced and knowledgable about the animals and the game parks. I highly recommend Porini Amboseli Camp for anyone seeking an exceptional African safari experience.
Perfect safari camp

2 night stay at Porini Amboseli Camp in December 2024. My first Porini camp and I was very impressed. The tents are huge and very well equipped, with a super comfy bed (with hot water bottle), an excellent bathroom, hot water showers (on request, as water is fed into the shower by bucket), and bed tea/coffee brought every morning to your tent. All little details are spot on.
Great way to start our trip

Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Amboseli Camp this past November. We saw a lot of mammals and many species of birds while on game drives and at sundowners. The elephants came to the watering hole in the evening in large numbers with babies and they really 'put on a show' playing with each other. We went to the National Park also and were able to see even more species of birds there...and also saw lions cross the road while we were there. We saw Cheetah babies and on a night drive caught a glimpse of a leopard. The accommodations were comfy, the food was good and the hosts were friendly. The safari guides were knowledgable and so accommodating to our wishes.
Fantastic

Everything about Porini Amboseli camp was magnificent. From the staff, to the drivers and spotters, and other guests was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this camp for anyone and especially if you travel alone as you are welcomed by everyone and never feel left out. I will definitely be going to Kenya again through Gamewatchers Porini camps.
