Tucked away in a secluded forest of Leleshwa (African Wild Sage) and Yellow Bark Acacia, Porini Giraffe Camp offers an intimate and authentic safari experience in the heart of the Mara Ripoi Conservancy. Spanning 22,000 acres of rolling hills, lush riverine woodlands, and open plains, this exclusive conservancy is a haven for wildlife—including big cats, elephants, giraffes, and countless other species—all roaming freely between the Mara Reserve, Siana Conservancy, and Ol Kinyei Conservancy via natural wildlife corridors.
With just eight guest tents, Porini Giraffe Camp provides a personal and eco-conscious safari experience, offering a refreshing alternative to the crowded tourist lodges. The camp’s spacious dining tent and inviting lounge, set along the tranquil Ripole River, create the perfect setting to unwind after thrilling game drives and guided walks.Â
Designed with minimal environmental impact, the camp operates with no permanent structures, staying true to its eco-friendly ethos and is ideal for families and travelers seeking a more exclusive and immersive adventure.
As part of a conservation initiative, the land is leased from the local Maasai community, ensuring that both wildlife and people benefit from sustainable tourism.
Mara Ripoi Conservancy is home to just three small camps, including Porini Giraffe Camp as a founding member, and remains off-limits to outside tourist vehicles. This means guests enjoy unrivaled access to thousands of acres of pristine wilderness—without the crowds.
