Our Vehicles

We have a broad range of transport options and all vehicles that we use are of good quality, regularly maintained and come with a professional and friendly driver-guide.

Vehicles based at Camps / Lodges

Some camps (including Porini Safari Camps) operate their own specially-adapted open-sided 4×4 safari vehicles for airstrip transfers and game drives.

We have various designs of 4×4 vehicle at Porini Camps. Some are completely open-sided with a high canvas roof. Some cars can also have the top (roof) canopy rolled open for guests to actually stand – great for photographers. 90% of our fleet is Land Cruisers. We also have Land Rovers.

Road Safaris

Kenya safari transport (for transport around the country on road safaris or between camps) is based on specially-adapted 6 seater Toyota Land Cruisers (4×4) with pop-up roofs so that guests can stand up when viewing wildlife and can take photographs.

The Toyota Land Cruisers (4×4) are the standard East African design customised for safaris. The vehicles used for overland road safaris are not open sided like our vehicles based at the Porini Camps but have glass windows which slide and they have roof hatches which either fold over or pop-up.

Our Recommendation:

Avoid long overland road transfers between the parks and instead fly from Nairobi into the Porini Camps and then go on game drives from camp in our open-sided safari vehicles with an expert guide. 

Hotel & Airport Transfers

These are available only for our customers who have booked with us for a safari or a stay in Nairobi or at a beach resort at the Kenya coast.

Transfers in Nairobi

These can be based on 4-seater minivans or 6-seater 4×4 Land Cruisers.
