An African safari is the perfect experience for families, and a lovely way to create life-long memories. Children aged over 8 years are welcome at all our Porini Camps, either sharing a tent with adults or (for older children) in their own tent. For families wanting more space we have introduced Family Tents …

Porini Mara Camp, Porini Lion Camp, Porini Amboseli Camp and Porini Rhino Camp now feature these family units comprised of two Twin / Double tents connected together by an additional private lounge area.
These are ideal for families with children, extended families or groups of adults travelling together.

Porini Lion Camp, Olare Motorogi Conservancy (Masai Mara)

The family unit at Porini Lion Camp is an I-shaped tent located 20 metres from the main areas. The unit is made of high quality canvas and is spacious, measuring 144 square metres. It consists of two rooms with a lounge in between. Each of the two rooms has a king size bed and a single bed.

The tent is tastefully furnished and has solar-powered lighting, en suite facilities (with hot shower and flush toilet) and a private veranda. The unit is ideal for families or a group of friends travelling together and is at the same price per person as our other tents.

Porini Lion Camp is located in unique and stunning setting within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy. This large area is home to an abundance of animals including the Mara’s renowned Big Cats. There is unsurpassed game-viewing within the conservancy due to its unspoiled natural state and the Porini Lion Camp – with just ten tents – ensures guests have a genuine “away from it all” experience.

Porini Mara Camp, Ol Kinyei Conservancy (Masai Mara)

The family unit at Porini Mara Camp is a H-shaped tent located about 20 metres from the main areas. The unit is made of high quality canvas and is spacious, each wing measuring 64 square metres and the lounge is 16 square metres.

It consists of two rooms with a lounge in between. Each of the two rooms has a king size bed and a single bed.

As above, the tent is tastefully furnished and has solar-powered lighting, en suite facilities (with hot shower and flush toilet) and a private veranda. The unit is ideal for families or a group of friends travelling together and is at the same price per person as our other tents.

Porini Mara Camp contains just six spacious guest tents and has an exclusive yet friendly feel, set in Ol Kinyei Conservancy – an 18700 acre wilderness set aside as a wildlife sanctuary with a wide variety of species including big cats. The area has open plains, forests, rivers and stunning views. This setting provides the ultimate African safari holiday adventure in an unspoilt area, away from the crowds.

Family Tents at Porini Amboseli Camp, Selenkay Conservancy and Porini Rhino Camp, Ol Pejeta Conservancy.

These are available from 1 June 2019 and are the H-shaped tent very similar to the one at Porini Mara Camp (see above).

Family Tents are priced the same as two Twin/Double tents, but are available on a first-come first-served basis, so do book early!
