Go in search of lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, rhino and much more in some of the most game-rich wildlife reserves in East Africa with this 5 night (6 day) tour.

After a night in Nairobi National Park the tour continues to Ol Pejeta Conservancy – home of the World’s last 2 Northern White Rhinos. Then head to the game-filled Olare Motorogi Conservancy – which has the highest density of free-roaming wild lions in  the Mara -Serengeti Ecosystem

 

Day and night game drives are by 4×4 safari vehicles with expert guides, and exciting bush walks are included giving you the opportunity to get close to flora and fauna often missed from drives. Accommodation is in camps that complement each other perfectly – staying first at Nairobi Tented Camp in the heart of Nairobi National Park, then Porini Rhino Camp in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, followed by Porini Lion Camp in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy adjacent to the Mara Reserve.

The Safari Camps are small and exclusive and run on the same environmentally sound principles. Our fully-qualified, professional safari guides will ensure that you get the very best wildlife-viewing experience.

* Extra Night Rates:

Extra night rate includes fully inclusive accommodation and game activities within the Conservancy. For clients that choose to visit the National Reserve must pay the extra park entry fee on top of the above rates.

Our Porini Camps in the Mara are adjacent to the reserve in exceptionally rich wildlife areas where tourism density is controlled and deliberately kept very low (1 guest tent to 700 acres) and as such there is no need to visit the Mara National Reserve to view lions,  cheetahs, leopards, elephants, buffalo, giraffe, hippo etc.  Stays in our camps in the conservancies also include extra activities like night game drives, guided bush walks, bush meals and sundowners. However, should guests wish to include an extra visit to the reserve this can be pre-booked with the additional park entry charge applicable (currently $80 per person for 2023, $100 per person for 2024 low season & $200 per person for 2024 high season, subject to change). As the park entry tickets for the reserve must be booked and paid for in advance, this option needs to be confirmed at time of booking.
