[…] Once outside Camp, we found ourselves in a large flat space. Joel said that the staff sometimes played football there! It was certainly large enough but clearly many animals crossed over it as I could see Elephant, Wildebeest, and Impala droppings – having had a lesson on identifying these back in the Porini Amboseli Camp.

I was asked to go with my friend to Kenya on safari and Gerald Raath advised me that Porini was the way to go. We booked and had the most memorable safari in the conservations, away from all many vans in the parks and saw all the animals we wished to see. It was like our own safari and not being bothered with the general public. The camping was idyllic, hot water bottles in our beds every night an lovely hot showers when requested, and the staff first class. They not only knew all the animals, they knew all the trees and plants and flowers. I dream of going back with Porini.
Our 8 night stay just flew by so fast. Lion camp feels like home thanks to the incredible hospitality of the staff. The conservancy is beyond beautiful – scenery, animals, diversity. Of course we look forward to coming back in 2020 for our 18th consecutive year with Gamewatchers. Asante sana! (N Goodfellow via Guest Comments Book at Porini Lion Camp, 2019)
Everything exceeded expectation! The tent is great, the food is wonderful, the guides / drivers are fantastic and all the staff very helpful and attentive. Our guides (Edward) and driver (Julius) were great, asking what we would like to see and then finding it. They were very knowledgeable about all the animals and birds and were aware of photographers’ needs like lighting and angles. I will highly recommend Porini Lion camp to all my friends. Asante.
