Douglas B6 July 2025Verified Safari stays in Gamewhatchers Amboseli, Lion and Cheetah Camps in late June of 2025 A very exciting and well-planned event in Southwest Kenya. We stayed in 3 camps, and all were well organized and well run. The staff at each camp were most friendly and accommodating, and that is not to mention the food, which was excellent all the way around. The Gamewatcher Facilitator of our safari, Wayne Hammond, had the patience of Job in that there are several pre-safari obstacles to overcome and it takes patience to walk one through them all. The number of animals were much better than I expected in a non-migration period, and the landscapes were captivating. I would highly recommend this company if you were looking for an updated experience typical of what would have been in Hemingway's time. Elaine L2 July 2025Verified Relax and Enjoy We visited three camps and had a super experience at each one. Camp managers, staff, guides and drivers were outstanding. Joseph, Amos, Ben , Dennis & Dalton were helpful, knowledgeable & friendly. The tents were comfortable with inside toilet & gravity shower. Food is tasty and plentiful in the dining room or on a ride. No worries. Planning with Wayne Hammond was so easy . Just sit back, relax and enjoy the views. Donna F29 June 2025Verified Game Watchers is simply a must-do! Simply put, Game Watchers delivered an unforgettable and extraordinary adventure for us! From the moment we contacted Wayne from Game Watchers to inquire about the trip to the end of a fantastic journey, the communication and personal care were immediate and seamless. Game Watchers provided us with an exceptional experience of an African Safari that allowed us to slow down and take a closer look at not only the animals, but the birds, flora, and landscape of the African savannah through the eyes of authentic Masai game watchers.Other considerations that set Game Watchers apart were the outstanding accommodations, meals, and up-close views of the animals. The camp directors, guides, drivers, and campsite staff were exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We enjoyed their commentary, cultural insights, and laughed at their jokes and amusing stories. We particularly enjoyed our morning breakfast and evening cocktails with our guides each day on the savannah. Indeed, we felt sad when we had to leave one camp and go to another where we experienced the same welcoming staff, outstanding accommodations (complete with charging outlets for phones), scenic views of the savannah, and close encounters with the animals. Game Watchers crafted an unforgettable experience for us that blended the thrill of an African safari with the personal care and comfort of a premium hotel. For anyone who loves adventure, nature, and storytelling, Game Watchers is simply a must-do! Kabloom17 June 2025Verified You Can't Go Wrong With Gamewatchers Porini Camps My second trip with Gamewatchers in Kenya. I was lucky enough to book through Wayne both times, and he does an amazing job of taking care of his clients (even when they screw things up themselves). The camps are wonderful. The guides are amazing. The food is great. You will be spoiled rotten by a Gamewatchers experience! Inamd14 June 2025Verified Fantastic Stay We had the pleasure of staying at three of their camps in Kenya - two adjacent to the Mara and one at ol Pejeta. The entire organization is great - they are very organized, professional and responsive. Starting from the booking process all the way through to the meet and greet at the airports and airstrips - they are professionals. They managed to ensure that our trip went off smoothly when so many things could have gone wrong. Porini Mara - great location, excellent stay, great food and guides. The exclusive agreement with the community really makes a difference. Porini Lion - great accommodation, great service, good food and guides. Porini Rhino - fantastic location, great service and food, great guides. We would certainly recommend this company - and have done - to friends and family thinking about a safari trip to Kenya. Wander526340705332 April 2025Verified Repeat customers We`ve used this company several times over the past five years or so, and we like the way they do things. Everything is very organised, and their staff in the camps we have stayed in all operate to the highest standard in all respects. Well done, all! KOSTAS K1 April 2025Verified Wild life and nature at its best at eco friendly but luxurious camps All the safari was very good and well organized. All the camps were from very good to excellent while the food in all three was very good and good variety. The staff in all camps were very professional, friendly and tried to accommodate all the guests needs. The guides were experienced and knowledgeable. The wildlife viewing was great as in Kenya but the scenery and Okavango delta area was just beautiful The whole safari was well organised with no issues, good and professional staff while the activities organized were very special and you really felt that you are very close to nature and wild life but without disturbing them. Just keep up the good work that you are doing. Tim M26 March 2025Verified An epic vacation! Wow, what a trip! I lived in Africa for 8 years and have gone on many safaris in numerous African countries, but my recent trip with Gamewatchers to their Porini Camp in a conservancy outside the Masai Mara was by far the best. Great service, great animal watching, great facilities, and great staff. My family of four traveled with five other families- 18 of us in total- and had an absolutely incredible experience. I can not recommend Gamewatchers and Porini Camps more highly. Wendy H8 March 2025Verified Our experience - start to finish - far exceeded our expectations! We HIGHLY recommend Gamewatchers Safaris and their Porini Bush Camps.Our experience - start to finish - far exceeded our expectations. Our safari planning consultant, Wayne Hammond designed a safari itinerary based on what he heard about our individual desires (husband/wife and female friend). He was very attentive to answering our seemingly never-ending questions.From the moment a Gamewatchers representative met us at the airport at 1:30 am when our flight arrived, to the moment another representative dropped us off at our hotel after the safari, there wasn’t a single hiccup.We chose a fly-in safari staying at three different Gamewatchers’ Porini Bush Camps. Every single staff member was so welcoming and attentive, from the camp managers, guides, chefs and dining staff to everyone else who served us.The three sets of guides were just terrific - so knowledgeable, humorous, and willing to stop for as long as we wanted take pictures or enjoy a scene. The food was good and varied! We particularly enjoyed our bush breakfasts and lunches. The tents were very roomy and nicely appointed. We felt perfectly safe in our tents at night, even though we knew there were animals not too far away. The safari drives themselves were absolutely amazing. Two of us saw the "big five;" and the third saw four of the five. It was really a thrill to see three of the four prides in Olare Motorogi Conservancy, cheetahs on two occasions including right at the airstrip the day we flew out of Lion Camp, and not one but two leopards together (mom and juvenile cub). The guides were as enthusiastic about spotting a big herd of elephants as they were for a small bat-eared fox or dozens of colorful birds.We were drawn to Gamewatchers because of their commitment to conservation and to working with and supporting the Maasai people. Staying in conservancies meant fewer crowds and the flexibility to drive off-road, go on a night-safari and a walking safari if we chose. We very much enjoyed our visit to a local Maasai village and learning about their daily life and culture.We whole-heartedly give Gamewatchers and Porini Camps five stars!Bruce WynnKaren Rotko-WynnWendy Hatch
