More Information

Set amidst the unspoiled wilderness of the 13,000-acre Selenkay Conservancy, Porini Amboseli Camp offers a truly immersive safari experience, far removed from the crowded tourist trails of Kenya’s national parks. This exclusive eco-camp is the only accommodation within the conservancy, giving guests unmatched access to vast savannahs, acacia woodlands, and a thriving wildlife population—all in complete privacy.

Porini Amboseli Camp is a shining example of low-impact, sustainable tourism. With only nine guest tents and one spacious family tent, the camp prioritizes comfort, authenticity, and environmental sensitivity. Each tent includes king or twin beds, a writing desk, private veranda, charging points, and an ensuite bathroom with a flushing toilet and safari shower. Powered entirely by solar energy and constructed using eco-friendly materials, the camp is designed to leave no lasting footprint on the land—so much so that, with a few rains, nature would reclaim the space within weeks if the camp were ever moved.

The safari experience at Porini Amboseli Camp is exceptional. Daily game drives explore both the Selenkay Conservancy and the renowned Amboseli National Park, where views of Mount Kilimanjaro provide a dramatic backdrop to unforgettable wildlife sightings. Guests enjoy guided walks with Maasai warriors, night game drives, picnic breakfasts, bush lunches, sundowners, and even the option for a romantic safari wedding. For those seeking deeper cultural engagement, visits to local villages and schools offer insight into Maasai traditions and a chance to support grassroots development.

Community support is at the heart of everything Porini does. The camp provides employment and training for local Maasai, funds community programs, and channels 100% of donations through the Wildlife Habitat Trust to vital initiatives in education, healthcare, and sustainable livelihoods—such as beekeeping programs for youth. This unique model of tourism ensures that conservation is not only sustainable, but deeply rooted in the well-being of the people who call this land home.

What Porini Amboseli Camp Guests Say About Us...

We stayed 3 nights at Porini Amboseli. 5 star bush accommodations with warmth and attention to detail. The food was excellent, the campfire welcoming. The nights were chilly so the warm water bottles in our beds and the morning french-press coffee delivery were awesome touches. Their expert guides, local to the area, show you the animals up close, and keep you safe. Their ability to read the tracks and the environment was amazing. We saw SO MUCH !!! In every way our stay at Porini Amboseli exceeded our expectations and made a wonderful introduction for me to Kenya!

A true safari experience. It was a wonderful trip as we were treated so well and saw and learned so much. We felt like all of the staff became family.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience here. We went with our three children and our parents (7 of us total). The staff was absolutely incredible. Our Maasai guides (Thompson, Melita, Edson, Frank) were INCREDIBLE - tracking the animals, answering ALL our questions (and believe me, we had LOTS), teaching us about the Maasai tribe (we visited both a village and a local school), and showing our children how to spot animals, identify tracks, shoot arrows, and even brush their teeth in the bush. The staff at the camp was equally great. Jackson and Olegela played Jenga and Snakes and Ladders with us at night and had the best personalities. Finally, the wildlife was abundant. We heard elephants and lions at night, saw a cheetah with her cubs, giraffes, elephants, lions and cubs, and so many different types of birds. We had sundowners (cocktails at sunset) on a deck overlooking at times a heard of more than 30 elephants and breakfast in the bush watching the wildlife wander by. I recommend this camp to everyone and anyone looking to check Africa off their bucket list!

We have now stayed at this camp four times and thoroughly enjoy the intimate nature of the camp, as well as the surrounding wildlife, especially the elephants. Just outside camp is a waterhole where they often come to drink in the evening, so you can have your sundowners watching the elephants having theirs. The waterhole attracts other animals as well, and on our most recent trip we were able to watch giraffes drinking, a precarious exercise for them. Mount Kilimanjaro can be seen from many places in the Conservancy, and makes a great backdrop to photos when it is not shrouded in mist The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the skills of the guides are excellent. We are already planning our next visit.

Fantastic experience at Porini Amboseli Camp! Everyone made us feel super welcome and took great care of us. Our guide Thomson was the best! So friendly, and super knowledgeable about nature and animals. The food at this camp was also amazing. The room was very comfortable. It's in the middle of nowhere, surrounded with wildlife. It's a bit far from the Amboseli reserve itself but on the way you already see plenty of animals in the conservancy. 100% recommended!

The Amboseli Camp was my favorite camp because I really enjoyed the remoteness of it. It was very well run and the food was amazing. The game drive guides were very experienced and knowledgable about the animals and the game parks. I highly recommend Porini Amboseli Camp for anyone seeking an exceptional African safari experience.

My solo travels have since taken me through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, Namibia, and Kenya, where I experienced Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps firsthand. It was during these immersive and unforgettable journeys that my passion for Africa evolved into a clear vision: to join the Gamewatchers team and help others discover the magic of safari.
