More Information

Tucked away in the heart of Kenya’s 90,000-acre Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Porini Rhino Camp offers an extraordinary safari experience where conservation, community, and comfort come together in perfect harmony. This secluded eco-camp is a haven for nature lovers and responsible travelers looking to witness Africa’s iconic wildlife while contributing directly to the protection of endangered species and the upliftment of local communities

Porini Rhino Camp lies amidst unspoiled savannahs, flanked by the Aberdare Mountains and Mount Kenya. 

The camp itself is designed for exclusivity and low-impact living. With just seven guest tents and two family units nestled in a tranquil riverine woodland, Porini Rhino Camp accommodates no more than 14 guests (+ children) at a time, ensuring privacy and a deeply personal connection with nature.

Each tent offers a classic safari style with en-suite facilities, solar-powered lighting, charging points, and a private veranda.

The camp avoids permanent structures and is built with environmentally conscious materials, exemplifying Porini’s ethos of leaving the land as untouched as possible.

Guests can enjoy a wide range of immersive experiences, from expertly guided day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, to walking safaris with Maasai Guides and visits to the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary. For the adventurous, optional horseback or cycling safaris offer unique perspectives of the conservancy. And just beyond, in specially protected enclosures, live some of the most critically endangered animals on Earth - the last two surviving northern white rhinos under round-the-clock protection.

The camp has the benefit of a wildlife viewing hide which enables guests to observe and photograph wildlife safely, yet in close proximity. The hide has been carefully placed to enhance wildlife-viewing right in front of camp, and with the peaceful setting and the animals freely strolling in, guests can really immerse themselves in the surroundings and feel part of nature.

Back at camp, sundowners, stargazing, and fireside dining make for magical evenings under the African sky.

Beyond the wilderness, Porini Rhino Camp tells a greater story. It stands as a model of community-based conservation, where tourism directly funds healthcare, education, and livelihoods for surrounding communities. Long-term land lease agreements and local employment ensure that the benefits of conservation are shared and sustained.

The camp staff are drawn from different Kenyan communities including members of the Maasai community from our conservancy projects at Selenkay in Amboseli and Ol Kinyei and Olare Motorogi in the Mara. 

Guests can connect more deeply by supporting grassroots initiatives like youth beekeeping and school development via the Wildlife Habitat Trust — where 100% of donations go to community projects.

What a great camp! It was a wonderful experience, and we were treated very well. We'd love to go back as we feel as if we have new friends in the bush that want to show us more of their amazing land and ecosystem.
Fantastic game drives, seeing so much wildlife.

It was a wonderful adventure, hearing the lions growl at night. The hot water bottle for the bed was a nice touch. It was very chilly at night and early morning so carry one light winter jacket. The staff was very accommodating.
A Truly Unforgettable Safari Experience – An Absolute Must-Stay
Nadia J - June 2025

Our stay here was nothing short of extraordinary and truly the best trip. This is an absolute must-stay if you're planning a safari in Kenya, as the entire service was simply excellent. Our safari guides, Dalton, Baxon, and Eric provided us with an unforgettable experience as their knowledge and passion for wildlife and nature ensured we got close encounters and saw all the exotic animals on our list - lions, rhinos, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, etc – truly everything we dreamed of seeing and more! Back at the lodge, DJ, Joel, and the entire team continued to exceed our expectations. The staff are not only incredibly hardworking and attentive but also genuinely kind, humorous and receptive to every need. The food was exquisite, the rooms were comfortable and beautifully appointed, and the evening entertainment and animal sightings around the camp were perfectly managed, adding to the magic of our stay. This remarkable experience is a testament to the dedication of everyone involved. We cannot recommend this lodge highly enough and eagerly anticipate our next visit!
A Wonderful Beginning to Our Safari

What a great welcome DG and his staff gave us to Kenya! From the moment we were picked up at the airstrip, we experienced the wonder. The animals at the water hole seemed to be there to greet us for lunch. For a photography buff like myself, the hide was a real treat. The nights were cold but made cozy by the hot water bottles placed in the beds.The afternoons were warm and perfect for relaxing and watching the animals at the hole and the savanna! Thanks Porini Rhino Camp for a great start to our safari!
Amazing Camp & Experience

What a fabulous camp and experience! This was the 1st of 3 camps on our 10 night safari in January and we loved it. Our tent was spacious, well appointed and comfortable (love the hot water bottles in the beds after dinner). Our tent faced onto a large watering hole that saw a huge array of animals of every kind daily. There is also a blind that one can sit in right at one end of the watering hole, but it was very hot in there when we checked it out and frankly, the views from our tent with the addition of a long lens for my camera were more than wonderful. The game drives were awesome - saw so many wonderful animals and our guides John and Fred were fabulous - great spotters and super knowledgeable. Morning drives featured a wonderful picnic breakfast. And on our 1st morning drive we were fortunate to find a beautiful cheetah who we followed for almost 2 hours that culminated in a chase and kill of a young warthog. Really cannot say enough about this camp - the staff were awesome. They really cannot do enough for you. The location is superb - I think arguably this was our favourite camp of the 3 we went to, although they were all fabulous.
