Search for the Big Five in some of Kenya’s most celebrated wildlife areas on our Porini Kifaru safari – an adventure that combines rhino conservation, authentic safari camps, and immersive experiences in the heart of nature. From the very start, the Kifaru Safari offers something unique—your first night is at Nairobi Tented Camp, a classic safari camp nestled in the heart of Nairobi. Next, fly north to the world-renowned Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a pioneering reserve for endangered species and home to the last two northern white rhinos on Earth. Here, you’ll have the chance to track lions, enjoy walking safaris, and even ride near rhinos with expert guides—all while supporting vital conservation efforts.
Your safari then continues to the award-winning Ol Kinyei Conservancy, deep in the Masai Mara ecosystem, where you’ll experience an uncrowded, off-the-beaten-track safari with day and night game drives in 4×4 vehicles, guided bush walks, and awe-inspiring sightings of elephants, big cats, and more. Enjoy sundowners in scenic spots, spot elusive nocturnal wildlife after dark, and walk beside Maasai warriors for a deeper cultural connection to the land.
With seamless fly-in transfers, the Kifaru Safari offers maximum wildlife time and minimum travel fuss. It’s ideal for those seeking an impactful, intimate safari—with conservation at its heart, and the very best of Kenya’s landscapes, wildlife, and culture woven into each day. Optional extensions to Porini Lion Camp in the Masai Mara are also available for guests wanting to stay longer in the wild.

Rachel Chambers
Hi, I’m Rae, based on the West Coast of Canada, on beautiful Vancouver Island. I’m a passionate traveler who has explored nearly 30 countries, but it was a solo journey to Africa that truly transformed my perspective. From the moment I arrived in Botswana, I felt an undeniable connection to the continent and was inspired to spend more time experiencing its extraordinary wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultures. 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. I’d love to connect and plan your wildest dreams!.

Hola, I’m Andrea and my love affair with the captivating world of safaris began during my teenage years when I embarked on my very first safari in Kenya. There, amidst the awe-inspiring wildlife and expansive plains, I found my true passion.
