10 Day Porini Grand Kenya Safari
9 NIGHTS / 10 DAYS
Elephant Watching & Big Cats Safari
Experience Kenya’s iconic landscapes and wildlife on this immersive 7-day fly-in safari that takes you far from the crowds and deep into the heart of nature. Your journey begins in the remote Selenkay Conservancy, part of the greater Amboseli ecosystem, where open plains, acacia woodlands, and sweeping views of Mount Kilimanjaro form the backdrop to unforgettable encounters with some of Africa’s largest elephant herds.
Next, take a scenic bush flight to the world-famous Masai Mara region, where you’ll stay within the 18,700-acre Ol Kinyei Conservancy — a pioneering community-owned reserve rich in wildlife and protected from mass tourism. Here, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, and wildebeest roam freely, and guests enjoy exclusive activities not permitted in national parks: off-road driving, guided bush walks, and night game drives led by expert Maasai guides.
Throughout the itinerary, you’ll stay at two award-winning Porini Camps, intimate eco-camps designed for comfort without compromising the wild setting. With just a handful of tents in each location, the atmosphere remains personal and peaceful — letting nature set the pace.
All inter-camp transfers are by scheduled bush flights, reducing travel time and offering stunning aerial views of Kenya’s varied terrain. Whether you’re watching elephants at a waterhole, tracking big cats across golden plains, or sharing stories around the campfire, this safari promises deep connection, exceptional wildlife viewing, and the rare privilege of exploring Kenya’s best-kept wilderness areas.
