Mara Porini Camp.
Mara Porini Camp is a
small, exclusive camp situated on the Maasai-owned Ol
Kinyei Wildlife Conservancy. The camp is about 18 km -
20 or 30 minutes drive - from the boundary of the Masai
Mara Reserve. Additionally Porini Camp is involved in
the running of the conservancy and through this
partnership the local community receives a funds from
the profits.
The conservancy is pristine
wilderness with open savannah plains, riverine forest,
springs, streams and rolling hills with spectacular
views across the Masai Mara. Porini Camp consists of
only six tents primarily to avoid it having a
detrimental impact on the wildlife and ecology. Porini
literally means ‘in the wilds’ and that is exactly the
aim rather than trying fence it out, big lodge style.
Porini is an open camp meaning that it is not uncommon
for them to have nightly visits from grazing buffalo and
elephants. Consequently Maasai guides accompany guests
to their tents, ensuring their safety.
The camp itself sits in an
Acacia grove beside a small stream in the 35 square
kilometre reserve. It contains just 6 well equipped and
furnished double tents on raised wooden platforms, each
with its own shower room and toilet. The spacious Mess
tent has comfortable sitting and dining areas, a 24 hour
self service bar and provides a varied menu of first
class meals.
