A diverse three-centre safari in Kenya's Masai Mara, Amboseli and Ol Pejeta Reserves, staying in good quality, eco-friendly Porini camps.
From the big cats and annual migration of the Masai Mara, to the huge elephant herds of the Amboseli, and the diverse wildlife of Ol Pejeta Reserve, this safari will give you an exciting insight into the variety of Kenya's landscape and wildlife.
If you take this trip between about July and October the annual wildebeest migration should be in the Mara which gives as added special aspect to the trip, but the wildlife viewing should be excellent at most times through the year (perhaps avoiding the main rainy months of April and May).
From day one you will be met and assisted from place to place. You have on road trip from Nairobi to Amboseli, but all other main journeys are flights.
The Porini camps are excellent quality small camps. They have an authentic safari camp atmosphere, and whilst they are quite rustic, they are very comfortable. They have en-suite bathrooms with solar-power and other eco-friendly initiatives to reduce their impact on the sensitive environments they are placed within. The Masai Mara and Amboseli camps are in conservancies owned by Maasai communities who benefit from tourism. Conservation also benefits from the camps' presence as the Maasai have more reason to protect the wildlife.
The guides at the camps are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing their passion for their home. You will return home with some incredible memories to treasure.
You'll be met when you arrive into Nairobi airport and transferred (shared) by road for 3-4 hours to your first safari camp, Porini Amboseli Camp. You'll be shown to your tent and will have time to relax after your journey. Time permitting you could take a game drive or visit a Maasai village for an insight into their daily lives. Your drive culminates in sundowners overlooking Kilimanjaro. Back in camp you can get to know fellow guests over a delicious dinner. You should sleep well on your first night in Kenya, ready for a busy day tomorrow. Full board
Bidding farewell to the staff at Rhino Camp you'll head back to the airstrip for the flight to the Masai Mara and the 25 minute transfer to Porini Lion Camp. The camp is in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, bordering the world-famous Masai Mara Game Reserve, a fitting final destination for your safari. Settle in and enjoy lunch and tea before a game drive or guided walk in this wildlife-rich area. Sundowners in a specially chosen spot will round off the experience, then you'll head back for a hot shower before sitting down to dinner. Full board
