This 8-day tour explores the capital city of Nairobi, the Amboseli National Park which offers spectacular views of Tanzania's Mt Kilimanjaro, and the Masai Mara National Park which is known for its annual Great Migration.
Kenya is a magnificent country that encompasses savannah, Lakelands, the dramatic Great Rift Valley, and mountain highlands.
Your adventure begins deep inside the Nairobi National Park with an overnight stay at Nairobi Tented Camp, the only camp situated within the park. Your time is spent exploring Kenya's oldest reserve, well known for its Black Rhino Sanctuary and sightings of lions, leopards, hyenas, and other fascinating wildlife.
Your journey continues to the Amboseli National Park, often regarded as the best place in Kenya to see elephants at close range. You will spend two nights at the award-winning Porini Amboseli Camp, which is located in the private Selenkay concession, affording guests incredible game viewing opportunities during game drives that venture off the beaten track.
After an exciting safari experience in Amboseli, you head to the vast 90,000-acre Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a pristine wildlife area between the Aberdares and the majestic Mount Kenya. The conservancy is home to a variety of animals including the Big Five. It is the largest wildlife sanctuary in East Africa for the endangered Black Rhino and also provides sanctuary to rescued chimpanzees. You will spend two nights at Porini Rhino Camp, an intimate bush camp designed to have minimal impact on the environment.
Your safari adventure then takes you to the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, a pristine and exclusive 33,000-acre wilderness. This large area borders the Masai Mara National Reserve and is home to an abundance of animals, particularly the big cats which the Mara is well known for. Typically, during the months of July through early October, the Masai Mara is most popular for the Great Migration.
When not out exploring the African bush, you will spend your time at the intimate Porini Lion Camp, a camp that offers a genuine "away from it all" experience deep in the African bush. During your two-night stay at Porini Lion Camp, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a hot air balloon safari that offers spectacular views of the reserve.
If you are looking for an authentic tented safari experience in some of Kenya's best game reserves, then this tour is the ideal choice.
