Offering an exclusive safari experience with just six tents, Mara Porini is located within the stunning Ol Kinyei Conservancy, one of the Serengeti-Mara’s most beautiful wilderness areas.

The only camp within the 7,000 hectare conservancy, Porini Mara offers a wonderful safari experience in the Masai Mara at an affordable price. The six tents are comfortably furnished, set under the shade of acacia trees, and have an en suite bathroom with hot shower and flushing toilet. 

Activities are included, consisting of day and night game drives, sundowners and escorted walks. Safaris in four-wheel-drive vehicles with some of the country's best guides allow you to experience the exclusive wilderness of Ol Kinyei and the adjacent Naboisho Conservancies without the presence of other vehicles. 

Porini Mara has its own airstrip for private charter flights, but lies only 16 kilometres, i.e. just over 30 minutes' drive, from Siana airstrip, which is served by daily scheduled flights from Nairobi.
