Porini Lion Camp

An adventure that everyone should have. The camp accommodations were great and the animals roaming around at night were never a concern, but a delight. Chris and Julius, our driver and spotter, were superb in sharing their knowledge and finding the right spot to observe the animals. Even at the camp there were always animals to observe across the pond. All in all an unforgettable experience.

A truly wonderful experience in mid October for our family of 4 . Having transferred overland from Porini Mara Camp (and before that flew up from Porini Selenkay/Amboseli) , we stayed 3 nights in this remakable place. We could not fault it and had a special time in EVERY way. Thank you Team Porini and Gamewatchers – we have no hesitation to strongly recommending you. All of the Team were super, but we could not leave without a special mention to our guide and driver , Geoff, who we were blessed to have with us for 7 days. He taught us so much and made us laugh lots (and handled us well!) Thank you.

Lion Camp is larger than the other two camps we stayed at (Mara and Cheetah) so we had further to walk to our tents. There was a “media tent” with wifi which was popular, particularly with American visitors! Our guides Chris and Wilfred gave us a fantastic experience watching leopard cubs and their mother in the pouring rain, as well as cheetahs hunting and killing, and lions being less lucky. Thankfully we were spared a crush of safari vehicles (like in the main Reserve) and enjoyed the relative peace and quiet.

We stayed here for 3 nights in tent number 7. Since it was our forth camp we expected to see much of the same as we so earlier, but each camp has its own charm, meaning different people/sceneries on every gamedrive. Morning gamedrives with breakfast and chatting with maasai nature guides is something to remember for long time. One night we woke up because of some noise, a big hippo was grassing right outside our tent, a special feeling.

We so enjoyed our 3 nights stay at Porini Lion Camp! Amazing wildlife – especially all the lions! The driver/guide and camp staff were all excellent and we will take away very fond memories. We highly recommend this camp through Gamewatchers.

I love cats. The lions weren’t at all bothered by our vehicle. And there weren’t other vehicles around.
Everything was so well planned. We in a vehicle by ourselves, so easy to see the animals. Food was excellent. Staff very helpful..

The Porini Lion Camp is a very special place, and I greatly cherish the time we spent there. It was a fabulous vacation on every level. Not to mention the incredible wildlife sightings we had! We spotted so many lions and lionesses and cubs, a beautiful female leopard, a pair of adult male cheetahs, hippos, ostriches… it was awesome.
