This safari offers the opportunity to stay in small and exclusive safari camps and eco-lodges. We combine some of the best wildlife areas in Kenya with private conservancies where you are able to walk with Masai warriors and guides and venture out for night drives to spot nocturnal animals.

The camps are committed to helping preserve Africa's unique wildlife, landscapes and supporting local communities. The Selenkay Conservancy, a few miles north of Amboseli National Park, is owned by a Masai community and is located in a wilderness area off the beaten track with a vast diversity of wildlife.

Porini Mara Camp has recently been set up in the exclusive wildlife conservancy of Ol Kinyei, one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in the region. The conservancy holds a wide variety of the animal species for which the Mara is famous including a large resident pride of lions. An ideal safari to escape from the crowds. Day and night game drives in 4-wheel drive vehicles, bush walks and superb wildlife viewing.
