We had a fantastic time at Porini Mara Camp. The food was amazing and our game drives were unbelievable! We saw dozens of elephants, hundreds of zebras and wildebeast and gazelles and topi, not to... See more

If you want a safari experience far exceeding your expectations!
If you want a safari experience far exceeding any other camp or guide, I highly recommend Gamewatchers and Porini Camps. From our very first inquiry call to a reach out from an email the owner, Jake after we returned, we were treated like their most important client. We stayed at Porini Cheetah Camp and this intimate tented camp is first rate and happily far away from the masses of other tourists. Our camp hosts Jui and Nirmalya and their amazing staff and crew made sure we were well taken care of, including the most delicious meals. We’re already planning our next trip. Choose Gamewatchers and Porini Camps - you’ll be so incredibly happy that you did.
best Safari ever.
We had been on several safaris before but our trip with Gamewatchers was definitely the very best experience. Everything, from accommodations, to food, to transportation, to guides, to attention to detail and helpfulness of all the staff, I cannot praise too highly. I am an avid photographer and was excited by all the wonderful photo opportunities that were afforded by our very competent guides. We had a wonderful time with them, and my memories will remain for a lifetime, even if I never have another opportunity to travel with them.
Best Safari trip ever.
Best Safari trip ever, and we’ve been on a few with other companies and in other parts of Africa. Excellent guides, who knew just where to look for some of the more elusive animals, and the best places to get the perfect photograph. Accommodation and food, also excellent, catering also to vegetarians. Stayed at Porini Mara, and Porini Lion. We left with a heavy heart, but it didn’t take long before we have decided to return, this time a trip to Porini Amboseli. We can’t wait!
A transformational experience!
First timer! A truly transformational experience. My daughter has planned this wonderful experience through gamewatchers and nothing was disappointing. We stayed at three camps: Amboselli, Rhino and Lion Porini camps. The accommodations were superb and the services were first class. The chefs, the staff (all locals of course) and the managers always went beyond their respective duties to insure our confort and enjoyable stay. The guides became our friends and like family during our daily outings and beyond. We have experienced so much in such a short period of time ( 11 days) to last us a lifetime. We cannot forget the wonderful friendships we established along the way with guestS from all over this wonderful planet. Everything that was promised was delivered and much more. We shall be back soon Inshaa Allah (God willIng).
Asante sana
We went on safari to Kenya in October 2019 and everything from beginning to end was the most wonderful experience. Wilson airport was a hoot, local flights were smooth, on time and I’ve almost got over my fear of flying! The 3 camps we stayed at were well run, welcoming, with great food, comfortable tents and our guides and trackers were so knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us. We saw practically all the wildlife we wanted to and have spent many hours since reminiscing and pouring over all our photographs. I think a return might be on the horizon!
Gamewatchers Safari -the only way to see Africa!
This was our second safari with Gamewatchers and it was as spectacular as the first! From the moment they pick you up until dropped back at the airport you are totally taken care of. The Porini camps are so comfortable. The camp managers and staff at all the camps are so friendly and accommodating. The food is delicious. The guides are incredibly knowledgeable and familiar with the area. Before I went to Africa I thought it would be a once in a lifetime adventure. Africa touches the soul in a special way. I loved it so much I had to share it with my daughter. We had the most amazing time at Porini Amoboseli, Mara and Lion camp. I can’t imagine not returning. Already planning our next safari and I know Gamewatchers will make it another unforgettable experience!
From the moment you first speak to them…
From the moment you first speak to them until the moment you get home and think of re-booking you know you have chosen well, very well.
Anything they can do to help is done. Details given are accurate and very useful to both first time travellers and people like us who have travelled lots.
The Porini Camp are fabulous, we have stayed at all of them bar Nairobi Tented camp and have also tried the adventure camps.
They are all different and unique in their own way and all are staffed by locals from the communities that own the land. The whole conservancy project is why we first chose them and why we will continue to use them.
There is nothing that is no just how you hope it would be.
First ever safari!
We spent 9 nights out in Kenya with game watchers in September, mainly at two porini camps in both the Mara & Amboseli and had a fantastic time - all the details from being met at Jomo Kenyatta airport upon arrival into country to a day room in a Nairobi hotel on our last day plus everything in between was slick, friendly & professional - great job guys
