7 Days - This 6 nights, 7 days Safari combines three properties that complement each other – Amboseli Porini Camp in the 'private' Selenkay Conservancy, then Mara Porini Camp in the private Ol Kinyei Conservancy, part of the famous Maasai Mara eco-system, followed by Porini Lion Camp in the Olare Orok Conservancy adjacent to the Massai Mara Reserve. The Safari Camps are small and exclusive and run on the same principles - working closely with the local communities.
