Highlights

Relish the outstanding service of Porini Amboseli Camp's staff members who are wonderfully warm and hospitable and never seem to stop smiling!

Enjoy the best of both worlds and game drive in both the Selenkay Conservancy and Amboseli National Park, and even spoil yourself with a private guide and vehicle (available at an extra cost).

Back at camp, enjoy lantern-lit dinners and night caps beneath the stars, and enjoy the utter tranquility of your surroundings.

The property

Meals at Porini Amboseli are delightful, al fresco affairs, either served in the open-air mess tent, or in the evening, under the glittering stars. Food is rustic and delicious, and just what the doctor ordered after a long day of game drives. In the evening, pull up a pew around the campfire for a night cap and enjoy listening to the tales of the guides, or simply marvelling at the blazing night sky.
