Mara Porini Camp is located less than 18kms from the Masai Mara park boundary on the Masai owned Ol Kinyei Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya. Mara Porini Camp is involved in running the conservancy through a partnership with the local community, who receives funds from the profits. Porini means 'in the wilds' and the camp keeps true to its meaning - it is an open safari camp meaning it is not uncommon for nightly visits from grazing buffalo and elephants. Consequently Masai guides accompany guests to the tents, ensuring safety.
The Masai Mara is Kenya's premier game reserve. It has some of the highest concentrations of animals in Africa. It is most famous for the migration of wildebeest and zebra. From July to October, the promise of rain and fresh grass on in the Mara plains attracts more than 1.3 million wildebeest together in a single massive herd. At the Mara River they mass together on the banks before plunging forward through the raging waters, fighting against the currents and waiting crocodiles. You are almost guaranteed to see the big 5 in the Mara. Guests at Mara Porini can expect to see lions throughout the park as well as leopards, cheetah, hyenas, giraffe, impala, wildebeest, topi, baboons, warthogs, buffalo, zebra, elephants, hippos and crocodiles. Because the reserve has no fences you can actually see as much wildlife within its boundaries as outside in the areas inhabited by the Masai tribes. Some of these areas are also not so crowded.
Sarova Mara is a very large safari hotel most suited to families. It is located in the southern section of the reserve. The extensive facilities and the fact that it has a fence around it makes it ideal for families.
