About Porini Rhino Camp

Eco-friendly remote Kenyan tented camp with a basic comfort and style.
Porini Rhino Camp lies in a secluded part of Kenya’s Ol Pejeta Conservancy at the foothills of the Aberdare Mountains, with the magnificent snow-capped Mount Kenya as the backdrop. This is a fairly basic camp with a simple tented design which has a minimal impact on the environment, so this would appeal to conservation-minded travellers looking for a genuine safari experience and great game viewing without over-the-top luxury. The camp lies along a seasonal stream with a small waterhole nearby, attracting a steady stream of wildlife – something to be aware of at all times, as the camp is unfenced.

Property details

The property

The central guest tent consists of a spacious dining room with roll-down sides, where meals are served around the communal dining table, a comfortable lounge overlooking the surrounding bush, and a small bar. Rustic colours blend into the natural surroundings, and furnishings are basic yet practical, with chunky wooden chairs, inviting loungers and several quiet corners to relax with a book or a cold drink. In front is a veranda with canvas seats set around coffee tables, and a campfire.

The rooms

Seven canvas en-suite tents are spaced nicely apart, facing out onto the plains and waterhole. Colourful rugs cover the vinyl floors, and furnishings are simple, unfussy and functional. Each tent has a double and a single bed, with a small writing desk and a veranda in front with a table and chairs. A curtain separates the bathroom from the bedroom area. Flush toilets, running water, bucket showers with hot water on request, and solar lanterns keep things simple yet comfortable.

Activities

Game viewing activities consist of early morning and late afternoon drives, all led by Maasai guides dressed in traditional attire. Guided bush walks are also offered and often end with spear-throwing displays. Expect to see all of the Big Five species, pods of hippo in the permanent waterways, and packs of rare African wild dogs. Birdwatching is equally rewarding. Visits to the nearby rhino and chimpanzee sanctuaries can be arranged. Activities are flexible and geared towards guests’ personal interests.
