Gamewatchers Safaris & Porini Camps Bewertungen 

Unbelievable 5* experience! Great people, unbelievable camp setup, and the animals were beyond description. Can't say enough about Porini Mara and the entire experience!

We had an excellent time. This was a celebration that my wife and I were hosting for our 25th wedding anniversary and we had 20 people stay in the Lion Camp and it was exclusively booked for us. We were treated so well and we had the head Chef be with us to take care of the dietary needs of our group which had older people and folks that needed Indian vegetarian food and jain food. We are extremely well taken care of and felt very much at home. The game drives were amazing as well

Overall we would highly recommend this to our friends.

Thanks again to your team - Pranay, Frederick - the camp manager and others who helped us

An excellent experience. Beautiful, surprising location near the river. The accommodation and service were of very high quality, with excellent touches, such as morning coffee being brought to our tent before the morning game drive.

Amazing experience, knowledgible guides, excellent meals and accommadation, helpful freindly staff

Everyone associated with Gamewatchers was very kind and they all did a great job!

We live in Kenya and have experienced several safaris over the years, and Porini Cheetah Camp remains among the very best. We are repeat guests.

What sets it apart is the privacy, the warm, personal welcome from the hosts, and the exceptional quality of the game drives. The conservancy setting allows for uncrowded, respectful wildlife viewing, and the lodge is particularly ideal for lion sightings.

Our safari experience was absolutely incredible, truly a trip of a lifetime. We saw every animal we could have hoped for and more. Some standout moments included watching a herd of elephants with their babies cross directly in front of our vehicle in Amboseli National Park, along with more lions than we ever expected to see. Every moment felt magical and unforgettable.

The guides were exceptional, especially Thompson and Edison at the Amboseli Porini Camp. Their deep knowledge, passion for the wildlife, and warm personalities made our game drives so special. We left feeling like we had made lifelong friends.

The hospitality and accommodation exceeded expectations. While tented, the rooms were incredibly comfortable and offered all the amenities of a high-end hotel. The food was fantastic, and the thoughtful touches throughout our stay made the experience truly stand out: welcome drinks, hot water bottles tucked into the bed at night, beautifully arranged sundowners, morning wake-up calls with coffee and tea, warm water for a morning face wash, and cosy flannel-lined ponchos for chilly game drives. These details showed such care and made us feel so well looked after.

We would return in a heartbeat and have already been recommending Porini to everyone we know. Thank you for creating such a special and memorable safari for us.

Our Safari experience was simply Excellent and every other superlative adjective one could use. EVERY single person we encountered at the Porini camps and game drives were fantastic. I can't say enough about these Maasai gentlemen. So knowledgeable and kind!
It is my sincere hope that we can visit Kenya again with our children.

The booking, changes needed, experiences on holiday were all above and beyond. The Gamewatchers model of working with communities really is working and the Masai are clearly delighted with how this. We did the 9 day safari which gave us insights into different environments and animals. The safari was so good that we are planning another, something we rarely repeat. However we will have 3 nights in some camps next time as we were on the move every other day which was tiring. As a first experience it was a Wonderful Holiday with very very willing Masai staff and guides. Thank you

Our stay at the Porini Giraffe Camp was nothing short of excellent. Our guides Ken and George were amazing, the manager Jimny and the rest of the staff were wonderful, and the booking process with Rick was seamless. They also care about conservation and doing right by the animals and environment. 10/10 would stay at any porini camp again, but definitely hope to return to giraffe camp one day.

My husband and I are coming up on a week, since being on Safari and still it is all we can think about! Gamewatchers made everything simpler and so much more enjoyable than it might have been.

At a time when, everywhere I turn, people and organizations are vying for attention, Gamewatchers seems to put their collective energy into creating the best possible experience for their clients and then trusting those clients to go out and spread the word. It was incredibly refreshing! And no hidden costs!

Because going on Safari had been a life-long dream, I hoped my expectations would not disappoint. They did not. We saw and experienced everything we wanted to in Porini Amboseli, Amboseli National Park and Porinin Mara...our choices.

The Maasai taught us about the Big Five, the Small Five and the Ugly Five. That said, I went with my own personal five. Four were animals I hoped to see and the fifth was getting to know the Maasai people. I realized all five.

The men lead and served us in the camps. In addition, we visited a Maasai village, near Amboseli, where we met the Maasai women and children. It was joy, pure joy.

Traditionally, the women create various arts, mostly beaded jewelry and make it available to us with absolutely no pressure to purchase. To meet these artists gave more meaning to the pieces I brought home.

From the morning wake-up coffee/tea call, to being walked back to our tent each night, there was a connection with these beautiful, strong Maasai men. They were present not only to our needs, but also seemed to have a genuine interest in our lives.

Of course, we saw lots of animals, and up close, too. Our guides and trackers took us through the bush and out on the Savannah morning, afternoon and night. At the close of each run, we enjoyed a scrumptious meal.

In short, I would take the exact same trip all over again. Gamewatchers and the Maasai people will hold a place in my heart forever…and I can be quite particular.

Gamewatchers attention to detail was superb. From being met at Nairobi airport when we arrived, all the small planes we travelled on between Porini Camps and our return to Nairobi airport for departure, the planning went like clockwork. Every camp had fantastic staff, knowledgeable guides and the food was wonderful. Thank you Kristy and Gamewatchers. You made our Safari a lifetime of memories.

This is the third time I have used Gamewatchers to book our Kenya safari. From the
start of booking to the finish of our trip, everything has been superb. Zuhura put together our trip on each occasion and made changes for me when I wanted to add places or amend anything. She was extremely thorough, professional and informative throughout the whole process. Once landing in Kenya we were greeted by a Gamewatchers' representative and all information about our trip was discussed with us again. We took many internal flights and everything was organised to the smallest detail. Our guides met us at the airstrips and you never felt unsure about anything, right up until the time we were dropped back at the airport. I highly recommend Gamewaters Safaris and we definitely use them again on our next trip.

The staff and accomodation were brilliant. The animals were abundant and I cannot say how wonderful the trip was

We were treated like royalty from start to finish. From the moment Edith met us at the airport to the moment she said goodbye as she brought us to TSA, we had every need met. We visited Amboseli, Rhino Camp, and Lion Camp.
We loved all the camps. At Amboseli, our guides (Amos & Melina) were excellent. At Rhino camp we had John and Ben. We also absolutely love David at Rhino camp and Joel, the dining steward, was a delight to be around. Lion Camp may be our favorite because of the variety and abundance of wildlife. Wilfred, our guide, is so much fun to spend time with and Daniel in the dining tent was a breath of fresh air with his smile and ready laugh. And I can’t forget Jonas who took such good care of us! Truthfully the best part of the Porini camps are the people. They always make you feel so welcome and special.
I don’t want to fail to mention the food! It’s amazing what the chef produces out in the bush! As I write this, I kiss my fingers… incredible!

From the moment we landed in Nairobi Gamewatchers guided us around that city, and then welcomed us to three of their camps, Porini Amboseli, Rhino, and Mara, and took us on drives around the conservancies and National Parks and Reserves. The accommodation in the camps was excellent, with attention to our comfort, and their guides, local to Kenya, knew where the animals were, got us CLOSE and kept us SAFE. A magnificent stay in a beautiful country. Thanks Gamewatchers!

Great safari experience in all ways (sightings of a variety of mammals and birds, personalized drives, knowledgeable guides, great hospitality, comfortable lodging in the "bush", and attention to detail. The icing on the cake is the conservation and respect for the local culture model that drives the company. Our trip was a true experience in many ways.

The Porini Giraffe Camp is a terrific experience. Thoughtful, thorough staff. Excellent game drives. Beautiful location. Good food. Spectacular sundowners.

Amazing experience! Superb camps, very well organised, delicious food, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Exceeded all our expectations, which were high anyway.
