Porini Cheetah Camp, Ol Kinyei Conservancy, Masai Mara, Kenya
A Tented Camp in Kenya
Camp Details
An all-inclusive 3 day / 2 night flying safari tour
The Ol Kinyei conservancy, where this African camp is located, is exclusive to Porini Camps and plays host to just one other non-seasonal camp which makes for an extraordinarily intimate wildlife experience, with very few other cars sharing your sightings. The conservancy safari is a recognized hotspot for the big cats and especially cheetahs, which are seen regularly, often with cubs. It is also home to large herds of elephants, apart from the plains game for which the Maasai Mara eco-system is justly famous. Safari drives can also be taken in the nearby Maasai Mara National Reserve and the adjacent Naboisho Conservancy.
The Porini Cheetah Camp is located close to the Olare Lemunyi watercourse, between the White Rock feature on the one hand and a marsh fed by a permanent underground spring that is a magnet for the antelopes and zebras, especially in the dry season. The White Rock is an excellent location for sun downers because of the view from the top.
WHY CHOOSE PORINI CHEEETAH CAMP?
- Morning, evening and night shared game drives in Ol Kinyei Conservancy and the adjacent Naboisho Conservancy. (Private vehicles available at a supplement).

Questions about Porini Cheetah
Is Porini Cheetah sold as a package rather than per night?
Yes. It is offered as an all-inclusive three-day, two-night flying safari, with rates quoted per person per tour from US$1,745. That covers the flight-based structure of the trip rather than a nightly bed rate, so comparisons with per-night camps need care.
Why do Indian travellers often choose this camp?
What sets Porini Cheetah apart is its focus on Indian guests, from fans in the tents to Indian cuisine and the style of hospitality. We have known the hosts, Jui and Nirmalya Banerjee, for some years and rate their enthusiasm for the wildlife and people of Kenya.
How busy are the sightings in Ol Kinyei?
The conservancy is exclusive to Porini Camps and hosts just one other non-seasonal camp, so very few other vehicles share your sightings. It is a recognised hotspot for big cats, cheetah especially, often with cubs, and drives also run in neighbouring Naboisho and the Maasai Mara National Reserve.

Our Thoughts on Porini Cheetah Camp
We met Jui and Nirmalaya, the hosts of Porini Cheetah Camp, a few years ago in Nairobi. We loved their enthusiasm and passion for the wildlife and people of Kenya. What sets Porini Cheetah apart from some other camps in the Mara is their focus on Indian needs — from fans to Indian cuisine to the hospitality. We are certain you will have a fabulous here!
