Amboseli Porini Camp

The Selenkay Conservacy lies a few miles north of Amboseli National Park and is an important dispersal area and rangeland for wildlife migrating out of Amboseli.  In May 1997, a Kenyan organisation called Porini Ecotourism agreed with the local Maasai community to set aside the area for a reserve for wildlife, so that the habitat could be protected and wildlife conserved.  The community are receiving a rent for the lease of the area by Porini Ecotourism, plus an entry fee for each tourist visitor.  All roads have been constructed using local labour so that the members of the community gain employment from the Conservation area.  In addition to the road maintenance team, Game Scouts have been employed to carry out patrols to see that the wildlife is protected.  Gamewatchers Safaris is supporting the conservation of wildlife through the community at Selenkay, and is operating daily safaris from Nairobi each week staying at their Porini Camp.  All transport on this safari is in a specially designed open-sided Landrover 4 wheel drive safari vehicle.  Going on safari in a 'proper' safari vehicle gives a far better safari experience than traveling in the minibus vans with window seats used by other tour operators!  And as Selenkay Conservation Area is a private game reserve you will not see any other vehicles or minibuses.
