My safari experience was awesome! This was the 3rd time I was travelling to Kenya for safaris in 2012 and I can tell that Porini's camps are the best place to do it. Food is excellent, game drives just like a dream! The accomodation in the adventure mobile camps is so nice. We had hot water every morning and hot... More

Our Safari with Gameswatchers was a memorable experience which we thoroughly enjoyed. Amos and Richard at Selenkay were fantastic guides, with great knowledge of where the animals were likely to be and were also great fun to be with. On our trip to Amboseli, Amos managed to get us within feet of elephants crossing the roads on three occasions and... More

I have spent 3 days & nights at the Eselenkei Camp as part of a safaritrip with Gamewatchers Safaris. It was an overwhelming experience !! Although we stayed in a tented camp, it was a most realistic way to experience a safari. I did not miss one minute a room, swimming pool, fitness centre or alike (maybe because I am... More

After spending several days on the internet perusing the multitude of Safari offers, we finally settled on a 7 day Gamewatchers Adventure Camp. BEST decision we ever made. Not only did we visit the well known game parks of Amboseli and Masaai Mara but porini also operate in two absolute private wild life conservancies where you see nothing but yourself... More

We have just returned from our honeymoon in both the Mara and Selenkay, Gamewatchers Adventure Camp. This was simply brilliant and an experience of a lifetime. If you do any other safari experience you WILL miss out on something special. This is not for people who want to soak in a hot tub whilst stuck in a nice posh hotel... More

I can't say enough about the Gamewatchers Adventure Camp at the Selenkay Conservancy! I am already planning on returning as soon as I possibly can! I was there Sept 2012 as a solo traveler and this camp and experience was more than I could have imagined. The Masaai staff at Selenkay are OUTSTANDING, especially Andrew our guide and Richard our...

My cousins and I visited the camp in September 2012. The camp's basic amenities, the rustic atmosphere and the opportunity to live in the wild are unparalleled and something we will revere for a long long time. We would highly recommend this and other Porini camps if you want a memorable safari experience

My hubby and I had 3 fabulous nights here and we will always cherish the wonderful memories we have taken away from the experience. The tents are comfortable and more than adequate. The staff at this camp are so focused on ensuring everyone is comfortable that they provide hot water for showering, blankets etc whenever needed. I'm not sure how... More

What can be said except... EXCELLENT! AWESOME! Would do it all over again! Our Masai hosts were highly skilled, professional, gentle, kind, hospitable and on top of that, warriors! The camp chef Solomon should get several Michelin stars, if he hasn’t got them already, for performing his wonders in the middle of the African bush: fresh cooked, mouth watering food,... More

We booked this one week safari not certain about what we were getting (they make certain you understand THIS IS ADVENTURE CAMPING). We are tent campers, so that was okay with us, we just didn't know what to expect from "the rest." From the planning stages with Caro at Gamewatchers to the very last minute we arrived back in Nairobi,... More
