The Porini Rhino Camp in Kenya, East Africa, is located within the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Laikipia, a vast wildlife viewing region between the Aberdares and Mount Kenya.

The Ol Pejeta Conservancy is home to a great variety of wildlife including the “Big Five”. Being the largest sanctuary in East Africa for the endangered Black Rhino, it is also known for being a sanctuary for rescued chimpanzees.

The Porini Rhino Camp nestles in a secluded valley magnificently positioned on the banks of a seasonal river, under the shade of acacia trees. This traditional African style safari camp features seven comfortably furnished and spacious Safari Tents. Each of the tents has been set up to maximize the stunning surrounding views. Equipped with solar-power lighting, the tents are complete with en-suite bathrooms featuring hot showers and flush toilets.

Guests enjoy safari drives during the day and night as well as thrilling walking safaris, refreshing sundowners, and a visit to Baraka the Black Rhino as well as a visit to the Chimpanzee Sanctuary. This conservancy in Kenya ensures superior wildlife-viewing and safari drives in open-sided, off-road 4×4 safari vehicles which are driven by expert safari guides.

At the Morani Information Center visitors have the opportunity to learn about various wildlife species which live on Ol Pejeta, topics range from anatomy and behaviour to habitat. It also provides guests with an insight into how the Ol Pejeta Conservancy works daily to safeguard wildlife and to preserve the untamed wilderness.

Lion Tracking on the Ol Pejeta Conservancy makes for an extraordinary experience. Participants support the conservation project and learn about these amazing animals. The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary is a mutual organization between the Kenyan Wildlife Services and The Jane Goodall Institute. Established as a refuge for confiscated and orphaned chimpanzees, visitors may observe them on an island which is accessible only by boat.
