Porini Rhino Camp, Ol Pejeta Conservancy 

Rhino conservation at its best

Set amongst acacia trees on the banks of a seasonal river, this eco-friendly camp is hidden in a secluded valley in Africa's largest black rhino sanctuary.

Porini Rhino Camp is hidden in a secluded valley in Africa's largest black rhino sanctuary. Ol Pejeta is home to around 105 black rhino, 20 southern white rhino and two northern white rhino. The case of its rare northern white rhino was well-documented in the BBC's Last Chance to See series. Ol Pejeta also has the only chimpanzee sanctuary in Kenya. Game drives are taken in 4x4 safari vehicles with expert safari guides, while guided walks across the open plains are escorted by Maasai warriors. The peaceful setting, with animals freely strolling in, allows guests to really immerse themselves in the natural surroundings.
