"Wilderness Fly-Drive Safari" - (8 Days / 7 Nights)
 A Simply Stylish Safari!  

A highly recommended 8-day safari staying in exclusive smaller safari camps offering comfortable accommodation located in private wilderness conservancies.

Accommodation is in three camps that complement each other perfectly - staying first at Amboseli Porini Camp in the Selenkay Conservancy, then Porini Rhino Camp in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, followed by Mara Porini Camp in the Masai Mara reserve or Porini Lion Camp in the Olare Orok Conservancy adjacent to the Mara Reserve.
