PORINI CHEETAH CAMP

Launch of a new camp

All India, 7th March 2017: Porini announces the launch of its newest camp, the Porini Cheetah Camp on 1 June, 2017. The brand-new Porini camp is the latest in the Porini portfolio of small tented camps, designed to maximize your wildlife experience. It is hosted by Jui and Nirmalya Banerjee who are avid wildlife enthusiast themselves.

Like the other Porini camps, the Porini Cheetah Camp too, is unfenced and located inside a private conservancy far from the usual safari crowds. It has just six spacious guest tents. The camp is entirely solar-powered and the comfortable tents have en-suite bathrooms with hot shower, flush toilet and water on tap. Qualified guides and spotters take clients on game drives and as the conservancy has a limited number of vehicles (1 vehicle to 1400 acres) and maximum of 1 tent to 700 acres of wilderness, off road driving and night drives are possible.

The Porini Cheetah Camp is located within the Ol Kinyei Conservancy that is entirely managed by Porini and is a recognized hotspot for Cheetahs together with all the wildlife that makes Masai Mara a UNESCO world heritage site. It is close to the Olare Lemunyi watercourse, between the White Rock feature on the one hand and a marsh fed by a permanent underground spring that is a magnet for the antelopes and zebras, especially in the dry season. The White Rock is an excellent location for sun downers because of the view from the top.

The chef uses fresh ingredients to prepare high quality meals and even home-baked bread. Indian cuisine is available on request. Porini Cheetah Camp is fully-inclusive of meals, drinks- gin & tonics, wine, beer, soft drinks and mineral water- and activities including day and night game drives, sundowners and escorted walks.

Conservation & Responsible Tourism
The Porini Safari Camps are environmentally-friendly Eco-Camps that have been established in exclusive Wildlife Conservancies and are carefully managed to ensure that local communities, the environment and visitors benefit from our Conservancy concept which Gamewatchers/Porini pioneered. We ensure that the communities living alongside national parks and reserves derive tangible benefits from conserving the indigenous habitat for wildlife. Visitors gain a superior safari experience in pristine, game-filled areas where the wildlife is safe and protected.

We own and operate Porini Cheetah Camp within Ol Kinyei Conservancy, generating an income and employment opportunities for local people. The community receives rent for the lease of the area by Porini Safari Camps, 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 Conservancy. In addition to the road maintenance team, Game Scouts have been employed to carry out patrols to see that the wildlife is protected.
