The local Maasai community has set aside the Selenkay Conservancy as a reserve for wildlife and in return is receiving an income from tourism activities. This is used to fund community projects such as schools and water supplies.
Employment opportunities have also been provided for the local Maasai people as game rangers, trackers, and camp staff. Apart from the management and Head chef, all other staff in the camp and Conservation Area are members of the local Maasai community.
The 70kms of roads in the Conservation Area were constructed using local labour so that members of the community gained employment. As a result of the establishment of the Conservation Area, wildlife numbers have recovered significantly in recent years and elephants are now seen frequently after an absence of nearly 20 years. Selenkay Conservation Area lies in the heart of Maasailand, well off the beaten track, and has not been visited by tourists until very recently. The animals are truly wild and tend to behave more naturally than those in the parks, which are often habituated to the presence of vehicles.
Our Porini Camps are run and maintained with the conservation of the environment at the forefront. We have a written environmental policy in regards to water, land, energy, solid waste and sewage which is adhered to by the camp management.
The numbers of tourist visitors are being limited to retain the wild and unspoilt nature of the area and to minimize the impact on the environment. |

| Our Kenya safari was such a memorable experience and we wanted to let you know how our stay at the Porini Camps made all the difference! We read about the crowds in places like the Masai Mara and almost decided to go elsewhere. But then we received the Porini package and we were convinced that Kenya will deliver a true safari experience. The exclusivity of the wildlife conservancies are ideal for... |
