Gamewatchers Safaris & Porini Camps Reviews 

We have been with Gamewatchers and Porini camps now since 2010. That really says it all. Superb safaris, guiding, camps and people. Most of all the drive to integrate local communities with the conservation effort is hugely commendable. The dedication to protect Kenya’s true heritage - its bush and its culture - is an example for all safari companies, and all other countries, to follow. Please keep up the great work and we look forward to more wonderful safaris with you.

Had the best time in June 2019. First trip to Africa could not fault the service, guides and the camps. From start to finish it was the best memories ever made. My major bucket list crossed off.Thanks Gamewatchers.😘🙏🏻

My husband and I have been on 3 safaris with Gamewatchers. Each trip was beyond amazing! We have stayed at 4 Porini camps; Amboseli, Rhino, Mara and Lion. Each camp is special and offers eco friendly camps. The game drives, drivers and spotters are amazing. Needless to say we will be returning for a 4th visit in the near future.

My wife and I have made two safaris with Game Watchers. Over the past two years. We have visited all their Kenya camps except the Cheetahcamp. All fantastic! No crowds,super guides,food and accommodations very good, and the Toyota vehicles give everyone a excellent viewing opportunity. I can,t imagine any other company that could be better.

I have been to the Porini camps several times - without a doubt, they are the best for safari viewing - ask for Jackson...everyone who gets him as their guide always comes back to see him again - he is just wonderful!

Gamewatchers Safari and Porini Cheetah camp are both excellent. I would recommend both to anyone wanting a great adventure.
Gamewatchers were excellent in helping us decide on our trip. They were available at anytime to answer our questions!
Porini Cheetah Camp was amazing. From the hosts Jui and Nirmalya, to the camp staff lead by John to our driver and spotter Edward and Jackson. They all made us feel so welcome and the food was incredible!
You can't go wrong choosing these two!

My wife and I visited in August - September 2019. It was our first Safari. Wayne from the UK was handling our planning, he made it sound too good to be true and to be honest there were times during the planning stage that we thought we were going to be disappointed since he got our expectations very high. It all sounded too good to be true. Damn, true it was. We spent 3 nights each at Amboseli, Rhino and Lion camps. Let me start with a couple of complaints; There weren't enough creepy crawlies in our tents - 2 at the most; the lions were out of key when they decided to give us a close demonstration of their vocals. Now for the good things..fantastic people, fantastic food; fantastic managers; lovely sleeping/living tents, wish i could smile as much as the Masaai people. Each camp is different although they follow the same set up and rules. Each location manager is different but again all go out of their way to ensure you're happy and meeting your goals. The spotters and guides/drivers - what breed. Super people, they are so authentic in their smiles, laughter and going out of their way to make you smile. I miss the bush breakfasts at the Lion camps. You will definitely find cheaper, but not better.

I went on safari with Gamewatchers this passed Oct. Everything was beyond my expectations; the game drives, the Porini camps, the staff, the food, and of coarse the animals! I hope to go back this year. You should go too!

We stayed in three Porini camps, Amboseli, Cheetah and Lion for three nights each! Absolutely amazing, can’t believe we got to see so much up close! The staff exceptional, really got to know our guides and spotters who were knowledgeable and really helpful, food was great, everything exceeded expectations!!
Wayne at Gamewatchers Walked us through the process of itinerary and all the pick ups/hotels in Nairobi.
We thought it would be a once in a life time trip, but now we can’t wait to return and would highly recommend Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps.

If you want a safari experience far exceeding any other camp or guide, I highly recommend Gamewatchers and Porini Camps. From our very first inquiry call to a reach out from an email the owner, Jake after we returned, we were treated like their most important client. We stayed at Porini Cheetah Camp and this intimate tented camp is first rate and happily far away from the masses of other tourists. Our camp hosts Jui and Nirmalya and their amazing staff and crew made sure we were well taken care of, including the most delicious meals. We’re already planning our next trip. Choose Gamewatchers and Porini Camps - you’ll be so incredibly happy that you did.

We had been on several safaris before but our trip with Gamewatchers was definitely the very best experience. Everything, from accommodations, to food, to transportation, to guides, to attention to detail and helpfulness of all the staff, I cannot praise too highly. I am an avid photographer and was excited by all the wonderful photo opportunities that were afforded by our very competent guides. We had a wonderful time with them, and my memories will remain for a lifetime, even if I never have another opportunity to travel with them.

Best Safari trip ever, and we’ve been on a few with other companies and in other parts of Africa. Excellent guides, who knew just where to look for some of the more elusive animals, and the best places to get the perfect photograph. Accommodation and food, also excellent, catering also to vegetarians. Stayed at Porini Mara, and Porini Lion. We left with a heavy heart, but it didn’t take long before we have decided to return, this time a trip to Porini Amboseli. We can’t wait!

First timer! A truly transformational experience. My daughter has planned this wonderful experience through gamewatchers and nothing was disappointing. We stayed at three camps: Amboselli, Rhino and Lion Porini camps. The accommodations were superb and the services were first class. The chefs, the staff (all locals of course) and the managers always went beyond their respective duties to insure our confort and enjoyable stay. The guides became our friends and like family during our daily outings and beyond. We have experienced so much in such a short period of time ( 11 days) to last us a lifetime. We cannot forget the wonderful friendships we established along the way with guestS from all over this wonderful planet. Everything that was promised was delivered and much more. We shall be back soon Inshaa Allah (God willIng).

We went on safari to Kenya in October 2019 and everything from beginning to end was the most wonderful experience. Wilson airport was a hoot, local flights were smooth, on time and I’ve almost got over my fear of flying! The 3 camps we stayed at were well run, welcoming, with great food, comfortable tents and our guides and trackers were so knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us. We saw practically all the wildlife we wanted to and have spent many hours since reminiscing and pouring over all our photographs. I think a return might be on the horizon!

This was our second safari with Gamewatchers and it was as spectacular as the first! From the moment they pick you up until dropped back at the airport you are totally taken care of. The Porini camps are so comfortable. The camp managers and staff at all the camps are so friendly and accommodating. The food is delicious. The guides are incredibly knowledgeable and familiar with the area. Before I went to Africa I thought it would be a once in a lifetime adventure. Africa touches the soul in a special way. I loved it so much I had to share it with my daughter. We had the most amazing time at Porini Amoboseli, Mara and Lion camp. I can’t imagine not returning. Already planning our next safari and I know Gamewatchers will make it another unforgettable experience!

We spent 9 nights out in Kenya with game watchers in September, mainly at two porini camps in both the Mara & Amboseli and had a fantastic time - all the details from being met at Jomo Kenyatta airport upon arrival into country to a day room in a Nairobi hotel on our last day plus everything in between was slick, friendly & professional - great job guys
