Porini Cheetah Camp

Porini Cheetah Camp, like all the other Porini camps, is a small-tented camp designed to maximize your wildlife experience. It is especially suitable for Indian or Sri Lankan visitors as it is hosted by an Indian couple, Jui and Nirmalya Banerjee, the Camp Directors who are avid wildlife enthusiasts and live in the camp

The Porini Cheetah Camp is unfenced and located inside a private conservancy far from the usual safari crowds. It has just six spacious guest tents. The camp offers Wifi Internet in the public areas . The camp is entirely solar-powered and the comfortable tents have fans and charging points for use in the day. Also ensuite bathrooms with hot shower, flush toilet and water on tap. The chef uses fresh ingredients to prepare high quality meals and even home-baked bread. Indian cuisine is available on request.

Porini Cheetah Camp can be combined with our other Porini Camps to include various wildlife areas in one trip. Combine either Porini Amboseli or Porini Rhino Camp to get reduced prices on a safari of 6 or more nights. Porini Safari Camps: Reduced Rates for Safaris of 6 Nights or more

Porini Cheetah Camp Guest Reviews

Magical experience We had an awesome stay at Porini Cheetah! The host Jui and Nirmalaya were amazing! They were so passionate about the animals! They took care of all our needs and made us feel at home. The staff was amazing! The tents are well equipped and very comfortable! Recommend it to anyone who is passionate about animals! It's THE PLACE to go! Thank you for taking such good care of us!  

A fantastic personalized Amazing Experience! This was our first trip to Kenya. We stayed at two other properties before we landed at Porini Cheetah Camp. It is a small exclusive camp with a limited number of tents. This made the experience personal and intimate.  

The hosts Jui and Nirmalya were amazing. We have never experienced this kind of a hospitality and we almost felt like we were leaving family when it was time to leave. The food is just fantastic- Jui is ready to cook anything that you desire and meal times were particularly enjoyable as we got to interact with the other guests at the camp.It was great to hear the experiences of other global travellers from various countries and listen to their perspectives. As a result,meal times were lively and thoroughly enjoyable.  

The game drive experiences were awesome. We could not believe how close our guides drove us to the Lions and the cheetahs and our experience of watching 4 cheetah cubs playing hide and seek close to the wheels of our jeep was one of the most memorable experiences of the trip. We also particularly enjoyed the thoughtfully packed picnic boxes with yummy goodies and a bottle of wine which made those 'Sundowners' at the African Savanna particularly delightful.  

The accessibility to such a wide variety of wild life, the lovely guides who drove us around the conservancy, the warm hospitality of the hosts and the beautifully appointed camp with world class amenities and décor – we could not have asked for better.  

We are definitely coming back here!

Splendid We stayed at Porini Cheetah for 4 nights. We chose this place after a lot of research and we were pleasantly surprised. This place is much more than it promises. We were warmly welcomed by Nirmalya and Jui - the heart and soul of this property. The tents are spacious and comfortable, the staff very courteous and the driver and guide (for game drives) very alert and knowledgeable. The day typically begins here with hot mug of coffee and cookies, followed by submerging safaris and ends by the bonfire and dinner table with a sequence of factual events and adventures at the conservancy. Jui takes detailed care of setting a scrumptious menu everyday and Nirmalya amuses everyone with his knowledge on flora and fauna of the conservancy. overall, a fabulous experience to nurture for life. this place comes to life with the enthusiasm of the hosts, staff and guests. The whole feeling is overwhelming. Absolutely & highly recommended.
