Porini opens Acacia Lion Camp

The eco-friendly camp has no permanent construction and is situated along the Ntiakatiak River, a permanent river with pools frequented by hippos. With 6 luxury guest tents (increasing to 12 by Jan 2007) the camp is very exclusive and giving you a real in the bush experience. The tents are very spacious and have private verandahs along the length of the tent, providing a secluded and private ‘space’ for you to relax and enjoy the beauty of this African wilderness. Each tent has en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers. Food is excellent with fresh baked bread and high quality meals prepared by the camp Chef.

Qualified safari guides enhance the experience by educating the guests about the flora, fauna and people of the surrounding areas.
Guests are taken on day and night game drives in our custom built open-sided 4x4’s. In the evening they are taken to a scenic spot, to enjoy a drink while watching the sun go down. A night game drive is taken on the way back to camp, giving guests the opportunity to see many of the elusive nocturnal animals. Maasai warriors escort guests on a walk in the conservancy where they can learn about how the various indigenous animals and plants are used by the community and how their way of life is intertwined with their surroundings.

Local Maasai community members own the
Olare Orok Conservancy and are receiving a direct benefit from wildlife, seeing wildlife as a valuable resource which belongs to them. They earn a direct income from each guest in the conservancy and also much needed employment for their members.
Other than the head chef, camp manager and head guide all the other camp staff are from the surrounding communities.
Acacia Lion Camp is run and maintained with the conservation of the environment at the forefront. The numbers of tourist visitors in the conservancy are being limited to retain the wild and unspoilt nature of the area and to minimise the impact on the environment. During their stay our guests have various opportunities to learn about the local Maasai people and how the Olare Orok Conservancy and Acacia Lion Camps’ goals are aligned with theirs.
