Moonlight Tours Expedition – Porini Rhino Camp: A Conservation-Focused Safari in Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Tucked away at the base of Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau, in the foothills of Mount Kenya and the Aberdares, Porini Rhino Camp offers an immersive, eco-friendly safari experience. Nestled along a scenic semi-permanent stream, this intimate tented camp is located within the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a renowned conservation sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered species and preserving the local environment.

Home to the Big Five, Ol Pejeta is also a refuge for rescued chimpanzees and one of the last strongholds of the highly endangered northern white rhino. Visitors can witness first-hand the groundbreaking conservation efforts taking place here, including the protection of four of the world’s last seven northern white rhinos. Guided by expert Maasai rangers, you will explore this extraordinary landscape through game drives, walking safaris, and specialist tours designed to connect you with nature in the most authentic way.
