The mighty Mara river, We came in a non migration season, saw few families of hippos and few crocodiles. There is a small ranger tour which happens, they walk you through the few entry gates of the migration into the river and you get a chance to talk about the migration experience. You can give a small tip for the bush trail walk and the questionnaire experience, quick 15 minutes. I’ll come back to see the Mara experience next year .

Amazing experience with spectacular wildlife. Highly recommended. We were here for 2 1/2 days and saw pretty much every species with the exception of the elusive leopard and cheetah. At least this warrants an excuse to come back! There were no challenges navigating with the guide during the wet season and it was possible to avoid any showers by driving the other way.

I am in a dilemma whether to write this review and have more tourists flock to this place :( or to do justice to it and post a glowing review :). We went to Maasai Mara for a day and then we realised what an amazing concept conservancies such as this are. Within a 15-30 minute drive you can spot ALL the herbivores as well as lions, cheetahs, their young ones, jackals, hyenas etc etc. In Mara reserve we had to drive many kms to just spot one leopard with 25 other jeeps. In the conservancy we were mostly the only ones at a sighting. The Porini cottages combine the adventure of the wild with modern conveniences and mostly importantly, security, since we went with our own cub. Only Rhinos you won't find here. The service provided by Col Chandra, Grace, Daniel and our guides Ben and Darton was exemplary. Food by Chef Shiazu was amazing. Security by Joseph, Solomon and rest of the team was flawless. Overall a personalized safari experience like no other. More than highly recommended.
