You can do hand washing in the basin with the hand washing soap provided, but there is no laundry service as such at the Lion Camp.

Hi Melanie, To answer your questions our vehicles have seats for 6 passengers. If you email our Safari Consultant who booked the safari for you then we can give you a link to the page on our website showing pictures of the open-sided safari vehicles that we use at our Porini Camps. We look forward to welcoming you to Porini Lion Camp in October! Jake Grieves-Cook Gamewatchers Safaris & Porini Camps

We have many specialist photographers staying with us at our Porini Camps and you will be . We have open-sided 4x4 safari vehicles and you can see photos of these on our website via the link on the TripAdvisor review page for Porini Lion Camp. Our vehicles have 6 passengers seats in 3 rows of 2 seats. If you take exclusive use of a vehicle then we can remove a row of seats so that you can get a lower vantage point for photography. There are many examples of images taken by photographers from our vvehicles in the Safari Diary section of our website. I hope that helps and we will be happy to welcome you to the Porini Camps.

Hi AmeriDok, With only two nights and the intention is to drive then I would definitely not bother with going into the reserve. There is so much to see in the conservancy. I think it costs about USD$ 350 to fly return and that gives you a full two days. You will get in about 11.30 am and you will leave at about 11.30 am two days later. You will be seeing animals and wildlife from the moment you leave the airstrip until you return to the airstrip. If you are driving it will take you about 7 hours to get from the centre of Nairobi to the camp - it may take you longer if you have to wait a long time at the park entrance gate? You will see lots of animals for the last two hours of this drive but you will only really be able to stop and look at them for the last 40 minutes. Much depends upon what time you leave Nairobi but if you can get away early, 6.00 am (still dark) then you will have a better trip and quicker trip and get into camp earlier. I am not sure what your itinerary is after Mara but you maybe need to leave by 10 am at the latest if you are heading back into Nairobi. City traffic can be deplorable. I suggest that you cancel the National reserve cost and put that money into your pocket or towards the cost of flying or even spending an extra night!! If you were spending 3 nights then the day's access into the national park is useful in case you have not seen a leopard or a cheetah and they know of one in the park that they can show you. With only 2 nights, just enjoy the conservancy - there is so much to see. Hope that helps.
