Conservation

All of the Porini Camps are specially designed to have minimum impact on the environment. The camps use no permanent structures and only use solar power for electricity and heating water.

The aim of Gamewatchers camps and conservancies is also to benefit the local communities. The objective is to create income and provide benefits for the local people so that they can also benefit from participating in tourism.

Gamewatchers Safaris has been honoured with two Eco Warrior Awards for 2011. The award recognises innovation aimed at preserving the area while including local communities within Kenya's tourism industry.

Ol Kineyi Conservancy has been named the best community conservancy while Porini Amboseli Camp has been named the best eco-rated property in Kenya.
