Porini Lion Camp Safari Wedding, Kenya

4 Star

Two of our most popular camps can now offer a great authentic experience as well as a romantic one, with assistance all the way to plan your perfect day. Imagine being in the heart of big game country and taking your vows under an Acacia tree. The ceremony is held in camp with a beautiful flora decoration picked and prepared locally using all indigenous plants and flowers and you are welcomed by traditional Maasai singing. The Masai elders will also give their blessing to you completing this special occasion. The Camp staff will then present you with a wedding cake, made in camp and then the icing on it all is a wonderful, romantic bush lunch or dinner. You can tailor the final arrangements to what you want to do on your special day, maybe a game drive in the morning or a walk with the Masai, back to camp for an al fresco lunch and then hold your ceremony during the quiet of the afternoon. Let your imagination run wild with the animals.....

Porini Lion Camp is located in the exclusive 20,000 acre Olare Orok Conservancy. This expansive conservancy, which borders the Masai Mara Game Reserve is home to an abundance of animals including the Big Cats for which the Mara is famous. The Camp is situated along the Ntiakatiak River, a permanent river with hippo pools and an abundance of birdlife.
