What Our Past Clients Are Saying: "I will tell all my friends and family about your company. I was initially a little worried about dealing with a travel agency directly in Africa, but now I know that Africa Point is very professional and a reputable company. This trip was for my husband's 50th birthday, and we had a trip of a lifetime, thanks to Africa Point."

Eco tourism
The eco-friendly camp has no permanent construction. Local Maasai community members own the Olare Orok Conservancy and are receiving a direct benefit from wildlife, seeing wildlife as a valuable resource which belongs to them. They earn a direct income from each guest in the conservancy and also much needed employment for their members. Other than the head chef, camp manager and head guide all the other camp staff are from the surrounding communities.
Porini Lion Camp is run and maintained with the conservation of the environment at the forefront. The numbers of tourist visitors in the conservancy are being limited to retain the wild and unspoilt nature of the area and to minimize the impact on the environment. During their stay our guests have various opportunities to learn about the local Maasai people and how the Olare Orok Conservancy and Lion Camps’ goals are aligned with theirs. There is a written environmental policy in regards to water, land, energy, solid waste and sewage which is adhered to by the camp management.
