The destination

One camp, north of the park.

Selenkay Conservancy covers 12,500 acres of land leased from the local Maasai community, within the much larger Eselenkei Group Ranch north of Amboseli National Park.

It has one camp, Porini Amboseli Camp, and Porini says no other tourist vehicles come in. The national park is a separate destination, reached by road.
