In addition to over 50 mammal species some 400 species of birds have been recorded here. Wildlife viewing is by four-wheel drive and on foot (outside the park).Tortilis Camp MIDTortillis is situated just outside Amboseli.

The Laikipia PlateauThe Laikipia Plateau is a beautiful and remote wilderness area located just above the equator, about fi ve hours drive (or a short fl ight) north of Nairobi. It is home to greater kudu, reticulated giraffe, impala, elephant, lion, leopard and numerous other antelope and birds. The major draw here is the total immersion in the African bush through walking or riding safaris, accompanied by naturalist guides and Laikipiak Masai. The intensity and solitude of the experience is something often missing from other parts of Kenya and, as such, is one of our recommended Kenyan wildlife experiences.Porini Rhino MID OUR CHOICEThis camp is located in a secluded and remote corner of the Ol Pejeta Conservancy.

It is home to a number of the rarer species including Jackson's hartebeest, Grevy's zebra and reticulated giraffe.
