Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi - Amboseli National Park
You will be picked up from your Nairobi hotel early in the morning at 07:30 hrs. After a short safari briefing by our Tour Consultant, depart Kenya’s capital and begin your journey toward the Kenyan coast, making scenic stops along the way for landscape photography and coffee breaks. Arrive in time for lunch at Sentrim Amboseli Lodge. After a short rest from the 5-hour drive, embark on your first game drive in Amboseli, searching for elephants and capturing creative landscape shots. End your day with silhouette photography against the setting sun and enjoy the view of Mount Kilimanjaro with animals in the foreground.
Today is dedicated to exploring the best of Amboseli. Our itinerary remains flexible, allowing for early morning and afternoon game drives, with time to relax and enjoy lunch at the lodge. Amboseli is famous for its large herds of elephants, attracted to the region’s swamps. The dusty plains are also home to lions, cheetahs, and other predators. Early morning game drives offer a better chance of spotting rare mammals like the African civet, wildcat, and honey badger. Depart the lodge early with packed breakfast to enjoy the morning light and serenity. Don’t miss the dry Lake Amboseli, an excellent photography spot for elephants and herbivores across its vast bed.
Depart Amboseli early in the morning and head towards Lake Naivasha. En route, stop at the viewpoint overlooking the Great Rift Valley – a geological marvel. Admire Mount Longonot, a massive stratovolcano with an impressive 8x12 km caldera. Drive past the quaint Italian Catholic Church built in 1942 by prisoners of war during the British colonial era. Arrive at Sawela Lodge in time for lunch. After a rest, enjoy a boat ride on Lake Naivasha, home to hippos and over 400 bird species, including African fish eagles hunting for fish. Later, take a nature walk on Crescent Island before returning to the lodge for the night.
After breakfast, drive to Aberdare National Park via the Mutubio Gate. Enter the Nyandarua (Aberdare) Ranges and traverse through different mountain vegetation zones. Look out for wildlife like giant forest hogs, elephants, hyenas, buffaloes, duikers, bushbucks, and possibly the elusive melanistic serval or leopard. Enjoy photo stops at scenic spots and visit stunning waterfalls like Chania Falls and the magnificent Karuru Falls – Kenya’s tallest. Explore the Queen’s Caves, a site used by both Kenya’s Mau Mau fighters and Queen Elizabeth. Visit Magura Falls nearby. Exit the park and overnight at the Treetops Lodge.
After breakfast, head to Ol Pejeta Conservancy via the Ark Gate. Arrive at Serena Sweet Waters Tented Camp and check in for lunch. In the afternoon, set off for your game drive in this unique conservancy, which is home to both black and white rhinos, big cats, elephants, chimpanzees, and the endangered Grevy’s zebra. This is the only place in the world where you can see the last two northern white rhinos—Fatu and Najin—by booking in advance. The conservancy lies at the intersection of northern and southern hemispheres, hosting both reticulated and Masai giraffes. Return to camp for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, proceed to Lake Nakuru National Park. Arrive after approximately four hours and begin your game drive. Lake Nakuru is home to Kenya’s first rhino sanctuary, and you can see both black and white rhinos. Spot flamingos and pelicans along the shoreline and look out for lions, leopards, antelopes, and other game. Lake Nakuru’s rich ecosystem offers an ideal introduction to Kenya’s biodiversity. Enjoy your stay and meals at Lake Nakuru Lodge.
Depart Nakuru early in the morning and head to the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve. After scenic stops along the way, arrive just in time for lunch. In the evening, head out for your first game drive in the Mara in search of lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs, and more. The Masai Mara is one of the best places in Africa to spot big cats in action. Return to Enkorok Mara Camp for dinner and overnight stay.
Spend the entire day exploring Masai Mara. Optionally, enjoy a hot air balloon safari at sunrise (extra cost of USD 450 per person). The Mara is incredibly diverse, with over 450 animal species recorded. Expect to see lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, crocodiles, and possibly leopards and wild dogs. During July to September, witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration as millions of wildebeest and zebra cross from Tanzania’s Serengeti to Kenya’s Mara, trailed by predators. Enjoy dinner and overnight at Enkorok Mara Camp.
Embark on early morning game drives with picnic breakfast for higher chances of spotting predators and catching the golden sunrise. With a flexible schedule, tailor your drives based on your interests. Visit the Mara River, a prime location for witnessing the Great Migration river crossings (July–September), and home to hippos and Nile crocodiles. Explore the scenic Talek, Sand, and Sekenani Rivers. The Sand River, bordering Serengeti, offers beautiful photo opportunities. Your experienced guide will share fascinating insights and help you frame the best wildlife shots. Return to your safari lodge/camp for a delicious dinner and rest.
After breakfast, drive back to Nairobi, arriving by early evening. You’ll be dropped off at your Nairobi hotel or at the airport, depending on your departure plans.

Very genuine with suggestions and doesn't do things as a job or formality. 3. James is very knowledgeable. 4. The enthusiasm and passion shown by James was just so infectious. 5. The planning of itinerary takes care of all the finer details. 6. They really take care of your focus and they don't try to sell anything you are not interested in. For example we skipped the village visit because we didn't see value in it. 7. Quite flexible and adjusts as things progress.

Janet was very thorough with our itenary and helped us throughout and Bonnie knew all the best spots on all of our game drives.

From the very beginning, Christine and Judith from Donwel Tours were highly atte (Read More)ntive to what we were looking to get from our first ever trip to Kenya, and Africa, for that matter. We wanted to cover a lot of ground, and were going from one agency to another before we found Donwel as most agents couldn't quite squeeze everything we wanted into our itinerary. Judith and Christine however made it all possible. Good quality stays everywhere, regular communication through the trip to ensure we were ok and were getting what we wanted. Special shoutout to Teeman, our driver who absolutely fantastic, drove safely and ensured our safety and comfort throughout the trip, regularly coordinating with Christine. This is an excellent team and we would highly recommend their services.
Everything was perfect.

I reached out to Wild Portraits via a safari service website that featured numer (Read More)ous tour operators. Among the competition, James stood out due to his exceptional patience, politeness, and genuine curiosity displayed during our initial phone calls. James swiftly emerged as the singular operator I wished to proceed with, and here’s why: - Having substantial on-ground experience from spending extensive time on the safaris himself, he adeptly crafted a honeymoon package that perfectly suited my wife and me. - He adeptly navigated our budget flexibilities and constraints to arrange an impressive array of delightful lodges and activities, focusing on maximising our day-to-day adventures, ensuring each day on safari and at the lodges offered a unique experience. - A skilled photographer himself, James's comprehensive knowledge of various reserves and animal behaviours provided him with a distinct advantage in predicting animal locations and optimal times for photography, whether capturing sunrises, sunsets, or other moments. - Our priority was to maximise game time and reserve experiences. James made certain our vehicle was ready, complete with packed hot breakfast boxes, for a prompt 6 AM departure every morning of the trip. - Remarkably patient, he addressed all my queries, irrespective of whether they seemed 'silly' or insightful—from 'what to wear' at safaris, potential places to explore, to the animals we might encounter. In summary, my wife and I enjoyed an extraordinary experience in Kenya, with Wild Portraits Safaris significantly enhancing the quality of that journey. We are eagerly anticipating more safaris and look forward to embarking on them with James and his team!
