Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 JKIA ( Nairobi) - Masai Mara National Reserve

Meet and greet at the airport / hotel by the Tour driver guide of Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris. Depart from Nairobi to start your safari to Masai Mara via the Great Rift Valley where you’ll stop for panoramic and breathtaking views. Descend the escarpment and drive through the Hemingway-trails to Narok town and proceed to Masai Mara check-in at your camp and have lunch. Enjoy an afternoon game drive through the park viewing the migrating wildebeest and zebra. Search for the Cheetah, Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, and other members of the Big five plus other animals.

After breakfast at 07:30 hrs, spend the full day game viewing across the rich, tree-studded grassland and rolling hills. The famous Masai Mara is renowned for its great herds of plain game, black-maned lions, leopards, and cheetahs, and is also home to numerous elephants and virtually every other type of wildlife found in Kenya.

Lunch will be served in the park near the Mara River, which forms the border between Kenya and Tanzania and is famously known as the site of the annual wildebeest migration. After lunch, continue with a game drive exploring different sections of the park. Return to the camp at 17:30 hrs.

Optional: Visit the local Maasai villages or take a nature walk with Maasai guides (own cost).
Day 3: Masai Mara – Lake Nakuru National Park
After an early breakfast at 06:30 hrs, depart Masai Mara for Lake Nakuru with lunch en route. Arrive at Lake Nakuru in time for hotel check-in and afternoon relaxation. Later, enjoy an afternoon game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park, which is one of the largest ornithological spots globally.

Lake Nakuru is part of the Great Rift Valley, which stretches 6,500 kilometers from Jordan to Mozambique and is the largest rift on Earth. The alkaline lake attracts seasonal vast numbers of pink flamingos. Other sightings may include hippos, white and black rhinos, giraffes, tree-climbing lions, leopards, and a wide variety of birds.
Today, enjoy another game drive at Lake Nakuru National Park. The park continues to offer unique bird-watching opportunities and is home to many of Kenya’s iconic wildlife species. Spend your day exploring more of the Great Rift Valley ecosystem, observing flamingos, antelope, and predators in their natural habitat.
After an early breakfast, depart for Hell’s Gate National Park, named after a narrow break in the cliffs—once a tributary of a prehistoric lake that fed the early inhabitants of the Rift Valley. Begin a 2-hour guided bike tour through the park, where you may see herds of Thomson’s gazelle, eland, zebra, and hartebeest.

Hell’s Gate is also a birdwatcher’s haven, with over 100 species including Evreux’s eagles, augur buzzards, vultures, and swifts. Continue on foot into the park’s gorges and caves carved into the sedimentary rock. After a 1-hour nature walk, visit a local Maasai community to learn about their customs and traditional way of life.

Later, depart for Nairobi. On arrival, you will be dropped at your hotel or the airport between 16:30 hrs and 17:00 hrs.

Wild Portraits - an exceptional experience !

Anirudh's Trip to Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara National Reserve, Nairobi

5 /5

(Written on 07 Jul, 2025)

What's Good: I reached out to Wild Portraits via a safari service website that featured numerous tour operators. Among the competition, James stood out due to his exceptional patience, politene (Read More)ss, 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!

Nice behaviour and great responsibility they had
