Dinner and overnight at your camp/lodge on a full-board basis.

Day 2 Full Day in Samburu Game Reserve

Spend the entire day exploring Samburu with morning, mid-morning, and afternoon game drives.

You may opt for a full-day game drive with picnic lunch boxes or return to your lodge for meals. An optional visit to a Samburu Village is available at an extra cost to experience the vibrant culture and traditions of the Samburu people.

Day 3 Samburu Game Reserve – Lake Nakuru National Park

After an early breakfast, we depart for Lake Nakuru National Park, often referred to as the pink lake due to the presence of thousands of flamingos. The park is also home to both black and white rhinos, giraffes, lions, and various other wildlife species. Enjoy lunch upon arrival followed by an afternoon game drive. Expect guaranteed sightings of endangered rhino species in this scenic park. Dinner and overnight at your camp/lodge on a full-board basis.

Day 4 Lake Nakuru National Park – Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, we continue our journey towards Masai Mara, passing through picturesque farmlands and the Great Rift Valley. Arrive at your camp or lodge for lunch followed by a thrilling afternoon game drive. The Masai Mara is one of Africa’s premier wildlife reserves, home to the Big Five and the site of the Great Migration from July to October. Return to your camp/lodge for dinner and overnight on a full-board basis.

Day 5 Full Day in Masai Mara National Reserve

Today is dedicated to game viewing in the Masai Mara. Explore the vast plains in search of the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. The reserve is also home to giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, jackals, antelopes, crocodiles, and over 450 bird species. During the migration season (July to September), the landscape is alive with dramatic wildlife movement. A picnic lunch is provided in the park. Dinner and overnight at your camp/lodge on a full-board basis.

Day 6 Full Day in Masai Mara National Reserve

Enjoy another full day in the Masai Mara with early morning and late afternoon game drives. Today’s highlight includes a picnic lunch by the Hippo Pool, where you can observe hippos and crocodiles in their natural habitat. Return to your camp/lodge in the evening for dinner and overnight stay on a full-board basis.

Day 7 Masai Mara National Reserve – Nairobi

After breakfast at around 9:00 AM, begin your return journey to Nairobi with en-route wildlife viewing.

Just went for 8 day safari with James and Wild Portraits Safaris...it was spot o (Read More)n perfect. Reasons 1.Clear communication and replies always comes very quickly on WhatsApp. 2. 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!
