Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi - Amboseli National Park

Your adventure begins early as you depart Nairobi and head south towards Amboseli National Park. Enroute, enjoy scenic stops for landscape photography and coffee breaks. Arrive at Sentrim Amboseli in time for lunch and some rest after the 4 to 5-hour drive. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive in search of Amboseli’s iconic elephants and other wildlife. Capture the golden hour with silhouette photography featuring Mount Kilimanjaro as a stunning backdrop. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast, set out to explore Amboseli National Park. Famous for its large herds of elephants and views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the park also offers the chance to see cheetahs, lions, hippos, zebras, gnus, gazelles, and prolific birdlife around the swamps. With flexible timings tailored for families and photography, the day is yours to enjoy the landscapes and wildlife sightings. Return to your lodge in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.

Post breakfast, drive towards Tsavo West National Park. Enjoy a game drive enroute and arrive at your lodge for lunch. Later in the afternoon, visit the fascinating Mzima Springs, a crystal-clear water source filtered naturally by volcanic rock. From a submerged viewing platform, observe aquatic life including fish and Nile crocodiles. Continue to the volcanic Mashetani Lava Flow and explore the park's diverse wildlife, including monitor lizards, leopards, lions, buffalos, elephants, and more. Return to Kilaguni Serena Lodge for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, depart for Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary through Tsavo West. This conservancy spans 28,000 acres and is rich in biodiversity, with acacia and commiphora-dominated habitats. Arrive at Salt Lick Lodge in time for lunch. The unique stilted lodge overlooks a busy waterhole frequented by elephants and other animals, with great viewing from an underground hide. Enjoy an afternoon game drive through the sanctuary, then return for dinner and overnight stay.

Enjoy a morning game drive as you exit Taita Hills and journey to Tsavo East National Park. Check in to your camp or lodge and have lunch. In the afternoon, explore the vast, semi-arid landscape known for its iron-rich red soil. Tsavo East is home to the iconic red elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Spend the evening chasing the magical African sunset before heading back for dinner and overnight.

This day offers flexibility for morning and evening game drives, allowing you to tailor your experience. Tsavo East is Kenya’s largest conservation area, housing rare species like the hirola antelope, along with zebras, dik-diks, and other antelopes. Visit the Galana River and the dramatic Lugard Falls, followed by a stop at Mudanda Rock—a massive inselberg that acts as a natural dam and wildlife haven during the dry season. Return to Ashnil Aruba Lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast, head to the Emali Train Station for your journey to Mombasa. Upon arrival, a transfer will take you to Southern Palm Beach Resort in Diani. Check in and relax for your beach holiday. Enjoy the warm hospitality and ocean breeze for the next three nights.

Spend your day exploring Diani Beach. For the adventurous, snorkelling and diving trips to vibrant coral reefs are available (at an extra cost). Boat trips to nearby islands offer excellent views of marine life and pristine waters—perfect for water lovers.

Another day to relax or explore. Enjoy beach activities like swimming, kite surfing, or horseback riding along the shore. You can also opt for excursions to Shimba Hills for a wildlife safari or visit the Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park. Other activities include dolphin watching, sunset cruises, spa treatments, or exploring Mombasa’s historic Old Town (at extra cost).

After breakfast, check out of the hotel. Depending on your travel plans, you’ll be transferred to the airport or your next destination. This marks the end of a thrilling safari and a relaxing beach holiday in Kenya.

• Trip to Masai Mara National Reserve, Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya

Excellent

2 months ago

From the moment we met James, the owner of Wild Portrait Safari, we knew we were in expert hands. Over eight incredible days across the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, he didn’t just show us the Big Five—he introduced us to hundreds of other stunning species and the living, breathing story of Kenya’s wildlife. Every day was a masterclass in understanding nature, reading the l (Read More)and, and truly seeing animals in their best habitats and biotopes. What sets James apart is the way he blends deep knowledge with genuine warmth. He taught us where and how to look for animals, how ecosystems connect, and the very real challenges wildlife face due to climate change. His insights made each sighting more meaningful, and his tips on wildlife photography (from light and composition to patience and timing) helped us bring home images we’re truly proud of. Through it all, his human touch—kindness, humor, and care—made the journey unforgettable. We loved every minute of our 8 days, and we left feeling both grateful and inspired. If you’re dreaming of a Kenyan safari that combines breathtaking sightings, thoughtful education, and heartfelt guiding, look no further. Highlights: - Saw the Big Five plus countless other remarkable animals - Clear, engaging lessons on Kenyan wildlife and habitats/biotopes - Thoughtful discussions on conservation and climate change - Practical, game-changing wildlife photography guidance - Warm, attentive, and deeply human guiding throughout - Seamless experience across Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli Thank you, James, for an extraordinary adventure—we’ll treasure it forever. Highly, highly recommended. ??

• Trip to Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya, Lake Nakuru National Park, Lake Naivasha

Just went for 8 day safari with James and Wild Portraits Safaris...it was spot on 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 (Read More)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.

• Trip to Kenya

Everything went smooth and was detailed. Communication was flawless. The experience was seamless and well organised. Our guide Ben was fantastic and knowledgable so we feel we made a friend in Kenya too. James was superb in helping us plan the trip and with suggestions for stay. All in all it was such a special vacation and I can’t wait to explore more of Africa. People are great ! So warm and fri (Read More)endly and what a truly blessed country with so much nature and wildlife. I would highly recommend Wild Portraits and James and Ben for your travel to Kenya.
please be careful while entering the country at immigration - make sure your passport is stamped. We had some issue with this. Can’t complain about anything else. It was beyond our expectations.

• Trip to Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara National Reserve, Nairobi

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, 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 e (Read More)xtensive 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!

We just came back from our second safari trip with James of Wild Portraits Safari. We had the greatest possible experience during our 9 day-trip from Amboseli (Kenya), to Tarangine, Ngorongoro, Sereng (Read More)eti (Tanzania) and then to the Mara in Kenya. The full trip was well organized and included so many highlights: beautiful sights, the landscapes, the wildlife, James' ability to find the quiet spots with magnificent viewing, great accommodations, breakfast in the Mara, horseback riding amongst buffalo, hyena and giraffes, and of course James' great company, his care for his guests and his drive to make the full experience perfect. We are already planning our next visit and will certainly travel with James again. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a fantastic vacation.

Not only a perfect foto safari but also a deep impressing trip through an endearing landscape with an admirable wildlife. I have to thank James Muchina for fulfilling one of my life dreams. He is a p (Read More)erfect guide, professional, empathic and with never ending patience. Our gamedrives started befor sunrise and ended after exciting hours late in the evening. James has a great knowledge of the animals, the nature and culture as well. I was impressed of his amazing respect for the wild life. This was the cause for intense moments close to wild animals in their natural habitat. Apart from this his photographic expertise provided unique motives. I left Kenia with beautiful pictures in my hart and a well filled memory card. Thousand thanks from the bottom of my heart.
