Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi to Solio Rhino Sanctuary

Leave Nairobi in the morning and head to Solio Ranch, nestled between the Aberdare Ranges and the snowcapped Mount Kenya. Solio is a renowned rhino conservation sanctuary and a haven for both black and white rhinos. It offers a unique opportunity to witness these majestic creatures up close in their natural habitat. Other animals such as lions, leopards, zebras, and various herbivores are also present. After a full afternoon game drive, check into the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, depart Solio and drive through the scenic Aberdare Ranges, locally known as Nyandarua Ranges. This route offers sightings of wildlife such as giant forest hogs, elephants, hyenas, cape buffalos, duikers, bushbucks, and potentially melanistic serval cats or leopards. Stop to admire stunning landscapes, including waterfalls like Chania Falls and the majestic Karuru Falls. Explore Queen’s Cave, a historical spot used by both Kenya’s Mau Mau fighters and Queen Elizabeth. Later, drive for about 2 hours to Lake Naivasha for an overnight stay.

After an early breakfast, enjoy a boat ride on Lake Naivasha, the only freshwater lake in the Kenyan Rift Valley. Spot hippos and over 400 bird species, including pied kingfishers and African fish eagles. Afterward, take a nature walk at Crescent Island. Later, drive to Masai Mara, arriving in time for lunch at the lodge/camp. In the evening, embark on a game drive. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

Spend the day exploring Masai Mara Game Reserve, the northern part of the Serengeti ecosystem and home to a rich variety of wildlife. The Mara is especially famous for its dense population of lions. Enjoy flexible game drives tailored to your interests, as you seek out the Big Five – lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, and leopards – as well as other wildlife roaming the plains. Dinner and overnight stay at the lodge/camp.

Another full day in the Mara to delve deeper into the behaviors of its most iconic predators – the lions. Observe pride dynamics, hunting behavior, and territorial displays. An optional hot air balloon safari is available at an extra cost of USD 450 per person. Sightings of rhinos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, crocodiles, hippos, jackals, hyenas, wild dogs, and antelopes are common. This is also where the legendary Great Migration takes place, as millions of wildebeests and zebras move in search of water and pasture.

After breakfast, depart for Nairobi and arrive by early evening. You will be dropped off at your Nairobi hotel or the airport, marking the end of your safari adventure.

Reviews for Wild Portraits Safaris

Memorable Kenya trip

Trip to Kenya

(Written on 11 Jul, 2025)

What's Good: 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 (Read More) 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 friendly 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.
What's Not Good: 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.

Wild Portraits - an exceptional experience !

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

(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!

Best safari trip ever!

(Written on 15 Sep, 2023)

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.

Fantastic Guide, Highly Recommend

I have gone on two safaris with Wild Portraits and James M. He does an outstanding job of finding the game and getting his clients into perfect position for photos. The camps and vehicles are all wo (Read More)nderful, and his prices are very competitive. I hope to go with him again sometime soon!

Perfect guidance, exciting safari

(Written on 13 Sep, 2023)

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.

The Best Kenyan Safari

(Written on 13 Sep, 2023)

I have been on multiple photography tours, both to Africa and other places, and let me just say that the photography tour that I just took with Wild Portraits Safaris (WPS) ranks up there with the bes (Read More)t of the best. Everything about the trip was simply spot on perfect. From the very beginning communications, through a need for me to reschedule (my own fault, not theirs), through to the final minutes of the tour...everything was smooth, easy, well-communicated and perfectly executed. I went to Amboseli, Lake Naivashu, and the Mara. I was set up in great accommodations, with special consideration on making sure that we were able to get out into the field in the shortest amount of time. A few things that set WPS apart from other tours. First is the ability to personalize the tour to your interests. Unlike other safari tours with set schedules and specifically timed-itineraries, just let James, the owner/driver/ tour guide, know your interests and he'll continually plan and look out for opportunities and present options to you. For me, he knew I was interested in experiencing as much as possible, so he made sure that we had all day game drives while in the Mara. Second is the fact that James is an excellent photographer, himself. That means that he is constantly looking for the perfect lighting, angle, and composition to hep you get your best photos. Third, you cannot find any tour guide with as much passion for his job. This has led him to learn as much as possible about the land, the conservation efforts, the animals and how all of the factors integrate with each other. Each day wasn't just a photo tour: each day was an immersive learning experience. You definitely can't find a tour company that tries as hard as WPS to make sure that you get every ounce of opportunities in the short time that you are there. For instance, he added an impromptu visit to Nairobi National Park, because I had a lot of extra time before my outbound flight. And lastly, James is an extremely nice person. If you go on safari with WPS, you'll leave with tons of photos, memories, and a friend. I've already planned my next trip with WPS.

Best time of my life with those guys

(Written on 13 Sep, 2023)

If you are looking for a private guided tour, you can stop searching.here you will get the whole package of comfort,knowledge,service . we were guests of James and his company . it was the second big (Read More)cat show safari for us with him. Also this time we had great experiences. James have a great deal of knowledge about the animal world and the nature. the guys did a perfect job on this trip. we're already looking forward to the next tour. Your friend and partner from Germany. Manuel K

A memory for life

(Written on 12 Sep, 2023)

A Safari with Wild Portraits Safaris and James Muchina is an experience out of the ordinary, you will never forget it and you will always carry a longing to experience it again. James knowledge of an (Read More)d respect for the wild life is amazing. The wild animals always come first, we are only visitors in their home and James has a humility before nature that is genuine. I have been on several safaris with James and every time I´m struck by his knowledge, he is a true proffesional. I don´t know when I´m going again but I know that I will go on safari with James Muchina again. Tina from Sweden
