Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi - Solio Rhino Sanctuary

Leave Nairobi early in the morning and drive to Solio Ranch, located between the Aberdare Ranges and the snowcapped Mount Kenya. Renowned for its rhino conservation, Solio is home to both black and white rhinos in large numbers, along with lions, leopards, zebras, and other herbivores. Enjoy a full afternoon game drive in the sanctuary before checking into  Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, drive from Solio to Aberdare National Park, also known locally as the Nyandarua Ranges. As you ascend through layers of mountain vegetation, look out for forest hogs, elephants, hyenas, buffaloes, duikers, bushbucks, and with some luck, the elusive melanistic leopard or serval cat. Pause to admire the scenic waterfalls like Chania Falls and Karuru Falls, Kenya’s tallest. Explore Queen’s Caves, once used by freedom fighters and visited by Queen Elizabeth. After your park excursion, return to Lodge for the night.

Start the day early and head toward Meru National Park. Surrounded by reserves like Kora, Bisanadi, and Rahole, the greater Meru ecosystem is the second-largest wildlife complex in Kenya. Explore Meru’s rich volcanic landscape in the afternoon. The park is home to rhinos, elephants, hippos, lesser kudus, gerenuks, and over 400 bird species. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at Camp.

Spend a full day exploring Meru National Park at your own pace. The park features 13 rivers, lush greenery, and sightings of elephants, zebras, leopards, rhinos, reticulated giraffes, and Somali ostriches. Visit the grave of Elsa the lioness—made famous by Joy and George Adamson’s book and film Born Free—where part of Joy's ashes were also scattered. Overnight at Camp.

After breakfast, enjoy a game drive en route out of Meru and continue to Samburu National Reserve. As you travel through varying landscapes and farmlands, the scenery becomes increasingly arid. Arrive in Samburu in time for lunch. In the afternoon, set out on your first game drive in search of elephants, lions, leopards, and the stunning African sunset. Overnight at  Lodge.

Enjoy a full-day game drive customized to help you explore every corner of Samburu. The Ewaso Nyiro River brings life to this semi-arid region, attracting wallowing elephants, reticulated giraffes, Grevy’s zebras, Somali ostriches, oryx, gerenuks, and more. It’s one of the best places to spot leopards and rare bird species. You may also choose to visit a local Samburu village to experience their unique traditions. Overnight at a Lodge.

After breakfast, check out and depart for Nairobi. Arrive in the city by evening, where you will be transferred to your hotel, residence, or directly to the airport, wrapping up a memorable Kenyan wildlife adventure.

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

Excellent

a month 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.
