Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

Your adventure begins at 7:30 AM with a pick-up from your Nairobi hotel followed by a detailed safari briefing. You’ll then embark on a scenic drive toward Masai Mara National Reserve, witnessing breathtaking views of the Great Rift Valley. Masai Mara, the northern extension of Tanzania’s Serengeti, is a wildlife haven with over 700 square miles of open plains and rolling hills. Upon arrival, settle in for lunch and prepare for an afternoon game drive. As the sun begins to set, you may spot members of the Big Five—lions in prides, elephants, buffalos, zebras—and an array of plains game. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at the Camp.
Meal Plan: Lunch, Dinner

Spend a full day exploring the Mara, known for its dense wildlife population and iconic savannah. You’ll have multiple game drives in search of lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, and more. Optional: experience the magic of a hot air balloon safari over the Mara at an extra cost of USD 450 per person. The Mara is also the stage for the spectacular Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest and zebra traverse the savannah, followed closely by predators. Dinner and overnight at the camp.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast or with packed meals, depart from Masai Mara and drive through the southern part of the reserve toward the Isebania border. After completing the immigration formalities, you’ll continue into Tanzania and toward Serengeti National Park. Enjoy en-route game viewing before checking in to your camp for dinner and rest.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Today is dedicated to uncovering the wonders of Serengeti, Tanzania’s most celebrated national park. Morning and afternoon game drives let you explore its expansive plains and rich ecosystems. The park is best known for the Great Migration, where over a million wildebeest and thousands of zebras move in search of water and pasture. Explore the dramatic landscapes and watch nature unfold with predator-prey interactions in real-time. Overnight at Camp.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Start with an early morning game drive—animals are most active during dawn and offer amazing photo opportunities in golden light. After the drive, continue toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, arriving by late afternoon. Check into your camp, enjoy dinner, and rest.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Following breakfast, travel to the Kenya–Tanzania border. After completing border formalities, head to Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Once you arrive, jump straight into a game drive, seeking out elephants and soaking in the iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background—perfect for silhouette photography.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Enjoy a full day exploring Amboseli, famous for its large herds of elephants, open plains, and stunning Kilimanjaro views. The swamps here attract hippos, birds, zebras, gnus, gazelles, and more. The park is a dream for photographers and wildlife lovers. As this is a private safari, game drives are flexible and can be adjusted based on the pace of your group or children.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast, bid farewell to Amboseli and drive back to Nairobi. You’ll arrive by early evening and will be dropped off at your Nairobi hotel or the airport, depending on your travel plans.
Meal Plan: Breakfast

• 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.
