Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi - Masai Mara National Reserve

Upon arrival at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport or pickup from your hotel, begin your scenic journey to the iconic Masai Mara Game Reserve. The drive takes you through the dramatic landscapes of the Great Rift Valley before reaching the rolling plains of the Mara, Kenya's premier wildlife destination. After check-in at Enkorok Mara Camp, enjoy a delicious lunch before heading out on your first afternoon game drive. Explore the vast savannah as you track the Big Five—lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinos—along with countless other plains game. Return to the camp for dinner and a restful overnight stay.

After breakfast, spend the full day on safari exploring the wonders of the Masai Mara. The reserve is home to over 450 species of animals and offers spectacular wildlife viewing, including cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and hyenas. If you're visiting between July and October, witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration. For a unique experience, you can opt for an early morning hot air balloon safari (at an additional cost of $450 per person), offering breathtaking aerial views of the wildlife and landscape. After a thrilling day, return to Enkorok Mara Camp for dinner and overnight.

Start your day early with a morning game drive, giving you the best chance to witness wildlife at its most active. Enjoy a picnic breakfast as the sun rises over the savannah. Visit key sites such as the Mara River, home to hippos and Nile crocodiles, and other scenic locations including Talek River, Sekenani River, and Sand River—famous for their role in the migration. Capture stunning photos, guided by your expert safari guide who will enrich your experience with local insights. After a fulfilling day, return to camp for dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast, check out from Enkorok Mara Camp and begin your journey back to Nairobi. Upon arrival at the Nairobi Terminus, board the 3:00 PM SGR train to Mombasa, a comfortable 6-hour ride. Upon reaching Mombasa, a driver will transfer you to Southern Palms Beach Resort in Diani, where you’ll check in and begin your beach holiday.

Spend your day at leisure exploring the beautiful Diani Beach. You may opt for snorkeling or diving excursions to explore coral reefs and vibrant marine life (at an additional cost). Relax on the white sandy beaches or take part in various beachside water activities.

Today, you can continue enjoying beach activities like swimming and kite surfing, or opt for an excursion to Shimba Hills National Reserve. Located nearby, Shimba Hills offers a chance to see Sable Antelope and elephants in a lush forest setting (optional, at extra cost).

Immerse yourself in Swahili culture with a visit to Mombasa’s Old Town, or explore the marine biodiversity at Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park. You can also enjoy sunset dhow cruises, horseback riding, spa treatments, golfing, or dolphin watching—available at an additional cost.

After breakfast, check out from the resort and transfer to the Mombasa SGR Terminus for the 8:00 AM train to Nairobi. Arrive in Nairobi by approximately 2:00 PM, where you'll be transferred to your hotel for the night. Early the following morning, you’ll be dropped off at the airport for your homebound flight, marking the end of an unforgettable 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
