Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi to Lake Naivasha
  • Depart from Nairobi City early in the morning and head to Lake Naivasha.
  • Make a stop at the East African section of the Great Rift Valley viewpoint, a geological wonder of the world.
  • Enjoy views of the stratovolcano, Mount Longonot.
  • Drive past the small Italian Catholic church built in 1942 during World War II, when Italians were prisoners of war, while Kenya was still a British colony until 1963.
  • Arrive in time for lunch, followed by a brief rest.
  • Begin the afternoon's activities with a one-hour boat ride on the only freshwater lake in the Kenyan Rift Valley, home to hippos and over 400 bird species.
  • Enjoy a nature walk at Crescent Island.
  • Option to go on a bike ride while watching wildlife, accompanied by a guide.
  • Return to the relaxing ambiance of your lodge/resort for dinner and overnight stay.
  • Depart from the resort early in the morning.
  • Travel to Lake Nakuru National Park, approximately a 3-hour journey.
  • Begin a game drive in this awe-inspiring park.
  • Search for black and white rhinos, lions, and antelopes.
  • Visit the shorelines to observe flamingos and pelicans.
  • Experience the diverse ecosystem of Lake Nakuru, showcasing the abundance of nature in East Africa.
  • Enjoy dinner and lunch at the lodge.
  • After breakfast, we drive to the Masai Mara Game Reserve while enjoying the scenic views of the Great Rift Valley.
  • The Masai Mara Game Reserve is the northern part of the Serengeti, one of Kenya's most favored game-viewing areas.
  • The reserve covers 700 square miles of magnificent wilderness.
  • It represents the Africa of the imagination, featuring endless reaches of acacia-dotted grasslands studded with hazy hills.
  • In the afternoon, enjoy a game drive to see the sundowner while tracking the Big Five: lions in large prides, elephants, buffalo, zebras, and numerous plains game.
  • Dinner and overnight stay at the camp.
  • Meal plan: Lunch, Dinner.
  • Full days spent exploring the park in search of the Big Five and other predators.
  • An optional hot air balloon safari can be arranged at an additional cost of US$ 450 per person.
  • Dinner and overnight stay at the Camp.
  • The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe over 450 species of animals have been recorded here.
  • You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, leopards, various kinds of antelopes, and elephants.
  • It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place: the annual migration of millions of wildebeests and zebras from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture.
  • Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna: lions, cheetahs, wild dogs, jackals, hyenas, and vultures.
  • After a morning breakfast, we will head back to Nairobi, arriving by early evening.
  • You will either be dropped off at your hotel or at the airport.

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, Serengeti (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 w (Read More)ith 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.
