Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 Nairobi to Amboseli National Park
- Depart from Kenya's capital city early in the morning.
- Drive towards the Kenyan coast with several stops along the way for scenic landscapes and coffee breaks.
- Arrive in time for lunch at Sentrim Amboseli Lodge.
- Relax after the 5-hour drive.
- Embark on our first game drive, searching for elephants and other interesting wildlife.
- Conclude the evening with silhouette photography as the sun sets, while enjoying views of Mount Kilimanjaro with animals in the foreground.
Day 2 Full Day at Amboseli National Park
- It is day two at the royal court of Africa's highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro.
- Our itinerary is flexible, allowing for half-day game drives in the morning and again in the afternoon after a lunch break.
- Amboseli National Park is the best place to see large herds of elephants.
- The swamps attract these magnificent creatures that inhabit this vast semi-arid ecosystem.
- The dusty plains also host cheetahs and lions among the big cats.
- On early morning game drives, there is a higher chance of seeing rarer mammals such as the honey badger, African wildcat, and African civet.
- We always recommend our guests leave camp or lodge at the earliest legal times with packed breakfasts to enjoy the morning serenity.
- The thought of a beautiful African sunrise over the open plains and breakfast in the wild with enchanting views should be motivation enough to rise early.
- In the Amboseli conservation area, we also have the dry lake Amboseli, which offers excellent elephant photography opportunities as well as other herbivores that may be encountered in the vast dry lake bed.
- Amboseli also provides unmatched photography opportunities, with golden light mixed with dust as the animals move in and out of the swamp during their daily migration routine.
- Dinner and overnight at Sentrim Amboseli Lodge.
Day 3 Amboseli to Nakuru National Park
- We leave after breakfast and proceed to Lake Nakuru National Park.
- We 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, which features an 8x12 km caldera.
- After approximately 7 hours, we arrive and start our game drive in this awe-inspiring park.
- We search for both black and white rhinos, lions, and antelopes, and visit the shorelines to see flamingos and pelicans.
- The diverse ecosystem of Lake Nakuru offers a spectacular introduction to the abundance of nature in East Africa.
- Lunch and dinner will be at the Lake Nakuru Lodge.
Day 4 Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara National Reserve
- Early morning game drive after breakfast increases your chances of witnessing the sunrise and observing animals while they are still active.
- The morning serenity is indescribable; it is an experience you must have.
- Later, you will drive to the Masai Mara National 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.

Day 5 Full day at Masai Mara National Reserve
- 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 extra cost of US$ 450 per person.
- Dinner and overnight stay at Olkinyei Mara Tented 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, many 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.
Day 6 Exploring the Great Landscapes of Mara
- We have a very flexible itinerary, and game drives are tailored to your interests with our experienced professional safari guide.
- An early morning game drive with a picnic breakfast increases your chances of witnessing the sunrise and observing animals while they are still active.
- The morning serenity is indescribable; you simply have to experience it.
- Explore the spotted savannah with its diverse landscapes to capture beautiful animals with your camera.
- The Mara River, where river crossings occur in July, August, and September, is the main water body winding through this paradise.
- Hippopotamuses and Nile crocodiles call this river home, making it the best place in the reserve to catch a glimpse of them as they bask on the riverbanks.
- Other rivers include the Talek River and smaller tributaries like the Sekenani River.
- The Sand River is another picturesque area in the Masai Mara, located right at the border with the endless plains of the Serengeti.
- All of this is explained by our safari guide as nature unfolds right in front of you, helping you find the best angles for that perfect shot!
- After a fulfilling and adventurous day, you will retire back to your strategically located safari camp or lodge for a sumptuous dinner and overnight stay.
Day 7 Masai Mara to Nairobi VIA Lake Naivasha
- After an early morning breakfast, you will head to Lake Naivasha.
- You will begin with a boat ride, lasting about one hour, on the only freshwater lake in the Kenyan Rift Valley, which is home to hippos and over 400 bird species.
- Observe pied kingfishers in action and the African fish eagle searching for its primary food source, fish.
- The most common fish found here is the common carp.
- Later, enjoy a nature walk at Crescent Island.
- Afterward, we will drive back to Nairobi, arriving by early evening.
- You will be dropped off at either your hotel or the airport.

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

Just went for 8 day safari with James and Wild Portraits Safaris...it was spot on perfect.

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.
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!
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.
