Breathtaking safari experience with James and team of Wild Portrait Safaris
I had the opportunity to take an 8-day trip to Kenya with Wild Portraits Safaris, and I must say it was one of the best decisions of my life. The trip was well-organized, comfortable, and full of amazing wildlife encounters. I visited three different national parks: Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara, and each one had its own unique charm and beauty.
Amboseli National Park
The first stop of the trip was Amboseli National Park, where I witnessed the majestic sight of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. The park is home to hundreds of elephants, as well as zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and many other animals. I was lucky enough to see a large herd of elephants crossing the road right in front of our vehicle, and it was a breathtaking moment. The park also has a variety of birds, such as flamingos, pelicans, and storks, that add color and life to the landscape.
Lake Nakuru National Park
The second stop of the trip was Lake Nakuru National Park, which is famous for its pink flamingos that cover the lake's shore. The park also has a rich diversity of wildlife, including rhinos, lions, leopards, buffaloes, and hyenas. I was thrilled to see a rare sighting of a black rhino and white rhinos, which is one of the most endangered animals in the world.
Masai Mara National Reserve
The last stop of the trip was Masai Mara National Reserve, which is the ultimate destination for any wildlife lover. The reserve is part of the Serengeti ecosystem, and hosts the annual migration of millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, who cross the Mara River in search of greener pastures. The reserve is also the best place to see the Big Nine. I was fortunate enough to see all of them, and even witnessed a dramatic chase between a lions and a buffalos. The reserve also has a rich cultural heritage, as it is the home of the Masai people, who are known for their traditional lifestyle and colorful attire.
The best guides and service
None of this would have been possible without the excellent service and guidance of Wild Portraits Safaris. James, organized everything meticulously, from the accommodation, transportation, meals, and activities. He was always attentive, friendly, and professional, and made sure that I had everything I needed. Surat, another guide, was knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about wildlife. Both of them knew where to find the best sightings, and how to position the vehicle for the best photography. They also shared interesting facts and stories about the animals and the places we visited. I highly recommend Wild Portraits Safaris to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable and thrilling experience in Kenya. They are the best in the business, and they will make your dreams come true.

Professional, reliable, exceptional.
We loved the experience of a private tour with Wild portraits safaris. James organized everything, so that the accomodation lodges, food and tour were absolutely great. He remained connected and attentive at all moments and gave a very good service. Tim, our guide has a huge amount of knowledge about nice spots and the wild life. Thanks to his pugnacity, we had the chance of observing many animals and also the big five. He explained the behaviour and way of life of each species so we learned a lot. He made our experience lovely and unforgetable.

MASAI MARA
Dear James,
I cannot thank you enough for organizing such a phenomenal safari experience in Masai Mara. The hotel and food were absolutely outstanding, adding so much comfort to our adventure. A special thanks to Mr. Charles for his incredible patience and knowledge. Thanks to him, we were fortunate enough to see the majestic Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo—along with other incredible wildlife like giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, and hippos. Every moment was unforgettable, and it was all made possible through your meticulous planning. Thank you once again for making this such a remarkable trip!
