An incredibly educational and memorable experience that exceeded all my expectations!
The two days my family spent with James, a friendly and highly knowledgeable guide, were nothing short of magical. He provided an experience that was beyond our expectations, and being our very first safari, we made memories in the Maasai Mara that we still talk about months later. He was highly knowledgeable with the expansive terrain and never missed an opportunity to guide us to see the rarest of the wild animals within a short period of time, providing the best viewing angle for us without distracting the animals.
Being an amateur photographer myself, James went out of his way and offered to let me use his professional lenses to capture some of the best photos that I could not have taken otherwise. His professionalism and extraordinary knowledge of the wild animals and the terrain made for an even more exciting safari and I must say that we left the trip more educated and with more appreciation for nature, especially for my 7 year old daughter.
I highly recommend James and Wild Portrait Safaris for families, photographers and anyone who wants more than just a safari. I can't wait to be back!

Amazing outstanding an unforgettable experience
We spent 3 amazing days with James on Safari. It was an experience of a life time. James Muchina was most amazing he went about and beyond our expectations. He made our trip of a life time truly amazing. His knowledge and understanding of the animals was amazing. We could not ask for anything more. By the end of our adventure James was like family. If you need a guide look no further. He is the one to make your adventure complete

Everything you can ask for!
We met James during a Safari in Kenya in 2017. Even though we only had a few days together we were amazed by his professional guidance as well as his eye for scenery and his feeling for opportunies for great photography.
Therefore, when planning our honeymoon this year, Wild Portrait Safaris was the obvious choice.
Long story short... The trip did exceed our exspectations and we spent a wonderful time in Kenia.
We can absolutely recommend this company weather your a professional Photographer, Photo enthusiast of even if you just want to exsperience Kenias‘ wildlife first hand.
Beeing an exsperienced wildlife photographer himself, James really knows how to compose wildlife and landscape into amazing pictures as well as how to get the ‚one shot‘ standing out from the hundrets of pictures taken on a safari.

Astonishing, educational, entertaining and a truly magical experience!
This was my fourth and the absolute best safari I've been to. The way the guides work to give us every little magic glimpse of the savannah's heart, is something I cannot explain with words, you have to experience it to understand that their safari can make your dream come true! Incredibly talented guides, they know exactly what it takes to give you everything you want and a little more!

A safari that exceeded all, already high expectations, more than I could ever dream of.
Our 12 days safari became an extraordinary experience thanks to James and his colleagues Sammy and Gerard.
James is a fantastic guide who reads the group and goes that "extra mile" in order to fulfill the dreams and expectations in the group. He shares his knowledge in a way that makes you become one with Kenya and the wild life, you sense a feeling of belonging to the nature. It is his great experience and passion for what he does that makes it possible for all of us to see and feel so much of the wildlife and the magnificent nature.
James is also a fantastic photographer and he does his utmost to give you the possibility to get that perfect shot!
James, his colleagues and Wild Portrait safaris have my highest and warmest recommendations.

James, Gerald and Sápmi knew exactly where to be at the right time.
These guys really have what is needed to make the safari an once-in-a-lifetime experience!!! I have been on several safaris in more countries than Kenya and I must say this was the best I have ever done. They gave me a feeling of the magic from both the animals and nature. I can highly recommend James Muchina and his colleagues. Karin Børsum, Norway

A truly amazing once in a lifetime experience
My wife and I spent 4 absolutely wonderful days with James from Wild Portrait! It is by far our most memorable tour experience to date and it is all due to James's passion for what he does and the fact that he is just an awesome person. Whether it was his keen senses leading us to the truly rare on multiple occasions (leopard feeding on its kill in a tree with her cub down below as an example), looking up from great conversation to realize the hours long drives are over or him making us feel absolutely at home in his homeland, James was the absolute best! We left Kenya with unforgettable memories and a true friend.
