Had the best safari experience with Wild Portraits
Our safari with Wild Portraits was truly unforgettable, and a huge part of that was the incredible team behind it.
Right from the booking stage, Leo was there to help us every step of the way. He was always responsive, patient, and understanding. When our flight got postponed, he even suggested hotels for us to stay at and helped arrange transport, making what could have been a stressful situation completely hassle-free.
Our safari experience with Gerald exceeded all expectations. His passion for wildlife and Kenyan culture made every game drive an opportunity to learn something new. He is an exceptional spotter, and thanks to his sharp eye and quick thinking, we were lucky enough to see some truly elusive animal.
What stood out even more was how personalized the experience felt. Once Gerald learned about my husband’s interest in birds, he went out of his way to point out countless species, sharing fascinating facts and patiently answering every question we had. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and ability to communicate made the experience so much richer.
The entire Wild Portraits team is incredibly skilled, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about ensuring you have the best possible safari. Every lodge we stayed at was beautifully chosen and perfectly suited to the journey, making the trip seamless and memorable from start to finish.
We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience and would highly recommend Wild Portraits to anyone planning a trip to Kenya.

Amazing trip with amazing guides!
Our Kenya/Tanzania Safari with Wild Portraits Safaris was an incredible experience. Their deep knowledge of animal behaviors and their environments allowed us to see and learn more than we expected. For example, we saw a number of leopards, multiple lions, a cheetah relaxing in the sun, and more elephants, zebras, and giraffes than we could count. (As well as the rare serval cat!!) Black rhinos and white, hippos, Cape buffalo, warthogs, crocodiles, and so much more! Especially awe-inspiring was the river crossing of the wildebeest.
The guides also readily indulged our love of birds! (Thank you)
We appreciated their humor and flexibility; they stopped whenever we requested, whether it was for a special photo, an “I think I spotted something” moment, or bathroom breaks (many tires were checked!).
Their concern for our wellbeing and satisfaction was evident.
We will never forget this trip and will remember James, Ben, Sam, and Zab fondly.

Can not recommend more!
We booked a private safari with Wild Portraits Safaris for Nairobi National Park and three days in the Masai Mara, and if you are looking for a serious, trustworthy safari company in Kenya, look no further.
James was my main point of contact and made everything easy from start to finish. He was responsive, reliable and made sure the whole trip ran smoothly.
Richard was our private guide and he was exceptional. He was always on time, extremely knowledgeable, a fantastic driver and clearly very experienced. As a photographer, I really appreciated that he also understood what makes a good photo and knew exactly how to position the vehicle for the best opportunities.
Because it was a private tour, we had the flexibility to spend more time where it mattered and avoid the crowded areas. Richard knew the parks incredibly well and often took us to quieter, more remote spots that most tourists simply did not reach.
One of the highlights was finding a pride of around 15 lions in a remote part of the Mara. Over three days we easily saw the Big Five, along with a huge amount of other wildlife.
The whole experience felt personal, professional and never rushed. If you want a private safari, especially for wildlife photography, I would recommend Wild Portraits Safaris without hesitation.
