5.00The one-day trip to Amboseli from Nairobi is a great way to see all of Amboseli's attractions while saving time. We were able to see a lot of elephants and baby elephants up close. Lake Amboseli is beautiful and we were able to see flamingos and hippos as well. We had a great time with our guide Kelvin. We have now amazing photos with the Kilimandjaro in the background. We made beautiful memories. Thank you very much for this magical experience !
Amazing Amboseli!

5.00Calvin was a wonderful guide! He made certain that we timed our travels to see the animals especially the elephants up close! I left a personal item on the van and Calvin was instrumental in getting it back to me. I would highly recommend this tour company and request Calvin for your guide!

5.00We scheduled a private tour for 8 to visit Amboseli with Rustic Nature. We were very fortunate to have Calvin as our guide - he was fantastic. Super knowledgeable about all the wildlife and helped my daughter get some great animal photos. The company was also very accommodating of changes to our plans - would recommend!

5.00We had the most amazing day at Amboseli National Park with Kelvin as our excellent guide. We couldn't believe how many animals we saw in just a few hours it was incredible. We were even welcomed to the park by one of the last supertusker elephants which Kelvin let us know was very special as people spend days in the parking hoping to see him! Kelvin was very knowledgeable giving us interesting facts on all the animals and had a great knowledge on the many different bird species too. He made sure we got great pictures and picked us up and got us back to the hotel safely. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore Amboseli in a short time we just wish we had more time and could have stayed overnight! Thank you Kelvin for a day we will never forget.
Amazing safari day trip

5.00This trip was excellent, Edward was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable. Amboseli is teeming with wildlife and we couldn’t believe how many different species we saw in just one day. Highly recommend this tour if you have limited time like we did, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for a great time!
It's a loooooong day on safari

5.00Amboseli National Park is a 4-hour drive per way. We were picked up at 5am and got to the park around 9am (with a pit stop in between). May is not the best time to go on safari as there was less animals and by the afternoon even less as it gets hot and they aren't as active. Our driver did his best to find wildlife and was a pro at driving back to Nairobi in that notorious Kenyan traffic! I slept on the way there but watched how passing cars and navigating the roads where "anything goes" can be tough. Mount Kilimanjaro was slightly visible due to clouds and haze but it was still cool to see. Lunch is included at the lodge on site which was great.
Good experience for a Day Trip to Amboseli NP

5.00The experience of that 1 day trip from Nairobi to Amboseli, and back, been great. Everything is well organized and taken care of, from the on-time pick-up at the hotel, to the entry in the national park, the visits and ride across the parc to see the wild life, and the lunch. A must do ! Huge thanks to Douglas, my guide for the day, who's great at explanation and spotting animals 🙏🏼
Amazing first safari experience

5.00Went with Douglas on this day trip, our day started around 5 AM and I got back around 7 PM so it was a full day. Amazing trip, saw lots of animals up close and personal. You may or may not get to see all the animals in the park, because, they are not uber after all, can't just call them over. Highly recommend!
