Do this tour with Rustic Nature Tours! We had the most fantastic experience at the Giraffe Centre, followed by a humbling experience with the cutest baby elephants at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and then an educational experience at Kobe Tough Beads and finally a very delicious lunch to end our day. Kevin from Rustic Nature Tours enabled us to take away not just photos and wonderful memories but also provided us with an education around these beautiful animals and what the Kenyan people are trying so desperately to achieve with repopulation. Asante sana!!
I was honored to have Kevin today as my guide. He was incredible.If you’re looking for a unique experience, call Kevin.

Dennis was a great guide - he was very knowledgeable about Kenya and it was a perfect half day trip, and felt safe the whole time as a solo traveler! The elephant orphanage was especially cute.

We had the most amazing day with Kelvin, what a wonderful guide he is; friendly, polite, professional, helpful and flexible. He has a good sense of humour and he is a fountain of knowledge. He could answer all of our questions and had some great tips too. The lunch location was fabulous and we enjoyed every moment of the trip. We would definitely book with Kelvin again and recommend him very highly. The memories we made today will stay with us forever. Thank you Kelvin!

Great Tour hosted by a great guide Victor. I enjoyed the presentation at the Elephant Orphange as well as seeing those cuties. The Bomas of Kenya performances were very entertaining and you might be lucky enough to dance with them! The auditorium was huge and well kept. Victor also stopped by the bead center were the ladies showed me the process of bead making and I was even given a cute Elephant 🐘 model as a gift. The ladies also performed a welcoming song for the guests which was soo warm and welcoming. Awesome tour overall and Victor is such a gem to have take me around solo!
Coming back soon!

I had the most amazing time in this beautiful city thanks to Kelvin. First he took me to the elephant sanctuary where you can enjoy all these baby elephants and see how well are they treated. After that we went to a place where there were a group of women and a few men making some beautiful things. You can see the process and buy everything. Lastly we were to a restaurant to eat some good local food and to the bomas of Kenya where you can see how all the tribes look like and enjoy their beautiful dances. I am definetily coming back to Kenya and taking my family to a safari with Kalvin.
Amazing and relaxing day trip

Kelvin was a great driver and guide for our last day in Nairobi, making it a beautiful memory! He is fun, insightful, passionate and knows all the tips and tricks to make the most of each visit (how to be first row for the orphanages, perfect timing and insights at Bomas and great local food on the way). He was also very arranging with pick-up and drop-off which made our last day very relaxing as we didn't need to worry about our bags or the timing for our flights
