5.00Had such an amazing trip with Faith - she was incredible! Hotel pick up was easy and the car was good. She was so kind and knowledgeable and we had an amazing time. At the elephant sanctuary she rushed ahead and grabbed us the BESTTTTTTT spot for seeing the baby elephants!!! Was amazing. The park admission fees are not included so bare in mind that you will have to pay the before going to the Sheldrick trust. But that’s no worries but good to be be aware.
A TEN-Star Experience with Faith

5.00Faith was absolutely amazing and made our time in Nairobi so special. She took us to the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and somehow got us the best spot to see all the babies up close, which made the experience even more unforgettable. After that, we visited the Giraffe Sanctuary where she knew every giraffe by name and even helped take the most beautiful photos of us. Faith also took us shopping and went above and beyond when I realized I needed a bigger bag, taking extra time to bring me to the mall without hesitation. On top of that, she even took us to an additional attraction that I had accidentally already purchased tickets for, making sure nothing went to waste. She was kind, knowledgeable, patient, and truly cared about making our experience perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Faith to anyone visiting Nairobi. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best day ever with the best Guide!

5.00Do 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.

5.00Dennis 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.
