What To Expect

Nairobi National Park

Nairobi, the worlds only wildlife capital is home to the Nairobi National Park. Being the only protected wildlife area in the world within a city, this park offers one the opportunity to see at least four of the big five which include Lions, Rhinos(both black & white), Buffalos, and the elusive rare Leopard. If you have limited stay in Nairobi , lay over or as well on a vacation to Nairobi, then this park is strategic to have a taste of what Kenya has to offer. Land at the airport , lay over, have your safari to the park on the same day and back to the airport for your next flight! An early morning departure, where possible, ideally means cool temperatures and chances of sporting free-roaming animals in the savanna. The pop-up safari vehicle will give you the perfect view of Nairobi capital skyline and skyscrapers at the backdrop of your safari! Get to visit the historic ivory & rhino horn burning site located inside the park. Optional baby elephants visit at will. See them get milk.

We had a great time, Kelvin was very knowledgable about all the animals we saw, (including about birds!!), took us to a lovely place for lunch and made sure we got the best views at the elephant trust. Highly recommend booking with him.
Brilliant helpful host supporting a walking disability client and interested in photography

Kelvin has been the most wonderful caring host. We booked an Elephant Orphanage & Gifaffe tour for the morning. He arrived promptly, and we were comfortable with him immediately. We were there when the Giraffe center opened, enabling us to feed the Giraffes before the hoards arrived. Next, we went to the Elephant 0 once again parked promptly near the entrance to make sure my husband with a walking disability was catered for. He took us in and made sure my husband & I were positioned in the best viewing place. After asking him about the Nairobi National Park with, we asked him if he wasn't busy in the afternoon could he take us. He understood everything we were interested in, and gave us the time to embrace & photograph anything we were interested in. His passion for photography matched ours & we will most likely be booking a photography safari in the future
Great full day in Nairobi main attractions

We had a great experience with our guide Peter who responded quickly to last minute requests and communication. He sought to find all the animals the kids wanted to see. He was flexible also when our son got sick and needes time to rest in the car. He helped us get best spots at the elephant orphanage for the feedings.
Kelvin is a superstar!!!

This safari was amazing, we saw so many animals & our guide Kelvin was an absolute legend. He knew exactly where to go and when to be there to capture every money shot & unforgettable experience. He was always first, knew absolutely everyone and completely made this experience. His knowledge of the animals and their habitat was incredibly impressive. I was travelling with friends but will definitely re-book with Kelvin when I bring my family to Kenya.
Excellent tour for our family!

This tour was the best thing I did in Nairobi. We were able to see lions, rhinos, elephants and so on :). Our guide was a really great person. He was so friendly and did his best to show us all the animals. ( I am sorry I do not remember guide’s name, but he is the one whose sister works in Nairobi National Park)

Rustic Nature planned everything just as we wanted. I wanted to take my 4 children (aged 6-11), husband and father in law on a safari day. Taking in Nairobi national park, the elephant orphanage and the giraffe centre with lunch at carnivore. I particularly wanted an open sided vehicle for the national park game drive so the kids could get a better view rather than a pop up roof they wouldn’t be tall enough to see out of. Rustic nature organised this all perfectly for us and we didn’t have to wait long in the queues at the gate in the morning. We told Kelvin our guide that we especially wanted to see lions and rhinos as a lot of the other animals we had already seen at Lake Naivasha. He didn’t disappoint! We got to see both white and black rhinos close up, and a wonderful group of lionesses with several lion cubs…truly special! We saw lots of other animals too thanks to our guide’s knowledge of the park. I’d been to Nairobi national park previously and didn’t really enjoy it as we didn’t see that much but it really helps when your guide knows the park well. At the elephant orphanage Kelvin made sure we got a spot at the front so we could all get as close as possible to the baby elephants, and then at the giraffe centre we got a member of staff to ourselves to help us get lovely photos feeding the giraffes as well as some info about the giraffes and work of the centre. I feel this is all down to Kelvin and the connections he has with the place you visit that help you have that extra special experience. It was truly a day we will remember forever!
Day safari, elephants and giraffes.

Brilliant day trip. Great communication by WhatsApp before the trip. National park - found out what we really wanted to see and made sure we did. Gave just the right time at each spot and always checked whether we were happy to move on. Knowledgable about everything we saw, including birds. When in the park you see fancier vehicles, but this one is actually kitted out perfectly, with good high raisable roof, grab rails right where you need them, pouches for binoculars & cameras, charging points, plenty of space, & spotlessly clean. Elephants - timed our arrival to perfection and escorted us to viewing spot. Lunch - found out what kind of thing we wanted and took us to the perfect place. Giraffes - escorted us in. Kelvin seems to know everyone at every place and they’re all happy to see him. Sensible driving! Impeccably polite, genuinely keen to make sure we had a good day.
