Incredible day

Incredible experience with Kelvin. Arrived spot on time, and was greeted with a friendly run down of what we would be doing for the day. We started at the Nairobi national park and entry went super smooth, was incredible we saw so much including the Rhinos & Lions. The vehicle had great views all around and we took plenty of excellent photographs. We could not believe how many people Kelvin knew, and this knowledge of animals and birds was amazing. We then visited the Sheldrick Elephant orphanage, which again was an excellent experience, Kelvin making sure that we were in the best position to see the elephants, baby Rhino & baby Zebra. We then had lunch at great cafe called Makutano Grill which we would also highly recommend. We then finished the day with a visit to the Giraffe centre and again Kelvin made sure we were in a great spot and even gave us his food to give to the Giraffes. I cannot recommend Kelvin highly enough and will look for him for a future trip to Kenya / Uganda in a couple of years time. Thank you so much

We did the day trip with Joel. He was so kind and patient. We were excited to get so close to rhino’s (white as well as black!), but never too close or in the animals space. We did the national park, sheldrick rescue and giraffe centre and loved how easy Joel made it for us.
Faith was fantastic!

Kelvin from Rustic Nature Tours was amazing! He was punctual, informative and was made sure we had a good view and experienced front row views. Our first safari experience was through Nairobi National Park where Kelvin knew the area intimately. He was able to navigate quickly to see animals and had a vast knowledge of each animal. I would highly recommend this company.

My private tour with Faith was truly amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable, fun, and made the whole experience unforgettable. Faith guided me to the best spots to feed the elephants, did a photo shoot of me while feeding the giraffes, and captured incredible photos. I had such a fun time. By the end of the tour, she felt like a friend. Ask for Faith—you’ll be really lucky if you get her!

I really enjoyed seeing the elephants and how they were rescued. We got to see them bottle fed, play together, roll in the mud! We also fed giraffes and they were adorable. The best part of our trip was our guide and driver named Faith. She was upbeat, seem to know and love everyone and shared information about her culture, family, and life in Africa.

Kelvin was an outstanding guide throughout our journey to the National Park. His deep knowledge of the park’s wildlife and landscapes enriched every moment of our safari. From the very beginning, Kelvin made us feel completely at ease, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. His ability to be in the right place at the right time allowed us to witness some truly unforgettable sights. What stood out most was his attentiveness to our interests—he tailored the experience to match our pace and preferences, making it a truly personalized adventure. Thanks to Kelvin, this trip has become a cherished lifelong memory.
