Great visit to Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and Nairobi National Park
My family had an amazing safari ride with Kelvin! He was easy to communicate throughout the process. He picked us up promptly on the day of our safari. First animal that we saw was a rhino!! Nairobi National Park is a sanctuary for white and black rhinos. The highlight of the day was visiting Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. The daily feeding time each day is 11:00 AM to noon. Kelvin got us there in plenty of time and guided us to the perfect viewing spot!! We thoroughly enjoyed the feeding and hearing the rescue stories about each elephant. We highly recommend Kelvin and Rustic Nature Tours!!!

10/10 experience
Had a great experience with Kelvin. He picked us up early, at our request and made sure we got to the elephant orphanage in time to have a front row of the animals. He was very knowledgeable about the all the animals we saw. We saw all 4 of the big 5 that are present at the national park. We saw black and white rhinos, and a pride of lions.
And he also took some amazing pictures that he shared with us later. I highly recommend booking with Kelvin.

When looking for half day nairobi park safari Book this one with confidence
Kelvin was great. Very knowledgeable about all the animals. Good driver. Highly recommend Utamandani courtyard restaurant for lunch. Went in May so park wasn't too full. Grasses were high though because of rainy season limiting view of some animals.
Great for a half day excursion when in nairobi. Not the same as going for an overnight on serngheti though

Great experience with Rustic Nature Tours and Kelvin
Booking was very smooth, quick feedback and informative (and helpful in customizing to our needs).
Kelvin was a great guide, super knowledgeable and very service minded.
Pick-up on time, comfortable jeep - in short our strongest recommendations in using Rustic Nature Tours (and ask for Kelvin as your guide)!

10/10 Would recommend!
We had a fantastic time on our safari with Rustic Nature Tours! We only had one day in Nairobi and the Safari tour of Nairobi National Park covered everything! We saw all the animals we wanted to and even more we didn’t think we would get to see! Our guide was super knowledgeable and was amazing at getting us the best vantage points to see the animals. He was lovely and took great care of us throughout the day. Rustic Nature Tours were incredibly easy to book with, even though we booked fairly last minute. Would definitely recommend for anyone thinking of doing this tour!

Great day out!
Highly recommend this tour! Our audience, Douglas, was very knowledgeable and we saw so much in the national park during our drive. Douglas also got us a great spot for the elephant orphanage, which was also a great experience. This tour is also a great option if travelling with young children

The best safari tour in Nairobi! Highly recommended
Incredible experience start to finish. Kelvin is super friendly and knowledgeable about wildlife. His expert knowledge of the park meant I was able to see a wide variety of wildlife including Zebras, Lions, Rhinos, Hippos and more. The stop at the elephant sanctuary is a must where you can see 15 rescued baby elephants. Highly recommend Kelvin for this tour, he did everything he could to make sure I got some great views and pictures.
