Amazing. The best tour in Kenya!! - This tour, led by our guide Kelvin, was hands down the best tour in Kenya to see the natural landscape and the wildlife of the countryside. Over two days, we were able to see all the animals we wanted. The lodging was incredible, as was the food!
Kelvin was also extremely knowledgeable about the local ecosystem which helped us learn about all that we were seeing. I would not hesitate to book this adventure again!!

This is Elephant heaven!! - An Amazing place, where hundreds of elephants can be seen moving so close you can use your phone for wonderful pictures.
Right in front of the Majestic Kilimanjaro Mountain
Rustic Nature Tours were so experienced, taking us to the best spot for the best views of the Elephants crossing in front of Kilimanjaro & there were so many to watch with their enormous tusks & mothers with tiny babies.
A wonderful place to visit

Highly recommend Rustic Nature Tours - We had a perfect experience with Rustic Nature Tours. I spent one day with Kaloki in Nairobi visiting the Nairobi National Park, Elephant orphanage, and Giraffe Manor. Kaloki was on time, flexible and somehow managed to help skip many of the lines thanks to his experience and familiarity with the different locations. Our second trip was to Amboseli for our group of four. Again, Kaloki was on time and we always felt safe with him behind the wheel on the four hour drive in both directions from Nairobi. He knew just where to take us to see all the wildlife that was out and about coordinating with other guides in the park. He made sure we got the best position the pack of other safari vehicles to get up close with the elephants and lions and other wildlife for photos and viewing. I would absolutely recommend and use Rustic Nature Tours again.

Fabulous visit to Amboseli NP - Our guide Simon was at our hotel right on time to leave for the National Park. Simon shared lots of information about the area on our drive to Amboseli and he was thoughtful about stops along the way to stretch, grab a snack, use a bathroom, look at local art, etc. The Kibo Safari Camp lodge accommodations were great and luxurious. We did multiple game drives with Simon and he knew the area extremely well and we had fabulous sightings including a lion, hyena, and tons of giraffes, buffalos, zebra. wildabeast, antelope, a thousand elephants, stunning birds and more. Simon arranged for us to visit a Massai village and never rushed us and was willing to get up and go super early so we could be in the park for sunrise and to stay late so we could be in the park for sunset. I’m ready to go again!

Excellent Safari - Excellent, a good two-day Safari, with a very professional and attentive driver and guide, a night spent in a lodge in Amboseli, a truly superb place.
Lots of animals to see with Kilimanjaro in the background.

Seamlessly successful safari! - I quickly booked a short trip to Amboseli and back at the tail end of a business trip to Nairobi, and it was absolutely perfect. Communication was quick and effective before and during the trip, with pick and drop off at a private residence no problem. I had the excellent and knowledgeable Douglas all to myself as guide, and his experience was such an asset to make sure I always had the best possible view. That man can thread a minivan through the eye of a needle! On two game drives through the park we saw a lion, cheetahs, gazelle, hippo, buffalo, flamingoes and many many elephants! And all of this with majestic Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. Lots of zebra and giraffe both in and out of the park, as well as some ostriches. A fantastic experience, even in the low season. Highly recommend!

Lioness Conjurer - Must Go With Rustic Tours! - Okay - so it was a last-minute decision. I'm a planner. I'm in Nairobi for work with a weekend in the middle and I thought I need to get out of the city - so do a safari.
I read review after review... And then I started reading about Rustic Nature Tours and Kelvin.
He picks me up at the hotel and I pretty much say - cats. I'm going for the cats.
And he got me the most phenomenal cat experience. The only reason I don't have photos on here is because I shot all video.
But basically the story does like this...Before we start the game drive he says I'm going to get some cats to cross in front of us. *spoiler alert*
Off in the distance there were three lionesses. It was evening, about 5.00 p.m. And you could see them pop up their heads every so often. There was a paparazzi of safari cruisers around us. People coming and going, getting impatient. But not us.
Then Kelvin says: "Give it another half hour." By that point is was 6'ish.
And there it went in about 10m after, they got up and started on a trajectory that all of a sudden Kelvin told me they are going to cross the trail!
Long story short after fighting through all the other safari cars, he pushes forward and stops. And what do they do? They walk RIGHT BY our car and then cross right in front. The only way they could've gotten closer was if they jumped in the car.
His instinct is incredible.
So if you are reading this review, I'm serious, true story this is the tour company to go with.
I can't wait to come back and plan a longer trip.
Thank you so much Kelvin!!
