An experience we will never forget with Kelvin - We were very lucky to have a brilliant tour guide for our tour called Kelvin. From the moment he picked us up from our hotel to saying goodbye. He was so knowledgeable and great fun, we all enjoyed our time with him and the places we visited. He made our day very special and one we will never forget. Thank you!

Amazing tour, shout out to Kelvin - Kelvin was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing and made the tour so informative and unforgettable. The giraffe center was beautiful and we were able to feed the giraffes and learn about them and the center’s mission. Kelvin captured the moments for us. The elephant orphanage is a bucket list item, so emotional yet beautiful. Then we went to Kobe Tough to learn about a women owned bead and pottery business that employees single mothers! Kelvin answered questions and explained everything as we drove through different parts of Nairobi.10/10 would recommend this tour.

20/20 - Fantastic tour! I had so much fun and learned a lot! Kelvin Was great! So fun to talk to and was an amazing guide! I had a mix up with my flight and landed 6am the morning of our tour rather then the night before he was so accommodating in picking me up. I Highly recommend using Rustic natural tours and I and I cannot wait for my next adventure!

Will Never forget - Wonderful to see the baby elephants being bottle fed & the care & dedication shown by the keepers. Kelvin our Guide & Felix our driver were knowledgeable & could not do enough to make our time with them the best experience We went on to see the Giraffe centre where we were allowed to feed these giants with special food given to us at the start. A lovely afternoon & so nice to see that Kelvin was loving every minute with the animals too

Unforgettable Experiences - Visiting these centers are a must when in Nairobi. This tour was perfect and easy for visiting. They did a great job helping us order the proper entry tickets ahead of the trip, and they were efficient and informative getting us between the places. The experiences are as advertised and unforgettable. Do not hesitate to book.

Sam was a very friendly... - Sam was a very friendly and attentive guide. He took photos of me feeding the giraffes and showed me the best place to watch the baby elephants. I had a great day. Unfortunately, the additional booking required for the entrance fee to the national park is complicated and time-consuming. You should be prepared for this.

Very expensive for what is offered - The tour is very expensive for what is offered. The time on the tours is short, and the entry there national park (43 dollars per person) is paid the part. That is, the value is basically for the person to take you to the tours. The city is hot and the driver did not turn on the air conditioning. When we asked to call, she called for about 10 minutes and then simply turned off without saying anything. It is better to go from uber to tours, with air conditioning.

Just a taxi to the two sites. - This is just a driver. No tour happens. Driver did not do one thing but drive. Not sure what we paid for. Just take a taxi. Plus $44 extra per person for park entry fee. Company knows people hate a price that is not all-in. Dumb practice. Elephant center and giraffe center give nice tours. This viator option just has no point band is misleading
