Elephant Sanctuary and Giraffe Centre, Nairobi - Our day visiting the Elephant Orphanage, and Giraffe Centre was truly unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Dennis. From the moment he picked us up, Dennis was warm, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. His driving was smooth and safe throughout Nairobi’s busy roads which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the experience. Dennis was patient, friendly and always happy to answer questions. At each location he explained what we were seeing and gave helpful tips so we could get the most out of the visit. The elephant orphanage and giraffe centre were incredible experiences, and Dennis made the day flow perfectly so we never felt stressed or hurried. His local knowledge and genuine enthusiasm made the tour feel personal rather than just another stop on a schedule. If you are lucky enough to have Dennis as your driver and guide, you are in excellent hands. He is a true professional and a wonderful ambassador for Kenya. We would highly recommend him to anyone wanting an authentic, enjoyable and well-organised day exploring Nairobi. Thank you Dennis for such a memorable experience! 🐘🦒🌿

Fantastic Premium Tour - We wanted to be in a small group and wanted to do a half day tour to experience the amazing elephant orphanage in Nairobi National Park and the giraffes sanctuary. We also didn’t want to have to go out too early having only just arrived. Kelvin of ‘Rustic Nature Tours’ delivered this all perfectly for us. A she took us to a community project supporting local women with making beautiful beads which was wonderful. He was very knowledgable and interesting and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and this company. They also do all sorts of Safaris so we will contact him again when we return. PS please note separate to any tour booking the guest must pay a park fee per person and it’s best to do this in advance via the National park website

AMAZING day unforgettable and ask for Faith!!! - Had such an amazing trip with Faith - she was incredible! Hotel pick up was easy and the car was good. She was so kind and knowledgeable and we had an amazing time. At the elephant sanctuary she rushed ahead and grabbed us the BESTTTTTTT spot for seeing the baby elephants!!! Was amazing. The park admission fees are not included so bare in mind that you will have to pay the before going to the Sheldrick trust. But that’s no worries but good to be be aware.

A TEN-Star Experience with Faith - Faith was absolutely amazing and made our time in Nairobi so special. She took us to the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and somehow got us the best spot to see all the babies up close, which made the experience even more unforgettable. After that, we visited the Giraffe Sanctuary where she knew every giraffe by name and even helped take the most beautiful photos of us. Faith also took us shopping and went above and beyond when I realized I needed a bigger bag, taking extra time to bring me to the mall without hesitation. On top of that, she even took us to an additional attraction that I had accidentally already purchased tickets for, making sure nothing went to waste. She was kind, knowledgeable, patient, and truly cared about making our experience perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Faith to anyone visiting Nairobi. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Magical experience with an awesome and passionate guide - Do this tour with Rustic Nature Tours! We had the most fantastic experience at the Giraffe Centre, followed by a humbling experience with the cutest baby elephants at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and then an educational experience at Kobe Tough Beads and finally a very delicious lunch to end our day. Kevin from Rustic Nature Tours enabled us to take away not just photos and wonderful memories but also provided us with an education around these beautiful animals and what the Kenyan people are trying so desperately to achieve with repopulation. Asante sana!!
