  • Karen Blixen Museum

    (OPTIONAL)Nestled in Nairobi's leafy suburbs, the Karen Blixen Museum stands as a timeless testament to the famed author of "Out of Africa". The guided tour unveils a house frozen in time, echoing tales from the 20th-century colonial Kenya. The original furniture, personal artifacts, and photographs provide an intimate glimpse into Blixen's life. Knowledgeable guides weave tales of her adventures, love affairs, challenges, and profound connection to the Kenyan landscape. The expansive gardens, once part of her coffee plantation, resonate with her pioneering spirit. Each room, especially her preserved study, where her literary masterpieces were birthed, offers an immersive experience into her world, making the tour not just an exploration of a house, but a deep dive into the life of an iconic figure in literature and Kenyan history.

Elephants, Beads, Giraffes, oh my!

Published on Feb, 2025

I booked this tour last minute through Viator but in hindsight would have preferred to book directly with the service company. Kelvin was super informative of the animals, very accommodating, and gave me some extra recommendations for after my tour. He was very patient with my questions and how long I wanted to take at each location. Would recommend!

Wonderful visit to the Giraffe Center and Sheldrick Trust elephant orphanage!

Published on Feb, 2025

This was a really special experience! The giraffe center was wonderful, and the Sheldrick Trust elephant orphanage was next level. Sam, my guy, was kind, knowledgeable, and engaging. I truly enjoyed my time spent with him and would recommend this tour to anyone.

We went on this day trip with Denish and Purity. We had a wonderful experience. They greeted us at the hotel promptly, our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. They took us to a great spot for lunch. This is a must try experience if in Nairobi!

Perfect day in Kenya with baby elephants and giraffes

Published on Jan, 2025

Kelvin at Rustic Nature tours made our first day so special in Kenya. He is an extremely experienced guide who is passionate about the animals, people, and culture in his country. We had a spectacular day because of his wealth of knowledge, and positive spirit. We were able to get incredible pictures and experience the baby elephants and giraffes up close because he is determined to have his guests have the best day ever. When in Kenya, we highly recommend booking the Baby Elephant and Giraffe Sanctuary tour with Rustic Nature Tours!
