Kelvin - the excellent tour guide - We had a great time experiencing the Giraffe sanctuary and the elephant orphanage. Kelvin was an excellent guide. He showed us the best way to feed the giraffes and not stress them out. At the elephant orphanage, Kelvin rushed ahead to make sure we got the best spot for viewing, touching and photographing the elephants. He was an excellent guide.

Thank you, Rustic Nature and Joel! - Excellent! Joel was so nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. He picked us up promptly and brought us to Nairobi Park to see many many animals, and then brought us to the elephant orphanage and to the giraffe center. We only had one day in the Nairobi area and this trip was perfect. We highly recommend Rustic Nature and Joel!!

This was a great tour! - As we were in Nairobi for just one day, we looked for a long time to find a private tour that took in the national park, the elephant orphanage, giraffe centre and Kobe Beads. We had a wonderful guide in Joseph W. Thanks to him we arrived very early at the National Park and were rewarded with seeing a huge array of animals within the first two hours. The day ran smoothly with it being a private tour. We arrived early to queue for orphanage entry guaranteeing a ringside seat and at the giraffe centre we were treated to a vip experience with the giraffes and plenty of photos being taken of us. Kobe beads definitely worth the visit. Joseph took us to an excellent little local restaurant as we wanted traditional food for lunch. We really can’t recommend both the private tour and the driver Joseph enough. Managed to pack so much into our too brief Nairobi visit.

A very special Kenyan experience!. - I had such a wonderful morning with Denish as my guide! He knew I was excited about seeing the elephants at the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and so he made sure I got there early and had a front row place. He also took me to the Giraffe centre before the crowds, where I had a chance to spend time feeding them. He was a friendly and informed guide who gave me a great Kenyan experience. Thank you Denish - you made my trip extra special. I hope I can come back and do it again. Jill.

Great experience - Visiting the elephant orphanage and the giraffe centre is definitely worth it. Supporting the orphanage is a must, they are doing tremendous job. Our guide Douglas was kind and helpful, the trip was smooth and pleasant.

- It was a very interesting place to visit. Although I can appreciate the purpose of the shelter. I was a little disappointed because there were so many people there at the same time, it was difficult to get close to the elephants. So it was more of a lecture with watching the elephants from afar.
