ABOUT RUSTIC NATURE TOURS
A more personal
way to explore Kenya.
The places you dream of. The people you choose. A private safari shaped around your journey.
We’re a safari business based in Nairobi, planning private Kenya safaris and day tours for travellers who want an experience that feels their own.
Based in Nairobi, Kenya
Space to make it yours.
OUR APPROACH
A safari starts
with you.
A first safari, time with family, a photography interest or a day beyond the city. Your reason for travelling is where the planning begins.
Choices that fit your journey
Discuss your dates, interests, budget and preferred pace. Accommodation can range from budget stays to mid-range and luxury camps or lodges.
The details deserve a conversation
Road or fly-in, tour minivan or Land Cruiser 4×4: ask what suits your route. Availability, inclusions and suitability are confirmed for the trip you choose.
A DIFFERENT VIEW. A SHARED EXPERIENCE.KENYA, YOUR WAY
A day of discovery.
Or the journey
you’ve imagined.
Start with a destination that draws you in, or tell us what you hope to experience. A private day tour and a longer safari each deserve a plan that makes sense for the time you have.
Maasai Mara is a natural starting point for exploring our safari options. Amboseli and Nairobi day tours offer other ways to begin. Wildlife is wild: sightings, weather and park conditions always vary.

We were able to see so many animals up close. In addition to seeing all the big 5, he pointed out beautiful birds and all kinds of other wildlife. Going before the high season felt like a big win. We didn’t see the wildebeest migration, but we also didn’t have to battle crowds and it felt like we had the park to ourselves. The lodge he booked for us was amazing, and he made our pickup and drop off a seamless experience…

Douglas, Faith, and everyone else were great. We saw lions immediately after landing in Masai Mara, then proceeded to see most of the Big 5 and TONS of other animals, despite it being low season. Lodging accommodations were comfortable with good food and good service.…

Kelvin was great. Very knowledgeable about all the animals. Good driver. Highly recommend Utamandani courtyard restaurant for lunch. Went in May so park wasn't too full. GrassesKelvin was great. Very knowledgeable about all the animals. Good driver. Highly recommend Utamandani courtyard restaurant for lunch. Went in May so park wasn't too full. Grasses were high though because of rainy season limiting view of some animals. Great for a half day excursion when in nairobi. Not the same as going for an overnight on serngheti though…
