Clear filterBest Day Ever with Rustic Nature Tours
Published on Oct, 2024
As a solo female traveler, I did my due diligence of research looking for a provider to take me on a day tour from Nairobi. I saw Rustic Nature tours recommended on several different Facebook sites that I follow and in particular had seen recommendations from other solo travelers so I gave them a call to set up a private tour. I am so glad that I chose them because the trip was perfection. I could not have asked anymore from them or from the guide they provided, Linus, who was absolutely the best I could have ever gotten. This was hands-down, the best day that I had in Kenya. I toured Hells Gate, Lake Naivasha and Crescent Island. The weather had rain in the forecast, and I was very concerned that we were going to be rained out. However, Linus was in constant contact with people in the area we were traveling to to make sure that everything was going to be OK and he was ready to rearrange as necessary. Luckily I did everything that I wanted to do before the rain appeared. Linus went out of his way to make sure that I was comfortable and getting the experience that I wanted. After picking up a bike for the ride through Hells Gate, Linus followed me with the vehicle to make sure I had everything I needed. That way I did not have to carry my backpack or worry about water. Also he told me if I got tired we could just pack up the bike and drive from that point. He was there when I needed him, especially when I had a flat tire. Not sure what I would’ve done if he hadn’t been there. When we exited the park. I saw other drivers and vehicles just waiting for their clients to come back. Linus gave me the personal attention that I desired during this trip and really took care of me as a solo female traveler. He also made sure I didn’t miss any important sites. At one point he told me to park the bike and we went on a short nature walk. To my surprise, he took me right to baboon colony that I got to photograph. It was spectacular. I would have never known it was there if Linus hadn’t have been there to show me the way. Throughout the day, he also had my camera taking videos and photos of me experiencing Hells Gate and Crescent Island. These are memories that I will never forget that he captured - me riding the bike alongside zebras and walking amongst the giraffes were just two of the highlights of the day. This day exceeded all of my expectations and I would highly recommend Rustic Nature tours and don’t forget to request Linus as your guide, you will not be disappointed.
Hell’s Gate and Lake Navaisha
Published on Jul, 2024
Douglas was our guide and driver. Our tour was to Hell’s Gate and Lake Navaisha, approximately 2 hours from Nairobi on a heavily travelled road. Douglas did a fantastic job of navigating the many trucks, motorcycles and other motorists. He was generous with his time and knowledge. We enjoyed having lunch with and learning about his culture and family. Would highly recommend.
Great day trip from Nairobi
Published on Jun, 2024
Fantastic tour i would defintely recommed this if you are in Kenya. Punctual, friendly and very well organised. The boat ride was a highlight seeing hippos in the water, and all the animals and bird life on the island, especially the eagles catching fish from m the water. Cycling through the valley is a great experience. Dennis our driver was great and made sure we were where we needed to be!
Wonderful Experience
Published on May, 2024
Wonderful experience made even more wonderful by stellar hosts. Denish arrived at my hotel and was a great driver over the 2 hour ride to the park, stopping at an overlook of the great rift valley. We arrived at Hell’s Gate and Reagan took me though the part with an excellent knowledge of the land, wildlife who inhabit the park and the people who once inhabited the area. Highly recommended this trip! Would consider, unless very hungry, to skip the lunch portion and continue straight to the boat ride for a quicker return to Nairobi. Again many thanks to Reagan and Denish for being wonderful hosts!
Unforgettable experience!

Kelvin picked me up from the airport and drove through the Rift Valley. We stopped at a view point that was stunning! He is very knowledgeable about history, nature, geography and other facts! Kelvin had a lovely surprise prepared for me when we got to Hell’s Gate… A brilliant bike guide, Gadafi, that speaks Spanish among a bunch of other languages! Gadafi rode with us through the reserve, explained us a lot about the surroundings in a very kind and attentive manner. After the bike tour, we had lunch at lake Naivasha and then I got to enjoy a fantastic boat tour through the lake, that is full of wildlife. We passed very close to different families of hippos! The tour was magnificent and would definitely repeat it in my next travel to Nairobi! Asante, my friend.
