A trip with a few regrets
The driver I encountered during my travels in five African countries was the one with the least service awareness.
Response from the operator: Dear Jian, We are glad you had a full service. Importantly you cannot go against the itenerary. The guide gave the details of safari and we follow the set itenerary to the latter. You were offered a full service. All the best!

Fabulous.
What an absolutely fabulous 2 days with our guide Douglas., Amboselli couldn’t have given us anymore if it tried., Douglas our guide was 11/10 he went above and beyond showing us all the animals but my husband lost his phone and he went over and above to help.
Response from the operator: Dear Rabecca, Thank you for your gracious review. We are happy you had a fantastic, fabulous safari holiday with us! This shows our passions and dedication in what we do. A true picture of rustic nature tours. Welcome again as always! Thank and see you soon!

Wonderful tour, led by our guide Douglas, with an abundance of fantastic animals!
We booked a private safari with Rustic Nature Tours and had Douglas lead our safari. It was an excellent experience, Douglas was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and navigated to the best spots for us to see elephants, lions, giraffes, hyenas, hippos and lots more! We loved his style of leading the safari, knowing when to be quiet and give us time with the animals, and when to chime in with interesting facts. We initially thought that 1 night may not be enough, but we were pleasantly surprised with how much we were able to see over one weekend! We also stayed at Kibo which exceeded our expectations and was beautiful - another highlight for the trip. We would recommend this tour company for anyone looking to go to Amboselli!! Check out some of our snaps below!
Response from the operator: Dear Tweeddale, Thank you for your gracious review. We are happy you had a fantastic safari experience with us! This shows our passions and dedication in what we do. A true picture of rustic nature tours. We look forward to our next trip with passion and professionalism. Welcome again! Thank and see you soon

Nature is unpredictable,but Kelvin's commitment to you having a great trip is unwavering. Don't go with anyone else!
This was my 3rd safari trip with Kelvin and I'm never disappointed. He's become a good friend, I always feel very safe with him and know he'll guarantee a great experience. He gets to know what you like and tailors the trip, ensuring the accommodation, journey and game drives are perfect. He's friendly and knowledgeable, answering our many questions about wildlife and Kenya. He knows the parks like the back of his hand and uses his instincts to ensure if there's things to see you'll see them! Often, when the parks are busy, there can be many jeeps around the animals (especially lions) You can rely on Kelvin to get to a good spot for a great view, predicting where the animals will head so you can get ahead of the other keeps. But we also had many encounters where it was just us and the animals, he knows how to handle the crowds but also how to get away from them! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, you can guarantee a safe, tailored, memorable trip, and a new friendship! Thanks Kelvin, until next time! xx
Response from the operator: Dear Lindsay, It's always warm and a pleassure to share magical Kenya with you. We are passionate and dedicated at what we do. Can't wait to see you a fourth time and share this precious blessings. With alot of gratitude,

Amboseli magical tour, thanks Kelvin!
We had the most amazing trip to Amboseli from Nairobi with an overnight at Sibo Safari Lodge where we were lucky enough to meet Casper the supertusker. The game drives were really great and Kelvin managed to tick all our boxes! Would definitely recommend.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Days Amboseli Park Overnight Private Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 2 Days Amboseli Park Overnight Private Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $495 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Days Amboseli Park Overnight Private Safari take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is 2 Days Amboseli Park Overnight Private Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Amboseli Park Overnight Private Safari?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Days Amboseli Park Overnight Private Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Amboseli Park Overnight Private Safari?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Amboseli Park Overnight Private Safari start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 2 Days Amboseli Park Overnight Private Safari?
+
Included: Entrance fees Amboseli national park; Lunch; Pick up and drop off at your hotel/residence; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Tips & gratuities; Entrance fee for activities noted as optional; and Travel insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2 Days Amboseli Park Overnight Private Safari include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is 2 Days Amboseli Park Overnight Private Safari offered in?
+
