Tour guide was excellent but be prepared to pay more in Kenya
Overall the tour was very good, our tour guide Jacob knew the Masai Mara like the back of his hand and found us more wildlife than we could have imagined possible.
The only thing that lets the tour down slightly is what you get for the price compared to other safaris in countries like South Africa. I’ve done a lot of safaris and it was more than twice the price in Kenya so you kind of expect somethings to be better - our hotel was amazing but the beds were not particularly comfortable and our lunch that was included on the last day wasn’t actually at our nice hotel it was just on the way home somewhere which wasn’t great. We would have also liked to see a bit more of the Mara Triangle rather than just the bit of park we were in as we had 3 nights, so maybe next time we will ensure the hotel is in that area.
also our car broke down a few times and especially for photography it would have been nice to have a different style - eg open sides etc. This is down the the tour operator not our driver.
As I said, for wildlife and seeing what we wanted Jacob overdelivered. His knowledge was amazing, knew how to position the vehicle perfectly for photos and he showed us so many big cats we couldn’t keep count.
I would give Jacob our driver above a 5/5 but the few other points I’ve made are something right choice can improve on going forwards.
Little things and it was almost perfect.

Helpful and friendly
Travel agency is very Co operative and friendly.
From airport to airport drop they provided services.
Nairobi hotel stay in Best Western Meridian was very good. Local Travel and local guide were ok.
Travel in Land Cruiser to Masai Mara was very good. Stay in Simba lodge there was good, rooms were very good, vegetarian food there was good, but they don't provide drinking water in breakfast lunch and dinner and you have to buy drinking water, that's bad. In rooms also they provide half litre bottle per person per day, additional you have to buy. Hotel staff and driver were friendly and helpful.

A wonderful experience
We had Apollo for our driver and he was excellent at making sure we saw the best of everything at the Masai Mara. He also provided great information on the drive to and from Nairobi. I would highly recommend this company. We plan to use them again on future trips

simply - EXCELLENT
It was wonderful days with friends and our dear guide George. The Right Choice company was perfect at every step.
It was very easy to communicate with this company that I rate it EXTREME CONFIDENCE, the ease with which they answered questions was phenomenal... they were tireless in the emails to clear all doubts until we concluded the deal in a smooth way. They are completely trustworthy and ethical.
As for our guide who quickly went from being a guide to being a friend, I rate George as the best Safari guide in Kenya.
His dedication and commitment to showing us the animals was the envy of others, who ended up following us. Respectful and affectionate did everything to make this experience the best. I can't get enough to say that George was really nice and understanding, when we needed anything he was always willing to do it, which helped to make our experience even more unforgettable. He showed great professionalism and empathy, which turned a good service into a phenomenal one. That's why we want to commend your work.
As for the Kenyan people, their people are friendly, caring and hospitable. Best trip I've ever taken (and as promised to George, in 2024 we'll be back)

3 Days Amboseli
Absolutely excellent.
Our guide Ken is amazing and we totally recommend him. The tour was our first safari and with the backdrop of Kilimanjaro is stunning. Our lodge was great.

THE VERY BEST
MR. GEORGE & HIS TEAM ARE THE BEST TOUR OPERATORS IN KENYA. TOTALLY RELIABLE & THEY GIVE YOU THE BEST IN EVERYTHING.
I VISITED AMBOSELI, NAIVASHA & MAASAI MARA. I GOT THE BEST SERVICE I GOT. OUR GUIDE MR. JOSHUA WAS ALSO VERY GOOD.
ALL THE BEST TO THEM. I WILL COME BACK AGAIN.

excellent, safe and knowledgeable
me and my partner was skeptical about booking a safari via a non uk tour operator but we glad we did. everything was great.
Before the trip we went back and forward with them to make sure we selected the best camp for our needs.
We ran in to complications with our flight and needed to change our collection time.
No issues. they were super flexible and collected us from the airport at 5am!
The car was clean and perfect for off-roading
Are driver Joshua made us feel comfortable enough with his steady driving to fall asleep on the way to the reserve.
We also had no issues if the weather/terrain for driving was compromised (compared with some others in older cars!)
Mara bush camp was great and he standards beyond expectation.
game drivers were enjoyable and Joshua's knowledge of the animals and the reserve was fantastic.
we asked so many questions and he responded well. you could tell it wasn't just a job for Joshua but something he loved
Have told my friends about the service and if ever in Kenya again will definitely rebook with Right choice safaris

He is great and knowledgeable.
It was a wonderful experience with Right Choice. The hotel and food were great than we expected. The tour guy/drive (his name is Jacob) is very good. We were lucky we saw a lot of animals. The people in Kenya are very nice. Bring more changes for tips. Highly recommended Right Choice for Safaris.

Amazing experience with incredible guide and professional team
We recently visited Kenya and Tanzania on a tour organized by Right Choice, and had an unforgettable experience. Our trip designer, George, was helpful and prompt in responding to our numerous email and always contactable by whatapp Our trip included a safari in both the Maasai Mara,Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti Central, Serengeti North and Tarangire.
Each of our accommodations were comfortable, the food was great, and the staff were both welcoming and helpful.
We love the experience and the hotels. It was a dream trip lived intensely and that exceeded all our expectations. Of course, our guide, Chambuso, contributed a lot to make everything go so smoothly. Always very available, attentive, fun and constantly looking for the best time to find another animal ☺️
We were able to see the 'Big 5' on safari, as we were hoping (along with SO many other animals). We loved having a private tour which meant that we could tailor each day to our needs and wants.
We would highly recommend Right Choice to fellow travelers, and hope to one day book another visit to Africa.

Professional, friendly, accommodating and easy delivery of a perfect bucket-list holiday
After a huge amount of planning and delayed arrangements, due to Covid-19, my girlfriend and I were FIANLLY able to depart on our holiday of a lifetime.
George had been exceptionally professional and diligent in his planning and communication throughout the process and this did not falter despite the global pandemic. Only a week prior to departing, my girlfriends' dream came true when we were contacted by Giraffe Manor, informing us that a room had become available. At the drop of a hat, George managed to rearrange the later parts of our trip to accommodate this very late change in plan. For this reason alone, I cannot thank, nor recommend, Right Choice in any higher way. For 4 years, we had a solid plan, booked into hotels and a clear schedule in place. Only a week before departure, George had rearranged our last 3 days. This is proof enough that he, and all the staff at Right Choice, go above and beyond in their customer service.
We arrived in Nairobi and we were taken, by taxi, to our hotel. The hotel was beautiful and every single member of staff went out of their way to ensure we had an amazing day, prior to departure on the safari.
The following day we met our guide for the safari, Sami. Without a doubt, a good guide will make or break your safari experience and Sami was incredible. We made our way to the Maasai Mara. We arrived at the first hotel (Keekorok Lodge) which, whilst stunning, was the most basic of the hotels we stayed in. All the staff here, again, were amazing. The rooms did need some TLC but it was plenty good enough. The next 3 days were a blur. Early starts, hot air balloon rides and such an amazing abundance of perfect, beautiful wildlife, we were in awe. Sami made sure that we were able to see everything and more and, unlike several other guides, he was wonderfully respectful of the wildlife. This is something which we would have wanted but it was clear that Sami loved and appreciated the wildlife as much as we did.
We left Keekorok Lodge and went to Lake Nukuru. The hotel was just breath-taking. Here we saw the missing piece of our Big 5, both the Black and White Rhino. The huge amount of different and amazing birds which were easily spotted could have upstaged the wildlife.
Amboselli? Yet again, the hotel and national park were just perfect. We had seen all the wildlife that we thought possible however this park kept on delivering the surprises.
The last stage of the safari presented the most perfect hotel on the safari; Kilaguni Safari Lodge. This hotel was beyond all comprehension and the watering hole, visited by all sorts of wildlife (elephant, giraffe, zebra etc) was just the most mind-blowing experience whilst we ate.
We departed and stayed for a night at Giraffe Manor which needs no review. Its just another moment in a bucket-list experience and was yet another unique experience.
Finally, we had an internal flight to Mombasa, for the Baobab Beach Resort. Again, another great hotel and a wonderful moment to relax before coming home.
Overall, the holiday was nothing but a bucket-list experience delivered with professionalism and ease. George could not have been any more caring, delivering an amazing level of customer service. Sami was the perfect guide for the trip. Whilst Keekorok Lodge needed some minor repairs, it did not disappoint. Every person we encountered were determined to deliver the most amazing holiday for us.
I would recommend that people understand how the hotels work as we didnt realise that we needed to pay for all our drinks and thought that they were included with our package. They werent. This had absolutely no impact on our holiday and is no problem whatsoever, its just something to be aware of.
We cant thank George or Sami enough for everything that they did. We have been recommending this exact holiday, Right Choice and Sami, to many people since we returned. Communication and service was excellent throughout. Yes, this is an expensive holiday but it really is a bucket-list experience.
