Amazing Trip
We booked the Kenya to Tanzania tour and added the Zanzibar Beach experience. Overall the trip was amazing and we saw many, many animals. The weather was great and all the hotels were excellent (especially Ashnil in Mara). Both drivers, Jacob in Kenya and Simone in Tanzania were also so experienced and personable. It felt like the other safari drivers in both countries looked to them on the radio for info and animal sightings.
I communicated with George in the office over a year before our trip and he was always very responsive to my questions and thorough. With the COVID-19 pandemic happening during our booking we were never quite sure if we were going to be able to go. However it worked out that my husband and I were fully vaccinated before we left and our driver in Kenya had his first shot as well. We had to get several COVID tests, one before we left the US to enter Kenya, one in Kenya to enter Tanzania, another rapid-test at the border in Tanzania, and then one in Zanzibar to return to the US. Our drivers helped make the arrangements for these.
So I would highly recommend this trip with Right Choice. We had our own Land Cruiser in both Kenya and in Tanzania that were both new vehicles. Jacob and Simone both made sure we saw all the big 5 animals and even the hard to spot Rinos! They both taught us much about the animals as well. All in all we saw some 50 lions! Some of the prides were quite large, one even had 2 males and many cubs! It satisfied our need for lions after at first only seeing on in the distance in Amboseli! We were a little early for the great migration, but the wildebeest were getting ready for it. There were thousands of them at time as far as you can see, along with the zebras! The positive is that since we were a bit early, there weren't many other tourists.
The only problem we had was at the Tanzania border which we had not purchased a Tanzania Visa a head of time. We were under the impression the Kenyan Visa would be good for all of East Africa. So we had to purchase that there and it took a bit more time and made the day to Serengeti very long! Just make sure you purchase both online before you go.
The last few days at Blue Bay Beach resort were a nice way to relax and unwind after going everyday, so I'm glad we did that. The resort grounds were beautiful, so was the beach, and the staff were great. The food was fine, always plenty. I added a day to our trip to visit Stonetown to get a little of the local culture which was nice. We stayed at the Hilton Doubleday where was very nice. Unfortunately since there haven't been many tourists, the locals all try to sell you something. So we did our part for the local economy as best we could.
The local people are all so friendly and seemed to really appreciate us being there after a year of not having many tourists. "Asante-sana", Thank your VERY much! Thanks again Right Choice for all your help and in making this an unforgettable experience. Perhaps we'll do a South Africa trip in the future.

Resourceful, helpful and very pleasant.
The tour guide was Jacob. He was very helpful and seemed to be very familiar with the locations to sight the games. He is very warm and very knowledgeable about the games reserve. The planning was on point and we were very comfortable. We did not worry about anything. The communications were very clear, we knew what we need to do, where to meet and how to enjoy ourselves. The cost was well worth it and I will certainly like to do this again in the near future.

Amazing highly recommend
I’m so glad we chose this company for the safari in Kenya. Masai Mara was beautiful and our driver Ken made us feel so welcomed. Our experience would not have been the same if it wasn’t for Ken’s kindness. He picked us up from Nairobi and stayed with us for 4 days of game driving adventures. With him we were able to see the big 5 and he was super knowledgeable about all of the animals. If you see this Ken, thank you very much for your hospitality. We will definitely be returning!

Jacob was a great tour guide he made sure we spotted as much of the big five as possible.
The safari was a once and a lifetime experience , it was nice to have the owner George come and meet us personally at the start of trip. Our guide Jacob was very knowledgeable about the animals and their habitat and made sure we got to see as much possible.

Amazing trip!
Right choice and right decision i would say. Because it was really right decision to choose this agency. Tour manager George was answering all questions 24/7. He did his best to give us the best value for money. Our guide John tried his best to show us big five and we saw it

Excellent Experiene
The 5 days tour was very nicely organized, but the highlight was the Guide/Driver- Ken. Ken took us to all the places which were beautiful and had all the animals which we wanted to see. Ken made extra effort to give us safe tours and made it memorable. I will recommend it to others.

Outstanding Experience
We have really enjoyed our experience with Right Choice!
Booking the safari was very straightforward - George has organised the whole itinerary for us and readjusted it several times as our travel plans kept changing due to COVID. All of the hotels we had were amazing, but the highlight was the Tawi Lodge near Amboseli!
We initially heard about Right Choice from our friends and they recommended to pick Jacob Otieno as the driver. We are very happy that we got Jacob! He is a great person - very polite, speaks great English and just easy to talk to in general. But most importantly, he is a very knowledgeable safari driver - we saw absolutely everything we could see on the trip, from the whole of the Big 5 to the wildebeest crossing the Mara river.
