Good organisation, nice people, an overall great experience
5/5

We booked our 7-day Safari from Nairobi to Mombassa (Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo West) with Right Choice quite last minute. This wasn't a problem for George who provided us fast with all the information needed and answered all our questions. He booked us a hotel and airport transfer the night we arrived and organized train tickets for our further journey from Tsavo West to Mombasa. John Kilonzo, our tour guide, did a great job and surpassed our expectations. The booked Lodges were amazing, and we got to see all the big 5 and a lot more. We can only further recommend Right Choice Tours & Safari and thank the organization team and especially John for this amazing trip!

Reliable and very comitted touroperator, who help you everywhere they can to book your dream safari
5/5

We are a couple from the Netherlands that booked our 16 Day private lodge safari with Right Choice in the periode end of May/begin of June 2022. This period is the end of the rain season and not yet the high season, advantages are: better prices, never crowdy in the parcs/lodges and nice green landscapes. Disadvantages: sometimes there can be some rain in the afternoon and when you want to see the big migration to the Masai Mara, it's not the right time.

Our trip was a combined Kenya/Tanzania/Zanzibar trip. We started our trip in Nairobi and ended our trip on Zanzibar Island (the safaris ended in Arusha, where we took a domestic flight). During our trip we visited different parcs like Nairobi NP, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate NP, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire.

From the moment we made contact with Right Choice, we constantly got very quick responses from George. All the questions we've had (as well as questions about composing and finetuning the trip as general questions about visas, best places to stay and other ideas) were answered quick and complete. George is always reachable by mail and (we found out later) by Whatsapp to help.

So we started at Nairobi (we arrived late in the evening). As soon as we left the doors of the airport we were picked up by out Kenyan driver/guide Jacob (excellent driver and guide, when you book your safari at Right Choice, ask for him!)

In consultation with George, we added an extra day in Nairobi, to explore the Giraffe Park and Nairobi National Park. We can recommend this to everybody. First of all, you have an extra day before the actual trip, so you can aclimatize a little bit and second you can visit Nairobi NP. You can spend a half Day in the park and have good opportunities to see rhinos (we did not see them anywhere else in Kenya).

After Nairobi we went to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate and Masai Mara in Kenya. All the (tented) lodges were of good quality and most important, they have good locations in relation to the gates of the parks. If you want tot change a lodge for an other specific lodge you can arrange this also with George, he is ready to help you!

When it was time to leave Kenya and enter Tanzania, it was also time to change the driver/guide and the car (in both countrys we drove a Toyota Landcruiser 4x4). During the immigration proces, as well as Jacob as our new driver/guide Steven (who was already waiting for us at the border) helps us step by step till everything was arranged and made sure we felt save and relax during the transfer. Even George called us at that moment to ask is if everything was as we expected so far.

In Tanzania, our driver/guide Steven showed us he also have great driving skills and knowledge of all the flora and fauna in every park! We can also perfectly recommend Steven when traveling in Tanzania. After visiting the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire where we switched lodge (tip: Tarangire Safari Lodge inside Tarangire park), we were dropped of at Arusha airport and got the information of the flight times to Zanzibar and who was going to pick us up. Also this part of communication was great and we felt like everything was arranged very well for us. We spend the last 3 nights at a beach hotel at Zanzibar. Our suggestion is to discuss with George what kind of hotel you want and the choose the one you like.

Conclusion, if you looking for a real reliable and trustable touroperator with excellent drivers/guides who literally know everything about their countys, National Parks and also love to share this with you, you can book with confidence at Right Choice. Special thanks to George, Jacob and Steven!

Incredible first trip to Africa
5/5

We stayed in Kenya 6 days in April 2022 and visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. RightChoice helped us with travel arrangements, resort bookings and provided us with a fantastic guide, Tom, who took us around the entire trip.
This was our first time on Safari and it was incredibly exciting. All three destinations were different and unique. We saw all the animals we wanted to see and more! Our safari was private and Tom was very willing to listen to our requests as well. Millicent, the girl I had always emailed with who handles the administration was always super quick and responsive and very sweet when we saw each other in person.

It was a truly unforgettable trip. Thank you to all the staff at RightChoice!

Ken was incredible, funny, and went above and beyond to give us the best trip possible
5/5

Overall experience with right choice safaris was amazing. We had to postpone our trip due to COVID 19 and this was not an issue for George he was super helpful in rescheduling.
From the transport to the accommodation to the food to the tour itself everything was great. Our tour guide was Ken and he made the trip the best for us. We got to see more than we expected and this was down to Ken constantly looking to find us what we wanted to see. He was very informative about the animals and the land as well as being really friendly and easy to get on with. We laughed from start to finish.

A very professional agency, safe, good safaris and hotels
5/5

It has been an incredible tour, seeing the animals on safari was something that we will never forget, the closeness with them and nature is something impressive. The hotels (camps) they managed were from another world, they were very nice, comfortable and safe, as was the food.

The contact with George from day 1 was excellent, he always answered me very quickly and very clearly on what they offered, the price is excellent compared to other options, the only thing I would do as a recommendation is that on the tour they offered me 1 day in Nairobi they had put me in my itinerary that we would visit the elephant orphanage and when we were there they told me that there was no place but it was because they did not reserve on time, but well it was not something serious but they should be careful with that.

Overall everything was excellent and I highly recommend it.

Another important thing was our guide Lawi, he was always looking out for us, he fulfilled all the requests we asked him for photos and he made a great effort to find all the animals, thank you very much Lawi greetings from Mexico.

thank you

Professional Service which lead to a memorable 6 day trip in Kenya!!!
5/5

Right Choice made our trip very easy to plan and customize it as per our requirement. It was a short trip and we wanted to cover Lake Naivasha & Nakuru along with Masaai Maara. The travel and stay arrangements were planned accordingly. The Hotels recommended and booked were the best and provided the right experience, including upgrading our stay to Mara Serena, providing best view of the Maara. The entire credit goes to George, who was exceptional in his communication (emails & Whatsapp) and provided us with all the required information. Our guide, Lawrence was very knowledgeable and made sure that we saw the Big 5 (17 lions & 3 leopards!!!) and most of all 3- Cheetahs (of the famous Tano Bora). He was available with us from picking us up from the airport to dropping us back. He also made sure we got some great photos and also time to observe these animals.

Would easily recommend Right Choice for a hassle free & well organized trip to Kenya.
Thank You! Right Choice for the memorable experience.

PS: Me and my wife are vegetarians and had no issues during our entire stay. Indian Vegetarian food was also available in the buffet. Just inform earlier while planning your trip.

Magical Experience
5/5

We spent 7 days on a safari with John. He and the experience were amazing I would absolutely recommend and love to go again. The van is better than the jeep as you generally don’t travel off-road, or anywhere the van can’t go. Be prepared for extreme tourist prices from the locals (e.g. $50 USD to take 2 people on a small walk, $70 USD for 2 people to attend a village for 45 mins) this is outside of the tour companies control, however something to be mindful of.

31st Anniversary
5/5

Mr. George O planned our 31st anniversary trip from day 1 till the end of our trip. This review is a continuation from a previous review titled "Hakuna Matata Made True" Our accommodations were excellent..Zebra Plains Mara Camp, Serena Hotels at Serengeti, Kibo Safari Camp in Amboseli and Ngorongoro Serena Lodge where we spent our anniversary night (3/9/22). Unbelievable and unforgettable views. And then, we thought that was it...but no. Our gorilla trekking lodge was Bakiga Lodge...an eco lodge ....a beautiful lodge with magnificent views of Bwindi Impenetrable NP.
Thank you Mr. George and to all our guides...Jacob, Chambusa, Patrick and Belinda

Hakuna Matata made true
5/5

From the time we asked for a price quote on the safari tour up to our final airport drop off to come home, Right Choice was by our side. It included assistance with visa and covid requirements to and from Tanzania, back to Kenya and to Uganda, and of course, Jacob our guide and driver through Masai Mara, Amboseli Park and airport arrivals and departures. Jacob kept us safe, on time, constantly informed and entertained and delivered the “big five” and more like he promised us on our first game drive. We enjoyed Zebra Plains Mara camp for an unforgettable glamping experience in the middle of game and the staff was super nice. Our stay at Kibo safari camp was also wonderful, having a view of Kilimanjaro.
Big thanks to George and his Nairobi staff also for successfully partnering with Raven Safari for our Tanzania tour of Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and Wild Rwanda Safari for our gorilla trekking at Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
Jacob always said Hakuna Matata and it was true for our entire trip. We recommend Right Choice to our family and friends, and to all you out there!
