Amazing experience
We had an amazing trip to Kenya and Tanzania with Right Choice!
We wanted to tweak the original itinerary and George was very accommodating of this. Communication from George was excellent throughout the planning process, and once we arrived, everything ran seamlessly. All transport and accommodations were spot-on — we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Our guide in Kenya, Jacob, was truly outstanding. I hadn’t realised just how important it is to have an experienced and skilled guide, but after travelling with Jacob, it’s now the number one thing I’d ask about when booking a safari. His driving skills were exceptional — both on the roads and in the challenging off-road conditions of the Masai Mara. While we saw many other vehicles getting stuck, Jacob was often the one helping them out! He was also incredibly tuned in to wildlife sightings, always active on the radio and quick to respond when something was spotted nearby. Not only that, but he consistently found the perfect vantage points to park the jeep for the best possible views and photos. His expertise and calm confidence made our safari experience unforgettable.
The vehicles provided were excellent — sturdy, comfortable Land Cruisers in both Kenya and Tanzania. The transition across the border was smooth and well-handled, and our Tanzanian guide, Raja, was very friendly and professional. We enjoyed that portion of the safari just as much, and the wildlife and landscapes in both countries were absolutely breathtaking.
We ended our trip with a few days in Zanzibar, staying at Blue Bay Hotel, which was a fantastic way to relax and unwind after the safari. The hotel was beautiful and the beach setting was idyllic.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, made even more special by the people who made it happen. Highly recommended!

If we could, we would give Right Choice 10 Stars!
RightChoice - especially Josh, George and Millicent - made this a trip of a lifetime. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
From the moment we were picked up - right on time - we knew we were in good hands. Joshua, our guide, was always punctual before every daily safari departure, keeping everything running smoothly. He consistently kept us informed about what to expect and shared his vast knowledge and experience without us even needing to ask. He shared fascinating facts, tips, and hilarious animal stories like a walking wildlife encyclopedia with a personality. It’s obvious he loves what he does - and when someone loves their job this much, it shows!
Josh is also incredibly personable and fun to be around. He made us feel completely comfortable from day one, and we always felt confident and included throughout the entire safari. His ability to read the environment and anticipate animal behavior was impressive. Thanks to him, we were often in the best viewing spots and thanks to him we learned about Kenya express ;)! Nothing is impossible for Josh!
Behind the scenes - George and Millicent - were keyboard wizards. Every time we sent a question - a helpful reply would appear in our inbox quickly. Super responsive, kind, and always one email ahead of us. If there were an Olympic event for customer service, they’d win gold without even stretching.
In short: RightChoice nailed it!!!. Joshua, George, and Millicent turned what could have been a regular trip into an epic adventure we’ll be talking about until we’re old and wrinkly.

We had an amazing 6 days in Kenya!
George helped us with our travel plans and communication was quick and effective! Jacob was our guide and he was professional and on time which made us feel at ease. He drove smoothly and found the best angle for us to see the animals.His awesome eyesight helped us find the leopard.
Hope I can come back sometime

Excelent
Right Choice was truly the right choice for us as we had a wonderful safari in Kenya, getting to see all Big 5 and so much more! Our guide was Opany and he was simply amazing!!! With over 25 years of experience, he is very wise, professional, easy to get along and with a superb eyesight to catch every animal from a great distance. :-)

Delivered a well-planned itinerary and arranged an exceptional guide, Kasaine Senei.
We went on a 4-day, 3-night safari tour that included Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha.
Our guide for the tour, Kasaine Senei, was absolutely perfect. Throughout the trip, he was punctual, showed dedication, and adjusted the itinerary flexibly to ensure it wasn’t too tiring for us. His driving was both quick and reliable, making us feel safe the entire time. During the game drives, he got us as close as possible to the animals, allowing us to capture amazing photos. Our Land Cruiser was among the first to enter and last to leave Masai Mara National Reserve. Despite it not being peak season, he went above and beyond to help us see as many animals and plants as possible. Notably, our vehicle was the first to spot a leopard, one of the rarest of the Big 5. Kasaine also has a keen eye for photography. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your guide, you’re sure to get some incredible shots! Being a Maasai himself, he has extensive knowledge of the region and its wildlife. At each location, he seemed well-connected, and we even had the unique experience of being guided by the chief’s son in a Maasai village we visited—a testament to Kasaine’s pride in his heritage.
George, who coordinated our booking, was prompt and friendly, ensuring that everything we requested and he promised was delivered smoothly, from the initial arrangements through to the end of the tour.
I was initially nervous, especially since this trip was with my parents, but Kasaine and George made our time in Kenya truly unforgettable. My parents expressed their gratitude, saying they hadn’t expected such an incredible experience. If you’re looking for a quality safari at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Right Choice Tours & Safaris.

Amazing experience, amazing service, highly professional, highly recommend
From the very beginning George was highly professional and answered any queries we had very promptly. We were met at the airport and from the start to the end of our trip were looked after so well. The guides Jacob and Chumboso were amazing, ethical and very hard working guides with so much experience. The wildlife encounters we had were beyond fantastic. The accommodation options were brilliant, great variety, and food outstanding. I have been on safari many times before but this company is one of the best. Couldn’t recommend them more.

A perfect 10-day safari experience
We booked a 10 day safari including Amboseli, lake Naivasha, lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara.
The tour was organized by George, and the planning process went very smooth. George was incredibly helpful and quick to answer all of our questions (and we had many, as this was our first safari), providing useful information along the way.
Our driver, John, was the perfect guide. From the airport pickup to the game drives, where he showcased all his skills in finding and spotting all the animals we were hoping to see. Thanks to John, we were able to see all the big Five and all the big cats we were looking for.
The accommodations were excellent and conveniently located (either within the park or close to the gates). Food exceeded our expectations, including the lunch box provided during full-day game drives.
As our first safari experience, we came back home more than satisfied, with countless unforgettable memories.

All good except Zanzibar
We did the 14 day safari, 3 camps in Kenya and 3 in Tanzania, finishing with 3 nights in Zanzibar. The accommodations were superb as were the jeeps. The Kenyan guides were great and made sure that we had opportunities to see all of the animals. The Tanzanian guides were very kind and did their best for us but unfortunately their English wasn’t great. This meant that our opportunities to ask questions and learn were limited.
Unfortunately things fell apart in Zanzibar. When we arrived at the resort we found that Right Choice had not paid for the accommodations. The resort obviously wanted to be paid so was unwilling to provide rooms until payment was made. That meant that one of our party had to provide a guarantee for payment while “negotiations” ensued with George for payment. Many promises and excuses were provided until finally payment came through some days after we’d checked out. Ultimately no one in our group was out any money but this left a sour taste. I would suggest that there’s a good chance that Right Choice is suffering from financial difficulties. With all the safari choices out there, it might be wise to go with someone else.
Reply from Right Choice Tours & Safaris
Posted on Oct 26, 2024Dear Kris,
I’m so sorry. We’re normally known for our exceptional attention to detail, and we regret that we missed the mark. This was a seamless journey for nearly over 12 days, Kenya and Tanzania combined wildlife safari. The final segment of about 4 nights beach relaxation in Zanzibar is where things started going to the south.
Your booking at the resort in Zanzibar was done through our affiliate ground operator in Zanzibar and this is a standard practice. My agent in Zanzibar had only partially paid the resort and this lead to the stalemate during the check inn time. The matter was brought to my attention during the long weekend and the Nyerere holiday in Tanzania thereon.
I pursued this matter with my agent who settled the payment later and there’s no dispute about full payments coming later. This left a sour taste to everyone. We're so glad you enjoyed your time during the safari.
Please know that your situation was an exception. As you can see on other reviews, we are known for taking ownership and caring deeply about our customers. We can’t fix the past but you have my personal commitment to improve on who to work with in Zanzibar. Until then, please accept my sincerest apologies on behalf of everyone here as a team.

Missing safari in Kenya already. Our guide made the trip unforgettable!
Our entire trip to Kenya was amazing, far exceeding our expectations! Especially in comparison to Tanzania, having a good guide makes all the difference. The variety and excitement of the wildlife we saw in Kenya was ten times better than in Tanzania! This was all thanks to our guide Kasaine senei, who was professional, dedicated, and very attentive. He drove smoothly and had an incredible eye for spotting animals from afar, even being able to tell how many and which specific animals were in the distance. While driving and looking for wildlife, he also kept an ear on the radio to know where the action was happening, and he would take us there! From the beginning, communication with the owner George was simple, straightforward, and efficient. The entire experience was fantastic!
