Exceeded expectations
From the very first email communication to the end of our trip everything was perfect. Our driver was very knowledgable and during our 9 day tour of many of the Kenyan parks we managed to see the big 5 and so much more. All the accommodation we stayed in was superb. Fantastic memories and wonderful photos which will stay with us forever. Thank you Right Choice safaris .

Memorable and Hospitable!
We were on our honeymoon and booked Right Choice for a 3 day Safari at the Masai Mara. Everything was well planned and perfectly executed, and our guide, John, was a master at his trait. He made sure we were comfortable all along, and went out of his way to ensure we don't miss anything on the safari. Would recommend Right Choice to everyone.

Top Christmas Safari in Kenya with the whole family (10 pers).
If you consider to go for safari in Kenya, stop considering and just do it. Contact Right Choice and all your questions will be answered.
Our main contact was/is Mr. George Oketch who proposed our custom made trip from 21st Dec 2019 till 3rd Jan 2020. George was prompt and fast in replying.
He offered a total all in package (excl. flight from Amserdam to Nairobi) , at reasonable prices, covering both safari & beach holiday.
The holiday started on Saturday evening 21st Dec upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta Intl Airport and were transported by a 18 seater to the Safari Parc Hotel.
Here we stayed for 2 days (Sunday & Monday) to relax and enjoyed the beautiful hotel and the garden with swimming pools as well as their very professional dance show in the evening. On Monday we organized ourselves to go for a guided tour at the biggest slum of Nairobi called “Kibera”.
(see separate review under: “Kevin’s Slum Tours”. Really a must to do!
On Tuesday morning we were picked by the guides Ken & Patrick in their 4x4 land cruisers heading via the Great Rift valley to Lake Nakuru where
we stayed in small scaled tented lodge called Flamingo Hill luxury Camp. The rooms were very spacy, clean and well organized. That same day we started the game drive after lunch. The guides Ken & Patrick showed us all corners of the area and we able to find the right places to spot game. We were lucky seeing 4 out of the big five! The next day we left after a great breakfast towards Amboseli to stay for 2 nights in Kibu Luxury camp. This camp was much bigger but with excellent service and comfortable luxury tents. All staff were very friendly with a high grade of service. We had chosen for this parc to see the majestic Kilimanjaro which we clearly saw in the morning. Beautiful.
Again, both guides Ken & Ben did an excellent job by showing the area and to explain us all about the parc.
Our last stay was for one night in Tsavo West where we Right Choice booked for us the Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge. Ken & Patrick again showed us the full area which was totally different from previous parcs.
Our holiday ended in Baobab Beach resort south from Monbasa at Diani Beach.
Both guides, Ken & Patrick turned out to be very knowledgeable and were able to answer all the questions. All drives went smooth, very safe and comfortable. They really provided high quality service, were flexible and we can highly recommend them as a guide during your safari holiday.
All in all we can highly recommend to choose for RIGHT CHOICE TOURS & SAFARI to organize your safari experience in Kenya.
Asante sana.

A flawless Adventure booked with Right Choice, a great company to deal with.
Excellent communication between myself and Millicent to complete the booking and make changes once deposit paid. The level of service is absolutely excellent and makes the safari adventure perfect with the itenary. I would recommend Right Choice Tours to everyone due to the way everything is done for you and they go above expectations. As for the actual Safari, our driver Jacob was brilliant, great knowledge and history of the Masai Mara park and animals.
Would definitely book again and recommend.

Amazing 4 day Masai Mara Lake Nakuru Safari with Right Choice Tours and Safaris
The communication with George and Millicent, owners of Right Choice Tours and Safaris, was excellent with quick turn around right from the beginning. They were quick to give us suggestions but also allowed us to customize our trip to the Mara and Lake Nakuru. With fifteen people in our family, ages 11 to 73, we had the trip of a lifetime! Three fabulous guides, Tom, Moses, and SK, with smiling faces met us at NBO and became part of our family for 4 days. They showed us Kenya, the back roads in the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru with 6 intense game drives that allowed us to view most of the wild in theses reserves. We saw 4 of the Big Five. That Leopard was hiding from us, but he was there. The accommodations, food and service were excellent at Keekarok Lodge in the Mara and Sopa Lodge at Nakuru. At our request, we were taken to a Maasai Village near the Maasai Mara. This was a cultural and educational highlight for our family. A cake and song and dance to celebrate my husband and my 50th wedding anniversary was awaiting us at Sopa Lodge-a pleasant surprise. We could ask for nothing greater than what we experienced with Right Choice. Thanks George and Millicent.

The Best in the Business
I started with a quote request over the email, compared the alternative service providers and I found that between the 3 that I had shortlisted, Millicent Aluku of Right Choice was communicating everything with ease and a lot of patience.. and I had many small and minute queries... she prepare the itinerary in consultation with me and the number of days i wanted to do safari and she also had part solutions for a holiday leg for which I did not end up booking a hotel with them (which I should have done as they know best). 5 stars to Millicent for all her hard work, she is the best at her job!
I had specifically asked for an experienced and patient guide as I was touring with family, (3 generations - grandad,grandmom-son- grandson) and it was our good fortune that Ken was available to take us on our safari. Just like Millicent, I would give 5 stars for Ken as he fulfilled our sighting wishlist in toto and worked hard for all of the 4+ days that we were with him.. the vehicle was clean every morning, he was always ready on time, he made the effort to find out where the animals were on the day, placing his vehicle at the best picture taking spot and was driving his landcruiser smoothly on the highway.. Ken is reliable, friendly, helpful and knows his work and his vehicle very well. You can make no mistake with Ken by your side...
A couple of tips from my perspective: one should always opt for the landcruiser vehicle during safari and if given an option definitely stay for a minimum of 2 nights at Sopa Lodge, Lake Naivasha, its a beautiful property and 1 day is just too short as you merely touch and go onroute to Nairobi.. Hells Gate may be a small park but its a slice of paradise just like all the other natural abodes that Kenya has.
with Right Choice you cant go wrong,
Thank you Ken, Millicent and George

Everything well Organized and Executed
Booking a trip to Africa is a daunting task with 100's of tour providers offering all sorts of tours and expeditions. George and his team ensured that all the details of our trip were planned perfectly, from the time we landed, we had a smiling face to welcome us and bring us to the hotel.
The vehicle was an African Limousine (Land Cruiser Safari Stretch), brand new with all the right modifications to ensure our safaris were perfect.
Ken, was extremely nice, great personality, very knowledgeable and insightful. No animal or small gesture was missed on his part. Around the craziness of drivers in Africa, Bob drove very respectfully, and NEVER spoke/texted on his phone while driving. I would ask for Ken the next time I come to Kenya.
In Tanzania we had the best 4x4 driver, Salim, he also noticed every animal and sight to see. We crossed rivers, mud bogs, and unbelievable terrains with calm and ease. Very much appreciated as we saw several trucks on their side during river crossings.
We arrived very early for our flight to Zanzibar, flight was good. In Zanzibar, I recommend upgrading to the Ocean Front Villa (nothing wrong with the villa given) . but for very little $$ you get a great view with a great room. All meals were included, very nice spread with something for anyone. If you don't like buffets, you choose the a la carte restaurant which is very inexpensive. We extended our trip for two days and went to Stone Town. Very much worth the time and small upgrade. Stone Town is filled with history that is so very important to learn, and we were only 10 minutes to the airport the next day.
Great Experience! Thank you George, Ken and Salim.

High quality guides, knowledgeable, professional and friendly
Very thorough. George responded to every enquiries I had in a timely manner. Ismal (out guide for Kilimanjaro) is very well educated and professional. He organised the team well while ensured the service provided to us is thorough and professional. We also enjoyed out safari tour very much and really excited to see the animals in actions. If there is future opportunities, would definitely return to Tanzania again :-)

Knowledgable, thoughtful, excellent safari operator!
My son and I were in Nairobi on business and decided at the last moment to book a safari. After some research on the topic, I chose Safari Bookings as the quickest and most reliable way to ascertain what I wanted. I took their recommendation and put in my dates and requirements on three possible guide outfits, and received three really good options to choose from. For what I wanted, I chose Good Choice Tours and Safaris, and they turned out to be that... a really good choice.
With literally only ten days advance notice, Millicent at Good Choice set us up for a customized 5-day version of their 3-day luxury safari option. The results were excellent: amazing accommodations; accurate pick up and return times; beautifully prepared/ presented dining at all meals; excellent tour guide/ driver (John); lots and lots of diverse animals and birds to see; friendly people; and amazingly, after all that... a really good value!
I can say that both Safari Bookings and Good Choice Safaris come highly recommended.

Surpassed all of our expectations and more
Communications were clear, timely and courteous at all times.
Service was impeccable, and surpassed all of our expectations
The Tour was incredible, with adequate breaks. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five with the help of our eagle eyed driver.
Arrangements for our stays in the three parks were seamless, had amazing food, loved the staff and stays.
Plan to revisit in Kenya/Tanzania, and will be seeking out George and Right Choice Tours & Safaris for sure.
