One amazing experience!
Due to a cancellation of our previously booked Safari one week before departure, we were scrambling to find a replacement tour. Right Choice was one of the companies we contacted. Of these companies, Right Choice seemed to be most accommodating to our requests. George was able to quickly put together a tour that had the itinerary we wanted. The accommodations he booked were a bit better than the previous tour, and thus the Safari was more, but not unreasonable. In the end, after a day on bumpy roads, it’s nice to come back to a place where you are comfortable and the food is very good. Most of the accommodations were right in the parks so you were able to see animals from the lodges.
Our drivers, Bonny in Kenya, and Ziggy in Tanzania were both excellent. They had keen eyes and great knowledge of the animals, birds and even some of the plants we inquired about. I’m not sure how many guests are as interested in the smaller birds, as I was, but we not only stopped for many, but they were also quickly identified.
Our Safari started in Lake Nakuru. On our first day we saw lions, giraffes, flamingos and many other birds, vervet monkeys, baboons, zebras (they are everywhere), impalas, gazelles, Cape buffalo, and most impressive, a mama and baby white rhino. We left for the Masai Mara on the second day. Here we completed the big 5 with a leopard and elephants. We also saw cheetah and wildebeest, a black rhino, hyena, hippos, crocs, ostriches and many other types of antelope. Leaving the Masai Mara on our way to the Serengeti, we passed thru what seemed to be the last of the Great Migration. Tens of thousands of wildebeest gathered together, plus a line of them marching as far as the eye could see in the direction of the Mara River. Didn’t get to witness them crossing the river though.
At the border, we changed drivers. We told our new driver that he had his work cut out for him as we had seen so many varieties of animals. We got to the Serengeti and it seemed to have way fewer numbers than Masai Mara...time of year maybe? But, here Ziggy worked his magic and we got to see the carnivores. Here we learned to sit and wait for things to happen.
From there it was in to Ngorongoro Crater, a very interesting self contained eco system. It’s small, but you still get a good variety of wildlife, and there are forests as well as open savannah, plus the water areas.
Next stop was Tarangire. A bit more water here, chance to see elephants bathing and more animals going for drinks....could there be a lion hiding? We had our first “luxury” tented camp here, and we were spoiled indeed!
Our last Safari stop was at Amboseli, back in Kenya, where we were reunited with Bonny. It was nice that we had him for our whole Kenya trip, even if the time was divided. Amboseli is home to the elephants, and one evening we saw more than 70 making their way to the water. There’s a good sized lake here. We got very close to flamingos. You are able to see Mt. Kilimanjaro, if the clouds part. They did one morning, and it was a beautiful sight. There is also a very good chance to see hyena groups...we had only seen singles up until this park.
We had also arranged a 3 day stay at Diani Beach, near Mombasa, to relax after the Safari. It’s a nice way to finish the trip.
All in all, we were very happy with our choice. Given the panic we were in to rearrange something, it was wonderful to be accommodated in our wishes instead of us having to just settle for a Safari because we needed to. George and company gave us a great experience. Every day brought something new, just when you thought you had seen it all. George even talked with us personally a couple of times during the Safari to insure all was going well. We are very happy we decided to go with their company. It was the Right Choice.

Helpfull, flexible and good value for the money.
Good continous communication from George.
Ken was an excellent driver and very knowledgable guide in the Masai Mara National park.
We stayed at the Explore Mara nature lodge which was a very nice experience. We wanted to have a more true Kenyan experience, less of the feeling of a "hotel chain " experience. Good kenyan food, Clean "tent", very local decoration. Much more interesting than other lodges I've been staying at.
Well Worth a Try!!

Amazing
Our experience started with very prompt and helpful emails from George whenever we contacted him. He made the booking as easy as possible. When we got to Nairobi we were greeted by Ken and spent our whole 5 days with him. He made his best to meet our expectations and try to spot all the animals we wanted. He was approachable, patient, respectful of our needs and wants and even friendlier as days went by.
Nairobi was an amazing destination but the whole experience wouldnt have been the same without such amazing tour operator. We highly recommend them and thank them for the best family vacay!!

Joe Mouti was amazing
Tour was awesome. Joe the tour guide did an outstanding job. He knows how to navigate the safari. His knowledge was instrumental in us seeing the BIG 5. We have some really nice view of the animals and he shed light on ones we did not know. The experience is one I will not forget.

Personal Service from a company that treats you like family. 5 STAR Treatment
When choosing a safari it can be a bit overwhelming. At least that is what I found. There are so many and they all sound good. However, this company Right Choice Tours and Safari is unique as they offer individual assistance in guiding you to choose the right tour and really match up guide and client based on individual needs. We were so pleased with the accommodations, the communication, the service, the quality and attention to detail. Additionally the cost was very competitive to other companies.
My travel blog really best outlines all this in great detail...
If you choose this company you will not regret it. Also, the owner George Oketch and his dedication to your ultimate experience is unmatched.
Thank you for an amazing once in a lifetime trip.

kilimanjaro, safari in tanzania and zanzibar island
Our trip was incredible and the whole team of Right Choice really made it happen. Communication before our arrival was efficient with George via emails. He always answered quickly to all our questions. From our airport arrival to our final departure, Right Choice was there to pick us up, to get us where we needed to go and then to make us live extraordinary experiences. Their kilimanjaro team was truly helpful, so nice and made us feel better in the most difficult moments of the trek. The safari team was also extremely pleasant,as well as being the best at finding hidden animals everywhere in the various parks. We loved every minute of our trip and felt safe with the team. We recommand this company for the service and the price. WOW.
