Tour of Kenya, August 2018.
We traveled through the parks of Kenya by a small group of 4 people. The company was chosen thanks to Elena, the Russian-speaking manager. After much discussion, the route was approved: Samburu-Solio-Bogoria-Naivasha-Masai Mara. The trip was organized at a good level, but there are a few comments. In Masai Mara we were replaced with a samp and settled in the ENCHOROW WILDLIFE samp Masai Mara. They greeted us cordially, but this was all wrong. We had 2 houses, in one the toilet was in disassembled condition and the water was flowing with a river, and all three days we were trying to fix it, but it was not possible. There were also problems with light. Burning wood and firewood burned next to the other house, it was impossible to breathe. But we made an advance payment, so that we booked everything in advance. The firm promised that we will have a cook, but right on the day of departure, they said that he was sick and only appeared in Masai Mar, but we do not think that it was our cook, since we ate our own table. We travel a lot and we know what our chef is, by the way there were groups with his cook.
I would like to say a big thank you to Elena for the prompt resolution of all the questions that arose, if her trip had not been spoiled for her help.
Thank you to the wonderful guide of the driver of Kagum, his skill and knowledge allowed us to see everything that we wanted.
And the company wants to wish that it clearly fulfilled its promises and carefully chose partners.

Kenya / Tanzania Tour April 2018
We started off from Tsavo East and West National Parks in Kenya and later on boarder crossed to Tanzania to visit the following parks: Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Thanks a lot to George and his team for the service and a well organised tour.It was great to see getting quick responses for our e-mails. Also thanks to our tour guides Jackson and Yazid :) They were very helpful to us and showed all the animals (THE BIG FIVE) we wanted to see. We were very satisfied with the tour arrangements, prices and lodges. George organised a farewell dinner for us at Carnivore Restaurant and it was really amazing. The kids loved this tour so much. We will come again in 2020. Once again thank you very much ''Right Choice''.

Wonderful experience!
The itinerary was great because we got to experience different national parks, each unique on its own. Distances are long and roads can be slow to travel, but at the end it was worth it. Accommodations are ok for the budget you're paying. There were some details at our last lodging with our shower but nothing to be very concerned of. The guide was very good, he knew everything about the places we were visiting, we just didn't like when we would make unannounced stops where we weren't told what was going on as everyone is speaking Swahili and we're stuck in the van.

Paid for the budget safari and I got it
THe difference between a budget safari and a costlier one is in the accommodations, food offered. and transportation method. Low budget offers tents, same meals every day, and hard road time. On the highest end, you fly into the parks and avoid the "african massage" from the potholes in the road. HOwever where you end up going, is exactly the same spot.
I too my 73 year old mother on the budget safari. Joe was our driver and guide. He found all the beautiful creatures that made our safari amazing. My mom took to the African massage allot like everyone else in the tour van, what choice do you have? Our Route to masai mara was okay, not too long, but the second leg to Lake Nakuru was a long drive day. Flamingoes are no longer at Nakuru and migrate someplace else now. Lake Nakuru to Amboseli was a very long day. In retrospect I'd add an extrs day and spend it near Nairobi, then finish the drive to amboseli the next day.
I'm vegan and found enough to be filled. The point of a budget safari is to see the animals, we achieved that, the simple food, tents, colder showers, and bumpy roads are all part of the low cost. I can endure all that, but make sure the drive time each day is acceptable when planning. I blew it in that department.
BTW: everyone says I brought back the most amazing pictures. Over time , you forget the bumpy road time and remember the highlights.

Great management & customer service, finished with a top safari experience
The initial corresponding speed & efficiency with George was just excellent. For exactly the same looking specs & itinerary when compared with other tours the price Right Choice Tours & Safaris quoted was also the cheapest I could find. The overall experience of the safari itself was priceless. A tip for everyone, going to the Serengeti/ngorongoro region in May is a great time of the year as it being the end of the off peak season meant that the weather was ok, not many people & the recent days of rain has made ngorongoro grass & flowers just lush in beauty.
The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is just for a few things:
-Part of the itinerary was changed last minute (although when I challenged this with George it was dealt with quickly)
-As there were only 2 of us we were joined with other tour groups, & a lot of hours were spent waiting for them to arrive to join us (although we all got on really well & had a great time)
-We were greeted by other members of the company we've not dealt with so far at our hotel who requested us to give the full payment in cash the day before the trip and when asked for a receipt we were not given one (I then challenged this with George who again quickly rectified this, but it's just good to note that the least customers would like is to receive a receipt as proof of payment when they have to give lots of money to people they've not met coming to their hotel).
-it would be great to give us a warning/information on the fact that we have to tip the safari drivers & how much is appropriate; we felt bad in hindsight as we wished we gave more to our first driver Lazarus who was so knowledgable & passionate, but we didn't know how much was appropriate until we spoke to other customers on the rest of our tour.
A special thank you to Lazarus our driver & Juma our cook who made our honeymoon wonderful.
Good value for money choice
Yes safari tour helped us to get this economic and good tour
6 Days Masai Mara/L.Nakuru/Amboseli
Right Choice was the best travel agent have ever travelled with. We conducted our itinerary by email and all arrangement were flawless since Mr. George was there for us any time and he made sure that were were satisfied and confortable with the itinerary. The arrangement were excellent accommodations,food and provided a professional and dependable drive who was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable about the park, flora and fauna.
The level of service was really phenomenal and their follow up at the end of the safari to verify that the services we received was excellent. I highly recommend Right Choice as the name suggests its the best choice I made.

Great experience with a good price.
Every information I received from Right Choice Tours & Safaris was correct.
George (the boss) is very professional and reliable. Tour guides were good. Accomodation was OK, just a little bit "basic", but good relationship between price and quality (Right Choice Tours & Safaris' offer was the cheapest I found in high season).
The only remark I can make is that the last day we leaved from Savana just a little bit earlier that what we agreed.
We suggest this operator.

seen a lot of animals
It was a great experience. Communication was easy and organisation very comfortable. Jakob the guide did his best to find a lot of animals. Though the bus was a bit old, and the road to Masai Mara is long and difficult.
