Excellent safari!
We booked 6 days Safari to Kenya visiting Lake Nakuru, Lake Navaisha, Hells Gate and Masai Mara. I must say our experience with Right Choice was incredible. We had an excellent trip in Kenya. George (the owner) was very professional and he offered a very customized itinerary according to our specific needs. You can absolutely trust him and the company for your travel plans. They took care of eveything from the moment they picked us up from the airport up to when they dropped us back for departure.
Our trip wouldn´t have been the same without our driver Jacob, a very kind person and knowledgeable. We strongly suggest you request for him to George when making your trip. His driving and game-spotting skills were incredible, he showed us the best places and we felt very safe all throughout.

Great experience at Right Choice Tours & Safaris
I had my first trip with Right Choice Tours and Safaris in 2012 and promised to you use them again after an excellent tour guiding and drive across Nairobi National Park. This time I decided to go big with my July Holiday at Maasai Mara National Park, and again, I could not resist but score a 5 star service and excellent tour guiding. I can't wait to have my next safari with Right Choice

Warm responsive operator, great on ground experience
We decided to go with Right Choice and we were not disappointed. To start with, during our planning stage, George was most reponsive. He answered each and every query with patience, understanding and reassurance.
I'm glad to say that the trip exceeded our expectations. Jacob, our guide and driver was perfect. He seemed to know the Masai Mara like the palm of his hand. He was most cordial, got us to see all the big 5 and much more. He answered all our questions and quite endeared himself to the group with his sincerity and sense of calm.
George advised and guided us in choosing the right camp and that really helped too. The Camp was nice with clean beds, clean toilets and nice ambience overall.
Just one key area which we found wanting was food: We were accompanied by a cook whose food or services are not much to be talked about. Clearly hygiene was lacking. I came down with a dysentry and so did our guide, on the very 1st day of our trip. Thanks to a Doctor in the nearby village, I was back on track. Meals were rather dull and the cook clearly lacked imagination.
We did give our feedback to George after our trip was over and he was very positive in receiving the feedback. Full points to George and Jacob for a most memorable trip.
I wouldn't mind going again with Right Choice. As George says "you can book with confidence".

Memorable experience, highly recommended company
Communication prior to our arrival in Kenya was excellent. George was friendly and prompt with his replies. Once in Kenya, we were fetched on time from our hotel by the driver who was courteous and professional. The 7-day safari itself was well-organized from food, accommodation and game drives, and all the transportation in between. Minor Changes and delays were mostly caused by things beyond the driver's control. Overall, a most memorable experience with a highly-recommended company.

Excellent tour company at great value prices
We had a fantastic 10 day Kenya and Tanzania safari with Right Choice Tours in September 2015. George (the director of the company) was always prompt with his replies and fully answered all our questions throughout the booking processes. He was also able to customise the tour based on our requests and budget.
Tom, our driver/guide on the Kenyan part of the tour was punctual and professional throughout our trip. Right Choice used a partner company (Kili Slopes) for the Tanzanian leg of our tour and our guide, Fadhili, was particularly excellent. Fadhili was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we learnt a lot about the wildlife, people and culture of Tanzania from him. He worked very hard to ensure we had the best possible experience and game viewing on the trip.
Overall, I’d highly recommend Right Choice Tours and Kili Slopes for future bookings.

A dream holiday
After coming across Right Choice Tours & Safaris by accident, we can honestly say that it was one of the best trips that we have ever taken. They were prompt with messages and organised our trip at very short notice. Our guide Jacob Otieno was superb, helping us to both spot the animals and safely drive us from destination to destination. Our trip was made up of Nakuru NP, Lake Niavasha, Maasai Mara NP, Hell's Gate & Amboseli NP. I thouroughly recommend the company and in particular Jacob our guide.

Great Birding Tours
The 18 days tour was excellent and very pleasant. The guide, Tom was an expert for safari and a skillful driver. He did safari, safety first, and solved a couple of car troubles well. He was also flexible for modification of accommodations and our demands. He is not an expert for birding, but followed our stop-and-go instructions very well, and assigned proper local birding guides. The cook, Alan was a very good chef, his cuisine was much better than restaurants and lodges. As a result, we got many bird species, over 300, plus many animals.
Our accommodations were not high class and some of them were modified one day before, but very comfortable. I appreciate George, he arranged a total plan. I think the tour cost was proper. I did recommend this tour company to my friends.

Very flexible correspondence to our requirements and delicious meals provided by accompanied chef.
Our four members are keen birders. Two guides of a safari car driver and a chef have always accepted our frequent and spontaneous stop-and-go requests in response to sudden appearance of birds throughout 19-days birding tour. Also accommodations have been sometime changed on site to cope with rainy weathers. Furthermore, we always enjoyed meals provided by the chef. His cooking has always been better than those of ordinary restaurants. As the results, we have never met both mental and physical problems at all.

Nice Safari, bad Kenyan roads (be ready to stuck in dirty several times)
Safari was good, driver is exeperienced and did his best to show us as much different anymals as possible (actually I cannot say what we didn't see :) ).
The only issue you should consider is bad Kenyan roads. We stuck several times actually. It didn't took long to get out because drivers help each other, but consider this when you have tight airport or other connections. Also we were provided with RWD car, not AWD. On the other hand driver were experienced and handled it good, so we didn't stuck in places where AWD cars had issues.
Good operator, reasonably priced and very responsive
Right Choice was the most responsive operator I found and they followed up on all my questions and suggestions in a timely manner. The tour costs were extremely competitive for what you get and they were very flexible on customizing the tour. For instance, I asked that I did not want to go over Likoni ferry on the way from Tsavo to Diani and we worked out a back route bypassing Mombasa altogether. As an aside, if you are planning to go to Masai Mara, make sure you choose a 4wd.
