Wonderful Kenya/Tanzania Safari
We were very happy with our safari experience with Right Choice Tours & Safaris. When making arrangements, George provided detailed responses to my questions and tailored our arrangements to what we wanted. Ken, our safari guide/driver in Kenya, did a great job in getting us close to the wildlife which facilitated us getting wonderful photos. Right Choice used Raven Safaris in Tanzania and Rajabu, our Tanzanian guide/driver was excellent; not only was he a very competent driver, he was extremely knowledgeable and readily shared his vast knowledge which enhanced our wildlife viewing experience. Rajabu even made sure we each had a new water bottle each morning. The safari jeeps had pop-up roofs and my husband and I had a private tour which allowed us to see the wildlife well. In addition to the game drives, we visited a Masai village in Kenya, did a cultural tour in Tanzania and ended our holiday in Zanzibar where we did a tour of Stone Town, a spice farm tour and went to a beach resort. Right Choice helped to make our Kenya/Tanzanian holiday a fabulous experience.

Amazing safari trip !!
We took the help of Right choice safari's to help plan as well as execute our family trip. Right from the onset they were very proactive over email in the planning phase and provided multiple options (both from location as well as hotel perspective) to help customize our itinerary exactly how we wanted it. Once we landed in Nairobi, we were met at the arrivals by our guide Opany who accompanied us throughout and helped us navigate through the itinerary with patience, knowledge and humour. We spotted the Big 5 multiple times across Masai Maara, Amboseli as well as a sea of Flamingos in Nakuru. Cherry on top was to witness sunrise on the Hot-air balloon ride which while being slightly pricey was worth every penny. The Camps/Lodges recommended for stay by Right Choice were very luxurious and well equipped to handle any request. From a food perspective there were multiple vegetarian options to choose from so Vegan/Vegetarian travellers need not worry at all. Overall a very satisfying vacation trip.

Dedicated, committed and a true professionals
It took many weeks trying to find a reputable tour company for our next visit to Africa, we had already visited in 2014 and were keen to get the same experience if not better than our first trip. The companies were shortlisted to 2, one of which was Right Choice Safaris managed by George. In the end Right Choice were chosen because of the variety of reserves and camps we would visit and the cost. The safari went to plan, we had a fantastic experience and I took over 4000 photo's. We saw all the animals that we planned including the Big 5.

Another brilliant safari with Right Choice.
Our second booking with Right Choice was as wonderful as the first. We are going on our third in April! Joshua, our brilliant guide, is kind, knowledgeable and efficient and he has become a real friend! Well done, George Oketch, for your professionalism and always going the extra mile. You and your company has helped us make amazing memories.

Fantastic and unforgettable safari
11 Days Classic Kenya Safari and Beach Experience - We have just returned from an absolutely fantastic trip.
A family trip – 6 adults and 2 children (2 and 5 years old).
First a 5-day safari ending with a 5-day beach holiday.
All overnight stays were very delicious and were located with a view over the savannah.
George was fantastic in preparing, arranging and running the wonderful trip. All my questions and concerns were promptly answered and resolved.
Our 2 wonderful rangers Joshua and Ken made the trip an unforgettable experience. They showed us all the animals and birds of the savannah. Their knowledge where exceptional - great to have 2 such lovely people at our disposal. Always in a good mood, funny comments and great drivers. Thanks !!
I cannot recommend Right Choise Safaris enough.
You can safely book your upcoming safari with them.

excellent, safe and knowledgeable
me and my partner was skeptical about booking a safari via a non uk tour operator but we glad we did. everything was great.
Before the trip we went back and forward with them to make sure we selected the best camp for our needs.
We ran in to complications with our flight and needed to change our collection time.
No issues. they were super flexible and collected us from the airport at 5am!
The car was clean and perfect for off-roading
Are driver Joshua made us feel comfortable enough with his steady driving to fall asleep on the way to the reserve.
We also had no issues if the weather/terrain for driving was compromised (compared with some others in older cars!)
Mara bush camp was great and he standards beyond expectation.
game drivers were enjoyable and Joshua's knowledge of the animals and the reserve was fantastic.
we asked so many questions and he responded well. you could tell it wasn't just a job for Joshua but something he loved
Have told my friends about the service and if ever in Kenya again will definitely rebook with Right choice safaris

Great to work with, really cared about our trip being absolutely perfect!
Our trip to Kenya and Tanzania were absolutely perfect. Our guide in Kenya was Opany, request him! Loved his knowledge and expertise. He really tried to make our trip the best experience as possible. Tanzania, our guide was Mr. C, and he too was so very helpful, kind and very knowledgeable. Because you spend most of your time with your private guides, you want the best. Right Choice Tours & Safaris picked great places to stay. Each hotel or luxury tent was different, and fabulous. Cannot wait to rebook with them. George is your contact person at Right Choice, and he wants the best vacation possible for you! Do not hesitate to book with them.

Professional
We had a private 2 days & 1-night safari trip to Masai Mara.
Millicent and Mr George were very helpful with the enquiry and trip customization to suit my group's needs. They answered all our questions prior to the booking and also agreed to our payment option.
Mr Ken, our guide and driver is experienced and knowledgeable. He made sure we saw as many animals as possible. We ended up seeing 4 of the Big 5 (the Rhinos refused to come out of their hiding) and some other animals like the Cheetah despite our short time on the trip.
Our accommodation was clean and the service including the food was good.
The only thing I will change is the meals at the stops. The restaurants didn't have much to offer especially for foreigners.
Overall, it was a nice experience and good value for money.

Amazing Trip
We booked the Kenya to Tanzania tour and added the Zanzibar Beach experience. Overall the trip was amazing and we saw many, many animals. The weather was great and all the hotels were excellent (especially Ashnil in Mara). Both drivers, Jacob in Kenya and Simone in Tanzania were also so experienced and personable. It felt like the other safari drivers in both countries looked to them on the radio for info and animal sightings.
I communicated with George in the office over a year before our trip and he was always very responsive to my questions and thorough. With the COVID-19 pandemic happening during our booking we were never quite sure if we were going to be able to go. However it worked out that my husband and I were fully vaccinated before we left and our driver in Kenya had his first shot as well. We had to get several COVID tests, one before we left the US to enter Kenya, one in Kenya to enter Tanzania, another rapid-test at the border in Tanzania, and then one in Zanzibar to return to the US. Our drivers helped make the arrangements for these.
So I would highly recommend this trip with Right Choice. We had our own Land Cruiser in both Kenya and in Tanzania that were both new vehicles. Jacob and Simone both made sure we saw all the big 5 animals and even the hard to spot Rinos! They both taught us much about the animals as well. All in all we saw some 50 lions! Some of the prides were quite large, one even had 2 males and many cubs! It satisfied our need for lions after at first only seeing on in the distance in Amboseli! We were a little early for the great migration, but the wildebeest were getting ready for it. There were thousands of them at time as far as you can see, along with the zebras! The positive is that since we were a bit early, there weren't many other tourists.
The only problem we had was at the Tanzania border which we had not purchased a Tanzania Visa a head of time. We were under the impression the Kenyan Visa would be good for all of East Africa. So we had to purchase that there and it took a bit more time and made the day to Serengeti very long! Just make sure you purchase both online before you go.
The last few days at Blue Bay Beach resort were a nice way to relax and unwind after going everyday, so I'm glad we did that. The resort grounds were beautiful, so was the beach, and the staff were great. The food was fine, always plenty. I added a day to our trip to visit Stonetown to get a little of the local culture which was nice. We stayed at the Hilton Doubleday where was very nice. Unfortunately since there haven't been many tourists, the locals all try to sell you something. So we did our part for the local economy as best we could.
The local people are all so friendly and seemed to really appreciate us being there after a year of not having many tourists. "Asante-sana", Thank your VERY much! Thanks again Right Choice for all your help and in making this an unforgettable experience. Perhaps we'll do a South Africa trip in the future.

Resourceful, helpful and very pleasant.
The tour guide was Jacob. He was very helpful and seemed to be very familiar with the locations to sight the games. He is very warm and very knowledgeable about the games reserve. The planning was on point and we were very comfortable. We did not worry about anything. The communications were very clear, we knew what we need to do, where to meet and how to enjoy ourselves. The cost was well worth it and I will certainly like to do this again in the near future.
