Great safari trip
My brother and I had a great safari trip. Right Choice were very communicative and helpful from the start. Although we did have a small issue with the hotel check in in Nairobi, this was the hotel's fault and was quickly resolved. During the safari itself, I got food poisoning at one of the lodge's and Right Choice were kind enough to move the itinerary around and let us stay a further night at a different lodge and didn't charge anything more for this. Much appreciated! Our guide Smart was super good at finding all of the animals we wanted and drove around like a champion.. seeing a leopard was the highlight and absolutely incredible! My only wish was that we could communicate a little better in English.

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.

Excellent experience.
I traveled with my mom for the third time with Right Choice Safari. We felt safe and taken care of throughout our private guided trip. The owner of the company, George, ensured that all of our needs were met and we felt happy and safe.
We stayed about 2 weeks in Masai Mara this time. Our tour guide was Lenana. He was professional and knowledgeable about wildlife and its locations. I am a photographer hobbyist and am always hoping to take creative photos. Lenana was very perceptive and knowledgeable about photography. He did his best to ensure that I took photos that I was looking for.
The lodges we stayed at were great: friendly staff, delicious food and comfortable accommodation.
I highly recommend Right Choice Safari. This company provides high-quality service for travelers.

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.

Very reliable and meticulous
I was traveling with my parents, in laws and kids. The trip required customization for this age span. George from Right choice was always quickly available to answer al my questions and provide helpful suggestions. The communication was prompt and meticulous. Ken, the driver and safari guide was very knowledgeable and always tried to keep the requests by going out of his way. We opted for the luxury option and we always stayed inside the parks and the food and lodging was great We never felt that the value for money was low, and at the end all members were extremely satisfied. I want to come back in so e years and if so will want to go through Rightchoice.

Very good option value for money
Service is very good and the owner George is always responding to your questions via chat. That service is invaluable. Their drivers are extremely knowledgeable and nice. Ezequiel and Joshua were amazing. Specially Ezequiel in Tanzania was friendly, nice to the kids, funny and accommodating with a great attitude. In Kenya they are great and have all under control. In Tanzania sometimes you have some issues because they have less control over who picks you at the airport and things like that but they are open to reimburse you for those issues.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure
Found Director George to be most prompt & helpful with all enquiries regarding our safari.
We visited Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with Michael who was very informative and obliging, showing us the best of both parks before handing us over to Raj at the Tanzanian border.
The border procedure was seamless thanks to Michael and Raj.
The Serengeti National Park was the highlight of our safari, thanks to Raj
We really enjoyed the Ngorongoro crater, it was an amazing sight, and our night at Rhino Lodge was full of old world charm and unforgettable.
We were handed to George at the Kenyan border for a tour of the Amboseli National Park.
All in all an amazing safari, that we will remember forever, thanks to some great organization and very comfortable accommodation.
Thank you Director George.

Great tour operator. Fantastic communication, planning and co-ordination. We loved it!
Brilliant value for money.
A first class tour which was well organised and carried out. We hit a couple of bumps along the road, but Right Choice answered the emails and calls and fixed things quickly. Fabulous team and well organised tour.
The guide was very knowledgable and was always checking we were happy and getting the experience we dreamed of.

Amazing bucket list safari experience!!
We absolutely loved our 15 day Kenya, Tanzania, & Zanzibar holiday booked through Right Choice! It was so hard to sift through all the tour companies and options out there, but not only did the itinerary work so well for us, but the value was awesome and it was actually how good the trip advisor reviews were that sold me! Our Kenya guide, Jacob, was so knowledgable and helpful! He honestly made our trip and safari!! The owner, George, was very quick to respond to our emails and requests.
At the Kenya/Tanzania border we were met by another company, Raven Safaris, who is partners with Right Choice to complete the Tanzania portion of the safari. Our guide, Rajabu, was fabulous as well!
A few things to note for to future travelers:
1. We didn't know we'd have the whole safari car to ourselves the entire time, we just thought the transfers between the spots were private but we would be in a group setting for the game drives -- this is not the case! You have a private vehicle for the duration of your trip! We only packed soft duffles and backpacks because that was what all the blog posts said, but since we had much more room we could have saved our backs a bit and done wheeled luggage. The flight from Arusha to Zanzibar also didn't care about wheeled luggage.
2. You have the same guide everyday you are in Kenya and different guide for your whole portion in Tanzania (not including Zanzibar). This was actually really nice to have the same person with us for multiple days, we weren't sure if we were going to have different people in each location when we booked!
3. A lot of blog posts warned us about tsetse flies and only wearing neutral earth colored clothing -- tsetse flies were only in Tanzania (not a thing around Kenya I guess) and we really didn't need to buy as much neutral safari clothing as we did.
Overall my husband and I highly recommend this trip - it was truly a once in a lifetime experience for us and we are so thankful to Right Choice & Raven Safaris for making it such a pleasurable experience!
