Amazing people that will take care of you in the best ways, and help make your trip unforgettable. They picked us up at the Air port and were our driver for the next days. The Driver, Najib was an amazing man that showed us around the capital. I would absolutly recommend these guys, and i would definnently hire them again!

Sandra was both prompt AND personal, creating a great celebration for us!
We communicated with 5 different operators and chose Traipsing because of Sandra’s quick responses and her interest in the purpose of our trip (celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary!). She helped us book a 5 day safari at Kusudalweni Lodge. There were many choices, but she helped us hone in on what we really wanted. The safaris we went on every day were phenomenal! There was a variety of activities to chose from including the Blyde River Canyon boat tour, Moholoholo Rehab Center and bush walks along with game drives in Kruger and in Manyaleti Private Reserve. Everything we did was awe-inspiring; we saw the Big 5 within the first 3 hours AND enjoyed the bush walk that ended up being a private birding adventure! Kudos to Sandra for arranging a great tour. We recommend Traipsing Africa’s Safaris and Tours!

Unforgettable life long experience with a great tour provider
We booked two days safari tour and half day tour to giraffes and elephants orphanage. The booking process was very prompt: I was getting the answer and detailed instructions the same day, immediately. This company is really customer orientated. Even when our 1st pick up point got changed, they arranged everything in one hour. The safari itself was amazing thanks to Mr Francis Kariuki. Good safe driver, giving necessary info on time, providing answers on our questions and even fullfilling our additional requests (we wanted to go to the supermarket). The good point your drop off area can be as per your request (hotel or airport). We were feeling very comfortable with Francis. The car was cleen every day ( safari is a dusty place), water was provided, monocles as well. Thank you very much for excellent service and lifelong experience!

Highly recommend Right Choice for a wide range of Kenyan adventures
Right Choice did a great job coordinating a complex itinerary for us in Kenya, and get my highest recommendation.
We booked three separate tours with Right Choice. All three of the guides were excellent and made our experience special:
– Moses took us on a 1-day tour of Nairobi, giving us an insider's look at the capital including Kibera.
– George took us on a 6-day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli – pointing out animals we wouldn't have seen on our own and making sure we got every last photo we wanted.
– Julius took us on a 3-day summit of Mt Kenya, making a challenging hike fun while explaining a unique ecosystem.
Pickups before and between tours were seamless. Communication was good throughout – they kept meticulous records of our itinerary and answered questions promptly (shoutout to Millicent in the front office).
There were little touches throughout that really made our lives easier, like letting us store bags in the front office in between our safari and mountain summit so we wouldn't have to carry luggage to the top of a 5000m mountain. George (the owner) even personally met us at our hotel at the end to return them.
A bit of advice: for whatever tour(s) you're considering make sure you're clear on each day's itinerary because distances between parks can be substantial. It was a worthwhile tradeoff for to me in order to see more parks and ultimately more of Kenya, but the days in the van can be long.
Overall, Right Choice delivered on the trip of a lifetime and I'd recommend them for anyone thinking of Kenya.

Excellent tour with fantastic guide
Well-organized itinerary timely response for all the information we needed. On our arrival in Dar es Salaam, Faraj came to our hotel to brief us on the next days. We had a fantastic time and our guide was very knowledgeable, understanding and so helpful. Keep it up Emperor Adventures & Safaris

Absolutely amazing from start to finish.
We could not have been happier with our trip, the guides, and the three Safaris we were on. Each reserve had its own unique style of
accommodating my daughter and I and two of our friends from Seattle joined us in Johannesburg to begin our journey. We were met the moment we arrived until we left on our plane after 17 of the most amazing days of our lives. The food, the people, the animals and a beautiful country. I would return tomorrow if given the chance.
our first stary for 3 nights was at Hlosi lodge below Port Elizabeth in the eastern cape. Two safaris a day, excellent food and a luxury tent with our tub facing a large window where wart hogs and others enjoyed a water break.
Second part was Elephant Plains in Sabi Sands, part of Krueger National Park. There are no fences and the animals come and go out of the reserve and into the park. Within 20 minutes Darren and Derrick, our guide and tracker found a leopard and her cub, it was my daughters birthday and her dream to see big cats. Ker & Downey delivered in every way with planning our trip.
Last stay was Simbavati River Lodge where large cats, lions walked through our compound and the elephants came within 10 feet of our porch to roll in the mud and teach their babies how to eat and drink.
We ended our trip in Victoria Falls, a must see if you are going to South Africa.
Thank you for reading, there really aren't enough words to describe this trip.

Two of the best guides in the business
Having travelled extensively in East and Southern Africa since 1990, I have experienced good and not so good guides. Without hesitation I can say Federica and Ruan are two of the best guides I have been lucky enough to travel with. Their passion for, and knowledge of, Africa and her wildlife is exceptional and infectious.
While on game drives, either Federica or Ruan gave us information on the animal we were watching. As keen photographers, they were able to spot animals quickly and know if something worth waiting around to photograph was going to happen – this was a huge benefit to clients.
In the evenings we were given a briefing of the following day’s itinerary, which usually included showing us on a map the route we would be taking. I have sometimes experienced guides who don’t mix with their clients at the end of the day, but Ruan and Federica were always sitting and chatting with us, were the last ones to bed and the first ones up each morning getting things ready for breakfast and the day ahead.
Both are great cooks. The meals on my trip were fresh, varied and delicious, including pastas, braais, stews, cooked brunches or lunches and some traditional South African dishes.
Any extra activities which clients wished to undertake were cheerfully booked by them.
As can happen while travelling in Africa we had a problem with our vehicle which required it to be off the road for a few days. Ruan and Federica showed outstanding leadership and organisational skills by helping to arrange for alternate transportation so our trip would not be disrupted, worked out what our food and equipment requirements for those days would be, as well as keeping us informed of progress on the vehicle’s repairs.
I had such a great time travelling with Federica and Ruan, I hope to travel with them again some day.
