Experience of a lifetime - anxious to come again!
My husband and I booked a safari and beach vacation with Kenya Walking Survivors Safari for two weeks in February, 2015. We honestly could not have dreamed for a better vacation! Everything from accommodations to food to the actual locations for the safari game drives was phenomenal. It far exceeded both me and my husbands expectations. Mr. Otieno was very quick to respond to all of our inquiries in a very timely manner, and this made planning out our trip a lot easier.
We also were able to organize a four day beach vacation at the end of our safari trip. Kenya Walking was able to organize for us a beautiful beach resort that was within our budget.
Thank you Mr. Otieno for organizing our dream safari and beach vacation. We could not have picked a better tour operator to trust this vacation with. We anxiously wait for our next visit to Kenya (and perhaps Gorilla trekking in Uganda?!) :)

Outstanding communication with Tailor safaris they were quick to respond to any of my enquires and went out of their way to tailor my safari to what I wanted to experience and be part of whilst there and even gave me excellent ideas which made my safari complete and have amazing memories to treasure of the beautiful country.

Wonderful safari, Best driver
Right from the first contact I had by email enquiring and booking our safari, the service was very friendly, prompt and professional, I was made to feel as if I was part of the family.Our tour guide Titus arrived at our Resort with a large smile and from then on we felt as if we had known each other for ages.
We took the 5 days Safari to Maasai mara and Lake Nakuru and we had the best time of our lives. We saw all the animals we had wished for. The choice of the lodges- Mara Serena and Sarova Lion Hill was perfect, good service and clean rooms.
We had a clean and comfortable land-cruiser to ourselves and this meant we had the opportunity to arrange our game drive times the way we wanted, this worked out great!
Kudos to Titus and the entire Swift Travel team for their wonderful job. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing trip
Jacob our guide with Mazingira Safari is an amazing guide that I would highly recommend to anyone planning a safari, he is in love with his country Tanzania and will do the right thing to protect it, very environmentally conscious in every detail and demands protection of the animals. if you are looking for a person to talk to and help you plan your amazing safari, he is you go to person. 5 stars *****

I wouldn't change this trip for a Luxury-Safari
Already booking was super easy and quick. I booked for a Budget-Safari. Though the first night was more luxus-camping, with own showers in our tents. And the campside there even had a swimming-pool. The chef was preparing lovely food like every day. And then the other campsides were an exhitement. It was set in the middle of the wildlife-area. So now and then some animales were passing by close to our camp. And the way the trip was planed was very good. So we went to Lake Manyara first and to the Crater at last. This way it is getting even more exhiting from one day to another. We saw all five and even more. Our driver would even go the extra mile and find the more hidden animals. All in all I wouldn't change this one for a Luxury-Safari and I highly recommend this operator.

Good choice for your first safari
We had our private safari trip for two persons in Kenya with Right Choice tour agency in January 2015. Overall experience was good and we can recommend this agency as a decent company for low/mid budget safari touring.
Plus for Russian speaking tourists is the option to communicate with company's agent Elena who makes all the communications before and during a trip smooth and easy.
George who is the main guy in the agency proved to be a customer care driven person. As we arrived to Kenya we were surprised to know that the lodge at our first stop in Amboseli park was luckily changed for a much more better 5 star Ol Tukai lodge with no extra payment needed. Thank you, George , for that :)
We were offered a Toyota minivan as our safari car, it is a popular budget option in Kenya. It wasn't technically that good during the trip, so I would recommend to pay attention to car's condition from the very beginning. The car wasn't so convenient on some Kenyan offroads, so you should think of other options if interested in more comfort.
Our driver Jacob was a nice guide, we were very pleased with him. Actualy that is very important to have a reliable guide in your trip in Africa. Jacob was the right guy, he showed us the Big Five :)
To sum up, Right Choice tour agency can provide you a nice trip if you are limited in budget and don't stress heavily when some not planned issues occur on their way. It's Afrika, so Hakuna Matata!
Fabulous experience
We have had eight days on Safari in Tanzania and it has been a wonderful holiday. Everything was so well organized and ran like clockwork. We were picked up on time, driven round the National Parks by an excellent guide with an amazing knowledge and very keen spotting skills. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti and viewed a huge range of animals. We can't thank Go2Africa enough for arranging it all.

Great safari guide and wonderful lodging!
My best friend and I went on a 10 day trip- 5 days safari and 5 days in Zanzibar. Our safari guide , Didas, was amazing! He was able to spot animals from a distance without evening using binoculars and was extremely knowledgeable and kind. The lodging- hotels and tented camps were beautiful and the food was great. We liked our hotel in Zanzibar - the Z Hotel - a lot. The only issue is that its far away (at least an hour) from most of the main attractions in Zanzibar- Stone Town, the national forest, spice tour, ect. Fortunately we were mainly there to dive, so we weren't really affected by that. However, given that there are many other great places to dive on the island, I'd probably pick a location closer to everything else next time. The only small complaint we have is that the gentleman who arranged our tour, Maturaf, became very unresponsive to email as soon as we put down our deposit on the trip, including neglecting to correct errors, like the spelling of my friends name and the fact that I'm a woman and we were not a couple. This caused a couple small hiccups at the airport and hotels were we ended up having to share a bed because he'd listed the room as wanting one bed. All in all, great trip and would use them again!

My experience with tropical vacations has been incredible.
Interaction with personnel at Tropical Vacations has been stellar. The service was well above my expectations. This was a well deserved tour and I will do it again. I highly recommend their services to anyone planning going safari tour.
Organized, professional, flexible
Northern Circuit Adventure was a good company for us, particularly as we were booking at the last minute, unsure of our options and what we wanted, and on a budget. Michael was flexible in booking and responded quickly, and he was able to add on a trip to Zanzibar after our safari. Our driver, Dennis, was so knowledgeable and personable, and our cook was also friendly and helpful. Small issues that arose were quickly taken care of, and it was definitely a good value, considering that people who paid much more to other companies had most of the same experiences.
