On time, on budget, on the bird!
Mwangi wa Gitu, from ConQuest Adventures sacrificed his Christmas weekend to guide my wife and I around the south shore of Lake Elementiata. Mwangi was working his home patch: he knew every song, every call, every flash of color. That end of the lake is lovely, surrounded by good acacia woodland, less developed and less visited than the more well-known Rift Valley soda lakes. We enjoyed both flamingos (dozens, not thousands) and large groups of white pelicans doing their cooperative feeding maneuvers. Life birds for me included Curlew Sandpiper, Purple Grenadier, Little Rock Thrush, Red Fronted Barbet, and Coqui Francolin.
Mwangi also shared great insights into the complex local situation with property owners, cattle herders, and resorts all competing for influence over the few enforcers of conservation regs. He was a delightful companion, an expert naturalist, punctual, and affordable. We look forward to our next outing with him.

Its was a very amazing safari!
It was a perfect safari, we saw the Big Five minus the rhinoceros. Samy was the best driver, he helped the other drivers when the car was stuck in the mud. I have had two great days and I have seen many animals. The road is long from Nairobi to the park, but it's fun. Asante sana :)

My first time I saw wild elephants, rhino & hyena!
I was in Etosha National Park in April 2017. It is end of the rainy season so there is enough water for the animals in the nature. That is maybe the reason why we had not so much good luck at waterholes. We had best sightings in the East around Fort Namutoni. It was the first time I saw elephants, a rhino and a hyena! Most of them in the afternoon, just before sunset.
On the way from East to West we saw a few antilopes, ostrich and some other birds and of course breath taking landscapes. But I wished we would have stayed in the East around Namutoni. Also at the waterhole at Okaukuejo Camp in the West we had no luck.
My recommendation would be coming in the dry season later the year (Aug-Oct) or staying a few days in the East instead of going to the West. But, this is safari, you never know what happens!! Maybe we had just bad luck.
The camp sites were all clean and there are shops and restaurants. It is possible there to book extra game drives / night drives. I recommend to bring your own water / don’t drink tap water (like I did in the rest of Namibia, without any issues).

my adventurous and charming trip down to Uganda
Me and my husband planned our festive holidays down to Uganda last December, at the airport we were welcomed by the yaneta crew Bracius and William who were so glad to receive us. They expressed themselves in excellent English and tried to translate the native languages to us which made communication more fun.
They booked us into the best lodges and travelled, guided us with no hesitation or bias. According to the way they guided us you could tell that they loved what they were doing. Having the yaneta safaris staff with us made the trip a success and really enjoyable.

Kenya / Tanzania Tour April 2018
We started off from Tsavo East and West National Parks in Kenya and later on boarder crossed to Tanzania to visit the following parks: Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Thanks a lot to George and his team for the service and a well organised tour.It was great to see getting quick responses for our e-mails. Also thanks to our tour guides Jackson and Yazid :) They were very helpful to us and showed all the animals (THE BIG FIVE) we wanted to see. We were very satisfied with the tour arrangements, prices and lodges. George organised a farewell dinner for us at Carnivore Restaurant and it was really amazing. The kids loved this tour so much. We will come again in 2020. Once again thank you very much ''Right Choice''.

“So Amazing “
One of my best trip ever. The walk in the jungle was amazing (and not too hard). Hanging out with the gorillas was an incredible experience. Our guide was very nice and explained us many things about the park we drove through.
Uganda is an amazingly beautiful country with stunning places to see. I really hope I will have the opportunity to come back.Viv

Review about Kruger National Park by Adrian
The Kruger Park is awesome for animal spotting because you will find all big 5 there. The downside is, there are a lot of cars, and you cannot go offroad

They were really very good!
We had such a great time on Safari. Ben our driver was helpful and really knew what he was doing, so we go to see so many animals. Jessica in the office was very professional and easy to coordinate with.Infact we had contacted so many agencies but theirs was the only one to respond immediately and was very accomodative with out requests.My only recommendation would be to improve the travel van...even though it took us everywhere we needed to go, it could have been more comfortable for sure! So an upgrade on that would be excellent. Be clear on the package you are choosing and have a great time with these guys!
