Review about Addo Elephant National Park by Marilyn
Did not see that much game and park very dry
Experience level: over 5 safaris
A very nice smaller reserve and easy to travel around in one or two days at a leisurely pace
Very beautiful karoo scenery and especially when seeing those beautiful boulders gleaming in the setting sunset. A fair amount of animals and lovely to see the zebras. Upholstery in chalets needs to be cleaned. Some of the crockery/cutlery was missing, such as braai tongs and salad servers. A nice 2km walk from the chalets up the hill. Monkeys a nuisance have to keep everything closed.

Elephants make the park
Huts okay. A little inconvenient that cooking and washing up facilities not on premises. A clean-up needs to be undertaken around the vegetation as quite a bit of litter lying around

Great team, well organised and professional
I booked a 3 day Safari to Serengeti and Ngorogoro and had a wonderful experience seeing the big 5 and lots of other wild life in their natural habitat.
Our guide Lewis was just great, knew all the ropes and had great knowledge about the animals. The food provided by our chef Salim was absolutely delicious, fresh and diverse. Sleeping on the campsites was an unknown but enriching experience- thank you Hilary, for convincing me to book that option, but most importantly I felt safe and well taken care of at all times.
Thank you Suricata!

Great service, knowledgeable, helpful and very easy to reach and communicate with.
Our plans started almost 2 years ago, after lots of planning we had booked our safari in early February of 2020 scheduled for end of May, we had paid a small deposit and Covid happened. George from Right Choice safari assured us that he will honor our plans till end or 2021 and finally we were able to plan it for September of this year 2021. In fact we returned to USA only yesterday after an amazing experience. We have travelled to many international destinations and in past used many travel agencies but George from Right Choice Safari has been best so far. I must have e mailed him, called him or sent him messages dozens of times over past 18 months and he always knew and remembered what was our plan and what we need. Like most of us, I was very apprehensive about Covid test requirements before returning to USA and he made it happen like a magic, a medical personal came to our car, took samples and within less than 20 hours we got our negative covid results through e mail.
Our flight to Nairobi was delayed but it was good to see that our guide Jacob was waiting for us at airport to take us to our hotel. Jacob remained with us for our entire trip including separately planned day trip of Nairobi city and full 5 nights 6 days safari.
Jacob was very knowledgeable and I would ask for him only if I would go again because we realized that but for him we would not have been able to see many things we had opportunity to see. we saw plenty of Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, Hippo, Rhinos, elephants to include plenty of birds, wild beasts, Giraffes and Zebras.
All hotels were good, clean and located within parks, meals were customized to meet our needs as we are vegetarians and even specially prepared to stratify our taste buds.
We had requested bigger 4 by 4 and we were assigned a Highlander, which was bit dated but not bad. Only thing I would ask more is to get an car with working AC, as with open top at safari would not needed but long drives from Nairobi to Masai Mara, Amboseli and Nakaru in hot and dusty roads would have made it more pleasant.
Overall, it was once a life time experience thanks to George from Right Choice and our guide Jacob and I would strongly recommend him to anybody.

Amazing safari experience with tour guide Salehe and chef Halid!!
Me (Belgian) and my girlfriend (German) had an amazing safari experience with our tour guide Salehe and chef Halid. It was a wonderful experience to see all the wild animals. Salehe is very knowledgable about all the wild animals, nature, national parks and much more. Moreover, he is also a mechanic which is very useful on these kind of roads. When we arrived back at the camp, chef Halid cooked amazing, tasty, local meals. He is also very helpful with setting-up the tents and other tasks at the camp.
We saw all the animals we wanted to see, including the Rhino which is very difficult to spot in this kind of period. Be aware that you might not see all the wild animals, as Salehe always says: "this is not a zoo, these are wild animals".
The business owner Geoffrey is also very helpful and seems to be able to handle any complications. Everything went simple and smooth.
Overall: highly recommend Meru slopes! 6-day camping was an amazing experience. Very glad we had this team!

Leonard was unbelievable! He happily guided us 12 hours a day and found animals everywhere.
The tour was unbelievable. Leonard was our driver, guide and he found every animal possible. He knew his animals. He took us around for 12 hours a day. The food was fantastic at the camps and the workers at the camps were kind and helpful. I do not have one negative thing to say about Mazingira. Our gal, Jahari Wilii helped my husband put the tour together. She is easy to work with also.

Reliable Dependable Accommodating
George was the contact person and Jacob was our guide/ driver. He was amazing in identifying animals in camouflaged environment. He took extra effort to make sure we got excellent view at animals while many other safari vehicles also there to view same thing.
Accommodations at every places ( Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli NP) were excellent but if I have to pick one I will pick Lodge at Lake Nakuru.
I will definitely recommend them without any reservations and suggest to ask for Jacob as your guide.

Incredible safari with our guide Ombeni from Gosheni
One of the best trip of my life. We had an incredible safari with our guide Ombeni. We went to Tarangire, N'gorongoro and Serengeti national parks. He brings us to the best places and made us to see all the animals we wanted to see. Also he shared his knowledges with us and taught us a lot of things about the animals, parks and Tanzania. The accommodations and people we met were fantastic, warm and so welcoming.
Thank you Ombeni and Gosheni Safari for making one of my dream comes true.
I recommend at 100% Gosheni Safari (and ask Ombeni as a guide he’s amazing and the best !)
