Fantastic 5-day Mt.Kenya Trek thanks to Grayton Expeditions!
Just got down from a 5 day trek to Mt.Kenya’s third highest peak - Lenana Peak. I did the Sirimon Route up to the peak and down via the Chogoria Route. Grayton Expeditions was excellent in setting this up for me at the last minute and taking care of all the arrangements, including transportation to/from Nairobi, and rental gear. The office communicated quickly and answered all my questions. My guide (Sam), porter (Kevin), and cook (Marron) were incredible and made the entire trek personalized and enjoyable. I’ve climbed many of the mountains in East Africa but this trek far exceeded my expectations! The scenery was breathtaking, the hikes were not too challenging (including the summit night) and the huts on the mountain were in good shape. I’m extremely happy with the route I chose as you get to see two very different sides of the mountain. For fit hikers I would also recommend trying the reverse (beginning on the Chogoria route and finishing on Sirimon). I did the hike at the end of March which is the beginning of the rainy season (and therefore low season). I saw almost no other hikers and it actually only rained at night, so I recommend mid to late March. Overall great experience, would recommend this operator to anyone!

Another brilliant safari with Right Choice.
Our second booking with Right Choice was as wonderful as the first. We are going on our third in April! Joshua, our brilliant guide, is kind, knowledgeable and efficient and he has become a real friend! Well done, George Oketch, for your professionalism and always going the extra mile. You and your company has helped us make amazing memories.

The tour exceed our expectations
Me and my husband took a trip to Tanzania and I, by chance, found Henry on the net. He has been very very responsive from the begining and tailored the whole 8 days based on our wishes and budget. He assigned us a great guide, Mashek, who definitely has eagle eyes and great sense of humour. We went on a limited budget yet everything was fine and well organized. We also had 1.5 days in Zanzibar- due to tide- we could not enjoy blue waters as in pictures yet had very different experience walking on the sea at 6.00 am to watch fisherman and walk with ladies on the sea for catching crabs. We definitely suggest Henry and Mashek (our guide) for your trip to Tanzania and thank them. (We took some child clothes and toys, the children were happy to receive them, so why not some joy to local kids!)

Incredible!
We owe James five incredibly intense safari days full of unforgettable experiences. His private safari for our family of six was well organized and we saw far more than the "Big Five" - including two leopards and a cheetah up close. Thank you for your professionalism, friendliness and driving skills - off the road and in the „jungle" of Nairobi!

Ezekiel was a knowledgeable, accommodating, and personable tour guide
We had such a blast on the Suricata Tours. The guide Ezekiel was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and personable. The chef who came with us, Tito, was an amazing cook. We had a variety of fresh food and ate happily three times a day. The parks were great too- we went to Ngorongoro, Tangire, and Serengeti every day from 6 or 7 am to around 5:30 every day. Ezekiel was able to spot basically every animal on our list including cheetahs and rhinos. We were in a car with three other people for a total of 6 people. We preferred this and had a great time with the other guests. The car was comfortable and ample water was provided daily. We camped every night (though nicer facilities were possible). The tents were very sturdy and nice and mosquito proof. Great communication over WhatsApp, good value for money and felt safe the whole time. Highly recommend this tour company!

Eziekel was knowledgeable and fun and made the trip even better!
We had the best time on our safari with Suricata. We did 4 days through Tangiere, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. We also did a stop at the Masai community. Our guide, Ezekiel, was wonderful. He spotted so many animals (including 8 rhinos!), knew a ton of information and hung out with us on our downtime. We learned so much about wildlife and Tanzanian culture from him. We did the camping option and Ezekiel played cards with us at night and taught us Tanzanian songs. Our chef, Tito, was so professional and an incredible cook. I really didn’t expect the meals to be that good. From the breakfasts of pancakes and eggs to the elaborate multi dish lunches and dinners, I was super well fed. We had three vegetarians in our group and all of us had enough options. We went in March which was a blast. It’s the rainy season, but the rain never got in the way of seeing animals and we had the campsites to ourself. Everything was smooth and well organized. Hilary, the company owner, was always prompt in his communication. Truly one of the greatest experiences of my life!! You will not regret booking.
A must do experience in Tanzania with awesome, welcoming guides
We highly recommend the 4-day safari camping option. We had an extremely welcoming group, guide, and chef that made the entire experience worthwhile. The safari car was also super clean and well maintained. Ezekiel was an awesome guide, who was very knowledgeable, kind, and easy going. Tito was our chef, who made the most amazing meals. On one of the nights, we had downpour rain, and somehow both Ezekiel and Tito helped to create an awesome evening full of a 4-course dinner and games that made it fun and full of laughter. I couldn’t of asked for a better welcome to Tanzania to see its beautiful nature and welcoming community. Suricata Safari is a must do and unforgettable, especially with guides as great as Ezekiel and Tito.

Nice, accommodating, knowledgeable
I had a really good time. Masai Mara and Amboseli are stunning and truly hard to describe in words.
The hotels were all nice.
The drivers, Raymond and Kevin, were both very accommodating, kind, and knowledgeable. I would recommend them!
