The wildlife was magnificent, exciting to see the animals so close up
The safari worked so well as all the arrangements are in place so accommodation ,food transport were fine . Some of the tracks were rough but that is Kenya!The guide was an excellent spotter & pointed out the animals well before we saw them & also explained about their social way of living. The highlights were the elephant groups & their interaction.

A good value for money ratio, nothing more
The accomodation was ok, apart from the mosquito nets full of holes, totally inefficient. The food was good! The first guide we had didn't stop long enough to observe the animals quietly, hardly ever turned off the engine of the van, and was all the time busy with the radio (which is good to spot the animals and share with the other vans, but not all day long!! Very noisy! ) The second guide was much calmer, gave many explanations and showed an interest in sharing his incredible knowledge!
We did a marathon game drive (not as planned) a full day instead of splitting on two days (as planned) with an early morning game drive the second one, which would have been less exhausting, less haste and hence more enjoyable (and also, I suspect the objective of the agency was to save the entrance fee just for one morning; the entrance fee is valid 24 hours)
Although it is written down in black and white, the programme is "flexible", which has both advantages and disadvantages.
At the end we took a bus with a company (Tahmed) partner of the agency: very bad experience: the staffmember on board (not the driver) was very rude after I said I didn't need a taxi at the arrival, and kept looking at my daughter (23) as if she was a piece of meat! Very unpleasant!
Otherwise, it's pretty well organised, the staff on the camp sites are really sweet and quick to react to meet your needs.

Amazing
This was our first trip to Kenya. One of our best holidays ever! We would most definitely recommend Right Choice Tours & Safaris.
Kenyans are so welcoming & friendly. Always smiling!
The wildlife is like no other. We got up close & personal with the animals. In the 4x4, we toured Amboseli & Masai Mara. A wonderful experience!
The weather was warm, clear & sunny... what more can one want.
A brilliant way to see animals in their natural habitat.
We watched sunrise & sunset, beautiful & picturesque! We photographed animals with sunrise & sunset...a sight to behold! It’s forever imprinted in memory!
The accommodation was brilliant! Clean, excellent room service, friendly staff. Buffet meals three times a day, hot well prepared food, lots of choice! Just amazing!
Our safaris guides were brilliant! We had Emmanuel for Amboseli & he drove us around endlessly & patiently.
For Masai Mara we had Ruben, who was great. He was very well informed & took us around to all the spots. We’ve never seen so many beautiful animals before!
Other highlights- Balloon safari was a unique experience! We watched the sunrise & animals from above!
We spent half a day on boat safari on lake Naivashu, saw hippos, beautiful unique birds.. Anthony & Nick were great! We walked around crescent island with the herbivores... just amazing!
We spent an entire day in Hells gate! What an experience! We cycled for 20km, we hiked in the gorge, saw ‘devils bedroom’..... the hot springs... did rope climbing, scaled the highest point..
Joseph our guide for the day was brilliant...
Overall, a wonderful experience, many thanks to George from Right choice in putting together this amazing itinerary... a truly memorable trip...

Great safari experience
I went to Kenya with my boyfriend. We were supposed to go on a safari first, and then spend 10 days on the beach in Diani. We had booked a 6 day safari with Karibu Safari, which included Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. The last month before the trip, we had alot of contact with the safari agency. Robert answered all our questions quickly. We really appreciated that and it made us secure and informed. The plan was to be picked up at the airport in Nairobi as soon as we arrived, and start the safari the same day. Unfortunately our flight got delayed from Oslo, so we arrived one day later. When I contacted Karibu to reschedule the safari for the next day, the agency was really helpful.
The van we used was a bit run down, but the seats were comfortable. We were 6 people in the van in Masai Mara, plus the driver Aron. Thereafter we were 4 in the van, plus Aron. The roads are dusty and bumpy in many places, but Aron made us feel safe and well taken care off by him. Arony seemed to be a very experienced driver and he had much knowledge about the animals we saw, In Masai Mara we were very lucky and saw the big 5. Aron ensured that we got the best out of the game drives. We had plenty of time to take pictures. Aron was driving us as close to the animals as possible, and at the same time respecting them and their space. The wildlife in Masai Mara and Amboseli was amazing.
The only negative part was that the agency could not take us to Nakuru right after Masai Mara, as planned. They said that the reason was because of our flight delay and that they had to reschedule it this way. After Masai Mara we went to Amboseli. Karibu safari offered us to go to Nakuru afterwards or bring us back to Nairobi. The trip from Amboseli to Nakuru involves several more hours of driving than from Masai Mara, and we decided not to go there after all. Because of this, Karibu Safari gave us some money back. Allthough we were a bit disappointed, we appreciated the deal, and it seemed fair.
In Amboseli we stayed in tented camps where we had our own room with private bathroom. The standard is budget, but the camps in Masai Mara and Amboseli were okey. They served buffet for breakfast and dinner, and we were able to charge our cameras and phones. All in all; we had a great safari experience and will highly recommend Karibu Safari. Make sure you ask for Aron as a driver :)

Safari was amazing, booking agent was brilliant and very helpful, answered every email and question I had and organised transfers very well. Stayed at kichwa tempo which was beautiful, it had a very personal touch, the lodges were perfect and the food was lovely. Our guide was brilliant and went out his way to make sure we see whatever we was interested in. Weather was hot in day time slightly cold of night time and early mornings. Overall had one of the best times in my life here was absolutely perfect.

Amazing safari week by BeaconSafaris visiting Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, West and East Tsavo. High class driver/guide, pleasant true luxury accommodation in lodges inside parks. No words about nature and wildlife-only senses and emotions. Attractive 1week stay on ocean cost in Miami Beach.

Fantastic safari
We had chosen to spend our Christmas on Safari, here we had some years ago been to SA and Kruger Park. This was a complete different experience, we liked it a lot and thanks to our fantastic driver James, we managed to see all big 5's in one day at Masai Mare
I don't know if we were lucky with Amazing Safarie's and their driver James, whom took us round for one week, he was pleasant, with knowledge and every thing went smooth, accommodation food and transport all worked very well !
We would not hesitate to use same company and driver on our next safari
