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.

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.

Professional
We had a private 2 days & 1-night safari trip to Masai Mara.
Millicent and Mr George were very helpful with the enquiry and trip customization to suit my group's needs. They answered all our questions prior to the booking and also agreed to our payment option.
Mr Ken, our guide and driver is experienced and knowledgeable. He made sure we saw as many animals as possible. We ended up seeing 4 of the Big 5 (the Rhinos refused to come out of their hiding) and some other animals like the Cheetah despite our short time on the trip.
Our accommodation was clean and the service including the food was good.
The only thing I will change is the meals at the stops. The restaurants didn't have much to offer especially for foreigners.
Overall, it was a nice experience and good value for money.

Great safari experience and a memorable family vacation!
We took a trip to Kenya with Right Choice this past August and it was our most memorable and fun vacation as a family. We were 9 adults and 4 kids and travelled to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara.
George, the owner, earned our trust right from the first time we reached out asking for quotes. He provided details, followed up on our questions, helped us craft our itinerary and stayed connected with all the way till we reached back home. He was prompt in getting us support while we were in Nairobi, helping us book additional rooms while we were on the trip and was flexible with our changes. Overall great customer relations and communication skills. All his arrangement exceeded our expectations and the hotels that he picked were great as well.
Our tour guides were the ones that made our stay and safari truly memorable. We had two land cruisers and our guides were Jacob and Opany. They picked us up from the airport, drove us around in Nairobi, stayed with us through the Safari and dropped us back to the airport. They were both warm, fun and knowledgable about the Safaris. Jacob, in particular, was very good at spotting animals and guessing their patterns to a point where he could see things that we could not with our binoculars. He made sure that we saw the big 5, but also covered lots of animals and birds based on the park that we were in. We were lucky to see a Lion family, a Hyena stealing a carcass, Rhinos and not to mention that the several hundred thousand wildebeest doing the migration at the time. It was a great experience overall.
Right Choice was the Perfect Choice for our family!
Mustafa.

AMAZING SAFARI!!! Fantastic Guide and More Wildlife Than I Thought Was Possible!
Our safari with Right Choice Tours & Safari's was incredible! First-off, the wildlife!!!! Rhino's, Leopards, Lions, Cheetah's, Hippos, Giraffe's, Zebras, Monkeys, and about 40 other animals that are too many to list! Here's the thing... You do not have to search hard for these animals, they are right there for your own eye's to see! It was a rush! The highlight was when we got to a Cheetah hunt, sprint, and catch a Thompson's Gazelle!!!
John, our guide, would have to second to list! He was the most kind, thoughtful, educated, and experienced man for the job that we could have imagined. My wife even cried when we had to say goodbye at the end of our trip! Thank you John for everything you do and we wish you the best in life moving forward!
The safari camps, hotels, resorts will have to be last on our list to review. All were amazing in the their own way! From the staff, design, and food, and general feeling of Kenyan luxury we felt when entering was all more than we anticipated!
We would recommend Right Choice to anyone and will hopefully be able to go back soon!

Amazing Safari
We chose the 7 days Safari from Nairobi to Mombasa, going through Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli NP and Tsavo West.
Our contact from the company was George. Very nice and helpful at any times. You can trust him.
The trip was amazing! We have seen the big five and a lots of others animals. We have witnessed the beginning of the migration.
All of the hotel booked by George were magical. We would almost be sad because we didn’t have enough time to enjoy these beautiful places.
Also David, our guide, was very kind and considerate with us, patient and good guide/driver. Sometimes disorganized but it’s fine.
Negative side: The traffic.
From Nairobi to Amboseli National Park traffic was VERY disturbed and slow. It took 6 hours to get to the hotel. So we have lost the entire day on the road.. No game drive the evening.
Anyway, I recommend this company. You will not be disappointed. Very good value for the price.
Thanks again to them.

they are trustworthy, helpful, organized and very experienced
The manager helped me from start to finish in organizing my safari. He was exceptionally responsive and very precise.
Always smiling and answering all my doubts and questions. I am extremely grateful to this team.
I was able to organize my trip down to the smallest detail, which allowed me to relax once there. Everything was perfect: accommodations, transfers, punctuality and especially our guide, an incredible man who knows absolutely everything about wild life and his country. It is always quite complicated to organize and prepare a trip like this remotely and to call on professionals, locals who know absolutely everything about their country is a saving of time and extraordinary peace of mind. Thanks to this agency, we have memories engraved for life.

Amazing experience, and a team that had our backs every step of the way
This was a trip of a lifetime, wow. Myself and my parents joined Right Choice Safaris for 15 days through Kenya and Tanzania, and the experience was beyond words… amazing amazing amazing. Before the trip, George was fantastic at alleviating all of our concerns, answering every question, and adjusting the itinerary to meet our wants/needs. This was especially impressive given the need to navigate visa AND covid testing requirements for two different countries. Once we arrived in Kenya, they had our backs with every step and made sure we didn’t have to lift a finger to organize anything. Everything was done for us and ran smoothly and beautifully. Our guides, Jacob in Kenya and Simon in Tanzania, were both phenomenal! They blew us away with their kindness, knowledge, flexibility, humor, and expertise. The wildlife, the destinations, the accommodations, the food… this trip is a much do. Thank you so much George, Jacob, Simon, and team!
