George Oketch planned the perfect Safari and Beach Vacation.
Right Choice made sure we had the perfect experience in Kenya. George Oketch planned a great adventure. He promptly answered all our question. From the time our guide, Jacob, picked up us at the airport, until we were dropped off for our return flight home, everything flowed seamlessly. Our guide, Jacob, made sure we had a tremendous time. His knowledge of the wildlife and parks is unparralled. He went out of his way to make sure we got the most out of every game drive. We saw the Big 5. We visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nukuru, Amboseli, Tsavo West, and Tsavo East in 9 days. We finished our trip with 3 days on the Indian Ocean in Diani Beach. We would not change anything.

An AMAZING and UNFORGETTABLE ADVENTURE
Words can’t adequately describe our Amazing Anniversary Safari. “Right Choice” is the right words for this value company as they surpassed our dreams for coming to Kenya for three various Safari locations. Not only did George Oketch assist with our trip planning but mention several additional ways to enhance our experience; like a hot air balloon ride. Ken Ojiema was our incredible driver and guide as he was quick to fulfill the list of the vast variety of wild animals who hoped to see. He not only accomplished this; and many more that we didn’t even think of, but we felt like we could literally reach out the window and touch them. The photo shots were spectacular as he placed us in perfect alliance of which I saw no other company do. His knowledge and expertise of the animals and their habitats truly brought to life this wild and colorful adventure. We hope to return again soon with family and friends as we will always treasure this memorable anniversary as one of our very best! Thanks Ken and George

We had a great tour, we were concerned coming with the pandemic but it was great. Mahmud was an awesome guide, he found the big 5 and was great at finding and pointing out animals, stopping whenever we wanted and making sure we saw everything we came to see. He was friendly, professional and truly the nicest guy. The hotels were great and the whole tour was put together very well, it was very easy for us and we had a great time. We absolutely recommend this company for your Safari.

WONDERFUL !
I recommend that everyone trust George to organize your safari. He has always listened to our expectations and has done his best to satisfy us. Our safari was amazing, we saw many animals and the lodges were fabulous. A special mention to John, our great guide, with whom we had a super time and who did everything to make us happy.
Do not hesitate and go ahead and book with Rightchoice for a dream safari !
Thanks again to George and his team, you are the best !

Amazing Trip
We booked the Kenya to Tanzania tour and added the Zanzibar Beach experience. Overall the trip was amazing and we saw many, many animals. The weather was great and all the hotels were excellent (especially Ashnil in Mara). Both drivers, Jacob in Kenya and Simone in Tanzania were also so experienced and personable. It felt like the other safari drivers in both countries looked to them on the radio for info and animal sightings.
I communicated with George in the office over a year before our trip and he was always very responsive to my questions and thorough. With the COVID-19 pandemic happening during our booking we were never quite sure if we were going to be able to go. However it worked out that my husband and I were fully vaccinated before we left and our driver in Kenya had his first shot as well. We had to get several COVID tests, one before we left the US to enter Kenya, one in Kenya to enter Tanzania, another rapid-test at the border in Tanzania, and then one in Zanzibar to return to the US. Our drivers helped make the arrangements for these.
So I would highly recommend this trip with Right Choice. We had our own Land Cruiser in both Kenya and in Tanzania that were both new vehicles. Jacob and Simone both made sure we saw all the big 5 animals and even the hard to spot Rinos! They both taught us much about the animals as well. All in all we saw some 50 lions! Some of the prides were quite large, one even had 2 males and many cubs! It satisfied our need for lions after at first only seeing on in the distance in Amboseli! We were a little early for the great migration, but the wildebeest were getting ready for it. There were thousands of them at time as far as you can see, along with the zebras! The positive is that since we were a bit early, there weren't many other tourists.
The only problem we had was at the Tanzania border which we had not purchased a Tanzania Visa a head of time. We were under the impression the Kenyan Visa would be good for all of East Africa. So we had to purchase that there and it took a bit more time and made the day to Serengeti very long! Just make sure you purchase both online before you go.
The last few days at Blue Bay Beach resort were a nice way to relax and unwind after going everyday, so I'm glad we did that. The resort grounds were beautiful, so was the beach, and the staff were great. The food was fine, always plenty. I added a day to our trip to visit Stonetown to get a little of the local culture which was nice. We stayed at the Hilton Doubleday where was very nice. Unfortunately since there haven't been many tourists, the locals all try to sell you something. So we did our part for the local economy as best we could.
The local people are all so friendly and seemed to really appreciate us being there after a year of not having many tourists. "Asante-sana", Thank your VERY much! Thanks again Right Choice for all your help and in making this an unforgettable experience. Perhaps we'll do a South Africa trip in the future.

Resourceful, helpful and very pleasant.
The tour guide was Jacob. He was very helpful and seemed to be very familiar with the locations to sight the games. He is very warm and very knowledgeable about the games reserve. The planning was on point and we were very comfortable. We did not worry about anything. The communications were very clear, we knew what we need to do, where to meet and how to enjoy ourselves. The cost was well worth it and I will certainly like to do this again in the near future.

Amazing highly recommend
I’m so glad we chose this company for the safari in Kenya. Masai Mara was beautiful and our driver Ken made us feel so welcomed. Our experience would not have been the same if it wasn’t for Ken’s kindness. He picked us up from Nairobi and stayed with us for 4 days of game driving adventures. With him we were able to see the big 5 and he was super knowledgeable about all of the animals. If you see this Ken, thank you very much for your hospitality. We will definitely be returning!

Jacob was a great tour guide he made sure we spotted as much of the big five as possible.
The safari was a once and a lifetime experience , it was nice to have the owner George come and meet us personally at the start of trip. Our guide Jacob was very knowledgeable about the animals and their habitat and made sure we got to see as much possible.

Amazing trip!
Right choice and right decision i would say. Because it was really right decision to choose this agency. Tour manager George was answering all questions 24/7. He did his best to give us the best value for money. Our guide John tried his best to show us big five and we saw it
