Surpassed all of our expectations and more
Communications were clear, timely and courteous at all times.
Service was impeccable, and surpassed all of our expectations
The Tour was incredible, with adequate breaks. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five with the help of our eagle eyed driver.
Arrangements for our stays in the three parks were seamless, had amazing food, loved the staff and stays.
Plan to revisit in Kenya/Tanzania, and will be seeking out George and Right Choice Tours & Safaris for sure.

We had a great 4 days safari trip with Right Choice team!
Shootout to Millicent and Wycliffe and Right Choice Safari Team! We just finished an amazing, unforgettable 4 days trip in Masai Mara (2 nights); Lake Nakuru (1 night); Lake Naivasha(1hour boat ride on the 4th day). Millicent was excellent in her timely communication with clear answers. Her service was professional. Our driver Wycliffe was a very safe driver, and he was a very knowledgeable guy. We have seen a variety of animals thanks to him. Also he was very patient, he made sure we were satisfied at each stop. And the Mara Sopa Lodge, Lake Nakuru Lodge that we stayed in were too notch. The hotel staff were very friendly. Overall it was a hassel free, memorable experience. We highly recommend this tour group if you are planning to travel to East Africa.

A one in a lifetime trip that went as smoothly as was to be expected
George from Right Choice was excellent in his timely communication with thorough answers. Absolutely no complaints there. The service was professional and competent. Our tour driver Kamal was a lovely and knowledgable guy who achieved everything we set out to see. We saw everything! Even when we didn't see Rhinos in Lake Nakuru (which everyone said was highly likely) we added another park at the end to fill in this missing gap. We couldn't have asked for more in this regard. The tour itself was the classic 8-day tour including Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage (which we highly recommend). We ended up adding Nairobi NP at the end. Kamal managed to get us to everything on time and gave us the maximum possible safari experience. No technical question about the animals and the country went unanswered. Overall, we are extremely happy with the tour and would have no hesitation recommending Right Choice Safaris to anyone. You will be in safe hands!

Highly recommend Right Choice for a wide range of Kenyan adventures
Right Choice did a great job coordinating a complex itinerary for us in Kenya, and get my highest recommendation.
We booked three separate tours with Right Choice. All three of the guides were excellent and made our experience special:
– Moses took us on a 1-day tour of Nairobi, giving us an insider's look at the capital including Kibera.
– George took us on a 6-day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli – pointing out animals we wouldn't have seen on our own and making sure we got every last photo we wanted.
– Julius took us on a 3-day summit of Mt Kenya, making a challenging hike fun while explaining a unique ecosystem.
Pickups before and between tours were seamless. Communication was good throughout – they kept meticulous records of our itinerary and answered questions promptly (shoutout to Millicent in the front office).
There were little touches throughout that really made our lives easier, like letting us store bags in the front office in between our safari and mountain summit so we wouldn't have to carry luggage to the top of a 5000m mountain. George (the owner) even personally met us at our hotel at the end to return them.
A bit of advice: for whatever tour(s) you're considering make sure you're clear on each day's itinerary because distances between parks can be substantial. It was a worthwhile tradeoff for to me in order to see more parks and ultimately more of Kenya, but the days in the van can be long.
Overall, Right Choice delivered on the trip of a lifetime and I'd recommend them for anyone thinking of Kenya.

We had a great time in safari! James was professional, trying to do his best to comfort us. We have seen a variety of wild animals thanks to him. And also matira lodge was satisfied, well-equiped accomodation with fine meals. Thanks for this great opportunity to travel wild africa. We really enjoyed this trip :)

Great price without compromising on the quality of service
Right choice definitely gave me the best pricing compared to a lot of others and without compromising on service.
George, Manager, was amazing. Extremely nice, helpful and accommodating.
Albert the driver was very patient, knowledgeable and experienced... we couldnt have asked for
better people.
The entire safari was planned meticulously and we had absolutely no reason to complain about anything whatsoever.
Would definitely recommend without hesitation.
We had an amazing 3 days with Right Choice Tours and Safaris
The service surpassed expectations. Wycliffe ensured we saw all the Big Five in our day and a half safari. He was happy to stop for photos and drove very competently. The accommodation and food was excellent. Moses and Peter were also very obliging drivers.

Very good experience in Kenya and Tanzania
Right Choice is indeed a very good option in case you are planning to go to Kenya. The communication by mail is very good and they answer in matter of hours. We had 3 guides in the different parts of our 15 days safari and the three were very nice, good drivers and with wide knowledge about wild life. About hotels, we have only to remark one place that did not meet our expectations, but in total we stayed in 8 different hotels, and besides the one exception the others were very good. People very nice and friendly. In summary we highly recommend to take into consideration this enterprise if you are planning to go to East Africa.

Amazing Safari and Tesort Experience
We did the 8 day safari and 3 day all inclusive! What a great experience! The Right Choice staff was amazing an Millicent quickly answered any questions we had. Our driver, Wycliffe, was knowledgeable about the parks and animal and navigated through some tricky terrain like an expert.
The lodges we stayed in were top notch and the staff at each were helpful and kind.
Although there was more driving than we expected, the first time you see an elephant in Amboseli, you forget about the time it took to get there.
I cannot say enough good things about this company, the people, or our experience!

I would definitely recommend Right Choice and Jacob personally
First of all , the most important thing I wanted to say is that it was unforgettable trip with the impressions for the year or even more.
Some details I wanted to share which were important and better to know in advance:
If you go to Kenia you should be ready to face some "local specifics". People are not always very fast, they don't always provide what you paid for, sometimes they just don't want to listen and understand what you need. This is what Jacob as our guide should deal with on all the way and he did his job very well. If I ever go to safari in Kenia again, I will go with Jacob.
What I didn't like was accommodation. Right choice don't give any advice, just provide you the list of campings and they all are awful and the cheapest you can find (not for you of course).
There was one unpleasant issue with the train ticket for our way back because of this "local specific" as well. There was a mistake in date and we spent few hours trying to change it, which was critical for the timing. So be careful and check details.
Our route was the following: Masai Mara, then Nakuru and Amboseli. I would recommend to spend more days in Masai Mara and don't waist time on the way to Amboseli, we've seen there elephants and cheetahs, but they were in Masai Mara as well. So we spent a lot of time on the way and didn't see anything new. Maybe I'd better go to Naivasha instead. And by the way Kimana Amboseli Camp was awful, don't do our mistake and don't go there - no water, no electricity, no clean sheets, no wi-fi, torn mosquito nets, wild mosquitoes biting you all night long.
