Amazing experience, all the animals we hoped for, great service!
We are so glad we booked with Right Choice and had a wonderful experience with our guide George Mulinge, who was an excellent driver and wildlife expert. The accommodations were better than we expected along with delicious food at each location. Our 5 days in Naivasha/Nakuru/Masai Mara were unforgettable! One highlight was seeing hippos grazing in the backyard of our room at Naivasha Sopa Lodge in the evening and waking up in the morning to zebras, water bucks and giraffes wild in the yard. We saw flamingos and 12 rhinos early in the morning at Nakuru and saw the rest of the Big 5 at Masai Mara, as well as cheetahs and the huge Eland antelope.
The coordinator, also named George, was quick to respond and was very helpful in making adjustments based on our budget and interests, including biking at Hell’s Gate. We are so pleased with our experience and highly recommend Right Choice.

The best tour operator and guides in Africa
Right choice tours and safaris created an amazing trip for us. We loved every day and they made sure everything was well-organized from strict communications throughout the payment details. We booked very last minute (5 days before start) but that was not a problem.
Our driver and guide Lawrence was the icing on the cake. He knew everything about the history of Kenya, all the details from the different animals and made sure that we got to see the big 5. He also made sure we got the best view and arranged all other activities such as the boat ride in Lake Naivasha. For us he was 10/10 stars and he was the best guide that we ever experienced from all the tours and trips we had!

Sensational
It truly is a "rigth choice". From the contacts during the planning, the reception at the airport, daily punctuality in the tours. Excellent guide, Lorenzo, with a lot of knowledge about animals, and their characteristics in the savanna, and tireless in the search for the best moments, groups of animals and positions for photos. I really recommend it a lot.

We really made the right choice
We did a quick 2 day safari since we were flying in from tanzania and only in Kenya a couple of days. Our guide was Apollo. We were able to see all the animals we wanted on the first day. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, happy. And able to see it all. He even took amazing photos of us and made sure we were able to get good pictures of the animals. We will use them again when we come back to Kenya.

Met All Expectations and More
Wow, my wife and I just spent 14 wonderful days on photo safari in Kenya and Tanzania organized by Right Choice Tours and Safaris! From the very beginning planning stage 9 months prior the manager George was honest, prompt and thorough in all our dealings.
Our tour included Lake Navaisha, Lake Nakuru NP, Masai Mara NP in Kenya, then Serengeti NP, Tarangire NP, and Ngorongoro NP in Tanzania, before returning to Kenya’s Amboselli NP. We were picked up and dropped off at the Nairobi Airport by our Kenya Guide Mr. Opany. Our lodgings met our expectations and some even more so (ie Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge, Farm of Dreams Lodge in Ngorongoro, and Kibo Camp in Amboselli).
Mr. Opany was brilliant. He was extremely knowledgeable, very personable (he seemed to know everyone in Kenya) and clearly enjoyed sharing info with us. He seemed to know where the animals would be and at what time. He even predicted that we would witness the 3 Cheetah brothers we were following on day one in Masai Mara make a kill the in the afternoon the next day, which is exactly what happened as they took down a 200 lb Topi.
As COVID was still an issue and required a 72 hour Negative COVID test prior to entering Tanzania from Kenya and again prior to our return to Kenya, George had arranged for testing in advance of us crossing the borders. Mr. Opany was with us through the exit from Kenya then handed us off to our Tanzania guide, Mr. Chambuso.
Again, Mr. Chambuso was an excellent guide which we spent six days with in Tanzania. He knew the parks like the back of his hand and was able to put us in position to witness and photograph the big five numerous times and other animals and birds all other times. We were super excited to see Leopards and lions in the trees and a family of Cheetahs take down a wildebeests. Chambuso was able to get us close enough to get perfect photos. Again our COVID testing was done seemlessly as we were driving from Ngorongoro to Tarangire. There was some concerns as our test results weren’t toon emailed to us until we were within one hour of the border crossing. mr Chambuso walked us through the Tanzania exit immigration desk and Kenya immigration then stayed with us until Mr Opany met us.
Those planning a similar safari should know the most roads in the parks and connecting areas are not paved, they can be very, very rough; muddy when wet; dusty when dry and with the open top some mud and dust makes it into the vehicle. Both Mr Opany and Mr Chambuso are excellent drivers who are familiar with the difficult driving conditions. Although the Land Cruisers we were assigned had age to them they were very serviceable.
In summary, Right Choice Tours and Safaris were the perfect choice for my wife and I. Comparing their prices to others we believe we received the best value for our money. We would not have changed a thing.

Joshua made our trip perfect in every way.
Right Choice Safaris exceeded my expectations in every way. My lifelong dream was to go on Safari and see the variety of wildlife in Kenya. The trip was 10x better than I could have even imagined. I felt very safe and well taken care of. Every need was met along the way. We saw every animal we hoped to see and MORE! I will go back and I will book with this company again.
This is the trip of a lifetime. Make sure you choose a good Safari company. Right Choice and our driver Joshua made our trip perfect.

Hakuna Matata made true
From the time we asked for a price quote on the safari tour up to our final airport drop off to come home, Right Choice was by our side. It included assistance with visa and covid requirements to and from Tanzania, back to Kenya and to Uganda, and of course, Jacob our guide and driver through Masai Mara, Amboseli Park and airport arrivals and departures. Jacob kept us safe, on time, constantly informed and entertained and delivered the “big five” and more like he promised us on our first game drive. We enjoyed Zebra Plains Mara camp for an unforgettable glamping experience in the middle of game and the staff was super nice. Our stay at Kibo safari camp was also wonderful, having a view of Kilimanjaro.
Big thanks to George and his Nairobi staff also for successfully partnering with Raven Safari for our Tanzania tour of Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and Wild Rwanda Safari for our gorilla trekking at Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
Jacob always said Hakuna Matata and it was true for our entire trip. We recommend Right Choice to our family and friends, and to all you out there!

31st Anniversary
Mr. George O planned our 31st anniversary trip from day 1 till the end of our trip. This review is a continuation from a previous review titled "Hakuna Matata Made True" Our accommodations were excellent..Zebra Plains Mara Camp, Serena Hotels at Serengeti, Kibo Safari Camp in Amboseli and Ngorongoro Serena Lodge where we spent our anniversary night (3/9/22). Unbelievable and unforgettable views. And then, we thought that was it...but no. Our gorilla trekking lodge was Bakiga Lodge...an eco lodge ....a beautiful lodge with magnificent views of Bwindi Impenetrable NP.
Thank you Mr. George and to all our guides...Jacob, Chambusa, Patrick and Belinda

Magical Experience
We spent 7 days on a safari with John. He and the experience were amazing I would absolutely recommend and love to go again. The van is better than the jeep as you generally don’t travel off-road, or anywhere the van can’t go. Be prepared for extreme tourist prices from the locals (e.g. $50 USD to take 2 people on a small walk, $70 USD for 2 people to attend a village for 45 mins) this is outside of the tour companies control, however something to be mindful of.
