Excellent experience
We are very happy about our experience with Right Choice. They were always very prompt with their communication and provided me with all the options that I asked for. Even though I booked 6 months in advance, everything was provided as per their commitments.
Our guide and Driver was Ken. In spite of long journeys through difficult roads, he put his 100 percent efforts to ensure that our safari experience is outstanding. He was always on time and very cordial.
The accommodations provided were very very good. Overall, it is a hassle free, memorable experience.

Excellent holiday planned and tailor-made for us by rightchoicesafaris.com
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...

An amazing 4 days safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha thanks to Rite Choice!
Right Choice was indeed the right choice made by us and they lived upto their commitments. The guide cum driver Jacob was well experienced and we had a great time thanks to his sincere efforts in ensuring that we sight all the animals at very close quarters!! The van was comfortable and in good condition and had a wireless communication set which enabled Jacob to be in constant touch with his friends which helped us not only in sighting the big budget animals but also in getting quick assistance to pull our van out of mud and sludge (got stuck twice on day 2 due to overnight rains). The accommodations provided were good and in line with the reviews. Most important, all of us were vegetarians and they managed to ensure decent vegetarian food for us on all the days.
A brief write up of the tour is given below which will give an idea of our great safari:
Amazing AFRICA - Masai Mara, Nakuru Park & Lake Naivasha
It was overall a wonderful and exhilarating experience! It was one of our dream trip and if you are in Africa - do not miss the Masai Mara! We were a family of 5 adults and booked a 4 day safari with Rite Choice Tours and Safaris with a safari van to ourselves. Our driver and guide Jacob was amazing. He was well connected with all the other tour guides through a wireless communication set in the van and ensured that we got to witness all the majestic animals in the park.
We arrived in Nairobi the previous day AN and checked into a budget hotel Khweza Bed & Breakfast which was a decent value for money hotel with a good breakfast in the terrace. The first day of Safari started early next morning when our guide cum driver Jacob picked us up at the hotel and after a brief stopover at Right Choice office, we were on our way to Masai Mara which we reached around 4 pm and checked into Explore Nature Mara Lodge. The last 2-3 hours were on rough uneven tracks and will be more than a challenge if you have fitness issues. We were welcomed with a traditional Masai tribal dance at the resort and after a quick refreshment, immediately started off for the EN safari. The entrance to the Reserve was about 20-30 minutes from our resort accommodation. We had around 1 ½ hours of safari and within that time, lucky to see a couple of lionesses and a lion besides gazelles, wild beasts, zebra, etc. It started raining towards the end and we returned back to our accommodation by 7 pm and retired early to bed. The resort cottages were set in natural surroundings and was decent and comfortable with very helpful staff.
The second day was a full day Safari and we started early by 6.30 am with packed lunch. We were lucky to see at very close quarters lions, lionesses, cheetah, wildebeest, buffalos, elephants, giraffes and leopard - out of which seeing the leopard was one of the thrilling part of the trip. After hours of searching for the well hidden leopard, our driver suddenly got a call and informed us that we are in for surprise. When we reached the spot, we were totally in awe of the leopard neatly perched on a branch of a tree taking rest. The opening at the top of the van provided us a real close and clear view of the animals which we spotted right next to our van. We went to the border with Tanzania where the Serengeti Reserve starts and spent time at the river site where the famous crossings take place during Summer. We had long shot views of hippos and crocodiles and had our packed lunch and then back to looking around for more animals. Having seen 4 of the BIG 5 (except Rhino) in the same day, we concluded a very satisfying day’s trip and retired back to our resort for the night.
The third day we took leave of the wonderful staff at Explore Nature Mara Lodge and after breakfast proceeded to Naivasha Lake. However due to rains we could not take the boat ride at Naivasha Lake and after spending some time in the nice natural surroundings at the Lake site, proceeded to Nakuru where we checked into a budget Hotel CityMax for the overnight stay.
The fourth day started early at 7 am and our driver had promised that we would definitely be able to spot the Rhino in Nakuru Park and spot we did early into our ride in Nakuru Park. We saw the rhino and its baby cross the road right in front of our van giving us a close up view and concluded the last of the BIG 5 sightings. We also saw giraffes, wild buffaloes, antelopes, zebras, a variety of birds and also sighted a lone lioness which looked like she was going to hunt but did not materialize. After a half day nice safari at Nakuru Park, we proceed straight to Lake Naivasha for the boat ride which we missed the previous day. Lake Naivasha is the only fresh water lake on the floor of the rift valley, and just 1 1/2hr from Nairobi. It was exciting to sit back and relax on the boat for one hour while admiring such a beautiful scenario, contemplating so many hippos, birds and other wildlife. We were able to spot hordes of hippos, a few crocs, vultures, birds and their nesting trees. We also spent some time enjoying the natural atmosphere in Naivasah Lake site and then got dropped at the airport in the EN rounding off a very satisfying and enjoyable safari trip ever, successfully covering the BIG 5 and much more that Kenya had to offer. I would not hesitate to recommend Rite Choice Tours and Safaris who have custom made safari trips to suit your budgets. – A Truly amazing experience!

"RIGHTCHOICE" - THE BEST TOUR OPERATOR TO PROVIDE YOU A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE IN KENYA.
We (Family of 3) just completed our trip to Kenya - 3 nights masai mara, 1 night Amboselli, 1 night lake nakuru & 1 night lake naivasha and we have selected Right Choice to arrange everything. Though I have traveled a lot around the globe many times, but I must say that this experience is a lifetime experience.
To start with, I have taken quotation from 7 operators and then I have shortlisted 3 operators out of them. The price range varies from 1 operator to other is around 1-2k USD with same hotel selection and itinerary and I was bit confused on selection. But after a detailed interaction with George, I was fully convinced and selected Right Choice.
As this is our first time tour in Africa, I was bit cautious in Hotel selection. George is amazing in doing detail planning for us and consider every request starting with night game drive to on the way lunch.
We stayed in keekrok lodge & Base Wilderness camp in masai Mara, Sopa lodge in Lake Nakuru & Oi Tukai in Amboselli. We have our dedicated 4 x4 landcrusier all the time though we have done Masai mara game drive from the lodge. To add further, we have seen 4 live hunting by cheetah, lion, leopard and during migration and that adds a spice in our experience.
Some tips:
1> Stay always within park and not conservancy
2> have sufficient water and a good binocular with you
3> Take your own time and never rush
4> Do not worry on food as all good hotels have sufficient variation of food. Out of that BaseCamp, lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge & Oi Tukai are the best in taste and food selection.
George from RightChoice is outstanding and he has supported us with every detail whenever there is a change in schedule, airport pick up, arranging good car and driver , communication to hotel etc. The quotation is the cheapest among all others though the service is 5 star. Thank u George and team for a nice experience.

One amazing experience!
Due to a cancellation of our previously booked Safari one week before departure, we were scrambling to find a replacement tour. Right Choice was one of the companies we contacted. Of these companies, Right Choice seemed to be most accommodating to our requests. George was able to quickly put together a tour that had the itinerary we wanted. The accommodations he booked were a bit better than the previous tour, and thus the Safari was more, but not unreasonable. In the end, after a day on bumpy roads, it’s nice to come back to a place where you are comfortable and the food is very good. Most of the accommodations were right in the parks so you were able to see animals from the lodges.
Our drivers, Bonny in Kenya, and Ziggy in Tanzania were both excellent. They had keen eyes and great knowledge of the animals, birds and even some of the plants we inquired about. I’m not sure how many guests are as interested in the smaller birds, as I was, but we not only stopped for many, but they were also quickly identified.
Our Safari started in Lake Nakuru. On our first day we saw lions, giraffes, flamingos and many other birds, vervet monkeys, baboons, zebras (they are everywhere), impalas, gazelles, Cape buffalo, and most impressive, a mama and baby white rhino. We left for the Masai Mara on the second day. Here we completed the big 5 with a leopard and elephants. We also saw cheetah and wildebeest, a black rhino, hyena, hippos, crocs, ostriches and many other types of antelope. Leaving the Masai Mara on our way to the Serengeti, we passed thru what seemed to be the last of the Great Migration. Tens of thousands of wildebeest gathered together, plus a line of them marching as far as the eye could see in the direction of the Mara River. Didn’t get to witness them crossing the river though.
At the border, we changed drivers. We told our new driver that he had his work cut out for him as we had seen so many varieties of animals. We got to the Serengeti and it seemed to have way fewer numbers than Masai Mara...time of year maybe? But, here Ziggy worked his magic and we got to see the carnivores. Here we learned to sit and wait for things to happen.
From there it was in to Ngorongoro Crater, a very interesting self contained eco system. It’s small, but you still get a good variety of wildlife, and there are forests as well as open savannah, plus the water areas.
Next stop was Tarangire. A bit more water here, chance to see elephants bathing and more animals going for drinks....could there be a lion hiding? We had our first “luxury” tented camp here, and we were spoiled indeed!
Our last Safari stop was at Amboseli, back in Kenya, where we were reunited with Bonny. It was nice that we had him for our whole Kenya trip, even if the time was divided. Amboseli is home to the elephants, and one evening we saw more than 70 making their way to the water. There’s a good sized lake here. We got very close to flamingos. You are able to see Mt. Kilimanjaro, if the clouds part. They did one morning, and it was a beautiful sight. There is also a very good chance to see hyena groups...we had only seen singles up until this park.
We had also arranged a 3 day stay at Diani Beach, near Mombasa, to relax after the Safari. It’s a nice way to finish the trip.
All in all, we were very happy with our choice. Given the panic we were in to rearrange something, it was wonderful to be accommodated in our wishes instead of us having to just settle for a Safari because we needed to. George and company gave us a great experience. Every day brought something new, just when you thought you had seen it all. George even talked with us personally a couple of times during the Safari to insure all was going well. We are very happy we decided to go with their company. It was the Right Choice.

Helpfull, flexible and good value for the money.
Good continous communication from George.
Ken was an excellent driver and very knowledgable guide in the Masai Mara National park.
We stayed at the Explore Mara nature lodge which was a very nice experience. We wanted to have a more true Kenyan experience, less of the feeling of a "hotel chain " experience. Good kenyan food, Clean "tent", very local decoration. Much more interesting than other lodges I've been staying at.
Well Worth a Try!!

Amazing
Our experience started with very prompt and helpful emails from George whenever we contacted him. He made the booking as easy as possible. When we got to Nairobi we were greeted by Ken and spent our whole 5 days with him. He made his best to meet our expectations and try to spot all the animals we wanted. He was approachable, patient, respectful of our needs and wants and even friendlier as days went by.
Nairobi was an amazing destination but the whole experience wouldnt have been the same without such amazing tour operator. We highly recommend them and thank them for the best family vacay!!

Joe Mouti was amazing
Tour was awesome. Joe the tour guide did an outstanding job. He knows how to navigate the safari. His knowledge was instrumental in us seeing the BIG 5. We have some really nice view of the animals and he shed light on ones we did not know. The experience is one I will not forget.
