Trustworthy, responsive and patient.
I selected Right Choice because of the great reviews and pricing. They did not disappoint ... Millicent was patient and accommodating when emailing back & forth for our perfect 9 day safari with our new friend & guide, Joshua. She worked with me for the best accommodations within the budget I had set. We traveled to Amboseli, Tsavo East and West and they included the train to our next destination in Diani beach (that was not booked through them). When there was one miscommunication with our final travel to the Diani resort, she righted it by taking care of our ride back at the end of our beach stay. Excellent service and I look forward to working with them on our next trip. Joshua was the best!
Btw, no need to worry about wire transfer for payment, all went smoothly. A+

Unforgettable Experience!!
To begin with, We had no real expectation when we'd decide holiday to Africa; so it was one of those trips we prepared ourselves not to be surprised if it turned out to be an Average holiday! Well we were pleasantly Surprised to say the least - Kenya is Beautiful, Clean and the most Friendliest and Polite people on the planet.
To top it all, we gave the entire Safari tour of 7 days to "Right Choice Tours and Safaris " and must say they stayed true to the word and the Brand Name - Certainly was the "Right Choice" .. We had a fantastic and importantly a Safe Trip!! The family was amazed by the professionalism offered by this Tour Group and the Tour Guide and Driver Jacob was a true gentleman who was well read.. Right Choice Tours and Safaris is a Family tour guide .. Wonderful People.. Mr. George Oketch Director of the Tour Company was an experienced professional and man of his word! We had such an amazing experience that we would like to return to Kenya.. We've traveled across the Globe but Must say Kenya does holds a special place. We truely recommend if you're thinking Safari and a Holiday in Kenya - then think Right Choice Tours and Safaris..
We would like to take this opportunity to wish Right Choice Tours and Safaris the very best and keep up the good work!

Perfect Safari Holiday in Kenya
We spent 8 nights at Kenya (Samburu, Sweetwaters, Nakuru, Masai Mara, Nairobi) with Right Choice Tours & Safaris. It was our first safari holiday.
After making long correspondences with more than 7 local and international tour operators; we decided to work with Right Choice Tours & Safaris.
George swiftly answered all of our questions and accepted almost all of our requests regarding the schedule of our tour. He was very kind, knowledgeable and professional. We requested fee quotes from different travel agencies for the same tour program (i.e. exactly same hotels, same vehicle type etc.); the best fee quote was proposed by Right Choice Tours & Safaris.
We were really excited when our plane has landed to Kenya; because everybody told us that the most important part for the success of a safari holiday was the guide. A kind lady from George’s team welcomed us at the airport and introduced us to our beloved guide, Opany who became our best friend in Kenya!
Among other things, Opany was very knowledgeable, professional, patient, helpful, intelligent, friendly, and funny and he was a perfect driver. Most importantly, he was really trustful and this is a very important specialty as you do not have anybody else to rely on in the middle of the wilderness of Kenya. Although he is making this job for more than 20 years, he shared our excitement in our first safari experience. He is an expert in finding animals and also he gives great information about the animals. He accommodated all of requests and made many great suggestions during the holiday. We feel really lucky to meet someone like Opany.
During our holiday, we did not face with any issues. Everything was very organized.
We believe that finding the right tour operator is very important for a safari holiday; because a bad operator or an unprofessional guide can easily ruin your holiday. We really worked hard to find the right tour operator in this respect and we were really lucky about our guide. We definitely recommend Right Choice Tours & Safaris. We are sure that their other guides are good as well; but we believe you should definitely push George in order for him to assign Opany for your tour if possible.
Thank George and Opany for the beautiful holiday that you realized for us. Hope to see you again soon!

5 star safari experience with superb tour guide and drivers
It definitely meet our high expectations, from the planning, logistic, timely communication, game drive, route, lounge accommodation, to our 5 star drivers, Joe and John, these two gentlemen gave us absolutely amazing care, supporting, knowledge, most of all, warm heart services. Without their day in and day out help, our trip would not be perfect!
When you book your next trip, please make sure you ask Joe as your driver in Kenya and John in Tanzania!
A huge thanks to the entire Right Choice Team!

Right choice must be your right choice！！！！！
We would like to thank Right Choice for everything they did for our trip. Initially, we chose the right choice based on the recommendation of our colleagues and started our trip. While in the Masai Mara, we encountered a major flood and our starting camp was washed away. The boss George actively helped us arrange our trip that was disrupted by the flood. And helped us upgrade to a better campsite. It also extended our stay for a day. Let us have enough time to experience the nature of Kenya. This was a perfect and unforgettable trip. And I especially want to thank George for helping us arrange guide Opany. He is extremely sincere, calm and makes people feel reliable. Even during the flood, he actually helped us contact a helicopter to take us across the river. It's incredible. He is also very humorous and can say the names of animals in Chinese. I'm starting to miss Opany.
In short, choosing the right choice will definitely be your right choice

Amazing
We had a wonderful experience with Right Choice. Opine, our tour guide was an amazing person, who knows his way around the reserve and strived to show us the big 7. The enterim camp was also a truly out of the world experience. We really enjoyed the trip and would definitely recommend Right Choice to our friends n family.

An amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Fantastic experience! My wife and I reviewed many available options and ultimately decided on the "12 Day Incredible Kenya & Tanzania combined wildlife safari."
We took it as a private tour (just the two of us and our guide), and it was a home run.
Throughout the trip, we visited Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, Tarangire, and Amboseli parks and saw Rhinos, Giraffes, Zebras, Pumbas, Hippos, Gazelles, Lions, Cheetahs, Ostriches, Buffaloes, Leopards, Baboons, Elands, Elephants, Hyenas, Vervet Monkeys, and even a Monitor Lizard. We literally saw everything we had hoped to see and many things numerous times.
While we were in Kenya, Jacob was our guide, and he was awesome. He met us at the airport, took us to our nearby hotel for a day of rest (much needed after the long flights), and was with us throughout our time, providing insight, background, and information about the parks and animals. When we did not understand something, he clarified it in terms that we understood. Additionally, he is highly skilled at driving through the rough terrain of the parks (lots of soft, deep mud), so we never lost time due to being stuck in the mud, like many others did.
When we got to the Tanzania border, we met up with George, who took care of us during our times in the parks there. Like Jacob, he was a skilled driver and had a knack for finding the elusive animals (including the Leopard).
Both George and Jacob spoke English well, and they were there with us at each border crossing (from Kenya to Tanzania, then back to Kenya) to make sure things went smoothly. (Note: make sure you have your yellow International Vaccine Card that shows you've been vaccinated for Yellow Fever.)
For accommodations, we stayed in luxury tents (except the first hotel and the Rhino Lodge atop the rim of Ngorongoro Crater), and the tents were all comfortable with contained bathrooms that had hot/cold water. The tents ARE in the parks, so wildlife is all around, in a few, travel to/from your tents is only authorized with a Maasai warrior as your escort (they're awesome).
As a general comment, I'll say you should be prepared to be tired at the end of each day. This was a surprise to me, but something about the bouncing around in the safari vehicle all day is just tiring. Sounds ridiculous, but it's true.
Overall, the safari was pretty close to perfect. I cannot think of anything I'd change, and I hope to do it again in the future!

Great safari trip
My brother and I had a great safari trip. Right Choice were very communicative and helpful from the start. Although we did have a small issue with the hotel check in in Nairobi, this was the hotel's fault and was quickly resolved. During the safari itself, I got food poisoning at one of the lodge's and Right Choice were kind enough to move the itinerary around and let us stay a further night at a different lodge and didn't charge anything more for this. Much appreciated! Our guide Smart was super good at finding all of the animals we wanted and drove around like a champion.. seeing a leopard was the highlight and absolutely incredible! My only wish was that we could communicate a little better in English.

Wonderful Kenya/Tanzania Safari
We were very happy with our safari experience with Right Choice Tours & Safaris. When making arrangements, George provided detailed responses to my questions and tailored our arrangements to what we wanted. Ken, our safari guide/driver in Kenya, did a great job in getting us close to the wildlife which facilitated us getting wonderful photos. Right Choice used Raven Safaris in Tanzania and Rajabu, our Tanzanian guide/driver was excellent; not only was he a very competent driver, he was extremely knowledgeable and readily shared his vast knowledge which enhanced our wildlife viewing experience. Rajabu even made sure we each had a new water bottle each morning. The safari jeeps had pop-up roofs and my husband and I had a private tour which allowed us to see the wildlife well. In addition to the game drives, we visited a Masai village in Kenya, did a cultural tour in Tanzania and ended our holiday in Zanzibar where we did a tour of Stone Town, a spice farm tour and went to a beach resort. Right Choice helped to make our Kenya/Tanzanian holiday a fabulous experience.
