Great trip with Great Service!
We had a great time on our 11 day safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Right Choice was great to work with and I will happily book with them again in the future.

Amazing family vacation, I will book again!
We returned home last week from one of the most amazing family trips ever! Beyond our expectations: the locations, animals, local people and food/lodging. I was traveling with my wife, 2 teenage kids, plus my mother and her boyfriend, both in their 70's.
It was hard deciding on a Safari company, this trip was not prompted by a friend’s recommendation, but the idea ‘we don’t know anyone who has been on Safari’. I enjoyed communication with George, his responses felt like more than work. Our itinerary included: Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater & Zanzibar.
We could not be more pleased with our Kenyan guide/driver: Opany. He was an amazing personality to spend time with and had incredible local knowledge. It's not just what he says, but all that you see Opany doing that adds to your trip: attentive driving, scanning the horizon for animals, talking on the radio and in-person with other guides, help with lost luggage, regularly checking in on his clients well being.
The next section of our trip in Tanzania was great, but not as good as Kenya. Tanzania was beautiful, but crowded, we were shocked how many Land Cruisers would be gathered around a few animals. Next trip to Africa we will skip Tanzania and focus on Kenya and maybe someplace new too.

Amazing bucket list safari experience!!
We absolutely loved our 15 day Kenya, Tanzania, & Zanzibar holiday booked through Right Choice! It was so hard to sift through all the tour companies and options out there, but not only did the itinerary work so well for us, but the value was awesome and it was actually how good the trip advisor reviews were that sold me! Our Kenya guide, Jacob, was so knowledgable and helpful! He honestly made our trip and safari!! The owner, George, was very quick to respond to our emails and requests.
At the Kenya/Tanzania border we were met by another company, Raven Safaris, who is partners with Right Choice to complete the Tanzania portion of the safari. Our guide, Rajabu, was fabulous as well!
A few things to note for to future travelers:
1. We didn't know we'd have the whole safari car to ourselves the entire time, we just thought the transfers between the spots were private but we would be in a group setting for the game drives -- this is not the case! You have a private vehicle for the duration of your trip! We only packed soft duffles and backpacks because that was what all the blog posts said, but since we had much more room we could have saved our backs a bit and done wheeled luggage. The flight from Arusha to Zanzibar also didn't care about wheeled luggage.
2. You have the same guide everyday you are in Kenya and different guide for your whole portion in Tanzania (not including Zanzibar). This was actually really nice to have the same person with us for multiple days, we weren't sure if we were going to have different people in each location when we booked!
3. A lot of blog posts warned us about tsetse flies and only wearing neutral earth colored clothing -- tsetse flies were only in Tanzania (not a thing around Kenya I guess) and we really didn't need to buy as much neutral safari clothing as we did.
Overall my husband and I highly recommend this trip - it was truly a once in a lifetime experience for us and we are so thankful to Right Choice & Raven Safaris for making it such a pleasurable experience!

Great tour operator. Fantastic communication, planning and co-ordination. We loved it!
Brilliant value for money.
A first class tour which was well organised and carried out. We hit a couple of bumps along the road, but Right Choice answered the emails and calls and fixed things quickly. Fabulous team and well organised tour.
The guide was very knowledgable and was always checking we were happy and getting the experience we dreamed of.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure
Found Director George to be most prompt & helpful with all enquiries regarding our safari.
We visited Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with Michael who was very informative and obliging, showing us the best of both parks before handing us over to Raj at the Tanzanian border.
The border procedure was seamless thanks to Michael and Raj.
The Serengeti National Park was the highlight of our safari, thanks to Raj
We really enjoyed the Ngorongoro crater, it was an amazing sight, and our night at Rhino Lodge was full of old world charm and unforgettable.
We were handed to George at the Kenyan border for a tour of the Amboseli National Park.
All in all an amazing safari, that we will remember forever, thanks to some great organization and very comfortable accommodation.
Thank you Director George.

Very good option value for money
Service is very good and the owner George is always responding to your questions via chat. That service is invaluable. Their drivers are extremely knowledgeable and nice. Ezequiel and Joshua were amazing. Specially Ezequiel in Tanzania was friendly, nice to the kids, funny and accommodating with a great attitude. In Kenya they are great and have all under control. In Tanzania sometimes you have some issues because they have less control over who picks you at the airport and things like that but they are open to reimburse you for those issues.

Very reliable and meticulous
I was traveling with my parents, in laws and kids. The trip required customization for this age span. George from Right choice was always quickly available to answer al my questions and provide helpful suggestions. The communication was prompt and meticulous. Ken, the driver and safari guide was very knowledgeable and always tried to keep the requests by going out of his way. We opted for the luxury option and we always stayed inside the parks and the food and lodging was great We never felt that the value for money was low, and at the end all members were extremely satisfied. I want to come back in so e years and if so will want to go through Rightchoice.

Dedicated, committed and a true professionals
It took many weeks trying to find a reputable tour company for our next visit to Africa, we had already visited in 2014 and were keen to get the same experience if not better than our first trip. The companies were shortlisted to 2, one of which was Right Choice Safaris managed by George. In the end Right Choice were chosen because of the variety of reserves and camps we would visit and the cost. The safari went to plan, we had a fantastic experience and I took over 4000 photo's. We saw all the animals that we planned including the Big 5.

Very thoughtfull and accomodating.
Hakuna Matata. My family and I travelled last July to Tanzania and Kenia for a 15 day National Park safaris. (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengetti, Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli).
Everything worked out very well, George was making sure everything was ok continously.
Most of the hotels were very nice and food was great.
It was a good value for your money trip, however, crossing the border from Tanzania to Kenia by Jeep was too long and tiring, would look for other options.
Apparently, soon there might be a crossborder cooperation between both countries that would help tourism between countries greatly.
Ezequiel driver in Tanzania was amazing, cheerfull and accomodating.

Excellent experience.
I traveled with my mom for the third time with Right Choice Safari. We felt safe and taken care of throughout our private guided trip. The owner of the company, George, ensured that all of our needs were met and we felt happy and safe.
We stayed about 2 weeks in Masai Mara this time. Our tour guide was Lenana. He was professional and knowledgeable about wildlife and its locations. I am a photographer hobbyist and am always hoping to take creative photos. Lenana was very perceptive and knowledgeable about photography. He did his best to ensure that I took photos that I was looking for.
The lodges we stayed at were great: friendly staff, delicious food and comfortable accommodation.
I highly recommend Right Choice Safari. This company provides high-quality service for travelers.
