Undoubtably the best tour operator in Kenya
Right from the first introductory meeting on January 1st (a holiday in most parts of the world), George Oketch, the Director of Right Choice, chose to take the time and arrange a more formal meeting at his office in Central Nairobi. Given the cautionary notes from Lonely Planet, Rough Guide and Eyewitness Travel on selecting a tour operator (for my girlfriend and myself on holiday), we immediately had a comfort factor when we met George. His direct and candid approach in organizing the trip to Nakuru, Naivasha and Mara at the top luxury properties and within our budgets was truly appreciated and unmatched. Our driver/guide, Jacktone, in a superb safari vehicle provided us with an amazing week between 4 National Parks. Jacktone went the extra mile at the game reserves to ensure that we saw enough wildlife to say 'STOP! Now can we just see the birds and enjoy the landscape'. And he made sure that we got on the flight 25 minutes before departure!! Thank you, Right Choice. We will be back and hope everyone can use your services.

Excellent trip to the Maasai Mara
We had a magnificent trip out to the Maasai Mara that was arranged by Right Choice tours. It began with an amazing dinner at the Carnivore restaurant, followed by our drive out to the national reserve from Nairobi. On the way our tour guide, Andrew, gave us amazing insight into the history of Kenya, often pointing out geographic features and historical structures on our drive. He did a wonderful job of combining interesting information with the beautiful Kenyan sights on our initial trek.
Andrew also served as our tour guide on the safari. He worked tirelessly to make sure we had an opportunity to get near the animals of the national reserve, while remaining safe within our vehicles. We were able to see breathtaking views of a mother lion with her two cubs, cheetahs resting under trees, giraffes, elephants and even two black rhinos. Our tour guide did an amazing job of explaining the animals to us and giving us details to the national reserve as we drove through it.
Also the location that was arranged for us to stay at was absolutely amazing, the Stanley Mara. They always had a bonfire going in the evening and the accommodations were perfect for a lodge. On our last night we were even treated to dance with some of the Maasai tribe.
Overall the safari was an amazing experience and we recommend Right Choice as a service to use. Ask for Andrew!

Trustworthy Operator - Great Safari
Though many safari operators offer similar packages in terms of it itineraries, the intangibles really make a difference. If you have a good driver / guide, you'll have a good safari. It helps, of course, to have a fair price, good accommodations and food, and great organization. I'm please to say that my safari with Right Choice exceeded expectations on all counts. If you need a tour operator you can trust to give you a great experience at a fair price, I highly suggest Right Choice.

friendly and working efficient
I just happened to meet George at Right Choice Tour & Safaris in Nairobi. He is an amazing person. He helped my friend and I arrange a 6-day safari for Serengeti and Ngorongoro in Tanzania within one hour, which fits completed both my wish and budget. He also called me after my Safari to follow up if everything was going well. It was a great experience. I strongly recommend this company.

Excellent safari!
We booked 6 days Safari to Kenya visiting Lake Nakuru, Lake Navaisha, Hells Gate and Masai Mara. I must say our experience with Right Choice was incredible. We had an excellent trip in Kenya. George (the owner) was very professional and he offered a very customized itinerary according to our specific needs. You can absolutely trust him and the company for your travel plans. They took care of eveything from the moment they picked us up from the airport up to when they dropped us back for departure.
Our trip wouldn´t have been the same without our driver Jacob, a very kind person and knowledgeable. We strongly suggest you request for him to George when making your trip. His driving and game-spotting skills were incredible, he showed us the best places and we felt very safe all throughout.

Great experience at Right Choice Tours & Safaris
I had my first trip with Right Choice Tours and Safaris in 2012 and promised to you use them again after an excellent tour guiding and drive across Nairobi National Park. This time I decided to go big with my July Holiday at Maasai Mara National Park, and again, I could not resist but score a 5 star service and excellent tour guiding. I can't wait to have my next safari with Right Choice

Memorable experience, highly recommended company
Communication prior to our arrival in Kenya was excellent. George was friendly and prompt with his replies. Once in Kenya, we were fetched on time from our hotel by the driver who was courteous and professional. The 7-day safari itself was well-organized from food, accommodation and game drives, and all the transportation in between. Minor Changes and delays were mostly caused by things beyond the driver's control. Overall, a most memorable experience with a highly-recommended company.

Excellent tour company at great value prices
We had a fantastic 10 day Kenya and Tanzania safari with Right Choice Tours in September 2015. George (the director of the company) was always prompt with his replies and fully answered all our questions throughout the booking processes. He was also able to customise the tour based on our requests and budget.
Tom, our driver/guide on the Kenyan part of the tour was punctual and professional throughout our trip. Right Choice used a partner company (Kili Slopes) for the Tanzanian leg of our tour and our guide, Fadhili, was particularly excellent. Fadhili was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we learnt a lot about the wildlife, people and culture of Tanzania from him. He worked very hard to ensure we had the best possible experience and game viewing on the trip.
Overall, I’d highly recommend Right Choice Tours and Kili Slopes for future bookings.

A dream holiday
After coming across Right Choice Tours & Safaris by accident, we can honestly say that it was one of the best trips that we have ever taken. They were prompt with messages and organised our trip at very short notice. Our guide Jacob Otieno was superb, helping us to both spot the animals and safely drive us from destination to destination. Our trip was made up of Nakuru NP, Lake Niavasha, Maasai Mara NP, Hell's Gate & Amboseli NP. I thouroughly recommend the company and in particular Jacob our guide.

Great Birding Tours
The 18 days tour was excellent and very pleasant. The guide, Tom was an expert for safari and a skillful driver. He did safari, safety first, and solved a couple of car troubles well. He was also flexible for modification of accommodations and our demands. He is not an expert for birding, but followed our stop-and-go instructions very well, and assigned proper local birding guides. The cook, Alan was a very good chef, his cuisine was much better than restaurants and lodges. As a result, we got many bird species, over 300, plus many animals.
Our accommodations were not high class and some of them were modified one day before, but very comfortable. I appreciate George, he arranged a total plan. I think the tour cost was proper. I did recommend this tour company to my friends.
