Not professionel
We have booked 2 safaris, the first was planned with 4 nights and the 2nd with 5 nights (so it was in the mail and was also paid). The first safari went well, we have also seen many animals, the guide really tried hard. On the 2nd safari we were told after the 4th day that tomorrow is the last day. Astonished we said that according to the mail the safari lasts 5 nights and 6 days. Suddenly nobody wanted to know anything about that. After a phone call and SMS to George, he then admitted that there is probably a misunderstanding, he actually meant only 4 nights even if there are 5 nights! Astonished and annoyed, we tried to make it clear to him that we expect 5 nights at this price according to the mail. George does not want to know anything about it and there was also no compensation. The end of the safari was accordingly bad, as we desperately tried to get another accommodation at a reasonable price! Thus, we have now paid an extra night and also the full price - which was for 5 nights. From our point of view, this is pure rip-off. Who books here, must clarify beforehand how many days and nights are included in the booking to avoid nasty surprises. We do not recommend this tour operator

Absolute incredible experience!! Amazing service and our guide Apollo was incredible!!
From the start of our booking process for our honeymoon trip to the masai mara for a safari George and his team were incredible!! We had a slight hiccup with the airlines as the airline itself leaving Nairobi was very non communicative regarding our flight (the airport is small and not modern) a quick call to George and the airline attendants literally came running to guide us to our private flight to the Mara!! Upon arrival our guide Apollo was waiting for us and while driving to our camp Entim he got word of a lion pride killing a buffalo!! We raced over and got to witness an incredible sight of a pride eating a buffalo!! This was just the start of what Apollo found for us over the next 4 days! Once we arrived to the camp we were blown away by how incredibly luxurious the camp, the staff, and the food was!! To say we were spoiled is an understatement!! 4 course meals with options at every meal!! Unlimited wine, beer, and well drinks were flowing!! We fell in love with the Kenyan national cocktail the Dawa!! Vodka, local honey and lime!! The luxury tents were so peaceful and spacious and we feel asleep every night to the sounds of hippos grazing outside our tent!! The local Masaai tribesmen walked us to our tents every night because you are staying in a game preserve!! We saw all of the Big 5 and so much more!! We opted to fly to Diani beach to continue our honeymoon and they accommodated that as well!! Highly recommend this tour company!!!

Amazing experience with a truly great guide/driver!
Our driver Ken was a phenomenal guide, and made our trip very special.
He was good humoured, very knowledgeable and helpful, and always put our safety first while going out of his way to make sure we saw the wildlife we wanted to see. Ken was an excellent driver and we felt comfortable in the well kitted-out Toyota jeep.
The Right Choice safari tour was very well organised. Pick up from our hotel in Nairobi was very straightforward and all the accommodation on safari was to a good standard.
We would recommend the tour to those looking to go on a longer safari, but be aware – lots of early mornings!
Thanks for a wonderful trip! Naomi and John

Right Choise is really the right choice!
The whole experience with Right Choise was amazing! Whoever books a service remotely is always afraid that something will not go well but Right Choise fulfilled everything that was agreed! We met Paul who picked us up at the airport, George's sister and Joshua! All three were incredible, but we have to highlight Joshua who was our guide during the whole Safari and, in our opinion, the best in the world! He gave us an incredible experience! Besides being an experienced professional, his friendliness and knowledge about all animals was decisive! Joshua really made an effort to show us all the animals and with him we could see all the Big 5 on the very first day in the Masai Mara.
The hotels proposed by Right Choise were also wonderful! Entire Mara at the Masai Mara and The Cliff at Lake Nakuru were a bonus that made our trip even more special! Impeccable service, quality meals, and a pleasure in helping the customer!
We couldn't ask for more about these days! At the end of the Safari, George had the polite and very kind gesture to contact us to find out our opinion about the experience and wish us a good trip. With Right Choise the experience will be truly unforgettable !

Tour guide was excellent but be prepared to pay more in Kenya
Overall the tour was very good, our tour guide Jacob knew the Masai Mara like the back of his hand and found us more wildlife than we could have imagined possible.
The only thing that lets the tour down slightly is what you get for the price compared to other safaris in countries like South Africa. I’ve done a lot of safaris and it was more than twice the price in Kenya so you kind of expect somethings to be better - our hotel was amazing but the beds were not particularly comfortable and our lunch that was included on the last day wasn’t actually at our nice hotel it was just on the way home somewhere which wasn’t great. We would have also liked to see a bit more of the Mara Triangle rather than just the bit of park we were in as we had 3 nights, so maybe next time we will ensure the hotel is in that area.
also our car broke down a few times and especially for photography it would have been nice to have a different style - eg open sides etc. This is down the the tour operator not our driver.
As I said, for wildlife and seeing what we wanted Jacob overdelivered. His knowledge was amazing, knew how to position the vehicle perfectly for photos and he showed us so many big cats we couldn’t keep count.
I would give Jacob our driver above a 5/5 but the few other points I’ve made are something right choice can improve on going forwards.
Little things and it was almost perfect.

Helpful and friendly
Travel agency is very Co operative and friendly.
From airport to airport drop they provided services.
Nairobi hotel stay in Best Western Meridian was very good. Local Travel and local guide were ok.
Travel in Land Cruiser to Masai Mara was very good. Stay in Simba lodge there was good, rooms were very good, vegetarian food there was good, but they don't provide drinking water in breakfast lunch and dinner and you have to buy drinking water, that's bad. In rooms also they provide half litre bottle per person per day, additional you have to buy. Hotel staff and driver were friendly and helpful.

A wonderful experience
We had Apollo for our driver and he was excellent at making sure we saw the best of everything at the Masai Mara. He also provided great information on the drive to and from Nairobi. I would highly recommend this company. We plan to use them again on future trips

simply - EXCELLENT
It was wonderful days with friends and our dear guide George. The Right Choice company was perfect at every step.
It was very easy to communicate with this company that I rate it EXTREME CONFIDENCE, the ease with which they answered questions was phenomenal... they were tireless in the emails to clear all doubts until we concluded the deal in a smooth way. They are completely trustworthy and ethical.
As for our guide who quickly went from being a guide to being a friend, I rate George as the best Safari guide in Kenya.
His dedication and commitment to showing us the animals was the envy of others, who ended up following us. Respectful and affectionate did everything to make this experience the best. I can't get enough to say that George was really nice and understanding, when we needed anything he was always willing to do it, which helped to make our experience even more unforgettable. He showed great professionalism and empathy, which turned a good service into a phenomenal one. That's why we want to commend your work.
As for the Kenyan people, their people are friendly, caring and hospitable. Best trip I've ever taken (and as promised to George, in 2024 we'll be back)
