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.

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 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.

Our tour operator was fantastic. He always responded to us within 10 hours.
We had a fantastic time. Our guide (Apollo) worked very very hard to make sure that we saw everything that we could. He was very good at predicting what the animals were going to do next and put our jeep in perfect position to be ready for everything. We had some very challenging animals that we wanted to find (we were trying to find as many different antelope as possible) and he worked hard to help us find them. We loved the places that we stayed in and I can honestly say that this safari met and exceeded all our expectations. I will definitely use them again if I can ever do this again.

Amazing service and organization
Great service, they organized the safari for our honeymoon! Our driver Joshua was super nice with a lot of knowledge of all the animals and places always available to go wherever we ask for, we passed in lake naivasha, lake nakuru and masai mara .. a total of 5 days, staying in lodges and luxury camps inside the parks .. recommended 100%

His name was Jacob and he was superb , the best tour guide ever . He was polite , patient , informed
We as a family of 4 , mum , Dad & 2 adult children took a 17 days trip to east Africa , starting off in Nairobi and planned a safari to Masaei Mari , out of Nairobi . We are from Dublin , Ireland . My work colleague in Dublin had worked in Nairobi and recommended Right Choice Tours & Safaris so we booked with them . On commencement we were greeted by a wonderful guide called Jacob who we spent almost 2 days with for the trip . He engaged totally with us and he became a “ friend “ during the time we spent with him and we still keep in touch with him . He was very engaging , informed , extremely polite and courteous and we would highly recommend the company for a safari and Jacob as a guide if you are lucky enough to get him !!
Overall Amazing Experience
Honestly, I do not know where to start.
We worked with George while planning this experience. He was absolutely amazing. We had so many questions and he answered everything efficiently. Even while out on our adventure, George checked in with us.
Our first tour guide in Kenya was Joshua. Joshua was extremely knowledgeable about ALL the wildlife. We saw the Big 5 within the first two days. He was very commutative with other tour guides on the radio and knew exactly where to go so we could see everything. You can really tell he takes pride in his work and wanted us to have a great experience.
Next we went to Tanzania ( this is a bit tricky, but all do to the government officials and has nothing to do with Right Choice. Just be prepared to pay $100 in cash to cross.)
We had Steve as our Tour Guide on this side of the border. Steve was great as well. It was nice because Joshua and Steve were so amazing in very different ways. Steve was very funny and enthusiastic. He also made sure we got to see all the animals!! He danced and sang with us and told us a lot about the culture as well.
We then headed back to Kenya, you may get a third tour guide. We got Joshua back and we’re very happy about that. I left a pair of sunglasses in his Jeep and he held onto them for me. It was such a nice gesture and I really appreciated it.
The tour guides are such a huge part of this experience. Be sure you listen to them and treat them well. By that I mean, be nice and tip generously. $$$$$
Thank you so much Right Choice Tours, you really made this trip a great experience for all four of us.

George was very hospitable and an excellent/safe driver.
This is your sign to book the safari with Right Choice!
Communication was quick and easy.
Service from the driver to the staff at the lodge were amazing.
The value is unbeatable for the food, accomadations, and overall experience - so worth it!
Now the safari itself... we saw the big 5 and then some. It was probably the single most amazing experience I've had in my life and I've traveled a lot.
10/10 recommend.

Very helpful
George initially planned our whole itinerary around 2k dollars under the budget I gave which was amazing but after deciding together from his suggestions of accommodation since tis was our honeymoon we went up to our budget. We were well looked after, just wish we had an open jeep. Very smooth travels from George's great planning & Joshua was a great driver, he really has skills & we had fun. Deffo value for money since they can accommodate different budgets, totally reliable. Great communication with George & Joshua. I wish we had been guided to something more luxurious in Lake Naivasha & Diani beach. We booked the places I had mentioned but it would have been nice to get some suggestions for something nicer for honeymooners but either way we would book again though right choice! And we would reccomend them also.
