Great price without compromising on the quality of service
Right choice definitely gave me the best pricing compared to a lot of others and without compromising on service.
George, Manager, was amazing. Extremely nice, helpful and accommodating.
Albert the driver was very patient, knowledgeable and experienced... we couldnt have asked for
better people.
The entire safari was planned meticulously and we had absolutely no reason to complain about anything whatsoever.
Would definitely recommend without hesitation.

Wild Africa
We had a great time in safari! James was professional, trying to do his best to comfort us. We have seen a variety of wild animals thanks to him. And also matira lodge was satisfied, well-equiped accomodation with fine meals. Thanks for this great opportunity to travel wild africa. We really enjoyed this trip :)

Highly recommend Right Choice for a wide range of Kenyan adventures
Right Choice did a great job coordinating a complex itinerary for us in Kenya, and get my highest recommendation.
We booked three separate tours with Right Choice. All three of the guides were excellent and made our experience special:
– Moses took us on a 1-day tour of Nairobi, giving us an insider's look at the capital including Kibera.
– George took us on a 6-day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli – pointing out animals we wouldn't have seen on our own and making sure we got every last photo we wanted.
– Julius took us on a 3-day summit of Mt Kenya, making a challenging hike fun while explaining a unique ecosystem.
Pickups before and between tours were seamless. Communication was good throughout – they kept meticulous records of our itinerary and answered questions promptly (shoutout to Millicent in the front office).
There were little touches throughout that really made our lives easier, like letting us store bags in the front office in between our safari and mountain summit so we wouldn't have to carry luggage to the top of a 5000m mountain. George (the owner) even personally met us at our hotel at the end to return them.
A bit of advice: for whatever tour(s) you're considering make sure you're clear on each day's itinerary because distances between parks can be substantial. It was a worthwhile tradeoff for to me in order to see more parks and ultimately more of Kenya, but the days in the van can be long.
Overall, Right Choice delivered on the trip of a lifetime and I'd recommend them for anyone thinking of Kenya.

A one in a lifetime trip that went as smoothly as was to be expected
George from Right Choice was excellent in his timely communication with thorough answers. Absolutely no complaints there. The service was professional and competent. Our tour driver Kamal was a lovely and knowledgable guy who achieved everything we set out to see. We saw everything! Even when we didn't see Rhinos in Lake Nakuru (which everyone said was highly likely) we added another park at the end to fill in this missing gap. We couldn't have asked for more in this regard. The tour itself was the classic 8-day tour including Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage (which we highly recommend). We ended up adding Nairobi NP at the end. Kamal managed to get us to everything on time and gave us the maximum possible safari experience. No technical question about the animals and the country went unanswered. Overall, we are extremely happy with the tour and would have no hesitation recommending Right Choice Safaris to anyone. You will be in safe hands!
The Safari Tour that I am looking for
We booked The right choice few months before we arrive Kenya, all the questions and information we need were answered very quickly. Then we have issue with Kenya Airways about their flight cancellation and missing luggages. But George and his staff step out of office to arrange the private charter and all nescessary things to make us catching up with our original itinerary. We can't thank them enough. The tour guide was amazing in Maasai Mara, he is very knowledged, trying his best to make our trip memorable. I wish I spend more time in Maasai Mara. Regarding to accommodation, all hotels and resorts are perfect and beautiful. Nothing to complain. Highly recommended.

We had a great 4 days safari trip with Right Choice team!
Shootout to Millicent and Wycliffe and Right Choice Safari Team! We just finished an amazing, unforgettable 4 days trip in Masai Mara (2 nights); Lake Nakuru (1 night); Lake Naivasha(1hour boat ride on the 4th day). Millicent was excellent in her timely communication with clear answers. Her service was professional. Our driver Wycliffe was a very safe driver, and he was a very knowledgeable guy. We have seen a variety of animals thanks to him. Also he was very patient, he made sure we were satisfied at each stop. And the Mara Sopa Lodge, Lake Nakuru Lodge that we stayed in were too notch. The hotel staff were very friendly. Overall it was a hassel free, memorable experience. We highly recommend this tour group if you are planning to travel to East Africa.

Surpassed all of our expectations and more
Communications were clear, timely and courteous at all times.
Service was impeccable, and surpassed all of our expectations
The Tour was incredible, with adequate breaks. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five with the help of our eagle eyed driver.
Arrangements for our stays in the three parks were seamless, had amazing food, loved the staff and stays.
Plan to revisit in Kenya/Tanzania, and will be seeking out George and Right Choice Tours & Safaris for sure.

Knowledgable, thoughtful, excellent safari operator!
My son and I were in Nairobi on business and decided at the last moment to book a safari. After some research on the topic, I chose Safari Bookings as the quickest and most reliable way to ascertain what I wanted. I took their recommendation and put in my dates and requirements on three possible guide outfits, and received three really good options to choose from. For what I wanted, I chose Good Choice Tours and Safaris, and they turned out to be that... a really good choice.
With literally only ten days advance notice, Millicent at Good Choice set us up for a customized 5-day version of their 3-day luxury safari option. The results were excellent: amazing accommodations; accurate pick up and return times; beautifully prepared/ presented dining at all meals; excellent tour guide/ driver (John); lots and lots of diverse animals and birds to see; friendly people; and amazingly, after all that... a really good value!
I can say that both Safari Bookings and Good Choice Safaris come highly recommended.

High quality guides, knowledgeable, professional and friendly
Very thorough. George responded to every enquiries I had in a timely manner. Ismal (out guide for Kilimanjaro) is very well educated and professional. He organised the team well while ensured the service provided to us is thorough and professional. We also enjoyed out safari tour very much and really excited to see the animals in actions. If there is future opportunities, would definitely return to Tanzania again :-)

Everything well Organized and Executed
Booking a trip to Africa is a daunting task with 100's of tour providers offering all sorts of tours and expeditions. George and his team ensured that all the details of our trip were planned perfectly, from the time we landed, we had a smiling face to welcome us and bring us to the hotel.
The vehicle was an African Limousine (Land Cruiser Safari Stretch), brand new with all the right modifications to ensure our safaris were perfect.
Ken, was extremely nice, great personality, very knowledgeable and insightful. No animal or small gesture was missed on his part. Around the craziness of drivers in Africa, Bob drove very respectfully, and NEVER spoke/texted on his phone while driving. I would ask for Ken the next time I come to Kenya.
In Tanzania we had the best 4x4 driver, Salim, he also noticed every animal and sight to see. We crossed rivers, mud bogs, and unbelievable terrains with calm and ease. Very much appreciated as we saw several trucks on their side during river crossings.
We arrived very early for our flight to Zanzibar, flight was good. In Zanzibar, I recommend upgrading to the Ocean Front Villa (nothing wrong with the villa given) . but for very little $$ you get a great view with a great room. All meals were included, very nice spread with something for anyone. If you don't like buffets, you choose the a la carte restaurant which is very inexpensive. We extended our trip for two days and went to Stone Town. Very much worth the time and small upgrade. Stone Town is filled with history that is so very important to learn, and we were only 10 minutes to the airport the next day.
Great Experience! Thank you George, Ken and Salim.
