Friendly prompt service and well organised
My daughter and I recently had an 8 day safari tour with Right Choice Tours & Safaris, we had a most wonderful time in Kenya from the moment we were met at the airport in Nairobi to the day we ended our safari in Nakuru. Our safari was well organised with very good communication. Our driver and guide Tom was awesome, he also had a great sense of humour! Our cook Allan made the most amazing pancakes! We also felt very safe. I would highly recommend Right choice Tours & Safaris.

incredible experience
We had an incredible experience - a real trip of a lifetime.
From the second I reached out to Safarihub to help with our plans, everything was very easy, smooth, and professional. Nick did a wonderful job figuring out what kind of camps we wanted and what our priorities were and the combination of our two camps was a really good choice for us - and very different experiences.
Furthermore, when we got to each camp, everything was flawlessly ready and set up for us. Thank you!!

This was the trip of a lifetime.
When we visited Cuan in his Greenwich office he focused our thoughts and harnessed such a passion for Africa that we found it easy to follow his suggestions. We were never disappointed! From the moment his father met our plane in Johannesburg we knew that the trip was going to be special. From then until we left for home the travel and handovers from one guide to another occurred seamlessly, and we felt safe, organised and very pampered.
Whether it was Victoria Falls, the Chobe Princess (a highlight), Pom Pom Camp, Kwando Nxai Pan in Botswana, or the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, the service and food was great, and because all the details had been arranged by someone who truly knows this part of Africa, we were free to relax and enjoy everything. The animals and birds were sensational and too plentiful to describe.
The guides are very special people with great knowledge and it was wonderful to spend time with them.
Cuan was always very responsive to any request and was happy to customise our safaris according to seasons, our budget and special wishes. He suggested flying between the camps in Botswana and parts of Tanzania, and this was efficient, lots of fun and we saw the countries from the air. We even organised a week in Rwanda by ourselves for some not-for-profit activities then picked up a private tour in Tanzania, organised by Cuan to be where the great migration is in March. Needless to say the zebras and wildebeests were just where he had planned.
We will treasure our memories of this trip and are very pleased to recommend African Ubuntu Safaris to anyone who wants to visit this beautiful continent.

I would recommend Jackpot Safaris to my best friends
Where do I start? Planning a safari isn't an easy thing to do. Of course one can read things about the parks, but what really is relevant and valuable is the advice from locals on the current/actual situation. You hardly get this on the internet, you can get it from the operators in Tanzania. Andrew the manager and George the guide were very helpful in this respect, before and during the trip. Without this excellent exchange and advice, I would have ended up wasting my time and doing the wrong things like other people we crossed.
Generally speaking, I think the key factor of success and satisfaction is the operators staff, especially the guide. The equipment, car, food etc. is quite the same for all operators. The size of the company doesn't really matter either. Again, it's all about the knowhow and experience of the staff, don't worry about the rest. If you are thinking about touring without a guide, forget about it. Not that it's not possible, but you will loose an enormous lot of time figuring out how everything works and it will be difficult to communicate with other drivers/guides. Having a guide will make a huge difference. I can confirm that our Guide George was far better at his job than guides of other operators we met.
What else? I wasn't happy about the food to be honest. If I ever go for a tour again I would remember to speak about this before the tour starts. Once the car is packed that is it. You eat what is brought along ( for those camping like we did). I would have preferred African food rather than European food. Besides there are so many things which can and went wrong when an African cook serves European food.
Costs. I still can't figure out why the tours are so expensive. But let me tell you, I researched and negotiated with several operators and finally went with Jackpot for approximately USD 200 per person per day. We stayed at the campsites and slept in tents 5 days / 4 nights. There were two slightly cheaper deals from operators with foreign investors. And a lot of operators with higher prices. If you go on safari and know that it will cost a lot of money, I recommend doing business with local companies! Else a great percentage of your investment will stay in your home country or get transferred to foreign investors.
I would recommend Jackpot Safaris to my best friends. And I would advise them to contact the manager Andrew and do business with him directly rather than going through a travel aganecy in the home country.

Unforgettable Family safari & Adventure!
On behalf of the Raymond's i would like to personally recommend this company and its entire team of staff for an outstanding 6 days safari visiting the Aberdares National park, Samburu & the Ol pajeta conservancy. A part from the quick response during the planning phase both the driver guide(Paul) and the lodges booked we had the best of customer service. Paul was sharp at pointing out the wild animals and new where to visit at each particular time during the game drives. My recommendations to all those planning a safari with this outfitter my recommendations ask for Paul as your driver guide!

A wonderful Masai Mara Tour with a fantastic guide in all situations
We went for a 24h safari tour into Masai Mara with our own rented car and were very happy to be accompanied by Tumuti from namnyaksafari. He was very reliable and punctual and was waiting for us half an hour before the planned time. From the first minute it felt he is part of our family. He helped us alot when stuck in the mud and did everything to give us a wonderful time. We saw lots of amazing animals including a cheetah with its prey and astonishing landscapes!!! Just in time before darkness we arrived in the camp he had organised for us and got a delicious dinner. For our budget the camp was just great. The next day he saved us after having a car brakedown and made sure we got out of the park and home safely.
All together we had an amazing and adventurous trip with a very flexible and commited guide! Thank You!!!
Highly Recommend
We booked our safari through East Cape Tours, who provided excellent service, managing to fit in our dates by swapping us between lodges and the free transfer from Port Elizabeth was an unexpected - and reliable - bonus.
