A wildlife Lover's Dream.
I loved our Safaris. Our guide was great. Our budget tent accommodations were okay. You can't be a picky eater if you're going to stay full while in Kenya. We were offered a lot of beans and rice and vegetables. We saw the big five in our first day. I have to admit that the drive to and from Safaris where eye-opening experiences. The traffic is horrible and there is a lot of poverty to be seen. I wasn't prepared for that. We did have some rain while we are there. But for the most part it was dry and dusty. I've been called a bit of a whiner for not being ready for some of these conditions. It is truly something you need to consider before you go. But in the end, the Safari experience will be worth it.

Helpful with booking and payment
I booked our hotel in Victoria Falls with Falcon Safaris and the online support I received both from the booking person and the accounts department was excellent as I wanted to book 2 rooms, one for my elderly parents with mobility difficulties and pay in SA Rands, which the accounts department enabled me to do, sending me not only the exchange rates but also the information that they used to do the exchange, which is very open and above board of them.

Good safari for great price
Me and my friend went on a 5 day safari in April. The equipment wasbasic but very good price/quality ratio. The food and the service were great! Very nice staff! The staff was very helpful and willing to give us a great experience! Overall very good company for low budget basic safari!

South Africa becomes an itch which keeps needing to be scratched. A vast and wonderful place.
I stayed in private concessions in the Kruger and had wonderful game viewing, great food and friendly staff. I could not fault our guides who were knowledgeable and had a warm manner and great sense of humour. I stayed at Hoyo Hoyo and Imbali camps. I can easily recommend them to anyone considering a safari. At the end of my stay I moved to Tydon tented camp. it was a long drive but gave me the chance to view Sabi Sands. The camp and staff were brilliant but the accommodation was much more basic. This was my own choice to keep the cost of the trip down. I had a great time at this camp and got on with our guides extremely well and saw some wonderful things in the park. My only regret is that the camp is outside the park which does not allow me to sit and watch animals at a waterhole. The camp allows drives into both Sabi Sands and The Kruger but I did not enjoy the trips into The Kruger as it was limited to staying on the public roads. having experienced The Kruger in private concessions this proved rather limiting to me. The camp accommodated me well by allowing me to do the rest of my drives and a walk in Sabi Sands which was truly brilliant with great sighting of lion, leopard and all the other wonderful wildlife of Africa especially nice to see so many white Rhino. I have to say that everything went extremely well with my trip and I would not hesitate to recommend anyone wanting to do a safari to simply get on and do it. It is an active holiday and not restful but the sights are superb. I must also mention African Welcome Safaris who organised my trip as all aspects of their organisation and advice were spot on.
Breathtaking experience!!
I personally know Ecobushman, a very professional and well spoken gentleman to whom we share the same vision “responsible tourism can be the positive force for conservation of wildlife and indigenous cultures”. As one of the people who have shared experience with Ecobushman International Expedition, I am very honored to write this review and recommend everyone to this lifetime experience with Ecobushman and his crew to embark a journey to the most beautiful places in African continent. Ecobushman, Isaac and Abuu are very professional, talented and organized gentlemen and they offered us an impeccable services including amazing tour to places like Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda and we were fed too well. Being in- experienced travelers, the fact it was a mixed age group of seven people which this help blend us nice together helped a great deal in building other network of friends. We have no hesitation in recommending Ecobushman International Expeditions to others.

Great for a first time family safari combined with other activities
We had a great family holiday with our 2 teenagers. Loved the experience of travelling on road through Kenyan towns with our guide David who worked tirelessly to ensure we had a good time and could fit in as much game viewing as possible. The van (which we had for ourselves only) was well maintained with comfy seats which helps on the very bumpy approach road to Masai Mara. David even washed the windows in the evening to ensure we had good viewing the next day. A really nice touch! Accomodations good (although if returning I would try to stay inside Mara not on the outside, but with 4 of us we were working to a budget) , and the company promptly changed it where it did not match the description in our intenary. Our cook Moses produced good meals and breakfast was much more ample than expected . Fresh eggs or pancakes (or both) every day! We loved Lake Nakuru, so scenic, we hadn't been sure whether to include this but so glad we did. We saw lions, and a rhino cross right in front of us, aswell as heaps of beautiful birds, and monkeys in the trees. Masai Mara a little busy at that time of year, but wow , we saw a pride of 12 lions along with cheetah munching its recent conquest. We also saw zebra and wilderbeest crossing the Mara river. We loved Elsamere at Lake Naivasha, go there if you can, to stay or just for a visit and tea on the lawn. Wonderful service and beautiful spot. We also enjoyed Green Crater lake walk and lunch right on the very peaceful lake at the end. Great value for money with this company and we would definitely use them again if we return on safari.

beautiful experience
I had a good price/value experience and had a lot of "care" from the person I have contacted by email. The safari was amazing the accommodation quite wild as I chose a cheap level. I would definitely recommend!

Great holiday in Kenya with Right Choice Tours & Travel
Me and my mother had 8 days safari which we ordered in Right Choice Tours & Safaris. It was something special, unique and unforgettable. We covered the most famous national parks. The trip was well organized, our driver Saimon was very patient and payed a lot of attention to details, he always stopped in order to show us animals, which we did not notice at first. Special thanks goes to George, the owner of the company, who offered nice safari 3 days before my arrival and was so kind to meet us in the Nairobi airport.
If you want to have a nice holiday in Kenya Right Choice Tours & Safaris is a really right choice! This company is reliable.

Nice destination with lots of wildlife and variety of parks
We had a fantastic trip in Tanzania and will remember it for a life time. Travel is all about the "stories" that are created...and we have wonderful stories to tell our family and friends. We structured this trip in as if we would never be back - we wanted to see a variety of things in the time we had and not just zeroing in on one type of experience. That has now changed...we definitely want to go back to Tanzania for another adventure. The three very distinct stages of our trip (safari, beach and Stone Town) all offered unique views into Tanzanian culture, land and wildlife. The safari offered wildlife viewing that was beyond anything we expected. We saw loads of lion! Wonderful accommodation and the weather was very pleasant for that time of year and no where close to the temperatures recorded on the internet

beautiful landscape, lovely people, great beaches
Our trip was great. We have seen so many animals like giraffe, hippo, elephant, many beautiful birds, black mamba and other snakes, kudu, impala, buffalo, baboons, crocodile and big groups of lions on both days. One group was already at the place we have expected to have lunch...
We could tell the driver whenever we would like to stop to take pictures or to enjoy the landscape.
Also the food was delicious and the accomodation was very quiet, except the bush babys we could hear at night...
When we arrived after 6hours drive from dar es salam we could relax on the boat and see first animals like hippos, lizard, crocodiles and birds. Sunset on rufiji river was great.
The walking safari was very interesting and we could learn a lot about animals and plants.
We can really recommend doing this 4 days selous safari.
