Excellent organization and wonderful Safari with our guide Iddy
We had an amazing experience of six days safari. We landed in Nairobi and we didn’t receive our luggage. With the help of Richard we got our luggage back.
A special thank also to Iddy our guide and driver for the amazing game drive and for helping us to see all the big five. He knew all the perfect place to spot every animal.
With Iddy we have the chance also to see three times also the wildbeasts crossing.
Wonderful experience, highly recommended.

The perfect safari experience ❤️
Our honeymoon was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we owe it all to the incredible team at Ways of Africa. From the very beginning, the planning phase via WhatsApp and phone calls, to the warm welcome at the airport, Paul, Janet, and their team ensured every detail was seamless and stress-free.
We were particularly fortunate to have Collins as our guide—a true gem who treated us like family throughout the journey. His care, knowledge, and attention to detail made our safari experiences nothing short of extraordinary. Collins didn’t just guide us; he enriched our adventure, making it unforgettable.
On our last day, we had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer, a fun-loving and enthusiastic guide whose recommendations turned our final moments in Kenya into cherished memories. Her vibrant energy was the perfect send-off, leaving us with a complete and satisfying experience.
The trip planned by Ways of Africa was filled with delightful surprises and well-thought-out details that left us longing for more. We know without a doubt that when we return to Kenya, Ways of Africa will be our first choice.
For anyone looking to create memories that last a lifetime, we wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Ways of Africa. Thank you for making our honeymoon the best it could possibly be! ❤️

Amazing!
From the beginning of the trip, we met Paul , Janet and Collins at the airport. Paul and Janet were really kind and patient from the time of planning this beautiful trip.
We booked a honeymoon package for 5 days. We were given a private tour with our guide Collins. Collins (Leilashe) was the most cheerful, patient and a warm person. We instantly connected with him.
We visited lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha and Masai Mara with Collins. Collins was a really wonderful spotter and we spotted rare and beautiful birds and animals such as the white rhino during our time. He was like compass himself when it came to finding our way through Masai Mara. He was so patient and kind with us and felt like a brother.
On our last day, Jennifer our guide for Nairobi met with us. We visited the giraffe center and the national museum. Jennifer is awesome, we had such a great time and such great conversations with her. She too instantly connected with us and not one moment of the last day felt tiring or boring!
Ways of Africa team, though young has such wonderful options from budget, midrange to luxury and every moment was truly worth it.
My husband and I today feel that we have a family to visit back in Kenya. Kenya has made us feel home and the people and food is just amazing.

Got the job done
Raven Safaris is the Tanzanian partner of the tour operator we used in Kenya. The safari went as expected per the itinerary. Our guide Mr. C was very experienced and knowledgeable about local wildlife, including birds. We wanted to see wildebeests crossing and rhinos to complete our safari trip and he made both happen. He was also a very safe driver.
The reason for 4 stars is the condition of the safari vehicle - we had 2 flat tires in 5 days, there were multiple cracks in the windshield and one of the side mirrors was held together by tape. The inside is comfortable but I'm not sure how well the vehicle is maintained. Judging by the license plate, the vehicle is an older one.

Right Choice? Not really
TLDR:
-1 star for lack of transparency and poor communication
-1 star for 5 nights of downgraded lodgings but only 3 nights of upgrades later in the trip. Would have rather had 5 nights of better comfort.
We booked a 15 day safari trip in Kenya and Tanzania through Right Choice. Initially, George was very responsive and seemed very organized, and that was why we chose to book with him. We were not happy with the lodging but were mostly happy with the guide and driver we had.
For lodgings, we noticed that George stopped being responsive once we started asking for hotel confirmations to apply for the Kenya ETA. After a few weeks of following up, he finally sent us a confirmation for just the first night in Nairobi, and nothing for the remaining nights.
After we started the safari, the guide drove past the accommodation on our itinerary, and we were only informed of the lodging change at that point. There was zero communication from George himself, even though we had been in contact for other questions. The lodging in Amboseli was a significant downgrade (farther from the park and worse than most budget hostels in other parts of the world). The three of us were also stuffed into one tent even though we paid for 2 rooms. We tried to communicate with George and he just freaked out and shut down. The lodge manager was also pressuring us to stay even though we were clearly unhappy and wanted to move to a place that was equivalent to the place we were promised on the itinerary. George was no help there and dealing with him and the lodge manager cut into our game drive times.
When George finally responded again, we discovered that all of our lodgings in the Kenya portion were downgraded from the original itinerary. We had to be very forceful in our communication and even then, we only got 1 night of our original lodging back at Lake Naivasha. He then promised to upgrade us in Zanzibar to a 5 star all inclusive resort for 3 nights.
At this point, I started reaching out to the lodgings myself to confirm the bookings and found out that for the 3 nights in Masai Mara, the price difference was over $300 USD per person per night between what we were promised on the itinerary vs. where we actually stayed.
We had to confront George with all the information again and then he told us he was going to upgrade us for 2 nights in the Serengeti and 1 night in Tarangire, and that he was unable to upgrade in Zanzibar. However, based on the photos from Google reviews, I'm not sure how much the upgrade really was, but it was too exhausting to continue to deal with him. And at the end of the day, we would have rather just had the 5 nights of our original lodging for better comfort.
There may have been availability issues but George never told us anything. It also didn't seem like he was proactive with correcting the issues - we don't think that he would have upgraded us later if we hadn't called him out on the price differences. It was not fun to have to reach out to various lodgings while on safari drives to advocate for ourselves.
The guide & driver in Kenya were contracted out to a different company, but they were sociable and nice. The guide could have given more explanations for the animals we saw, and point out interesting things along the way like the guides we had later on. However, they did work hard to find animals inside the parks and gave us many great photo opportunities. Our guide helped us with communications when we had trouble reaching George, and was also nice enough to let us visit his home when we asked. We really enjoyed meeting his family and his wife gave a great tour of a traditional Maasai household (much better and thorough than the tourist trap that people get taken to).
The Tanzania portion of the trip was organized through different affiliate partners for the safari portion and Zanzibar portion. The Tanzania part of the trip went pretty well but I feel like most of the credit should be given to those respective companies. George didn't even give us the Zanzibar contact until we arrived at the airport.
