6 Days Masai Mara/L.Nakuru/Amboseli
Right Choice was the best travel agent have ever travelled with. We conducted our itinerary by email and all arrangement were flawless since Mr. George was there for us any time and he made sure that were were satisfied and confortable with the itinerary. The arrangement were excellent accommodations,food and provided a professional and dependable drive who was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable about the park, flora and fauna.
The level of service was really phenomenal and their follow up at the end of the safari to verify that the services we received was excellent. I highly recommend Right Choice as the name suggests its the best choice I made.

Great experience that enhanced my appreciation of Kenyan Beauty.
Overall, the service was very good. I was very satisfied with the hotel they booked for us, the food was very good and the rooms were nice and clean. The tour guide and the driver that they assigned to us were also very respectful and helped introduce to Kenya and its culture. Very good experience!

A memorable adventure
As a whole we had a fantastic trip full of memorable experiences.
The people were friendly and welcoming and the accommodation was generally good.One of the lodges was a little disappointing but did not ruin the overall experience.
The service we received from Safarihub has been excellent, and I would recommend them.

Uganda - Gorillas & Chimps
The website stated - "Offers animal encounters never to be forgotten, spectacular scenery, exceptional photographic opportunities, and is known to have some of the friendliest people in Africa". And this pretty much perfectly sums the trip up. A small group of like minded people made this a truly memorable trip. There was good mix of pretty basis camping, and then Lodge/Bungalows for those days when we had trekked - which came as a very welcome reward. The highlight had to be the hour with the Gorillas, this can be a hard trek but sooooo worth it. Once again Ant was our guide and his knowledge, passion and enthusiasm made this one of the most awesome trips I have done. Thinking about booking a Masihambe trip? - stop thinking and start booking you won't regret it.

Amazing trip!
The 3-day Masaai Mara safari was great! very good driver, saw many animals, good and comfortable van, good food, good accommodation, good timing and definitely worth the money! The drivers/guides in the park work together and communicate with each other with radio/walkie-talkie to spot as many animals as possible.

An unforgettable ten days with Bigmac Africa Safaris.
Before I decided the safari company to go with, I contacted more than ten tour operators and it took quite some time narrow down to the final three I was choosing between. The cost for the safari and the reviews I found were more or less similar for all three of them. What made me in the end to go with Bigmac was the response speed and the clear information I got to all my questions.
I guess everyone going on a safari does that because of the animals and ultimately to be able to see "the Big five". You need to have some luck to do it since the animals are wild and they decide if they want to show themselves or not. I believe though that good guides will increase the probability and I am positive that I saw what I saw because of the guide. He was not only knowledgeable where in the park to drive he was also very good taking the van through all off-road passages that we needed to pass to get to all the areas.
Since it was my first safari trip I didn't really have any expectations but now thinking back writing this, I couldn't have had a better wildlife and nature experience and I must admit it was all because of Bigmac.
Whoever you will choose as your safari provider I am fairly sure you will have good time but if you want to be 100% sure, go with Bigmac.

Incredible Kenya Safari
I booked a 5 night Safari with Serene East Africa Safaris for December, 2016. My main contact at the company was Lucy (management) and Simon (driver). My trip solo: started in Nairobi (airport pickup) to Amboseli (1 night), Lake Navaisha (1 night), Lake Nakuru (1 night), Masai Mara (2 nights).
Planning/ Management
Lucy was very helpful planning my safari. She asked questions about what I was interested in and helped develop a full plan of parks, lodges, and connections that would allow me to see what I wanted to across Kenya. She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and very interested in making sure I enjoyed the trip. She took time to answer in detail any questions I had and shared these in advance with the driver Simon.
Arrival/ Departure
Lucy and Simon greeted me at the airport. They took me for a nice welcome lunch and Lucy went over details again to make sure I was ready for my trip. Lucy also met with me prior to my departure to get my feedback, make sure everything was good at the airport.
Safari Itself
The safari was nothing short of incredible. All of the parks were notable and I highly recommend Kenya Wildlife Service and Masai Mara parks as they are truly incredible. Simon took me on several long game drives, making sure that I had time to see what I was interested in, spotting animals, identified different species and explained what differentiated them, and took general time to talk about both Kenya, the history, culture, and people. He also kept in touch with other drivers in order to make sure we could see some of the rarer animals. In the end, we saw the big 5 in addition to many other animals (more zebras than I can count) and some stunning landscapes.
Accommodations
Both Lake Nakuru Lodge and Kibo Safari Camp (Amboseli) were chosen for my itinerary and were incredible. I highly recommend both of these; the former is a chalet-like lodge experience and latter is tented "glamping." The food, hospitality, amenities blew away my expectations.
We also had a night at Fish Eagle Lodge (Lake Nakuru) which was relatively standard/ met my expectations and 2 nights at Ol Moran Camp which was also a tented camping experience, good but not the same level as those earlier.
Place to Place
Kenya is a complex, interesting country. The people are very welcoming, though villages and remote areas are sometimes places to reflect about how fortunate as a Canadian I am. I felt safe the entire time with my driver; note that driving on Kenya roads is a bit crazy (people constantly passing and dodging other people, jammed with large semi-trucks, etc.) but Simon was able to manage it all well. He also knew the paths back country into Masai Mara which was helpful. The road to Masai Mara I had read is quite bumpy (it is), but not unbearable. We had bottled water throughout and the vehicle was in fine condition.
All gas, accommodations, food, etc. was included in a single price in my trip which made it convenient. I recommend making sure you have small bills (US$1) for tips, as some lodges have very helpful staff and breaking larger bills can be difficult in places.
To sum up, I highly recommend a Kenya Safari and I am very glad I chose Serene to be the guide for this adventure.

Wildness Safari are very prompt in responding their mail, bigs up to Ahmed, the Safari expert for arranging the trip. Time fled very fast as 10 days went like 2 days.

We had seen most of the animals in their nature. We had a good vehicle & safari guide Ibra, Ibra was safe driver & he is very professional with knowledge of flora & fauna. We have left our heart & will be coming back again. We recommend Widness Safari
