Our flights from UK to Nairobi in October 2019 and the Safari lodge on the Masai mara was booked independently however I did use Right choice safari and tours for transportation from the Nairobi to the Masai Mara and the safari game drive for 5 days. The communication was very good between George Oketch and I with a seamless money transfer, George also allowed us to customize our trip which was appreciated

Our Driver/safari guide was John Musa who we thought was very attentive patient and nothing was too much. It took around 4.5 hours to drive to the Keekorok lodge (Masai Mara) which gave us amply time to get to know John and to admirer the beautiful landscape whilst John educating us about Kenya. We stopped for comfort break, money exchange and lunch and just outside the Masai mara reserved we visited the Masai Village. John who was clearly very experience knew the Masai mara reserve like the back of his hands. We saw all the big five and two kills all in one day. Leopard, rhino, lion,elephant, buffalo. Amazing, another day we witness the migration of wilder beast and elephant to the Serengeti.

Thank You so much John for making my 50th birthday memorable and a trip of a life time. I would definitely recommend Right choice and safari and Tours and John Musa

My girlfriend and I did about 9 days of Safari I’m southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania. We started in Amboseli, Masai Mara, Serengeti, then Ngorongoro Crater.

We spoke with a few Safari companies but George was the most responsive and worked really closely with us to help plan the trip. We went back and forth on many changes and George was pretty accommodating and helpful overall. He helped us change parts of our trip while we were on Safari as well, which we appreciated.

Both of our drivers on Safari were great. Ken was our driver in Kenya. He’s a big, fun, guy with a good sense of humor and who took us around to find a lot of great sightings. We requested Ken after reading some reviews about him on Trip Advisor. We had heard bad experiences a few people had with driver’s and wanted to make sure we had someone accommodating and knowledgeable. You spend most of your time in the truck with the driver, so it’s important that you all feel at ease and in good company together, otherwise I could imagine it being a miserable experience.

So Ken was great and we really appreciated him and would recommend him if you’re considering a trip. He picked us up for the airport when we flew to Masai Mara from Amboseli, and took good care of us.

In Tanzania we spent more time with our driver Chombuso. Chombuso was a true professional and someone we felt very secure with, safe, and taken care of. You can tell he really loves the animals and he went above and beyond to make sure we got some really amazing shots and up close looks at animals, we definitely recommend Chombuso when in Tanzania.

We had the trio of a lifetime, we stayed at Elewana properties and got the 10% discount, and then stayed at Neptune in Ngorongoro with was amazing. We booked luxurious places which made the experience really nice.

Overall with our trip the only issues and drawbacks were with the Safari vehicles and things that didn’t align with what George had told us. The land cruiser vehicles were overall in good shape, but missing WiFi, a working cooler/refrigerator, and A/C.

These weren’t major issues, but you do spend 90% of your time inside the vehicles, so the small things make a big difference. Being able to store cold drinks and maybe a few beers would have been really nice while on safari. It would have been nice to have WiFi as well - but that wasn’t as big of a concern, but since we were told we would have it, it was slightly disappointing. The A/C on a few occasions would have been nice, when the roof wasn’t open and we weren’t on Safari. But overall wasn’t a big complaint.

So overall it didn’t have a big impact on the experience, but also shouldn’t be promised unless those things are actually included. Make sure you get clear confirmation they are included if those things are important to you, I would ask multiple times and be very specific with George.

We did have the trip of a lifetime using RightChoice, it really was amazing. Drivers were great and the places we stayed were all luxurious and accommodating. We are happy with our decision using RightChoice and would recommend them as a travel guide and booking agency.

We booked our honeymoon with Right Choice and cannot recommend them enough. George spent months communicating with us via email to plan an amazing and detailed itinerary (we booked a trip that lasted just short of 3 weeks in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar) and ensured we ticked off all the highlights as well as building in optional excursions. He was brilliant at answering all of our questions quickly, catering to our needs and even met us on our first day to greet us in person, which was a lovely touch.

On arrival, we were met by Ken (our driver for Kenya). He was immediately friendly and approachable, made us feel at home and able to answer all of our questions. We felt incredibly safe with him, he was a skilled driver and very knowledgeable about the animals. He was particularly good at getting the jeep into good positions on safari to allow us to take some very close up photos. Ken is a real asset to the company!

We booked 2 safaris, the first was planned with 4 nights and the 2nd with 5 nights (so it said in the mail and was also paid). The first safari went well, we also saw many animals, the guide really tried hard. On the 2nd safari it was then said after the 4th day that tomorrow is the last day. Surprised we said that according to the mail the safari lasts 5 nights and 6 days. Suddenly no one wanted to know anything more about that. After a phone call and SMS to George, he then admitted that there is probably a misunderstanding, he actually meant only 4 nights even if there are 5 nights! Astonished and annoyed, we tried to make it clear to him that we expect 5 nights at this price according to the mail. George wants to know nothing about it and there was also no compensation. The end of the safari was accordingly bad, as we desperately tried to still get accommodation at a reasonable price! Thus, we have now paid an extra night and also the full price - which was for 5 nights. From our point of view, this is pure rip-off. Who books here, must clarify beforehand how many days and nights are included in the booking to avoid nasty surprises. We do not recommend this tour provider (although the guide made a great effort, but the surrounding now clouded everything!).

Dear 36kah, Thank you for your review. All feedback is important to us and we’re sorry to hear you’ve had such a frustrating experience. As you can hopefully see from our other reviews, your situation is the exception and far from our usual high standards and company’s values. You booked two safaris with us, nearly for same duration and paid nearly same price for each segment. We allocated one driver for the two safaris. The first safari went well. The second safari did not end well because you wanted to extend the duration to six against no payment. Surely, why would second safari be a rip off when you had same driver, same tour van and the same lodges as a greed. How would you expect 5 nights safari for the second segment when you paid similar amount like the 4 nights safari. Remember, we offered you a free ride Mombasa train terminus to your resort in Diani, All this was done on complimentary basis. I think this issue was purely on misunderstanding. We understand your disappointment with Right choice and agree that this is not acceptable. This makes us all the more keen to make sure this doesn’t happen again to our future customers..

Visiting Kenya, we decided to go for Rights Choice Tourism and it was definitely the right choice. Our driver was Jacob, he took more of his time to make sure we enjoyed Kenya and have an insight to everything. Jacob made sure we saw every animal in Masai Mara and he had his mask on the entire trip; a very trustworthy guide, we forgot our goods in the car and he got it for us the next day. The stops we made were The Great Rift Valley, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Masai Village, Giraffe Center, Nairobi. A special thanks to George for making up for any incidents that occurred that weren’t in his hands, he was extremely generous and kind and made sure we enjoyed our trip from A - Z .

Jambo Maryamr, Wow, we are blown away by your positive words, we really appreciate the time you took to write such a detailed review! We can’t thank you enough for the kind words about Jacob. He made sure you saw all the animals available in masai mara and lake Nakuru national park. George too never disappointed. He made sure you remained safe and comfortable by choosing great intimate camps for your accommodation in the wilderness. Looking forward to seeing you again soon and thanks again!

Seeing the wildlife of East Africa has been a dream of mine since childhood, and this year Right Choice Tours & Safaris, along with their exceptional guide Kip, made my dreams reality. They helped curate a perfect experience based completely on the criteria and budget that we set. Everything, from lodging to the tour experience itself, was chosen with the utmost care and concern to make our visit one that could only be described as a once and a lifetime event.

Our guide, Kip, made it his mission to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. He deftly maneuvered our trusty Land Cruiser over the varied terrain of the African bushland, giving us intimate and unparalleled views of everything. When I say everything, I mean everything. Within the first 3 days of our 8 day safari, we had checked every one of the Big 5 off of our list, even the ever elusive leopard. Kip's knowledge of the wildlife, terrain and people of East Africa is immeasurable, when we had a question, he had an answer. I could go on for hours regarding his expertise, but what really set him apart was his love of the land. It felt like we were being guided by a friend that was experiencing the trip with us for the first time. This certainly wasn't his "first rodeo" but he had all of the enthusiasm and love of first timers like ourselves. I couldn't recommend him as a guide more, as our trip wouldnt have been the same without him by our side. We couldn't imagine of a more fitting name other than Right Choice Safaris & Tours for this company, as it truly encapsulates how we felt about our experience.

I am so happy that we chose Right Choice Safaris for our 8 day honeymoon trip. Prior to the trip George and Millicent were so responsive and intent on making sure we got everything we wanted out of the trip. We ended up doing a lot of this last minute due to the uncertainty with COVID but they were able to get us reservations in all the camps/lodges that I wanted. They also offered a full refund if something changed last minute and we weren't able to come because of COVID. Luckily, that did not happen and we had the trip of our lives! Joshua, our guide, was absolutely fantastic! He knew tons about the animals and could tell by their behavior whether they were hungry and ready to hunt or were more likely to just relax. This resulted in us getting to see 4 cheetahs hunt and kill an antelope in Maasai Mara, an unbelievable sight! We also caught the wildebeest migration just on time, only having to wait about 20 minutes while others waited all day. There were a lot more highlights but I'll let you see for yourselves! It was a pleasure to spend 8 days with Joshua. He was truly knowledgable, very eager to please, flexible, professional and timely. I highly, highly recommend requesting him as your guide. Right Choice Safaris did an excellent job in making our honeymoon special including having every place we stay decorate our bed with flowers and they even added "Just Married" tire covers to the back of our jeep that were quite a hit with the other guides. Overall: fair price, excellent service, amazing experience.

I loved everything about our safari - we ended up having two guides because the first had a death in the family, and even while he waited for his replacement, he still took us out that day and gave us one of the best safari days we had the whole time. Both of our guides were super friendly, very knowledgeable, and went out of their way to make sure we were able to see all of the animals we could. I would definitely choose this company to safari with again. It lived up to it's name!

We have chosen to visit Kenya three times before as this beautiful country looks after its wildlife and hunting is not allowed. This time I decided to book our fourth safari through a Kenyan company rather than an international one as I wanted the Kenyans to have the profits after suffering so badly during the pandemic. It was an excellent decision! Everything went smoothly from booking to completion of the holiday. Our driver guide, Joshua, was friendly, knowledgeable and informative and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. We spent 4 nights in the Massai Mara, one in Nakuru and two in Amboseli. We have never seen so many animals before - except in the migration - and we saw so many unique sights: a new born elephant suckling from its mother, a hyena carrying her baby in her mouth, three black rhinos out of the 16 which live in the Mara, 19 giraffes grazing together and three generations of young lions, 16 in all, on a rock, resting or playing, while waiting for their mothers who soon arrived to a stampede of welcome from their cubs! This was the best safari experience we have ever had and I have nothing but praise for George at Right Choice who arranged everything so professionally from start to finish. I have no hesitation in recommending Right Choice to other travellers and rest assured, George, we will be back! Thank you for giving us the chance to make so many unforgettable memories.

The best safari tour company we could have chosen! George was really helpful when planning the trip, was very organised and answered any questions we had before we went. We did the 10 day classic big five Kenyan safari which was incredible! We also added on a day trip to the elephant sanctuary and giraffe centre in Nairobi at the start and added on the hot air balloon ride. The hot air balloon ride was amazing and the breakfast in the bush after felt like something out of a film. We saw all the big five within the first few days thanks to our amazing tour guide Jushua! We could't have had a better tour guide, he made us feel welcome, was always smiling, was extremely knowledgeable and knew the answer to every safari/animal related question we had. Jushua managed to spot a leopard that was so far away and extremely camouflaged, and knew exactly what movements it would take and was able to position our jeep in a prime spot for the leopard to walk right past us! Jushua was always on time and incredibly organised and made us feel at ease throughout the trip. I would highly recommend requesting him as your guide! The lodges were all so nice, spacious, clean, the staff were really friendly (our favourites were Fig tree camp and Kibo camp). The food at every lodge was really good with loads of choices for every meal. If you're considering booking a safari I would highly recommend Right Choice Safaris. Thank you George and Jushua!!
