Awsome Safari in Kenya - Right Choice was truly the right choice for us as we had a wonderful safari in Kenya, getting to see all Big 5 and so much more! Our guide was Opany and he was simply amazing!!! With over 25 years of experience, he is very wise, professional, easy to get along and with a superb eyesight to catch every animal from a great distance. :-)

RIGHT CHOICE, INDEED!!!! 5* - Right choice!!! We had a brilliant safari with Ken our driver. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw the big five. He would get our car in brilliant positions to see the animals. Would highly recommend his service.
George who organised the full safari, tailor made the trip, super special as he organised a day trip to Kisumu which no other tour company would do. Kisumu is very close to our family and so being able to visit, we had Duncan who took us around all the places.
Payments on the whole were super easy to make. Reliable and simple.
We had a fabulous 2 nights in the Masi Mara, Mara Maisha camp. Followed by 1 night at the cliff in lake Nakuru. Food and service was 5* at these places.
We headed off to Zanzibar after the safari. On the flight home had along layover in Nairobi. So we spent the day at giraffe manor, mamba village and a lovely lunch.
The whole company is run so professionally and they really will go above and beyond to make your time amazing. There are so many your companies but this one is truly special.

Wonderful honeymoon safari - My wife and I went on this safari for our honeymoon. We had an incredible time, and were fortunate enough to see the Big 5, plus many more animals!
Our guide, Ken, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He helped ensure we had everything we needed, and he made our safari entertaining and informative. We highly recommend this Safari, and we highly recommend Ken as a guide!

Family Safari and beach - Kenya -with sons aged 17 & 21 (they LOVED it !!) - We actually did a week Safari starting with the Masai Mara (my favourite) then Lake Nakuru, Amboselli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East followed by 4 days at the beach - Diani - one hour from Mombassa. Everything was perfect. George did a fantastic job of organising everything for us including our internal flights from Mombassa to Nairobi and transfers to the airport on our way home. We were lucky to have John as our guide. He stayed with us for the whole time and was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife there. We saw 5 out of the big 5 after day 2 thanks to John’s expertise. I couldn’t recommend this company and our guide enough. We have recommended you to lots of friends back in the UK. Our highlights were the wildebeest migration crossing the river in the Masai and sitting watching the water hole from our accommodation at Tsavo West. Top tips: take both USD and local ccy for tips (they prefer USD) and warm clothes for the early mornings !

The name says everything!! - ENG: We planned our trip through an agency specializing in honeymoons, so we weren't sure what our safari experience would be like. But it's a good thing that Right Choice Tours & Safaris is the agency's partner, because it was undoubtedly an incredible experience. The day we arrived at the airport, we had Ken waiting for us, who took us to the hotel and arranged with us the next day when we would start the safari. It was 4 full days of safari, divided between the Masai Maara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha and we are sure that the experience would have been totally different if our guide hadn't been Ken. He was amazing with us, always doing everything to ensure that we were the first to observe every animal moment, so much so that we were the only ones at Lake Nakuru to see rhinos. We agreed to return when we have children and we are sure that they will be our (right) choice.
POR: Planeamos a nossa viagem através de uma agência especializada em lua de mel, então não tÃnhamos certeza de como seria a nossa experiência de safari. Mas ainda bem que a Right Choice Tours & Safaris é parceira da agência, porque foi sem dúvida uma experiência incrÃvel. No dia em que chegamos ao aeroporto, tÃnhamos o Ken à nossa espera, que nos levou ao hotel e combinou connosco no dia seguinte quando é que iniciarÃamos o safari. Foram 4 dias inteiros de safari, divididos entre o Masai Maara, o Lago Nakuru e o Lago Naivasha e temos certeza que a experiência teria sido totalmente diferente se o nosso guia não fosse o Ken. Ele foi incrÃvel conosco, fazendo sempre os possÃveis para que fôssemos os primeiros a observar cada momento dos animais, tanto que fomos os únicos no Lago Nakuru a ver rinocerontes!!! Combinamos com ele, voltar quando tivermos filhos e temos certeza que eles serão nossa escolha.

Jacob's excellent guiding skills - We took a private safari from Nairobi Airport.
Jacob is one of the best guides in the world.
He is very enthusiastic and skilled at finding rare animals. Simply put, he is perfect. He was happy to accommodate our needs as Japanese people. I took pictures with the standard app on my Google Pixel 6a, and I'm glad I was able to take good photos.
He gives us chilled mineral water during the drive.
He has excellent driving skills in the Land Cruiser, and goes through the bumps smoothly.
Although we couldn't hear much because our English is poor, he is also very knowledgeable about the animals and the area. He found a group of 16 lions and a group of 8 lions before anyone else, and got ahead of them.
He may have been a little late in arriving at the airport (we contacted the office because we are used to it. We were relieved to find that the office was open that day. There was a traffic jam due to a tanker truck overturning accident).
At Lake Nakuru, we saw elephants, zebras, buffalo, antelopes, baboons, lions, many white rhinos and their calves, Rothschild giraffes, flamingos, pelicans, marabou storks, and more.
At Masai Mara
・He was the first to discover two female lions and a pride of 16 lions, both male and female. He also knows where the lions are going, so he can ambush them.
・A large male lion resting his three baby lions in the shade!
・A pair of friendly cheetah brothers resting.
・A beautiful flight of a family of Uganda's national bird
・A stone monument on the Kenya-Tanzania border
・The national bird of Kenya
・Various kinds of antelope
・Zebra
・Ostrich
・Jackal
・Elephant (He was chasing a large herd, but the road was broken so he turned back)
・My favorite warthog (I've done game drives in many countries, and even when I requested that I like warthogs, they often didn't take me seriously, but they often showed me)
・Suggestion of an optional tour of Lake Naivasha Crescent Island (they took photos that surprised everyone)
・Hippo and crocodile option (a ranger with a gun will show you hippos and crocodiles.)
・Hornless elephant, hornless buffalo
・Fresh buffalo skull
There are more, but I can't write them all.
The safari company, accommodation, and places to visit were chosen based on the book by Our Safari Maestro Takeda Chokko and the Maestro's private advice.
She carefully selected the areas with the most animals in the season we were staying, and we chose our favorite lodges from there.
I couldn't believe it. As soon as we left the lodge, we saw elephants! Giraffes! Lions! Babies! It was a surprise. (This is from Takeda Chokko, a missionary of love for Africa and a teacher of choosing lodgings according to the season.)
Maestro Chokko Takeda and Jacob made the safari for our Japanese family of four the best. We gave Jacob more tips than we should have, instead of giving him a lump sum on the last day.
We only have one regret. That is, "We should have studied more English, Swahili, animals, and Africa."
Amazingly, we still have two more days.

Jacob with Right Choice! - I cannot recommend enough Right Choice for your safari, specifically with JACOB!
We saw the big five and more before the first 24 hours was over. He passed on a wealth of knowledge about game, about culture, language, etc. every moment we shared. Any request we made - he delivered. He is flexible and happy to cater to your specific interests and desires and clearly takes pride in his work and his culture.
It became a running joke in our group that wherever Jacob went, the other safari guides would follow. He knows the land and the animals well, and although we were often the first ones on the scene to spot big game, he always shared his finds with the remaining safari guides after we got our "perfect shots".
I can't emphasize enough how satisfied and comfortable we were.
By the end of the trip, he was more of a friend than a guide, and we were sad to say goodbye. But, we will keep in touch with him and his beautiful family (who we fortunately got to meet later on in our trip) for life!

Super experience! - 4 nights and 5 days safari in Kenya, period August 2023.
Our tour arranged with Right Choice safaris & tours included Nairobi National park, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Neivasha. What can I say, everything was fantastic and organized down to the smallest detail.
The contacts with George were fast and precise, and our driver-guides were fantastic especially Witcliff was incredible, great knowledge of the environments and the animals, he takes you as close as he can to the animals and positions himself so that the tourist can see them at their best. We can only thank him for how good he made us feel.
There is no point in talking about landscapes and animals because they are devastating and must be seen absolutely! All the big 5 spotted!
Highly recommended company, thank you
