Amazing bucket list safari experience!! - We absolutely loved our 15 day Kenya, Tanzania, & Zanzibar holiday booked through Right Choice! It was so hard to sift through all the tour companies and options out there, but not only did the itinerary work so well for us, but the value was awesome and it was actually how good the trip advisor reviews were that sold me! Our Kenya guide, Jacob, was so knowledgable and helpful! He honestly made our trip and safari!! The owner, George, was very quick to respond to our emails and requests. At the Kenya/Tanzania border we were met by another company, Raven Safaris, who is partners with Right Choice to complete the Tanzania portion of the safari. Our guide, Rajabu, was fabulous as well! A few things to note for to future travelers: 1. We didn't know we'd have the whole safari car to ourselves the entire time, we just thought the transfers between the spots were private but we would be in a group setting for the game drives -- this is not the case! You have a private vehicle for the duration of your trip! We only packed soft duffles and backpacks because that was what all the blog posts said, but since we had much more room we could have saved our backs a bit and done wheeled luggage. The flight from Arusha to Zanzibar also didn't care about wheeled luggage. 2. You have the same guide everyday you are in Kenya and different guide for your whole portion in Tanzania (not including Zanzibar). This was actually really nice to have the same person with us for multiple days, we weren't sure if we were going to have different people in each location when we booked! 3. A lot of blog posts warned us about tsetse flies and only wearing neutral earth colored clothing -- tsetse flies were only in Tanzania (not a thing around Kenya I guess) and we really didn't need to buy as much neutral safari clothing as we did. Overall my husband and I highly recommend this trip - it was truly a once in a lifetime experience for us and we are so thankful to Right Choice & Raven Safaris for making it such a pleasurable experience!

Incredible experience not to be missed - We were a family of 8 and we we did the classic Kenya, Tanzania with Zanzibar beach holiday with Right Choice. It was an incredible trip, put together perfectly by George and his staff. We did customize this a little bit to stretch it to 17 days and it worked great for us. We had 2 safari vehicles with 4 people in each vehicle. To list the high points, it starts with George. He is awesome in what he does right from understanding what our needs and expectations are, gives us very insightful recommendations, and works with us patiently until he puts together a perfect plan. He is very accommodating and very responsive to any questions/changes we have. I contacted about 8 tour operators to get estimates for the same itinerary. George and his company provided the best value for the money by a far distance. If you are on the fence about deciding on the tour operators, by going with Right Choice tours and safaris, be assured that you are making the RIGHT CHOICE. Read on if you are interested in further detailed review. Our tours started off in Nairobi. Joshua and Simon were our tour guides for the Kenyan segment. Both were excellent guides, very courteous and caring. They had a great sense of humor and they blended with us seamlessly like they were a part of the family. Their knowledge and experience in spotting the animals, explaining about their habitat, and getting to the right spots to get a great view of the animals was outstanding. Our day 1 was visiting the Elephant orphanage, Giraffe center, and then a welcome dinner at Carnivore. It was great to kick off the trip on a very positive note. All accommodations chosen were great and the food service at these lodges was very very good, perhaps the best of the places we have been to and we have traveled to a lot of destinations. As I mentioned above, George discusses with you regarding your needs with respect to accommodation and gets the best value for your money. Some of the places we stayed were absolutely gorgeous, far exceeding our expectations. There is not one place where I would say I do not want to stay there again. We visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and Masaai Mara. We saw all kinds of animals some of them really up close. Joshua and Simon ensured we had a very good experience on every game drive we went on. We got to see only 3 among the top 5 in Kenyan segment and this had nothing to do with the guides but just the fact that we were not lucky enough. Overall a great experience in Kenya. We then moved on to Tanzania segment where our tour guides were Chambuso and Ally. Chambuso was an excellent spotter, It always amazed us how he was able to spot some animals while he was driving. He was kind and courteous and a very good driver. They were punctual and worked with us to ensure excellent game drives. Here in Tanzania, we visited Lake Victoria, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire national park. We saw a huge herd of Lions and all sorts of animals including a sea of Wildebeests. We also spotted Leopards and Rhinos which completed our Big 5 spotting. Again accommodations were top class and we saw some amazing views of sunrise/sunsets, and amazing views of the savannah. Ngorongoro is a special place and not to be missed. We then flew into Zanzibar with incredible white sand beaches. We stayed in Blue Bay resort which was excellent, with very spacious rooms and excellent staff led by Group general manager Dass Bangar. Dass made sure our incredible vacation ended on a very high note. Overall, an incredible experience and we have wonderful memories to last a lifetime. All this went amazingly well because of George and his company. Asante Sana George!!! I am more than happy to be a reference for any of your prospective clients. When we decide to come back, Right Choice will be OUR ONLY CHOICE!!!

Wonderful guide; Great places to stay - Our guide, Opini, was wonderful. We saw so many animals and took amazing pictures and videos. Our guide was very attentive to what we wanted to see and did a great job of communicating in English. The places that we stayed were uniformly better than we had expected. They were all nice and a few were really exceptional. We could not have had a better vacation!

Once in a lifetime experience! Cannot recommend enough! - Right Choice Tours and Safari is highly recommended as the most professional and value for money tour operator. Since day 1, George was extremely communicative, insightful and happy to accommodate our requests for a dream trip. His responses were professional and quick and his guidance was to the point! We visited both Kenya and Tanzania and had an amazing, magical and seamless experience that will resonate with us forever. We wish our eyes could take pictures and videos! There are no words to describe the ecstatic feelings we had during the whole journey, from the very first day in Nairobi, Kenya to the last one in Zanzibar. Everything was impeccably organised and planned ahead for us. Special reference shall be made to the best experience of the trip: the homestaying at Olkinyei (Maasai village)! Such a majestic and interesting tribe! We were warmly welcomed and introduced to the ins-and-outs of the village, culture, traditions, everyday life. People usually do a 2hr visit but honestly, an overnight stay is highly recommended to have a better feel of the Maasai village and life. How often does one have the chance to do that?! One shall seize the opportunity with both hands, right? Ken, our guide in Kenya was the best driver, animal spotter, guide and guardian angel! He elevated the whole experience with his caring personality and the great sense of humour that we really loved! Chambuso, our guide in Tanzania, was amazing too! He is such a great and knowledgeable guide, driver and relentless animal spotter! It's not a coincidence that everyone was calling him on the radio asking for tips. Such a celebrity guide! Undoubtedly, both our guides are real gems and assets to the Right Choice Tours and Safari! We are forever thankful for everything and we are definitely coming back (same drivers please 🙂 )!!!

15 day safari - I would like to leave a review on our recent 15 day trip with right choice safaris. From start to finish, we had an amazing experience. Very smooth transition from the airport to the hotel, where we had time to rest up. First day we was picked up in our lovely safari 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser, this was an upgrade for the first part of the trip that we would defensively recommend upgrading to this to ease getting down difficult roads and for added comfort. First half of trip was in Kenya and Every accommodation was very clean, comfortable and pleasure to stay at, food was lovely and staff very nice. For our tour guide we had Kennedy, He was very knowledgable able to answer all our questions. Was able to get us close and to see all the animals we wanted to see, managed to see all the big 5 in Kenya alone. Our guide Ken was first to all of the animals we wanted to see. Very knowledgable on the parks, where to find the animals and best spots to go to. Could not recommend Ken enough, he made our trip a experience of a lifetime we will always remember. Second half of the trip in Tanzania again was an incredible trip. The national parks where incredible and beautiful views. Saw some amazing lions here. Accommodation was lovely at each place we stayed. Guide was lovely and very informative. Was eager and as excited as we were to see all the animals and again took us to see everything we wanted to see. Transfers where fab and smooth again to Zanzibar for some well needed rest after busy safari. Katie and Matthew

Reliable, trustable and compassionated touroperator who takes care of everything from begin till the end of your trip - We are a couple from the Netherlands that booked our 16 Day private lodge safari with Right Choice in the periode end of May/begin of June 2022. This period is the end of the rain season and not yet the high season, advantages are: better prices, never crowdy in the parcs/lodges and nice green landscapes. Disadvantages: sometimes there can be some rain in the afternoon and when you want to see the big migration to the Masai Mara, it's not the right time. Our trip was a combined Kenya/Tanzania/Zanzibar trip. We started our trip in Nairobi and ended our trip on Zanzibar Island (the safaris ended in Arusha, where we took a domestic flight). During our trip we visited different parcs like Nairobi NP, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate NP, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. From the moment we made contact with Right Choice, we constantly got very quick responses from George. All the questions we've had (as well as questions about composing and finetuning the trip as general questions about visas, best places to stay and other ideas) were answered quick and complete. George is always reachable by mail and (we found out later) by Whatsapp to help. So we started at Nairobi (we arrived late in the evening). As soon as we left the doors of the airport we were picked up by out Kenyan driver/guide Jacob (excellent driver and guide, when you book your safari at Right Choice, ask for him!) In consultation with George, we added an extra day in Nairobi, to explore the Giraffe Park and Nairobi National Park. We can recommend this to everybody. First of all, you have an extra day before the actual trip, so you can aclimatize a little bit and second you can visit Nairobi NP. You can spend a half Day in the park and have good opportunities to see rhinos (we did not see them anywhere else in Kenya). After Nairobi we went to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate and Masai Mara in Kenya. All the (tented) lodges were of good quality and most important, they have good locations in relation to the gates of the parks. If you want tot change a lodge for an other specific lodge you can arrange this also with George, he is ready to help you! When it was time to leave Kenya and enter Tanzania, it was also time to change the driver/guide and the car (in both countrys we drove a Toyota Landcruiser 4x4). During the immigration proces, as well as Jacob as our new driver/guide Steven (who was already waiting for us at the border) helps us step by step till everything was arranged and made sure we felt save and relax during the transfer. Even George called us at that moment to ask is if everything was as we expected so far. In Tanzania, our driver/guide Steven showed us he also have great driving skills and knowledge of all the flora and fauna in every park! We can also perfectly recommend Steven when traveling in Tanzania. After visiting the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire where we switched lodge (tip: Tarangire Safari Lodge inside Tarangire park), we were dropped of at Arusha airport and got the information of the flight times to Zanzibar and who was going to pick us up. Also this part of communication was great and we felt like everything was arranged very well for us. We spend the last 3 nights at a beach hotel at Zanzibar. Our suggestion is to discuss with George what kind of hotel you want and the choose the one you like. Conclusion, if you looking for a real reliable and trustable touroperator with excellent drivers/guides who literally know everything about their countys, National Parks and also love to share this with you, you can book with confidence at Right Choice. Special thanks to George, Jacob and Steven!

Awesome trip! - Loved this trip! We had a private guide for Kenya and Tanzania, which was awesome. Opany was our skilled driver in Kenya and he was kind, caring and very knowledgeable. Will definitely request him as our guide again. Mr. C. was our guide in Tanzania and again, so skilled in spotting animals for us to see. This company is a great company to work with, and would recommend them to you without hesitation. Thank you Opany and Mr. C for making our trip so memorable.

Excellent and memorable 15 days safari - Thank you George for planning an excellent and memorable trip for our group of 6 people. Your attention to every detail and prompt communication before and during the trip was much appreciated. You were prompt in resolving any issues and/or questions we threw your way. Each of the hotels/rooms starting from Nairobi and through each of the game parks were amazing and had their own unique charm. The staff in each and every hotel were so welcoming, friendly and nice. Ken our driver and guide in Kenya and Chambuso in Tanzania were absolutely awesome, knowledgeable and very patient. They made sure we got to see all the amazing animals and birds. The wilderbeast crossing the Mara River, Cheetahs and 2 cute Cubs eating a kill, multiple Lioness feeding on a giraffe and a lioness in action going for a kill were a few of the many memorable moments. Not to forget the heards and heards of majestic elephants, leopards, giraffes, zebras rhinos, hippos etc. It was all absolutely amazing! Chilling and relaxing at the Bluebay hotel in Zanzibar was a perfect end to our perfectly planned safari trip by you. Bluebay Hotel was fabulous with beautiful white sand beaches. Jonathan (Manager) and his wonderful staff took really good care of us. Thank you so much George, Ken and Chambuso for making our safari a memorable one. Patel Family

Unforgettable Lifetime experience - What an amazing experience. We (6 in our party)arrived in Nairobi and our guide Ken, was waiting for us at the airport. The safari was planned perfectly with George from Kenya (Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara) to Tanzania Safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire) and finally on to rest and recharge in Zanzibar. The open communication with George was reassuring, he was prompt and honest with his responses. Each day bought more exciting and challenges as we looked for the big 5 ( lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and African buffalo) and more! Kenya: Ken made sure we saw everything we could possibly have dreamt off to make this trip of a lifetime. The biggest challenge we requested was observing a big cat on a tree (check 😊) and the migration (check 😊). Ken was very patient with us and ensured he delivered! The wildebeests and zebras were teasing us for two days as they lined up but would give up as they summed up their entry and across the Mara river. On the 3rd attempt we were in time for the crossing and that image will stay in our minds forever. Thanks to Kens perseverance! Ken would check with his colleagues constantly for updates on any sightings and would zoom us there in time to see maybe a leopard with his cubs, a cheetah savoring his kill, a herd of elephants goofing off in the watering hole or a pride of lions. Ken was a skilled driver, timely, courteous and very informative and kept us amused. We had picked the luxury package and the accommodation was top notch with excellent restaurants at each place. Unfortunately, not enough time to enjoy the surroundings as gaming took up so much time (at ours request). Tanzania: Unfortunately, we started off bumpy on this leg of the journey as the jeep was a little older and we had 2 punctures within 24 hours (not the driver’s fault since the roads were bad) but one would expect these things are not overlooked. Once informed, George promptly remediated the issue and a new driver and jeep were delivered to us the next day, enter guide Chambusoo. What a charming guide! He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable as he showed off the Serengeti Savanah to us, he had a keen eye and was able to spot lions, leopards and cheetahs amongst the bushes. He would willingly stop for pictures and only move on when we told him to. I cannot even express in words the majestic Serengeti; one has to see it to believe it. We saw the "Big 5" and way more! George, Ken and Chambusoo made this trip so memorable that I would highly recommend you work with Rightchoice for your trip to Africa. Thanks to all 3 of you! Things to keep in mind when in a large party, minimize the luggage.! We had one checked bag each with a cabin bag per couple (it was very tight). Get a confirmation of the quality of the vehicles prior to travel, as you do not want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere and maybe be dinner for some hungry cat.
