It was an outstanding trip.
Tanya, Dani and myself loved it. Edward was a great guide, we saw the big 5 and many more amazing things. Everything was very professional and it was great value for money.

Fantastic from first point of contact to the very end.
Peter was excellent from start to finish of the booking process and managing our tour. Even with a slight change due to our airline making changes, Peter made sure we got to do everything on our itinerary. We were picked up by John in a new land rover with everything we could need on board. John was very knowledgeable about Kenya, Kenyan history, local information and (most importantly) animal facts! Unlike a lot of other tours we saw going around the Maasai Mara John took his time with every animal we saw, he spoke about their habitat, how they hunt and their babies and mating rituals. He got us as close as he could to the animals and gave us plenty of time to take pictures. Due to John taking his time around our game drives we were able to comfortably see the big 5 and more! No rushing through!John made sure we had everything we needed and were great with our children aged 6 and 9. The accommodation for our stay was fantastic, a basic safari lodge for the first 2 nights with electric during certain times and camp fires at night and a luxury safari tent for the 3rd night which had unlimited electric and on site pool, bar and spa facilities. Both accomodations provided amazing food, private vathroom facilities and nothing was too much trouble.
I highly reccomend booking your tour with Peter, you are in good hands with him!

For a first safari ever - we are glad to have chosen these people!
We went on a safari to Kenya in Oct 2018. I'd like to get a few things out of the way first - This was the first time we went on a safari, it was a last minute whim and we love wildlife (who doesn't!).
Tour Operator: Having zeroed in on a destination for a week-long break(literally a week before we left) we decided to look for a well-rated tour operator. We narrowed down a few and decided to give these guys a go. Peter and his team, from the get-go, have been extremely helpful. It was a private tour and we knew what places we wanted to visit and how many days we'd like at each place so when we asked Peter about tweaking the itinerary a bit to our liking he promptly sent us one. He was always available and also gave us a number to contact on out-of-hours (which is very much appreciated when you work shifts AND have to check what the local time is, each time you have a question). Peter was very patient and answered all queries. He delivered everything as promised.
The Guide: Anthony was our tour guide. He was just amazing. He was friendly without being intrusive and directed our schedule without being authoritative. His enthusiasm for actually showing us every animal as promised on the safari card was impressive. He accommodated every request without hesitation and never tired of all those arduous journeys. (To all the LADIES out there : He knew exactly where to stop for a loo break - 'clean toilets only'.)
The Safari itself : Africa is just breathtakingly beautiful. Every national park is a different setting (grassland, marsh, plains, hills) and you will see every thing you've ever wanted to, and then some more. All that Nat Geo footage will unfold in front of you and you might have to pinch yourself now and then.
For anyone considering going on a safari, few tips :
- Yes it is expensive - I am not exaggerating when I say its well worth the money! Maybe plan early to save on air tickets?
- A 6 day tour of Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli is EXHAUSTING. You wake up at 6 each morning and are on the road until sunset. EVERYDAY. If you want a more relaxed vacation, either look for air transfers between the national parks(some of those roads are horrendous!) or spread the tour out over a few more days.
- Africa is SAFE (food, security, health, mosquitoes) if you are careful. Its just common sense (cliche, but true to the word.)

Safari of a lifetime from exceptional, trustworthy Africa McFlash
We selected Africa Mc Flash tours as we saw them advertised on the Guardian. We were looking for a long safari, for as little money as possible, with a trustworthy company we could rely on actually meeting us in Nairobi! We thoroughly recommend Africa MC Flash if these are attributes you're looking for.
Peter put us on an 8 day safari of Masai Mara, Nukuru and Naivasha lakes and Amboseli national park. We found this the perfect balance of safari types and locations and we didn't want it to end.
The accommodation provided for an EXCEPTIONALLY Reasonable price far surpassed our expectations, the Oldapoi camp, and safari lodges we stayed in through our trip were beautiful and luxurious.
Peter is a completely genuine, exceptionally helpful and reliable man, and we are extremely grateful to him and our guide Eddie for the lengths they went to to make our trip exceptional. We got engaged on the trip and Eddie helped me find the perfect opportunity to ask! Both guys made the trip very special.
Peter and our guide Eddie were such lovely chaps, we couldn't have asked to meet two nicer people and we hope we get to see them again one day!

Once in a lifetime experience.
Our experience with Africa Flash MC was incredible. Peter was great at communicating and provided us with several options to ensure the best trip possible for me and my friends. Our driver, Patrick, was so friendly and full of awesome facts! We got to see the Big 5 in the first two hours of our trip and so much more over the following days. We always felt safe and comfortable, Patrick was truly the best!

Excellent experience and apart from a couple of misunderstandings our safari went according to plan
We booked with Peter quite late but everything was arranged very quickly and very professionally. Our driver was very good and the trip, even though involved very long drives, was very good. Accommodation in both lodges was excellent including the food. However, even though the lodge in the Masai Mara tour (The Azur Haven Lodge) is advertised as having good and fast internet connection, there was no internet connection at all during the day for lack of electricity, which was a bit of a problem as my brother had to make several calls to control his business back at home but wasn't able to do so. At Lake Nakuru Lodge we had a misunderstanding with the our package as the reception was telling us that it hadn't been paid even though we had. The staff were not very nice nor helpful and made us feel as though we were trying to get out of paying for our stay until they spoke to Peter in Nairobi and all was sorted but then had the same situation with the lunch arrangement on the last day. Anyway, in all we would recommend using Flash Mc Tours and hope that the company revise these small misunderstandings so that the same situation doesn't happen to other guests.

Well organized trip to Ol Pejata
We were looking for a trip to ol pejeta to see the rhinos and Peter made us a good offer. Communication was quick and very informative. Every request was handled fully satisfying. Payment was handled good and trustful. We were greeted by Peter perfectly on time at our Hotel in Nairobi. We did a nice ride from Nairobi to Mount Kenya with a nice driver. Near the Park we met Patrick, our driver through the Park. The tented camp was lovely, meals were tasty and we saw everything we expected in the Conservacy: Cheetah, Lions, Elephants, Rhinos and much more. It was an amazing trip. Thanks again to Peter who was (via Whatsapp) with us the whole trip. Everytime he gave us the possibilty to help, if anything would not be in order. Very Good!

Carefree Safari where all details were taken care of.
Africa Flash was introduced to me by a friend. I got in touch with Peter who was quite forthcoming in adjusting my tour as per my time plan and schedule. He did give his expert opinion to fit in the best. Quality of cars provided were very good. The drivers cum guides were very knowledgeable and polite. My compliments to Edward and Leonard for showing us around.
Thanks to Peter and his team to make my trip a very memorable one. I look forward to more such wonderful trips with Africa Flash, this time in Serengeti.
Gold Bless and Cheers.

Reliable and well-run Safari company - always our first choice for Kenyan Safaris!
I have personally travelled with Africa Flash McTours three times, and have sent my friends and colleagues on several more, and each has been amazing and extraordinarily well-run.
Peter and his team of knowledgeable drivers and safari guides look after their visitors well and always choose the best safari lodges in your desired price range.
My most recent trip to Amboseli National Reserve was with a large group and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! The lodge facilities such as food and the swimming pool were excellent.
If you are looking for a reliable and honest safari and touring company in Nairobi, you need to look no further than Africa Flash McTours!
