Well organized, reliable, tailored to our wishes
We travelled as a couple of two with Africa FlashMc in August/September 2021. We are avid and experienced photographers and bird/wildlife watchers.
Booking process: smooth, prompt and always taking our requests into account. Tailoring the trip to exactly our needs worked very well.
Overall handling of the trip: worked very well, all transfers were smooth, without hassle or delay. Connecting flight from the seaside into Nairobi was booked, transfer arranged – all well.
Hotel selection: according to our requests. Rooms were always booked in very good/best positions within the respective hotels. Except for one place all hotels were up to standard and in a good location.
Route: exactly to our requests.
Vehicle: up to standard, clean, fully operational. We strongly recommend booking of a full off-road vehicle with 4WD etc. Pop-up roofs provides best wildlife viewing.
Driver/Guide: well trained, experienced. Very friendly and attentive. Very open to our wishes and suggestions while also suggesting alternatives or improved variants. Knowledgeable about wildlife and birds (and building up expertise constantly!). Extremely attentive to our wishes as photographers (having the vehicle positioned in perfect angle for light and object). Very alert to spot wildlife and suggest photo stops. In a nutshell: best guide we ever had, will definitely travel with him again!
Overall: smooth, hassle free organization, cost benefit ration fully justified, attentive organization, great guide! We can fully recommend FlashMc.

Unforgettable safari in Kenya!
Eight unforgettable days in Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Masai Mara Park with Africa Flash McTours and Travel. Professionalism and courtesy are the strong points of this reliable tour operator.
Our family group appreciated the excellent organization of Peter, the company’s owner, the kindness and carefulness of Edward, Simon and David, our safari guides. Thanks their good spots, we sow a lot of animals), very close (the big fives and many others and the Great Wildebeest Migration crossing.

The tour operator was very responsive and detailed.
From the beginning, Peter was great with helping us to plan our safari trip. He was super responsive and worked with us on the price. He detailed out the itinerary, the costs, and what was included and not included. He was able to book us at our preferred lodge, Sarova Mara Game Camp. He was able to book our hot air balloon ride and our village visit.
Once we arrived, Eddie was waiting for us at the airport and was our guide throughout the tour. He was knowledgable and friendly, timely, and experienced. The lodge accommodations were nice and the buffet was really good. The wifi was a bit spotty. Eddie was able to bring us back to the airport also when the tour was over.
We also chose this company because they had an ideal cancellation policy. We arrived a bit late on day one but we were able to fit in an evening game drive for one hour or so. The next day we did a full-day game drive and then went to the village in the early evening. The last day we did the hot air balloon ride in the early morning and then left for the airport.
It's important to note that with the 3-day option, you only get ONE FULL DAY for the game drive. But given that we've been on safari before it was enough for us. I'd recommend this tour company. Lastly, they went out of their way to return a lost item to me. Which I really appreciated.

Incredible Safari
I am very happy that I chose this company for doing an incredible 10-Day-Safari in Kenya. I spent 1 night in Nairobi, 2 in Amboseli, 1 in Lake Naivasha and 6 in Masai Mara. Peter organized the trip and the communication with him was great and easy. My guide for the whole trip was Edward and I can highly recommend to ask for him as your tour guide. He really made the safari special. I had a very good time with him and we had a lot of great sightings: an inredible amount of lions, cheetahs, leopards (all the big cats also with cubs and also lions and leopards mating), servals, a rhino, river crossings and so much more animals (elephants, buffalos, antelopes, monkeys...) and experiences. I have never seen so much on safari before! Edward always tried to get the car in the best position for viewing the animals so that I could get great photos. It was nice that everything was organized and I did not had to worry about anything but could enjoy every minute of the safari. The accomodations suggested by Peter were also great. I will never forget this holiday and have so many great memories of this trip. When I come back to Kenya, I will definitely book a trip with Edward and organized by Peter again!
Asante Edward and Peter!

Great experience!
We took 2 days safari in Amboseli National Park, it was an amazing experience with great guides. We discussed with Peter, via phone and e-mail about every detail of the trip without any hesitation.
Our guides, Edward and John were adaptable, responsive, with a true passion for making our journey as delightful as possible. Highly recommended!!

First class luxury wildlife adventure
We have never been on safari before and we booked this based on reviews and also that the accomodation seemed to be within the wildlife parks.
We came into contact with Peter and he was very clear about costs and the itenary, he helped to reassure us that we would be refunded if covid issues meant we couldnt travel from Sweden.
We didnt really expect the accomodation to be so luxurious, and we didnt realise that the tour was only for us. We were the only ones in the large 4x4 safari vehicle so we had great service from our two guides Edward and John. Between them they had over 25 years experience. I was baffled how they could find their way around the vast parks without using any kind of map. They were great spotters and we managed to see the big 5 and so much more because of them. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this company to anyone who wants a great personal experience with top class service and accomodation.
Note about Covid issues in Kenya. On our last day (March 26 2021) the Kenyan goverment introduced new restriction, preventing travel between many regions of Kenya and caused the closing pubs in certain regions, with only take away food allowed. The Curfew time in Nairobi was reduced to 20:00 for instance. So this might affect future safaris in the region unfortunately. Please check the Kenyan goverment web site or contact Peter at Africa Flash Mc Tours and Travel.

Incredible experience on 4 day Safari for Tsavo East, West, and Amboseli
I had an amazing experience while out on safari with Africa Flash. When I first inquired about doing a 4 day safari from Mombasa that took me to Tsavo East, West, Amboseli, and eventually back to Nairobi I got a very quick response from Peter. Any emails with any questions, were answered very quickly as well. Because of his quick and thorough responses I was at ease for this trip. Not only was it my first trip to Africa but it was also my first time traveling by myself and thanks to Peter and my safari driver Simon, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. All accommodations were taken care of before my arrival so I didn’t have a single worry. My driver Simon was just a really cool guy that made the entire solo experience much better. I felt like I was driving with a friend as opposed to just a guide. He was very knowledgeable about all of the animals and about the Kenyan culture. If I ever do have the pleasure of coming back to Kenya, I would definitely book with them again and I would certainly refer them to friends and family.

The BEST trip of my life
This was my first safari experience and it was absolutely AMAZING!
I traveled from the US and worked with Peter to plan the trip and make my payment and he was so professional, kind, and prompt with his responses so he made the process very smooth and comfortable. My tour guide was Edward and he is the BEST! Edward knew so much about the animals and the land we were exploring. He does his job SO great and I’m so happy we had him as our guide. We got to see ALL of the Big 5 and Edward even taught me some Swahili! I would highly recommend this adventure for anyone, you will absolutely love it!

The best experience EVER
I took a 4 day 3 night safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru in February 2021 and had an AMAZING time. Peter was nothing but professional and trustworthy. I couldn't have had a better experience on our safari. Our guide's name was Edward and he was outstanding. Edward knew ALL of the animals and was a pleasure to be around and is now a new friend. I feel lucky that we were able to have Edward as our guide. We saw ALL of the big five several times. The hotel accommodations and food that we had was also outstanding. The safari vehicle was very big and powerful. This was a trip of a lifetime. I did all of my research and chose this particular company based on the reviews and the good things people said about Peter and boy were they right. Do not choose another company, this is the best. Our guide Edward was such a pleasure and made our experience that much more valuable. I saw so many animals it was like being in a movie. I am so happy that I chose this company and wouldn't recommend anyone else. Peter and Edward are amazing people. I have not one criticism of anything on this safari. There is not one thing that could've been better. The trip was 10 out of 10, just wonderful. You can't go wrong with this safari, I am forever thankful
Wonderful Experience!! :D
The communication was good, Peter replied to all our queries, he even helped us decide which camp was good to stay in at the Mara and we were impressed.
0ur guide John was very knowledgeable about the animals and we learned a lot and he made sure we got to see all the big 5 animals and others. There was no problem he couldn’t solve and he was very nice all the way.
They gave us one of the best experience and we must say John was an amazing tour guide he made sure we had a good experience .
We were amazed by how good the service was.
Highly recommend and it was money well spent.
