"Out of Africa" revisited
We have had from an impressive visit to the beautiful nature of Tanzania with Flash Safaris .We had a busy program of 5 gamereserves (Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Arusha, Tarangire and Lake Manyara) and we enjoyed every minute of it ! Especially our guide Adam , who has 'eagle' eyes for spotting animals and can tell a lot more about animals and nature then you can imagine, now we know the diffrence between male and female girafshit ;-). And Adam doesnot go crazy like other, driving like madmen after the big 5. We saw them all too without racing !Ending in Zanzibar is fine but also a cultureshock, coming from nature into this touristic area, but nice to relax for a few days after a gametour. You must be a beachlover to stay longer on Zanzibar.
We took the ferry to Dar es Salaam and stayed there for a night in Tanzenite towers (good hotel in the city centre with a 24 hrs. airporttaxiservice) and flew back next day to the Netherlands. |Dar is interesting for a day and to see how fastgrowing this city is. But not a city to visit for more then one day.
More important: we were very satisfied about how Magda and Edward from Flash Safaris organised it al. Came with a good proposal , listened to our personal interests and translated that in our tripproposal and even arranged a desired visit to an hospital.
Tented lodging is a very good way to stay in the reserves and the food is ok and the people very nice.
For dutch travellers: take care that distance doesnot count in Tanzania and you sit quite some time in the jeep, but with water and food on board it is really good (Picknicking with monkeys on your side). We loved our trip to Tanzania and will certainly book our next goal (Climbing \Kilimanjaro) with Flas Safaris.

One of our greatest holidays
We've had a fantastic holiday that we will remember for a very long time. The communication by mail to find out which part of Tanzania we wanted to visit was very pleasant. Mrs. Freys really took her time to find out what we wanted. She has arranged a holiday for us according to our wishes and everything was perfect. She booked our flights, arranged the transfers etc.
We felt very welcome when we arrived in Kilimanjaro and she an her colleague came to pick us up. The accommodations in which we stayed were very good. The tents were spacious, the food was excellent, even for vegetarians. And we were lucky to be in the slow season so we were able to have a car for ourselves almost everyday. We have seen a lot of animals and can recommend the combination Ruaha - Selous. The guides and cars they used at the lodges were very good. And also our accommodation on Mafia was great. Friendly, welcoming people, beautiful dive sites etc. We really had a wonderful time.
Wauw, wauw! Everything very good arranged! NeXT time again with Flash Safari's!
Everything was very good! We did not want to go home!
The guide was very good informed and leaded us to the most beautiful places. The lodges were as expected. As well the communication with Magda from Flash Safari's. She made oud dreams come true!
The holyday of our dreams.

Carefree adventure
We went to Tanzania in august 2014 with our family. The trip started for us at the first contact with Magda Vrijs. From that moment on we had a great time with the preparation of the trip. For us it was important that we could discuss our wishes and combine it with the ideas of Flash safari's. So it became a trip that was exactly what we hoped for.
We had a very kind guide who was helpfull and patient. Thanks to his 'good eyes' and knowledge of the nature, we did see a lot of beautiful things.
The lodges we have been were al very good. The staff was very helpful and the service was great. We met Magda and her businesspartner several times and we had a good time with them. It was all very relaxed.
If I think back and try to think about anything what could have been better, I realy do no know what to say. It was perfect organized and the people of Flash safaris where very kind and warm.
We could make this trip with our kids, because the prices were reasonable. So we would surely recommend Flash safaris to other people who have plans to go to beautiful Tanzania!

A great journey!
We have a trip with 6 adults and 5 children. We travelled with 2 jeeps en 2 great drivers. They were so kind to us and the children. They enjoyed there company. We made a trip to Lake Natron, Masai area. We stayed in Lake Natron tented camp where the Masai people work. Then we drived further to our project, a secondary school in Sale. Our drivers translated the Swahili language so we can communicated with the local children and teachers. Afther that we make a long and beautifull tour to the Serengeti where we slept for 2 nights. Our last stay was in Karatu, the Country lodge. Thank you Frankie and Melekjean for a wonderfull trip through a beautifull part of Tanzania. And thank you Magda and Edward voor the operational things you arranged for us. We enjoyed every minute and every place we have visit.

Safari was well prepared and at a good price considering that all 5 of us enjoyed each of the lodges
I am a biologist from Australia and this was my 8th African Safari so I helped my 4 colleagues to choose the best destinations with a reliable company. We found that the manageress, Magda, kept in regular contact with us and provided lodges and luxury camp site that were all very good. Overall I would say it was excellent value for money. We would recommend Flash Safaris and Photography for a wildlife African Safari.

an experience of a lifetime
In July we went on a vacantion to Tanzania / Zanzibar. It was to celebrate our 25th anniversary, together with our 2 daughters ( 21 / 23 yrs) . After searching the Internet and information from various travelagency's, I got into contact with Magda Vrijs from Flash Safaris. This Dutch lady lives and works inTanzania. My mail was promptly answered and after answering some questions, Magda came with several good ideas for a safari in Tanzania and a relaxing week on the Island of Zanzibar. When we wanted to change anything it was no trouble, and eventually there was the proposal for our trip. It was more then we had hoped for. The safari was wonderful, a great driver/guide ( Roger) we slept at beautiful lodges and saw the big 5 a so much more... In Tanzania we were picked up from the airport by Magda and her partner, they showed us around and helped us before we took off in our jeep. After a great week we were able to spent a few hours in the house of Magda to refresh before we flew to Zanzibar. There we had a terrific week at the beach.
This trip was truly an experience of a lifetime, well organised and for a very fair price!! We are planning to returning one day to visit more parcs, certainly organised by Flash Safaris again.

Unforgettable trip with Flash Safaris!
It was my first encounter with Africa so I must be honoust I was quite nervous what to expect. Flash Safaris, owner Magda Vrijs and all the guides who work for Flash are very aware of the fact that a first visit to Africa is a cultural shock. Step by step we got to see, and feel, and taste, more of this beautifull continent and offourse Tanzania in particular. Tanzania has so much to offer. It's landscapes and its wildlife is far beyond what you can imagine. We have had the luxury to travel to a few different countrys and even continents but the parks, the animals, the people in Tanzania.... it is unforgettable! Flash Safaris arranged for us a comfortable trip, a lovely and experienced driver/guide and it was worth every dollar!
