We did two safaris with Flash Safari and both times we felt very safe and comfortable.
We went to Serengeti, to Ngorongoro and to Tarangire with Flash Safari and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our well experienced driver and guide showed us Tanzania at its best. We were impressed by the wildlife and the friendliness of the Tanzanian people and although we enjoyed the luxury of being almost the only guests in the well-selected lodges we felt at the same time sorry for the lonesome staff in the lodges, the restaurants and the agencies.
We are very sure to come back as soon as possible and of course we will choose Flash Safari for our next trips into the Tanzanian wilderness.

Corona Escape Vacation
It was a last second decision to fly to Tansania but Flash Safari did an excellent job and organized everything fast and great. The whole trip was just awesome. First we climbed the Kilimanjaro with a nice team with guides and porters. To stand at the top of Africa by ourselves was breathtaking. Then the safari to the Serengeti was also unbelievable. We saw the big fives all in one day. The great migration over the Mara River was impressive. And all that we could enjoy with a great driver and almost no tourists. At the end we flew over to Sansibar for a relaxing week. To see the blue sea and the white sand was a great final for our vacation.
For us this decision to travel to Tansania at this time was the best choice! It is safe to travel and no restrictions. To see the friendly and happy people makes us to return soon!

Honeymoon safari
First of all, we had a great time. We have been picked up at the airport by Edward. Beforehand we were warned that the roads aren’t that good at Afrika and we would get an African massage. Nothing was lied about that. After arriving at the lodge we had a resting day. We already had our briefing in the Netherlands where we met up with Magda and Adam. So the only thing we got was our tickets to ZANZIBAR. Our guide Franky was amazing. He picked us up at 8am and off we went to our bike tour and find the wild animals. Already on the first day we saw a lot and he explained everything nicely and made sure we got to make a lot of pictures. After a few days we said what we would like to see. And because it was very wet everywhere there was a chance that we could get stuck, but we got everywhere to see those amazing animals. And yes we got stuck but that’s part of the adventure when you go to Africa and a risk that we were willing to take. Franky has made sure that we have seen the big five and more amazing animals. We are very lucky that we have seen so many animals during this season as the grass was very high. Take you so much for taking care of us. He is a great driver as he was always careful. We had an amazing adventure!

Kilimanjaro Trekking and Safari - both excellent!!
All very well organized!
Perfect customer care from arriving at the airport until we left again.
Our trip was not a standard one but was customized specifically for us, which went very well due to knowledge of Magda and her team.
- Safari guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. Car was a 4WD and in really good condition!
- Also the Kilimanjaro trekking was organized really well: perfect team and guides that made the climb very enjoyable for us!
Only good stuff to say about Flash Safari tours.

Our first African safari: An amazing experience.
Based on our experiences, Flash Safari proved to be a capable and competent organization whom did not disappoint in regards to our first foray into the African bush (we chose the Northern Circuit Safari). Not everything went perfectly smooth, but these hiccups had nothing to do with Flash Safari itself. And, sure, there are a couple things I would do differently in the future. But none of these things proved to be deal-breakers. Remember: you are in Africa and, moreso, in the middle of the African bush. But the greatest deal-maker for us was our blessed luck to have an amazing guide - Loi Kipuyo. Loi was the icing on the cake. He proved to be an extremely knowledgeable, patient and affable guy. I have absolutely no complaints about his driving skills and talents and my family and I all felt very safe while getting "African massaged" along the roads of Tanzania (my accompanying family's ages ranged from 11 to 65). His uncanny knack for spotting creatures left us all amazed and his knowledge of these animals (and insects and flora) was demonstrated over and over. Honestly, the guy knew his way around every town, park and backroad as if he had a GPS system in his own brain. Going into this trip, I was ignorantly unaware that our guide would be with us throughout the bulk of our sojourn. All day together - breakfast to supper. Loi felt like an extended family member by the time he dropped of us at the airport.
Overall, tremendous experience. My family would recommend Flash Safari, just as it was recommended to us by an acquaintance. If you can get Loi to escort you on your adventure, all the better.

We have been on two wildlife safaris with Flash Safaris (2014, 2017) and both were excellent.
All very good. Both drivers were safe and knowledgeable. We were picked up from the airport on arrival and deposited back to the airport on departure. The 4WD's were in good condition so we had trouble free travelling. The standard of accommodation was 3-star, which is better than what we hoped for at these competitive prices.

Professional and correct
Our third safari with Flash safaris. Again a wonderfull experience, seeing Tarangire with the animals and baobabs again followed by a three day safari in the Sereneti. Lots of animals, beautifull and super wide sceneries.
Our guide and good friend by now was Abraham. He was our guide during our first trip to the Seregeti eight years ago. We were very happy to meet again.

Amazing honeymoon
The safari defined lived up to our expectations. All the accomodations were very beautiful, clean and simply amazing. We did had some issues with our car but luckily also a great guide. After the safari we also had a great stay in Zanzibar, organised by flash.
Overall our honeymoon was really great and we enjoyed everything. Many thanks to flash and in particular Magda and our guide Meshack

An awesome trip of Northern Safari circuit
Our trip to Tanzania was all that we hoped for and more. We were greeted by our guide Adam on the first day. He was extremely friendly, a safe driver and very knowledgeable about the animals. We then proceeded to Arusha National park, lake manyara, ngorogoro crater and tarangire. They were all great places. We saw 4 out of the big 5. All our accommodation went to plan and the catering was excellent. The trip was well planned and would definitely recommend Flash. Make sure you ask for Adam the Safari guide!

An Awesome Experience!
This was our third Safari with Flash and once again we were not disappointed. Magda is so responsive to my e-mails answering any questions and taking care of every detail to ensure we have a wonderful experience. The camps she selected for us were very nice and our guide was experienced, pleasant, and made sure we enjoyed our safari. We were fortunate to see all of the big 5 on this trip as well as the migration crossing the Mara river. It was an amazing trip and I wouldn’t even consider any other safari company to arrange my future trip. I knew I was in good hands with Flash from the moment we landed to our last day saying goodby to Edward, her partner at the airport. The communication with Flash made me feel I had nothing to worry about, I knew we would be taken care of by Magda and Edward and they did not disappoint. I hope to return with my daughter and granddaughter in 2 years and Flash will be who I will go with.
