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.

Our Time in Tanzania was amazing. We have seen a lot of animals (big five) during our safari.
Magda arranged our trip excellent. We took the Safari Northern Circuit & Zanzibar. We have seen a lot of beautiful parks. Specially thanks to our driver Adam who knows the Serengeti and the other parks very well. And he is an excellent driver and knows a lot about nature. All dinners en overnight stays were great. And every day a surprise. Thanks Flash Safaris for all your services

Well organized safari with good quality accommodations and professional guides
My husband and I booked the first part of our honeymoon (9 days safari through Northern Tanzania) with Flash Safari's. First we were affraid that an organized safari with Flash would be too expensive for us, but luckely Magda really thinks along and helped us to arrange a high quality safari matching our budget.
The safari was very well organized. The hotels (mostly) had a high standard, were clean and served good and varied food. Also we had one of the best guides we ever had during a safari trip. He did his absolute best to find the animals that we really wanted to see and made sure we had the best possible sight. We had a very comfortable and decent car.
Also our additional stay at the Masai Lodge was a highlight of our trip. We would not have chosen that ourselfs, but it was absolutely a experience to remember.
We organized the second part of our trip (Zanzibar-Mafia Island) by ourself. That is something I would recommend other travellers to do as well to reduce the costs of your trip.
We would like to thank Magda and her team for the amazing time and also for the nice extra attentions for our honeymoon. We allready recommended Flash to friends.

Easy to work with
We had a great time! Henry was very quick to respond to all our questions for the very beginning, and accommodated all our requests. Communication was easy and this was the main reason we went with FLASH anand they didn't disappoint.
We had no idea what to expect, but certainly the safari itself was amazing.
The tented camps we stayed in were better than expected in the Serengeti.
The safari itself, i think is highly dependent on the guide, their skill and experiencem We had an amazing guide, Kennedy, and that really made the whole safari for us.
We'd definitely recommend FLASH to our friends and family.

quick and efficient responses to requests
I made my initial contact with Flash Safaris through Safari Bookings. Once contact was made Henry, the sales rep made a very special effort to answer the very many questions I asked about the Safari, travel, payment, and all possible variations on the tour by phone and messages. He was particularly patient with my requests and demands.
Henry reassured us throughout this process and we ended up with a spectacular tour of Southern Tanzania.

Again an excellent safari with Flash Safari company
This was my 5th safari arranged by Magda and her team, and once again we had a fantastic experience. This time I took my mother of 80 years old on her first ever safari, and all our needs were taken care of. Our excellent guide, Chui, ensured that we had prime sightings of all the animals, and through his patience and good knowledge of animal behavior we saw not only the "normal" animals but also the rare Caracal and African Wild cat.
The safari vehicle had charging stations and a fridge wich ensured us comfort and convenience. Our guides' good humour also made all the hours in the car very enjoyable. Our wishes were listen to up front and we had a mix of accomodations ranging from safari tents to luxury hotel. At this time of year, Ndutu area is fantastic and we were lucky to see the migration close up. We ended the safari with a few days rest in Africa Amini Maasai Lodge (suggested by Magda) which was a fantastic experience, absolutely recommended.
I will for sure use Flash Safari again on my next safari in Tanzania

The guides used by Flash and very knowledgeable about what wildlife will be where, when. Flash is also affordable compaired to many company’s fare. You won’t regret using Flash for you Safari.

Fulfilling a lifetime desire to experience the African migrations for a disabled person!!!
My daughter, Sarah, and I just came back from the most exciting safari with Flash Safaris and Photography. In my case it was the fulfillment of a lifetime wish to go to Africa and see the wild animals, the migrations and also the research sites of the Leakey's. And since I'm an older fellow who uses a wheelchair full-time -- it's not easy. But Magda, Robert and Adam put together a Safari that worked so nicely for all my needs. They made it easy to get into and out of the safari vehicles and had checked the accessibility of all the accommodations. Awesome is an understatement!! It was a perfect safari experience.
We wish to specifically extend our thanks and gratitude to Magda Vrijs, Edward Mollel and Mtiro Adam of Flash Safaris and Photography . And Robert Stelling with Fika Safaris who did an excellent communications job regarding the accessibility needs.
Mtiro Adam was our Guide and Driver for the Safari and a wonderful companion. His knowledge of the wildlife and plants was amazing!!! Everywhere we went we saw others who clearly had a high respect for Adam.
My checklist for the safari was to visit Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti Plains, the Rift Valley and Olduvai Gorge (the Leakey's paleontology site). They designed a safari which covered all these objectives and many more!!
I would say, without a doubt, if you want to go to Africa and have a World-Class Experience - contact Flash Safaris -- they can make it happen for you!!!
Our best wishes to all -- Gary Elsner and Sarah Gualtieri

Experience of a lifetime
This was our first safari and we really didn't know what to expect but the experience was beyond our dreams. Flash is a very professional, trustworthy and well managed company. The 12 day safari was well planned with a lot of action as well as nicely planned rests. The hotels were five star and the best of all was our guide Melek, his name means angel in Arabic and he protected us like an angel! He is very experienced and professional and security conscious. I would highly recommend Flash and Melek.
