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

Great Route & Awesome Guide
We had a great experience booking our honeymoon with Magda. She is very responsive with our communication and ensures the lodgings meet our expectations. Meleck John was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about the animals and birds. He was also familiar with the usual territories of predators given that he has 20 years of experience in the safari industry. Thanks to Magda and Meleck we had an amazing honeymoon for our first trip to Africa!

Flash is an excellent choice for your Safari
My wife and I have used Flash for two Safaris. Magda and company was very professional and trustworthy and delivered more than agreed on. They are experts in accommodations and areas that are a must while on Safari in Tanzania. I love to photograph wildlife and birds. 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.

Professional company with great knowledge of Tanzania and offers excellent equipped lodges.
We have had an overwhelming safari of 11 consecutive days. We visited NP Lake Manyara, NP Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, NP Tarangire, West Kilimanjaro, where we stayed in a Masai lodge and visited the nearby hospital of 2 Austrian doctors. Schools (boarding) have also been set up on site. The proceeds from the Masai lodge benefit the hospital and schools. Not only at the latter location we were extensively and well informed by the driver / guide of Flash Safaris. This involved all locations that we visited during the safari.
We first met the inhabitants of the village llkiding'a the first day at the foot of Mount Meru. Got a tour through the extensive living and living area and we enjoyed a traditional lunch.
Of course we have been 'on the hunt' for the wild game in the areas. We are very satisfied with this! From the big 5, we have had the lion, buffalo, leopard and elephant up close at hand several times. The guide came very close to the game in all cases. We were also literally in the middle of the annual migration of wildebeests and zebras! What an experience that was. Not to be missed were the beautiful film shots that we were able to make of giraffes, hippos, a pregnant cheetah, hyenas, gazelles, impalas, of course monkeys, a large variety of colorful birds, but also birds of prey. Especially the locations / landscapes at the Masai (view of Mt. Kilimanjaro!), Ndutu / Serengeti and Sangaiwe (NP Tarangire) have left us an indelible impression. The safari has 100% met our expectations, thanks to Flash (Magda and guide Adam). Our great appreciation for that!

Magda has put together our journey in such a way that all our wishes are met!
We had a very good guide, Radjabu, with which the communication was super! He knows a lot about wildlife and nature, in which we are optimally interested. He also has a lot of humor and that made it even more fun.
We have had a very varied journey, full of surprises, both in terms of wildlife, the locations, camping etc.
As icing on the cake and also the conclusion of our trip, the Maasai-Lodge, SO surprising and so PURE, great!
THANK YOU Magda, Eduard and Radjabu !!!
