This is our first tour with Flash Safari and we were very impressed.
Henry very patiently dealt with our changes to the original itinerary before we arrived, making the whole process easy. The tour was great. Our guide, Emanuel, was friendly and informative. The accommodation was fantastic. It was an experience beyond belief to be so close to giraffes as they munched on bushes, to see a leopard haul it’s prey up into a tree, to watch a lioness stalk her prey and so many other special moments. I would highly recommend using Flash Safari as a tour organizer.

Wonderful!
This was our 4th trip to Tanzania and once again we used Flash. All four of our trips have been great, we worked with Henry in planning our trip to Ruaha and Selous, he arranged our flights within Tanzania and the tented camps. Everything went smoothly from our flights to the camps. The camps we stayed at were excellent. The communication with Henry throughout our planning for this trip was excellent. One of the reasons that I have used Flash for the four trips we have gone on is because they responded right away with any questions I had and we never had any issues on the trips we have taken arranged by them. I would highly recommend Flash in planning a safari.
Unforgettable Honeymoon Experience
We planned this trip with Flash Safari for our honeymoon not knowing what to expect. It was our first time in Tanzania and we wouldn’t change the experience at all. Henry was excellent help in booking and answering our questions. Our guide Rajabu was knowledgeable, friendly and kept us feeling safe the entire time. He took my husband’s allergies very seriously and went out of his way to make sure each place we stayed had safe food for him to eat. We were sad to leave him at the end of our trip and feel like we have a friend in Tanzania for life. Rajabu worked hard to show us how special each park was and give us so many unique experiences such as lions hunting, cheetahs and leopards and the migration of wildebeest and zebras. The accommodations were a good mix of relaxing/luxurious and a real tent experience in the Serengeti. Everywhere we stayed we were met with lovely staff and great food.
We feel like the trip was well valued and we’re very impressed with the price. We will be recommending Flash Safaris and Rajabu to all of our friends who plan to visit Tanzania.

Tip Top Safari
We had planned to go to Tanzania with Flash Safaris in 2020, but Covid caused a 2 year delay. But it was worth waiting! We already had a positive feeling while planning the trip in 2020, as Flash very well listened to our preferences for our family of 5 with 3 teenagers. For example, a moutain bike trip was included to fit our plan. Charles was an excellent driver and guide with a large knowledge of the parks and the many animals we saw (and yes...including the big 5). All was arranged timely and according to plan. All in all; we had an excellent trip with Flash that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We can strongly recommend Flash as a reliable partner. A five star review is a no-brainer.

Fantastic trip
It was my second time after 2019, going on a safari trip with flash safari, and both trips became unforgettable! The Lodges and Camps were beautiful and great located, we had fantastic food, all of them were clean. Meleck our guide did a fabulous job, we've seen so much animals, even a lioness hunting, a cheetah hunting with 4 cubs, a leopard in the morning, climbing down the tree, lots of baby animals! Everything worked out well, and I hope to come back one time!

Trip of my lifetime with Flash Safari!
I travelled with Flash Safari two times already, first time in 2019, second time in 2022. I focus on wildlife photography and was very happy with the service Flash provided. Both times their service was excellent and we had a great time exploring Tanzania. Communication was friendly and professional from the beginning. The camps they chose were very good and the value for money excellent. Great locations, very clean and great food! Pick up and transfers happened on time and very reliable. Our guide, Meleck, was the best dafari guide one could wish for. Very good knowledge of the bush and the behavior of the animals, very patient and always looking to give us the best possible angle for photography. It's important to point out, that the guide is experienced with photographers and knows how to give them the best experience. The tour 2019 was already great, 2022 surpassed this by far. The animal encounters we had were incredible. We even got to experience a hunting lion as well as a cheetah hunting for gazelles. To sum up, I can only recommend Flash for exploring Tanzania and I can't wait to come back in September 2022!

professionnal organizer listening what you would like to get!
Second time with Flash. But this time I brought my familly and we were 7 to come.
What an amazing tour!
we saw again the 5 bigs and many others with extraordinary time. Our 2 guides have an eagle view and they can see what you cannot see.
The selection of the lodges and hotels were perfect and always super place with confort and excellent service . a good balance between the confort and the respect of the nature and the local people.
I will highly recommend FLASH. But the key is to tell them what you like and do not like and if you do not know please listen to them. They will select a good trip for you. (as they did for us)
At last thank you again to the Flash Team who made my best hollidays of my life!

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!
