Made A Dream Safari Come True
Starting seven years ago through a work project, I dreamt of going to Ol Pejeta Conservancy and see the last two Northern White Rhinos. After some 2025 summer plans fall through, I saw the opportunity to make the dream possible and I went looking for a tour company that would be able to get me to Ol Pejeta for at least two days within my budget as a solo female traveler. After combing through many different safari companies and their offerings, I saw Africa Flash McTours & Travel and they had a two-night, three-day safari to Ol Pejeta within my budget and at the accommodation that I wanted to stay at (Serena Sweetwaters, which was a wonderful place to stay as the staff was great) as it was within Ol Pejeta itself. Before going on trip, my email correspondence with Peter was great. He answered my questions and concerns. For my trip itself, I had Felix as my driver/guide. Because it was just me, he was very flexible on what we did for all of our game drives. He was knowledgeable and friendly. And yes, I got to see the last two Northern White Rhinos. I think that for me and my limited time in Kenya, the safari was a perfect pick. I hope that the next time I'm in Africa, I will book with Africa Flash McTours again.

Unforgettable Safari and Beach Escape in Kenya
Our safari in Kenya was an unforgettable adventure! From the moment we started planning, the owner, Peter, made everything easy—always responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Our driver/guide was reliable and got us safely to where we needed to be. The game drives and animal sightings were absolutely incredible. We loved every moment of seeing the animals up close in their natural habitat. The accommodations at each hotel were comfortable and well-managed, and ending our journey with a relaxing stay at the Diani Beach Resort was the perfect touch. Truly a trip we’ll never forget!

Africa Flash McTours & Travel Review
12 days: Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari
We are a mid-60s couple that just completed the 12 day Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari with our mid-30s daughter and son-in-law. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in an extensive safari experience.
We were extremely pleased with our overall experience with Africa Flash McTours. Our travel contact Peter Macharia was always responsive to our questions and helped us design the trip we wanted. Wire transfers from USA have a unfavorable transaction fee so we recommend credit card payments despite 3 % fee. Although there were two nights where we were sent to different lodgings due to a booking error, the substitute lodgings were wonderful.
Our two trip guides/drivers were Simon (in Kenya) and Esa (Tanzania) …both were OUTSTANDING! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting both of them ….they were excellent, safe drivers and awesome at pointing out wildlife sightings. They also ensured a very smooth border transfer for us from Kenya-Tanzania-Kenya.
Both Simon and Esa made sure to find out what our priorities were as well as preferences for various game drives. Simon also went above and beyond to accompany members of our group in the Hell’s Gate area since some of our party did not wish to join the Bicycle Safari.
Lodging – All of the lodging was quite comfortable (and often luxurious to those of us accustomed to backpacking!) with ensuite bathrooms. Hot water was available at all locations except one tent camp …not a big deal considering you could watch mongoose, jackals and antelopes run by your porch! Buffet style food available at all camps…we were pleasantly surprised at the variety and quality ….and yes, we all gained weight!
We were exceptionally lucky to see an amazing number of animals as well as experiencing the differences among the various national parks. A few of the travel days were quite long…and unfortunately one or two days were on pretty rough roads resulting in significant “African Massage” treatments ….something to note if anyone has back issues. However, as an avid amateur photographer, it was well worth it in exchange for the amazing animal encounters we experienced.
In summary, we would highly recommend Africa Flash McTours & Travel.

Very professional and knowledgeable
My Wife and I were very happy with our Flash MC safari. We toured Kenya and Tanzania, and both drivers were friendly and knowledgeable about the animals and history of the area. Our drivers did a great job of putting us in the best location to see the big 5 and the wildebeest migration. All the accommodations and food were superb. The only issue we had was on the last day our Kenyan vehicle broke down. Another vehicle was quickly found to take us to Nairobi, were Peter, the owner of Flash MC, personally picked us up and drove us to the airport. I was hesitant in the beginning to book a safari, having never been to Africa before and all the different safari companies. However if I was to go back I would choose Flash MC in a heart beat.

Amazing 14 day customised Safari & beach trip
We organised a custom 14 day Kenya Safari and beach trip with Peter and from the beginning he was so helpful. I asked for multiple quotes for many many different camp and hotel options and each time Peter would provide a quick response and give a breakdown on costs which made it so much easier to help decide which places we wanted to stay.
The process of payment was easy and efficient, we paid 50% deposit and the rest was paid around 1 month before the trip.
Everything about booking this trip ran so smoothly and this continued once landing in Kenya. Our drivers were always on time and so lovely. If we had any queries during our stay, Peter always responded so quick to our WhatsApp messages and was on hand to advise of times of pick ups/drop offs etc.
We had Anthony who picked us up from the airport to our hotel in Nairobi, drove us to the elephant sanctuary & giraffe Sanctuary and also made the 7hour trip dropping us off at our first camp! We stayed at two different camps within the Massai Mara region and then travelled to the coast for a beach stay returning to Narobi for one night before our flight home. The organisation from Peter was outstanding, he organised our transportation to the camps, organised our flights from the bush to the beach (which include the small safari link planes), every aspect of transport from the trip was organised by Peter and we couldn't be more grateful for his help and service.
This was our first ever trip on a safari and also to Kenya and the service from the team at Africa FlashMc could not have been better. We would definitely use them again for future trips and I would 100% recommend them.
Once again, a heartfelt thank you to Peter and the entire team. This truly was a trip of a lifetime, and it wouldn’t have been possible without all of you!
(p.s As we stayed in conservancies, we had specific drivers from the camps for our game drives therefore didn't have the tour guides from Africa FlashMc conducting these, hence why we haven't commented on that aspect.)

Safari of a lifetime, made possible by the best wildlife spotter Edward
Unbelievable 3 day/2n safari with our guide Edward! Peter made planning extremely easy. Communication was great, and he was very accommodating. Arranging to pick us up from our Airbnb in Nairobi and at the end, and dropping us at our next destination in Naivasha.
Our guide, Edward, has to be one of the very best in the game. He was able to spot animals without binoculars in a way that extremely impressed me. He went above and beyond to coordinate with other drivers to find all the big game for us- cheetah, lions, leopards, etc. He also taught us a ton, identifying 32 different species of animals for us. He is extremely knowledgeable and was very friendly.
We researched high and low before making the decision to go with Flash McTours and are very glad with our choice. We highly recommend these guys and hope to be back soon!

A tour well organized and made great by our tour guide Anthony
The tour was very well organized. Our tour guide Anthony accompanied us for the whole week and made the trip a unique experience. He is able to spot even the most hidden animals, knows their habits and explains many things about their life and habitat. Anthony was always available, pleasant, punctual and he is an excellent driver, which is not easy on the roads of Kenya! The jeep has a roof that can be opened to see outside and I recommended to have binoculars in case the animals are hidden or far. The lodges where we stayed were equipped with all comforts and the food is suitable for all needs. The agency is reliable and respects the established program, there was just a last minute variation in the lodge but it was solved. The tour is absolutely recommended and, if you go, ask to be taken around by Anthony!

Trip of a lifetime
Three of us booked a five day safari with Africa Flash Tours and we couldn't have been more happy. Flash Tours very flexible and adapted to our plans and the safari was well planned and supported. Their suggestions for places to stay and adventures were all perfect and of excellent quality. Our fantastic tour guide was Edward - he was knowledgeable, enthusiastic (as excited about seeing a Rhino as we were!), had great vision, a good sense of humor, and was an excellent driver.

Amazing experience - bad organisation
I did a 6 day safari and the organisation here was very poor. Despite being assured i’d have plenty of time for my flight out of kenya, i almost missed my flight whilst the driver insisted in dropping every other person off first as it was a more convenient route for him (they were travelling between 4 hours to 1 day after me, so not urgent and dropping me off first would have added max 15mins to his driving). Everyday of the safari there was a late pickup, a failure to communicate changes in the schedule. What was worse that the driver generally seemed to have not been told, or had forgot, the agenda of my tour from the africa flash so was constantly asking me things I had not been told either (eg the name/phone number of the driver i was going to be dropped off with for the next days, where the meeting point was).
I’m an easygoing traveller and usually dont mind this sort of thing on normal holidays but when you’ve paid a lot of money (as these safaris are expensive) you do expect that the organisation at the very least would be in place.
In retrospect, i think it would have been less stressful and cheaper booking the hotels, transfers and safaris myself. Even one of the hotels I booked in the tour was not where I ended up staying because according to the tour operator supposedly the hotel had overbooked so I needed to be moved to another hotel (given all of the other things i experienced - i suspect that they had just failed to book my hotel).
I’m giving it two stars because despite my complaints above i did have a wonderful experience, i’m just not sure how much the tour organiser contributed to that.

Posted on Nov 7, 2024Dear Elliott,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry that we did not meet your expectations. Creating a seamless and enjoyable safari experience is our goal, and we apologize for any stress or inconvenience you encountered.
It’s concerning to hear about the issues with pick-up times and communication around your itinerary. We recognize that, as a Group Joining Safari with guests staying at various hotels, staggered pick-up times can lead to delays. However, this should have been clearly communicated, and we’re addressing this internally to ensure all guides are fully briefed on each guest’s itinerary, especially for group safaris. We're sorry for any impact this had, particularly regarding your timely arrival for your flight.
We also understand the disappointment of an unexpected accommodation change. Unfortunately, due to an overbooking for one of the nights, we made the decision to upgrade your stay to Basecamp Masai Mara and adjusted your safari to be private in the Masai Mara. Our aim was to maintain the quality and comfort of your experience, and we regret any inconvenience caused.
Thank you again for your constructive feedback. We’re pleased that you were able to enjoy Kenya’s beauty, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide the experience we strive to deliver for all our guests.
Warm regards,
Peter M

Unforgettable Kenyan Safari: A Perfect Family Adventure with African Flash McTours
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya with my fourteen-year-old daughter, organized by African Flash McTours & Travel. From the moment we landed, the entire experience was smooth and professional, thanks to our tour consultant, Eston Manegene, and our phenomenal guide, Simon.
Simon's expertise and passion for the wildlife and local culture truly elevated the trip. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals and shared fascinating insights into the ecosystem and Masai Mara'sMara's rich history. Whether it was our first exhilarating game drive or witnessing the majestic lion pride, Simon ensured we had front-row seats to the magic of the African savanna.
Our accommodations within the Masai Mara National Reserve were comfortable and a sanctuary amidst the wild beauty. Every detail—from the delicious meals to the stunning landscapes—was well-coordinated, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Highlights of the trip included the iconic migration of wildebeests, a serene balloon safari, and a heartwarming visit to a traditional Masai village, where we were welcomed with songs and dances that left a lasting impression.
African Flash McTours provided exceptional service, ensuring our safety and comfort at every step. Simon's guidance made this experience one that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the wild beauty of Kenya. Every moment was well-paced, safe, and thrilling—a perfect adventure for families or anyone eager to immerse themselves in nature.
This is an excellent choice for anyone considering a safari. You'll leave with memories to treasure for a lifetime!
