Best Travel Experience Ever Had! Thank You So Much!
We've finished our first trip to Kenya last week with the help of this company and we (me, my mother and my cousin) all really appreciate Africa Flash Mc Tours' service. I think they're the best of all the TOs you can find in Kenya.
Peter is our operator and he arranged all the things we need, including a totally customized plan which only includes places I was interested in. Usually, these companies always have various packages to choose from, and some I've been talking to only offer packages. Peter is really nice because he listens to our thoughts, interests and he just figured out a plan which is based on the information we gave him.
Basically, we'd like to go safari in Massai Mara and some other national reserves to see something different, then end our trip in Mombasa because we'd like to spend some more days on the beach by ourselves. Peter then arranged a 3-day safari in Massai Mara and trips to Lake Naivasha, Amboseli National Reserve and East Tsavo National Reserve (which are all on the way to our final destination Mombasa) for us. Our driver drove us to the accommodation in Diani Beach and went back to Nairobi alone without charging any extra money. (Some other companies charge for that or simply do not provide this kind of service)
Our driver Edward is professional and well hearted. To be honest I usually put little trust on travel guides and drivers and barely hire one when traveling the other countries. In Africa, I had to hire one because I couldn't handle it and this time I travel with my family. It turned out that choosing Africa Flash as our TO was the best decision I've made in the entire 2017 because they've got Edward as our driver.
Edward drives very safely, and he always knows the best route to the spot where animals are witnessed on the grassland as soon as he hears from the radio - faster than the other vehicles! Edward is also good at spotting animals by himself, including lions. So sometimes we've been the first one to look at lions from different angles freely because no others are around.
In the first 24 hrs of our safari, we've seen all the big five. And all safari days were full of new surprises. We've even witnessed the whole process of a cheetah hunting and eating a young antelope, a female lion eating a zebra, a big family of over 15 lions resting together and more and more and more...
Without Edward, these just couldn't happen.
The accommodations were also the best ones I've stayed in my entire life (although I'm still 26). We've chosen the luxury grade of the trip at a discounted price provided by Peter and that's also a wise decision to make. However, if you'd like to save more money, they have even cheaper plans available. Come on, it's a lifetime experience so there's no reason for one to focus on the budget, it will definitely worth every cent of your money!
I'd like to say thank you to Peter and Edward and Africa Flash for all the things. Thank you for making it a wonderful trip I will never forget!

Incredible Experience with an amazing guide!!
My friend and I went on the 6-day safari at the beginning of December, travelling to Masai Mara National Park, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli National Park. From the beginning, Peter was excellent with providing information and answering any questions we had prior to arriving in Kenya. We paid in full prior to arriving and it was seamless. Leonard was our guide and he was fantastic, so easygoing and pleasant to spend the week with; we were very lucky to be the only 2 people to book that safari for the week so had the vehicle to ourselves! Unlimited bottled water was provided as well as a set of binoculars, though they weren't great, so I would still suggest to bring your own. The parks were incredible and our safari drives were always as long as we wanted them to be (within park operating hours). Each of the "budget" safari camps that we stayed blew me away with the level of luxury provided, all the meals were great, as was the service and amenities at each one. We stayed at Olda Poi Safari Camp, Flamingo Hill Resort and Kibo Safari Camp, which Peter was able to upgrade us to during the week which was gorgeous! I would highly recommend gong with Africa Flash MC Tours and will not hesitate to book with them again when I return to Africa!!!! Thank you Peter and Leonard for everything!!!! :)

Awesome tour!!
I had a hard time finding any tour company to arrange a safari for one person. I wanted to join a group but all seemed impossible and way expensive until I made contact with Mr Peter ( the Manager). In a short time, he planned a private safari to Maasai Mara for 3days and Lake Nakuru for a day trip. The trip was very well organised. My tour guide/driver made all tge arrangements. Being my second safari to both Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru, I had the best experience...
I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants everything well planned in Kenya or other African countries.

Great communication and service
Really enjoyed our 3 day luxury safari in Samburu. Peter maintained good communication leading up to the trip. They were also able to accommodate a customization to the standard itinerary, which we appreciated. Our driver and guide, Edward, was very personable and shared a lot of good information about the animals. The lodging accommodations at Sarova Shaba were also quite good, with beautiful grounds overlooking the river and great service.

Wonderful Kenyan experience!
Peter’s did a wonderful job from start to finish to make our first trip to Africa as smooth and unforgettable as possible. Right away during my inquiry, Peter’s professional communication stood out among others. He answered all questions and concerns and made thoughtful suggestions. We thought the proposed itinerary was perfect, as everyday was better than the day before for the standpoint of what we saw and experienced. We met other tourists who went to Maisa Mara NP (the best of the best)in the beginning and it seemed nothing interested them to the same level in their safari afterwards. Our driver was John l, who I now wouldn’t want anyone else. We were always the first vehicle on the chase for any major animal sighting. I think he had a network of other drivers who all share info on where the animals can be spotted. We were always confused how he knew where certain animals were located. He was capable of answering questions we had about the local people to the cultures to the economy to animals. He also introduced us to great amount of non tourist areas. The only suggestion I could make is that the agency should inform the guests about the rough driving conditions. The travel time given on our itinerary were under estimated by 2-3 hrs at times. Even though it goes without speaking for Africa, a good portion of roads were more of a roller coaster ride that takes a toll on your body and energy. And should be taken into consideration for people in different conditions during their planning. Also, some advice on the souvenir markets would help. We were constantly approached by sellers throughout the trip and never knew the etiquette or fair price of negotiation. Either way, I have no complaint about Peter’s company. I highly recommend his service.

Unique safari experience
I did the 6 day Masai Mara-Lake Nakuru-Amboseli Safari in November 2017. In advance I compared the offers of various tour providers and found the offer of Flash Mc Tours as the best value for money. The communication with Peter was easy and the transfer of the down payment was straightforward.
I was picked up from my hotel in Nairobi and we drove directly to Masai Mara, where we spent two nights at Lenchada camp. We took extensive game drives. I was surprised at the big herds of animals. Lions, cheetahs and even a leopard we got to face.
Then we drove to Lake Nakuru Park. The park is impressed by the large lake with swarms of flamingos and pelicans. We could watch rhinos and the rare Rothschild giraffes. After the half-day game drive, we made our way to the Amboseli National Park, which we reached in the evening.
In Amboseli Park we stayed for two nights in the Kibo Safari Camp. On our game drives we saw large elephant and buffalo herds grazing in the marshes. On the last day the Kilimanjaro passed us, which had shrouded itself in clouds until then.
Now we took the road down to Mombasa. After 10 hours of strenuous ride we finally arrived at my hotel in Diani-Beach towards evening.
Thanks to the perfect organization, the Safari with Flash Mc Tours was a unique experience that exceeded my expectations by far. Although it was supposed to be a budget safari, the accommodations were remarkably comfortable, especially the Kibo Safari Camp in Amboseli.
I saw all of the Big Five. My drivers Edward and Johnny proved to be excellent track readers. They never crowded and there was always enough time to observe the individual animals extensively.
All in all, I can only recommend the Safari with Flash MC Tours.

Amboseli to the Coast - Amboseli / Tsavo
This safari was organised at the last minute, and tailored to my request. Everything, was exemplary. Right from the booking process - timely, succinct, communication - made me felt confident with booking this company. The safari itself was a pick up in Nairobi one night in Amboseli, one in Tsavo - all excellent. The guide was informative, and respectful of all our wishes. We felt welcomed, and the value for money was fantastic (this was a private safari for two). I've done more than ten safari holidays, and can honestly say this was by far and away the best value, and also one of the best experiences.
I can thoroughly recommend booking with this firm. Kenya of cause speaks for itself.. GO.

11 days Kenya and Tanzania safari tour
As a group of friends, we went to a11 days Kenya@Tanzania safari tour in September. We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Serengeti, Arusha and Ngorongoro.We all had a fantastic time and we all fell in love with Africa people and wildlife. I'd like to thank our drivers Leonardo and Azaria for being knowledgeable, friendly, light and happy people, big hug to our wonderful cook Jumo, especially for his soups:)) Personally I'd like to say hello to Masai boy Luka, who taught us about Masai traditions and culture and with whom we learned a Jumbo Bwana song and were singing it in the middle of the night in Masai Mara, because we were happy:))My best wishes to kids in Masai village we visited and their wonderful teacher Jackson(sorry to forgot his Masai name) Dear Peter, thanks for your hard work and effort in doing such a great job, our trip was unforgettable. I hope I can return to Africa one day and maybe clime a Kilimanjaro too:)) All the best in your mission! And I want to repeat after Azaria 'Serengeti shall never die!'
