Professional and understanding of a family safari with young children
We travelled as a family of 4 with 2 kids (ages 2 and 4). We organised our own accommodation and contacted MC FLASH to enquire about a driver and safari guide from nairobi to amboseli national park. Other family members has used this company and had recommended
Peter from MC Flash, contacted me swiftly via WhatsApp with all relevant details. I found this very informative and Peter was very flexible with out needs, e.g. additonal car seats for each child with no additional cost. He was not pushy.
Our driver and guide, Anthony, was professional, prompt and very kind and understanding of our young family. He was a careful driver on challenging roads, gave us good advice about drive times to suit us but was very flexible. He was good at spotting wildlife, with good knowledge and shared his brilliant binoculars.
We travelled the 5 hour journey to amboselli on day one, enjoyed lunch and a quick swim on our arrival at our safari lodge (Kilma safari lodge, great for kids), before a late afternoon game drive, with the highlight of elephants close up.the second day was a 7am start (our choice) with a picnic breakfast to see more animals. Back for lunch and a swim before another, shorter late afternoon game drive. Day 3 we check out and set off back to nairobi via amboseli national park for a few hours.
It's a lot of driving for young children and he was very tolerant of their noise. At their age it was the right duration and more time spend driving would have been too much I think.
Peter was really good at communicating.
We would recommend and appreciate the flexibility of the company and Anthony.
