Incredible Masai Mara Experience
We had an incredible 3-day safari in Masai Mara National Reserve. We booked the tour through Africa Flash McTours & Travel. Peter (the trip organizer) was excellent – he responded promptly to numerous email and phone inquiries we made prior to taking the trip and accommodated our every request including drop off/ pick-up, lodge reservation etc. Peter and the tour guide Cyrus (the absolute best!) picked us from our hotel in Nairobi and took care of us completely until we were dropped off at the airport. Cyrus is very courteous, very knowledgeable, efficient and thoughtful. He knows the vast national reserve like the back of his hand (there are no street signs or even roads) and he knew where (and when) to find the lions, cheetahs and other animals. Because of Cyrus’ expertise, we saw every kind of animal there is to see up close and we were surprised how those animals completely ignore people and vehicles. Thanks to Cyrus, we even saw a lioness hunting a water buffalo, but the herd charged her back. We saw the elusive black rhino and much more-ever seen a jackal? He even went out of his way to find us a hyena. We saw wildebeest migrate across the Mara river which also had alligator and hippos in the area. Cyrus always made sure we had the absolute best view. He arranged a picnic lunch for us-which was pretty awesome too!
Our accommodation in AA Lodge was very comfortable – no mosquitos, hot water (you just have to leave it on for 10 mins before you get it, but that is ok), comfortable bed, etc. The safe deposit box did not have any batteries so we could not use it. We lost a pair of diamond earrings. We were asked to give our room keys every morning before leaving for game drives so they can clean which was unnecessary (we would have preferred to pick up new towels etc. but no cleaning). We tried to contact AA lodge to check on lost & found but no luck. Peter and Cyrus also tried to reach out to AA Lodge folks. Other than this very unfortunate experience, we had an amazing tour and enjoyed every minute of it. Peter and Cyrus are awesome–we highly recommend them.

Adventure of a lifetime! Exceptional coordination, customized tour, responsible tour operator.
I know that narrowing things down when picking a safari tour operator can be stressful, so I hope this review helps the decision easier. It took me some time when comparing options, and I am so happy we chose Africa Flash MC Tours & Travel! Peter, the tour operator, was very responsive from the beginning, and he was very helpful when customizing our 15-day Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda safari. He picked us up at the airport and got us ready for the adventure ahead; he is a very friendly, nice guy. This was our first time in Africa, and we had the time of our lives! The safari went as planned in the itinerary, and at one point our accommodation was even upgraded just because. As we learned, our tour in Tanzania was handled by Gosheni Safaris Africa, and in Uganda by Amos Tindimwebwa (Freelance Tour Guide), so kudos to Peter for the excellent coordination with these agencies to ensure a great experience. We are glad we picked Africa Flash MC Tours & Travel. They took care of everything, and the transfers between countries went very smoothly. All our 3 guides, Edward (Kenya), Samir (Tanzania) and Amos (Uganda), were great. They were very knowledgeable about the animals and all the parks we visited, and answered all of our questions about their countries, culture, and more. Most of our safari was private, so we hanged out with our guides as they were part of our crew, and had a blast! We saw the Big Five, and we were so happy to catch the beginning of the Great Migration while on the Serengeti. We also did a hot-air balloon safari at the Maasai Mara, boat safari on Lake Naivasha, and gorilla trekking in Uganda! We highly recommend this company, and we will definitely choose them again for our next Africa adventure! Thanks, Peter, for the wonderful experience! (PS: As a vegan, I was happy to find vegan options in all the places that we stayed at.)

Fantastic Experience
This is the second time we are travelling with Peter, all I would like to say is that if I do it another 100 times it would still be with Peter. An agent must lessen ur burden of travelling and planning and he does exactly that. He knows exactly what you want and suits it to perfection. My experience has been great both in Masai Mara last year and Tanzania and Ndutu this year . He ensure end to ends services great accommodation and drivers. Thanks Peter for making this holiday a one to remember and affordable as well.

Great overall experience!
We booked the 3 day 2 night safari at the Masai Mara. Communication beforehand was excellent and pickup from our hotel in Nairobi was great. The journey to and from the national park was excellent, our driver and guide James went above and beyond to cater to the needs of everyone in the group. The camp site had all the facilities we required and we were able to meet some great people along the way.
Would definitely recommend this safari for anyone looking to see the big five on a budget but looking for a great experience!

Excellent safari experience and good communication!
I booked the safari experience with Peter at a short notice of about 1 month and with some changes etc he did manage to provide us with what we wanted. There were a few bumps along the way but Peter was always very accommodating and excellent in looking after us. All his staff were very helpful and knowledgeable as well.
We did Masai Mara Reserve, Lake Nakaru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Parks.
Highly recommended genuine company and person.

Amazing
We booked with Africa Flash McTours with Peter and from the start his communication amazing. I probably sent over 30 emails of questions and changes as the time approached and he answered every one of them and accommodated us with changes.
We did the 2 night camping which was exactly what we though it would be canvas tent under a thatched roof on concrete foundation. It was clean and comfortable. Mosquito nets were provided although we did not have a problem with them this time of the year.
We also did 1 night in lake Nakuru. I wish I had done more research or asked more questions. The lake is growing and many animals have either left or have been moved. The pink flamingos were not really visible and that many. It's not as great as the Masai Mara where our driver would 4 wheel drive over the plains to get to the animals. I would not recommend Nakuru, unless you don't mind sticking to the road and seeing animals from a far.
We asked Peter to for a pick up from the airport. Our hotel was going to charge us double and he provided a more reasonable price.
Peter picked us up the next day at our hotel and took us to our driver and the other passengers for the Safari. Antonio (who was the best) was our driver. He loves the animals and you can tell he loves for us to see them! We saw all but the lepoard of the Big 5 on the first 1/2 day drive
The next day was amazing as well. We drove the the other side of the park to the Mara river and saw Hippo and Crocs. Simple amazing.
overall I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a Safari, if you can handle a little bit rougher stay and are on a budget I would suggests the camping. 2 nights was perfect! Peter made all of our transfers easy and affordable.

As for the company peter was very helpful from the very begining by his fast replies to all our inquiries and let me tell you this we had so many inquiries and he did a great job answering them all with great professionality , his recommendations for everything was more than great he personally came to pick us from the hotel and came to say good bye in the airport and to check on our trip
As for the guide we were too lucky to be with the amazing cyrus they call him the safari dr and indeed he is he can make a phd in safaris he is too professional , friendly and fun and always keen to make us see as most animals as he could we were too lucky to see the migration and the big five by his wonderful help
