A Safe and Fun Safari!
4/5

I wanted to see the Great Migration at the Mara and it had been on my bucket list for so long that I had very high expectations of the trip. Flash Mc Tours helped me plan a hassle free tour of the Mara. I had a truly awesome time and did not have to worry about anything during the entire trip. As a single woman traveler, safety was my utmost concern, and the Mc Tours team ensured that I felt safe throughout the journey. The lodge where we were put up was neat and clean and the food very tasty! All in all, an enjoyable memory!

I had a great time in the Masai reserve. Peter and team were incredibly responsive to my emails, very accommodating and affordable compared to other choices. I recommend them.

Safaris with Flash Mc Tours
4/5

We went on two safari tours. The first was to Amboseli and the second was to Nakuru, Navaisha and Hell's Gate. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, which was tailor -made to fit our needs. We had an excellent driver and guide in Cyrus, who was safe, knowledgeable, accommodating and punctual. All the travel arrangements proceeded smoothly and whilst on safari the range of wildlife seen exceeded our expectations.
Although we would certainly use the company again, it would be good to have a credit card facility for payments since withdrawing large amounts of Kenyan shillings proved an expensive process.

friendly people and very nice trip
4/5

I've been travelling with Africa Flash Mc Tours several times (Masai Mara, ol pejeta, Samburu etc) with different kind of packages (budget and luxury), sometimes I joined one of their groups, and other I asked for a tailor made private Safari. Every time I was very satisfied with their services and most of all with their flexibility, friendly drivers and customer care orientation. yes of course some times we had some little problem with the vehicle or a delay in clearing with the Hotel but this can happen in any safari with any agency. The important is that they've always done their best to fix the issues and make us happy and relaxed.
for the long weekend of 1st may I went with a group of 6 friends to Aberdares and everything was just perfect! It is the rainy season so not the best period to visit parks due to the poor conditions of the roads, but thanks to the patience and availability of Edward (the driver) we managed to do all our programs and to visit what we wanted to see.
I would really recommend this agency so give it a try!

Great experience with a very competent guide (Amboseli)
4/5

Greatly enjoyed our experience with Africa Flash Mc Tours. Peter, the manager, is kind, courteous and efficient. We were guided by Cyrus (great name), who is competent and knowledgeable, very much the strong and (somewhat) silent type. With him we had two fantastic game drives in Amboseli, and saw a lot (lot!) of fantastic animals - all the usual suspects, plus lions, hyenas and a cheetah! We got the impression he really knew the rhythm of the park, the hiding places of a lot of different animals, their movements and comings and goings: i.e. all you could ask for in a guide.

Other good points:

- Pick up from Nairobi was very punctual
- Drive to the park took less time than expected
- They also set us up in AA Lodge, which was very close to the park gate, and had great facilities. This was something of a treat, since we were expecting a tented camp (nothing wrong with them of course, but still) and we got what we considered an upgrade!

The only reason I've given 4/5 stars, instead of 5, is because they asked for quite a hefty deposit (50%) beforehand.

Great experience, and value for money
4/5

We went on the Amboseli National Park tour, and had a great time, and we got exactly what we expected. We did not stay at the Kibo Safari Camp, due to earlier food poisoning, they arranged accommodation for us at the AA lodge instead, which was a very nice place to stay, and when we requested more locally inspired food, we got it. The safari experience was so much fun and we got to see all these animals. Amboseli National Park is a wonderful place to go on safari, and using Africa Flash McTour will give you a great experience, great accommodation and an excellent guide to follow you.

I recommend you to use Africa Flash Mc Tour if you are going on a safari.

Unforgettable 7-Day Safari Experience in Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater - A Five-Star
5/5

My wife Iris and I recently had the privilege of embarking on a safari adventure in Kenya and Tanzania for our honeymoon, and it was an experience that surpassed all expectations. From start to finish, every moment felt like a scene from a nature documentary brought to life.
Many thanks to Peter for responding quickly to emails and listening to our requests during planning. The cost was very appropriate for the experiences we received. The details from picking us up at the airport in Nairobi to booking the lodging, all the way down to providing plenty of bottled water were all taken care of.

Our safari guide, James, was very knowledgeable and deeply passionate about the wildlife and ecosystem. His expertise added immeasurable value to the journey, allowing us to witness the most remarkable sights, including the several close-up opportunities with lions, leopards, elephants and more! The sheer abundance of wildlife was breathtaking—hippos, gazelles, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and countless other species roaming freely in their natural habitat. James was also a great driver, navigating the bumpy roads to make them more smooth. He seemed to be well respected by many guides from other companies. With James, we felt as though we lucked out with one of the best in the business!

Since laws prohibit Kenyan and Tanzanian guides from crossing borders, Flash McTours contracted our Tanzanian safari adventures to another company. This transition was orchestrated very smoothly. Peter also organized our pickup at the border for our transit back to Nairobi with another great guide named Simon, who also seemed like a great guide.

The accommodations provided a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in the wilderness. Waking up to the sunrise over the savannah and falling asleep to the distant calls of the wild made each day feel like a new chapter of adventure. We stayed at the Mara Sopa Lodge (Masai Mara), Kati Kati Tented Camp (Serengeti), and the Ngorongoro Farm House (Ngorongoro Crater). All three locations that Flash McTours recommended were flawless.

The cultural interactions with the Masai people were a highlight, offering a glimpse into their traditions and way of life. It added a beautiful depth to the overall experience, allowing for a deeper appreciation of the region's rich heritage. James was knowledgeable of the Masai way of life and was able to answer any questions that we had.

I cannot recommend this safari company enough to anyone seeking an authentic and mesmerizing wildlife encounter. East Africa is a treasure trove of natural beauty and biodiversity, and this journey was an unforgettable exploration of the wonders of nature.

The memories created on this trip will last a lifetime. Thank you to Flash McTours for making this safari an absolute dream come true!

Great communication & guide = amazing safari!
5/5

We couldn’t rate Africa Flash McTours highly enough. They’ve been amazing from start to finish and have helped give us the best honeymoon!

Peter organised an excellent itinerary and answered all our questions extremely quickly. We communicated with Peter quite a lot during the planning of our safari as we had originally booked for 2020 but we had to postpone to 2022 due to Covid but there were no issues with this.

Simon was our guide who met us at the airport. He was always on time, friendly, was very knowledgable about the animals (and great at spotting them) and was an excellent driver! We had heavy rain during our trip and he got through roads I thought would be impassable. He also seemed to have a great network with other guides to help him locate some of the rarer animals. This meant we saw the big 5 no problem! He was a lovely guy who was great to chat to and would do anything to help make our trip enjoyable.

All the best to the team and we hope tourism returns to normal levels soon.

Amazing!
5/5

We were in December 2021 for about 12 days with Flash McTours on the road. We were two people from germany. Here we visited Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo East. The whole tour was very well planned and an incredible experience! Peter answered all our questions in advance regarding the trip and our stay in Kenya. Especially due to the Corona Pandemic, the support and understanding from Flash McTours was very good and helpful. We had planned a private tour for two with a 4x4 car. It has to be said that a 4x4 car is only useful if the driver can handle it. Our driver, Edward Mathu, was incredibly experienced with driving, the environment and the individual parks. Compared to other drivers we have experienced, this is not a matter of course! Edward has an incredible sense of the behavior of individual animals, their habitat and a good knowledge about each species. He was able to orientate himself very well in the parks and knew where which animals like to stay, so that we could experience all animals. At the same time he is incredibly well connected within the guides and a great driver. We towed other cars several times during our tour and helped other guides and their tourists as they got stuck in the terrain, as not all drivers are experienced. We were always very well equipped for the game drives and this was also very well planned. Our guide also accommodated our requests when we wanted to do something different, like experience something of Nairobi or do something in the villages, so we were able to meet many locals as well, which was very important to us. It was overall a wonderful experience and we would recommend Flash McTours again and again! Especially with Edward as our driver, it was an incredibly good time where we got to experience Kenya, the environment, the people and the culture. Ask for Edward when you book here as the guide has a very big impact on the experiences you gather!
