Fantastic experience!
5/5

We were very impressed with our one week Maasai Mara-Nakuru-Amboseli tour with Flash Mc Tours. Although we were a little nervous booking with a small company at first that, Peter was very responsive over emails and came personally to pick us up at the airport along with the driver. His hospitality immediately put as at ease and we knew we had made the right choice.

We then embarked on a week long journey through Mara (prepare for a long bumpy ride), Lake Nakuru, and Amboselli national park. The accommodation that Peter selected for us was excellent and got better as the days progressed. If you're going to Amboselli, we would highly recommend Kibo Safari camp - probably one of the best camps we've ever stayed in.

We would advise you to figure out what you actually want to see and do and then ask the company to tailor it for you. Also, enquire about times of the drives between the places as they were longer than we expected. The food was good, the water provided was plenty, we always felt safe and entertained by our drivers- David, Joshua and Leonard. The drivers were always on time and remained professional throughout. We would fully recommend this company. Thank you Peter and Flash McTours!

Well rounded
5/5

I recently took the Amboseli 2day, 1night tour with Africa Flash Mc Tours and had an excellent experience. Whilst the destination meeting expectations is a huge part of the trip, the customer service can really add or destroy the experience. In this case I must say that Leonard was an excellent guide and ambassador for his country. Africa Flash Mc Tours really went out of their way to respond to all my questions immediately and were very solution focused. Nothing got in the way of finding a solution for me.
As it was I ended up being a solo traveler and not only did they not increase the cost to me, they also didn’t cancel based on no other travelers taking part. That is dedication to customer service. Leonard knew that I was obsessed with seeing Mount Kilimanjaro from the Kenyan side and eventhough this is not guaranteed as there might be cloud cover, the moment he saw Kili “peeping out” from above the clouds he pointed it out to me. What a sight!!
We stopped at a Maasai village which I’m glad we did, however, I did find it a little “commercialized”… That could be from the basis that I am from Africa and had on some level romanticized what it would be like. I expected it to be a far more “remote” experience.
Leonard was very knowledgeable across a lot of different subjects which made it really special for me. We discussed from wildlife, to nature, culture, personalities regardless of nationality, the origin of different nationalities across the world, Corinne Hoffman’s book “The White Maasai” etc… Leonard was attentive and picked up on the things that would make a difference to me and then made sure I experienced them – for example climbing up a hill to a truly special view point….. no tourist trap experiences.
In closing, as a woman travelling alone, security is of the utmost importance and at all times I felt safe with Leonard on the Africa Flash Mc Tour. I cannot wait to have another trip with them.

Flexible and individual planing
5/5

With our family (2 adults, 2 kids, 11Y) we had an individual adapted planing of our safari, longer stay at the lodge and a flight. The diver was perfectly looking after us and it was a plaisant understanding with leonard. We would recommend this travel to everyone.

5/5

Peter answered possibly over 50 emails to customize our trip to our liking with all his experience.
We had a memorable and excellent trip. Everything went smoothly. His suggestions were great,Leonard was an excellent guide. I would go back to him for a trip to Tanzania or Uganda in the future, my Mother is infact in the process with booking with these guys for next year!

Agree with the other feedback when they stat this listing is made under the Mount Kenya attraction. Someone should move it to the general safari category.

Excellent Safari and Value for Money!!!
5/5

After my first encounter with Africa Flash McTours, I was impressed by the detailed information and fast response to my emails. I was abit skeptical when it came to making my payment as I had to pay the full amount upfront, and this was explained as I was booking my tour a few weeks to my date of departure and it was a Peak Season and Lodges only confirmed payment upon full payment during that period. I requested a few reviews from previous clients and after their positive feedback I continued with the booking.
The 3 days safari was unforgettable. Excellent accommodation - the main highlight being the cottages. The staff were wonderful. Cyrus was a wonderful guide and good luck ensured amazing animal viewing and Cyrus knew exactly where to take us. I know there are many travel agents but I would highly recommend Africa Flash McTours.

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!

Incredibly helpful
5/5

Africa Flash was an incredible company to work with. Peter was very helpful in helping plan and execute our dream vacation. His correspondence was always prompt and helpful. Our Safari was one we will never forget. Our guide, Edward, was absolutely amazing. He was so kind, very knowledgeable and extremely patient and easy going. He was so great with helping spot animals & was an excellent driver. We couldn’t believe the number of animals we were seeing! This was the trip of a lifetime and Africa Flash really helped make it possible!! I would recommend this company to any and all!

7 Day trip to Masai Mara and Amboseli
5/5

My family and I were very pleased with the services of Africa Flash McTours and Travel during our trip to Masai Mara and Amboseli. Right from setting up the itinerary to its execution, everything was organized perfectly. Though our trip was not finalized till the last minute due to COVID regulation, Peter was helpful right from the beginning, three months in advance, answering to my emails and messages. At no point I felt that he was not cooperating considering that there was no guarantee of our safari. While booking hotels, he ensured that my request for wheelchair assistance rooms were considered. Weekend was not an issue with him. He was available 24/7. He even helped us in getting our Kenya visa when my online visa agent did not respond to my calls in spite paying full amount in advance. Without Peter’s help our trip would not have taken place.
Peter has an excellent team especially his tour guide Simon. We had an amazing experience with Simon. He went above and beyond as our guide. His knowledge and experience in the parks helped us see all the major animals. He was also extremely patient and courteous, especially since we had someone who needed a wheelchair. He was always punctual and made sure we left early for all the safaris. Being young, he had the same enthusiasm as a normal tourist would have and went beyond his limits to make sure that we get an unforgettable safari experience.
