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.

Refunded for day 1 of trip
2/5

** UPDATE APRIL 2015
Thanks to peter for refunding us the cost of our first day's travel as promised

** ORIGINAL REVIEW
We booked transport from Nairobi airport to Masai Mara for 7.30am dept time so we could do an afternoon game drive. We left nairobi 8 hours late at 3:30 pm having waited all day and arrived at 9:30pm and missed entirely one of our two days of game drives. We were given continued excuses over and over again and several requests for money en route for expenses etc. We had paid upfront and in full. This company almost ruined the entire trip. Thankfully we had independently booked great accommodation who provided their own good driver and guide for our game drive the next day. This company is not anywhere near good enough and should be avoided at all costs. They have promised a refund but continuously have deferred about paying this.

Dear Patrick,

Sorry for the delay in departing for the Maasai Mara on the first day and missing out on the game drive on that day! This was as a result of change in vehicles for the safari and the vehicle assigned to you was late from a safari thus failure on our part to depart for the safari on time. This has been rectified by having a vehicle in standby just incase one of our vehicles does not make it in time for a pick up.
I am also sorry for the fact that you paid for some expenses, although all that was refunded this was not supposed to have happened and I have dealt with the issue permanently to ensure it never happens again.

Best Regards
Africa Flash McTours C.E.O

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.

It started with excellent communication and planning with Peter. He gave the best options/alternative. All we prescribed for was delivered as committed. Very smooth and easy planning.
Excellent choice of Facilities and value for money including tour Vehicle which was rigged with charging equipments, Distilled water, Extra Zoom Camera and Binoculars just incase you need.

Tour Guide Edward made the entire experience amazing. His reliability and vast knowledge of the entire Massai Mara eco system was very useful. He not only Could Track the large game but has good knowledge of the Plants/trees and birds too. He made sure we had the best views and photo sessions all this safely. The kids enjoyed this. He was Very professional and helpful on all the days we were with Edward.

Incredible experience
5/5

We had the most amazing experience traveling through Kenya with Africa FlashMC tours. I typically arrange our travel on my own, but for our family’s first trip to Africa I wanted the expertise of a guide. Communicating with Peter leading up to our trip could not have been easier. He always responded in a timely manner; he patiently answered all of my questions and he was flexible and accommodating in creating the perfect custom itinerary for our family with two little kids. Our actual tour surpassed all of our expectations. We visited Ol Pejeta and Samburu and enjoyed both. Our guide, Edward, truly made our trip. By the end of our tour Edward felt like family to us and we were sad to say goodbye. Our kids loved him and we did too. He shared so much knowledge with us and we appreciated his graciousness throughout. Would highly recommend!

5/5

We had a lovely time in our 3 day safari with Africa Flash McTours and Travel. Starting with a really easy and accommodating way of communication before the travels with Peter, to a really perfect trip in Masai Mara with our guide Edward!! We had so much fun, saw so many animals and learned so much about Kenyan wildlife. We stayed at Basecamp Masai Mara which was also a really nice location, good food and good vibes. Would book again with Flash McTours and Travel!
