An experience to remember
From the first moment we contacted Africa Flash McTours & Travel the attention was great; Peter was very nice and always answered our questions and made the booking process really easy for us; facilitating better camps as per our request. As we arrived in Nairobi everything went smoothly; and Cyrus our driver was on time the next day to take us to Mara. We spent the most exhilarating 10 days of our lives, visited Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru, Amboseli and a great small camp in Tsavo East! Some errors in booking and payments were made; as well as itinerary issues but aside from that; the experience with Africa Flash McTours & Travel was a great one

Someone you can trust completely
We were planning to go on a hoiday on our 1st wedding anniversary and we chose Masai Mara. While contacting several Operators, the one who has promptly responded and offered us the best rates was Peter from Flash Mc Tours. He's given us more that what he promised. The best accommodation at the least price.
At first, we were worried since Peter didn't show up at the airport, but soon he reached and apologized. He also took us to the Giraffe Centre since we had an evening at Nairobi. He is a great person, completely reliable. If you do not know anything about where you want to go or stay, he would definitely suggest one and take you there all by himself, and undoubtedly it would be the best.
Although we asked for a Camp before going to Kenya, he chose to give us a better option the moment we told him it was our 1st wedding anniversary.He also suggested that we take a private safari and offered a good price for it.
We spotted almost all the animals: Zebras, Giraffes, Wildebeests, Buffaloes, Lionesses, Cheetahs, Leopard, Topi, Ostriches, Elands, Water Bucks etc. We were slightly disappointed for not finding the Lion and Black Rhino. Since the hotel we stayed was far from animals, the time wasn't sufficient for the Safari. We lost a lot of our time in travelling to the hotel.
Learnings:
1. Talk to you Guide before you start, Make sure the Operator, you and the Guide are all on one page before you leave for the Safari.
2. If you are there for animals, choose accommodation inside the park which has them. If you want privacy, you may choose to stay away. Animals are everywhere anyway, it is only their density that varies.
3. A Safari at Masai Mara requires 2 full days to have a great experience
If at all you face any issues throughout your tour "Hakunamatata! Peter is there". We highly recommend him and will choose him every time we want to visit Kenya.

Great experience with a very competent guide (Amboseli)
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.

Posted on Aug 21, 2019Jambo Riddhi,
Thank you for travelling with us on our 6 days Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Economy Safari, and taking time to provide a feedback on your safari experience.
We appreciate your positive feedback on the guide and the tour.
As for the Masai Mara accommodations, we offered you different accommodation options to choose from, and based on your budget, you chose that one you stayed at in Masai Mara, however I had given an option to upgrade the accommodation at a fee, but that was not possible due to budget constraint.
We shall however keep you observation in mind and advise, future safari prospects on the same.
Hopefully this shall not be your last Africa holiday safari in Kenya. From us to you we say, "Asante & Welcome Again!"

Great time around lakes and volcano
We had a great time on this three days trip. James our guide was amazing and Edward half guide half driver friendly. Lake Nakuru is incredibly beautiful. We saw rhinos and a lion on a tree. Peter was always answering and trying to do his best to make our trip memorable. Once we had a problem with the hotel. He solved it quickly. Always with smile and with respect and sympathy.

Cons:

Super organisation and service
Peter had organised a 2 nights and 3 days safari in Lake Naivasha & Nakuru, with a stopover on Hells Gate + Crescent Island for us. We had a great organisation and everything was ready for us.
Good cars / guides / service at the hotels or restaurants he had booked for us.
We were two women travelling by ourselves and we felt very well taken care of. Safari for princesses :)

Awesome 9-day-safari with Edward & 4 leopards
We did a great 9 day tour with Edward to Massai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, Hells Gate and Tsavo East/West. It was booked as a budget tour with tented camps, some lodges (mostly outside parks, two inside) and one night of real camping in hells gate. Most of the accommodations exceeded our budget expectations esp. Oldarpoi Camp and Amboseli AA Lodge were very nice.
We were also extremely lucky with animals as we saw 4 leopards altogether, many many lions, 2 cheetahs, several rhino (I don't count elephants, zebras and giraffes anymore) . Saw the big five actually in the 1st two days at Massai Mara. Every park has its highlights and differences. It was wonderful. You need to know that roads to and in the parks can be very rough, though. Journeys to and from the parks were very exhausting, esp.the one to Massai Mara. And good roads in Kenia are generally full of overloaded and very slow lorries. Nothing much FlashMC can do about that, maybe improvement of suspension on the safari bus. ;)
Our guide and driver Edward managed all those things most greatly though. He is a well organized, very responsible und very lovable guy and a skilled driver too. We had a lot of fun together and he even taught us a Kenian card game (so bring a pack of cards). ;) Peter, the tour manager, is also a very nice guy, working hard to please every customer. He even met us persoally just to say hello. I am a very controlling person, so I asked a lot of questions beforehand which Peter answered all duly. Thus nearly everything went as planned. Upon request Peter also organized a day in Hells Gate incl. pitching tents inside the park with an extra guide who did a bicycle and canyon tour with us and also a cook for evening dinner. This was extremely cool and very adventurous. Merely the tents (brought by the extra guide) were in pretty chaotic and bad condition. Luckily our own camping experience made it all work out that night (of course we feedbacked all this to Peter). ;) Thank you, Edward and Peter!! We won't forget this great holiday!
