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

Attentive and trustworthy
We went to Amboseli first and stayed in lovely tented camp Tortilis , with a beautiful view and a great cook. Then to Tsavo west were we stayed in Lions Bluff, all renovated,expensive, but fantastic what a view! When you are a bird watcher Tsavo is great, but there is not as much wild life as in Masai Mara. The tour guide Simon knew a lot about wild life and birds.
Africa flash tours were all the way attentive, on time, did what they promised and even brought my forgotten hat days later to the house.
In one word what a great time we had!

7 Day trip to Masai Mara and Amboseli
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.

Incredible experience
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!

Very accommodating and knowledgable
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!
