Review about Ngorongoro Crater by keelyip

Wonderful experience "Dancing with the animals"
There're plenty of wildlife and truly huge National Park. Our driver is also guide, who is very knowledgeable. The way it works is, they call each other once they discover something, e.g. lions about to hunt. My friend mentioned it should be paved road, well, I don't think so. The dirt road keep the harmony of the wild. There're plenty and different animals to look at. We visit Serengeti after Kilimanjaro climb. Couple things I like to advice other visitors. 1) sun protection (common sense) 2) we bring mask as October is dry season, very dusty 3) avoid blue/black color clothing as there're flies like to land on such color clothing, the bite will make you itchy. It's not migration season yet. But it is lion mating season as pregnancy is 11 months and new cub will be burned September next year which will give them 1-2 months dry season time to grow strong and healthy. We also stay in tent which is different experience in comparing with lodge, strongly recommend. The food is delicious and unlimited. I definitely will come back again during migration season.

Review about Tanzania by shehnai
4 stars for bush vibe, because there are a lot of other vehicles grouped around animals when sighted, the word is passed around to other tour groups. However, not as bad as Disneyland!

Great animals, great nature and especially great people
We had a 5 days trip to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. The Landscape, the animals and the people where amazing!

Fantastic animals, good food, super great guide, nice tented camps.
Wildlife was fantastic. We saw a lion right next to the truck, also cheetah and leopard very close. It was lion mating season so we got to see that too. Thousands of zebras, many hippos, elephants, etc etc. in the Serengeti there were lots of animals but they were more spread out. Miles of dirt roads sometimes a bit rough and bumpy. September/October was a great time to go because rainy season was over but still lush and green. Ngorongoro crater had a greater concentration of animals and we saw a rhino in the distance thus completing our sigjting of the big five. Our guide, Godson, was super! He was nice and friendly and had an excellent eye for spotting animals that other guides missed. He was also the driver and avoided potholes and washboard roads while keeping an eye out for game. He was interesting and went out of his way to make sure that all our needs were met. He took us shopping on the last day and also met us at 3 in the morning to take us to our flight home. He was the best guide I’ve had in years of traveling. A plus was that there were just 2 of us passengers so we had a private tour. We saw other jeeps with people crammed in jockeying for space to take photos. We took the 14 day Cultural, safari, and Zanzibar tour from Uhuru Tours. We got to do everything on the itinerary and it was well organized and less expensive than tour companies based in other countries. Uhuru is local. Tented camps we stayed at were very nice with toilets and hot showers in the tent and good food. One place we stayed at, we could watch elephants and zebras in a mud hole close by from our porch

Review about Botswana by Boon Hong Seto
We saw many animals on our game drive in Chobe National Park on our first evening. The sunset over the Chobe River is fantastic and so is the herds of elephants crossing the Chobe River.

Review about Tanzania by keelyip
We climbed Kilimajaro and did Safari afterwards. It is very convenient to travel within the same country. Besides, the national park and safari are famous and plenty of wildlife to look at

Excellent Day trip to Nairobi National Park & 3 day Safari to Masai Mara
From beginning to end Flash MC Tours never failed to live up to the excellent reviews. Our first point of contact was Peter who was always informative, attentive and reliable. He helped to tailor our safari based on the time we had available & the activities we were interested in. I had a lot of questions and he was always prompt and courteous with his replies.
Our first activity with Flash MC was a day trip to Nairobi National Park with a visit to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust & a half day game drive in the park. The day started with a slight miscommunication which Peter dealt with swiftly and directly. We appreciated the personal service and once we got started everything worked out perfectly. Eric was our guide for the afternoon. He was friendly and informative. He found a pride of 8 lions in the park as well as 2 elusive black rhino - one with a baby in tow! The park abounds with wildlife and Eric identified all species for us and stopped with ample time to take photos & observe.
Our second tour with Flash MC was a 3 day, 2 night safari to Masai Mara National Reserve. Peter picked us up from our hotel to meet up with the rest of our party. John was our guide for this expedition. He was again friendly & informative & above all a skilled driver! We left Nairobi in the morning to drive to the Mara. We had a little stopover to view the incredible Great Rift Valley and another in Narok to have lunch. Then on to the Mara & our 'Kenyan Massage'. Having just poured rain the roads were a little precarious at times but John navigated with ease - very comforting! We upgraded our package with a stay at the Mara Sopa Lodge which was well worth the small additional charge. We had 3 game drives on our itinerary but we only needed 2 to see all the Big 5! Incredible. The Mara is breathtaking and John is well connected with other tour drivers who all help each other locate animals. Top Notch all the way around. We skipped our final game drive and opted to go to Lake Naivasha to see hippos up close - well worth the additional entrance fee (this was not covered in our original itinerary hence we paid out of pocket for the boat ride).
All in all we highly recommend Africa Flash MC Tours, Peter & his crew. We will definitely be using Peter's services again when we return to Kenya & visit Tanzania!
