OUTSTANDING! Once in a life time experience. Lenard and Peter were both amazing!
To give you an idea of our scenario, we landed in Kenya with absolutely no idea of what we were going to do and nothing booked whatsoever. We are a family of three, and we booked round-trip flights to Nairobi, giving us a total of 7 days in Kenya. Additionally, we were in Kenya for Christmas, which made finding reservations even more difficult. Anyways, we landed in Nairobi with Peter's (owner of Flash MCtours) Skype number and messaged him, advising him that we needed a last minute safari trip. Peter offered to meet us for breakfast so he could explain the tours he had available, and he gave us SO many different safari options, allowing us to customize a schedule perfect for us. He managed to keep the safari trip within our price range AND found 5-star accommodations (which were completely sold out online due to Xmas). After having breakfast, the driver was ready at our hotel the next morning. The driver, Lenard, was absolutely amazing. He knew everything about Kenya, and was happy to answer all of our curious questions. He made sure to accommodate us in every way possible, even driving off-road to see certain animals up close. He truly made the trip a breeze and very educational. After finishing our 6-day Safari, we left so grateful that we chose Flash McTours. Highly recommend for anyone.

Amazing experience in an unreal country
Tanzania has been a great experience and Shemeji Safari and Tours were very good to us, specially our driver and cook. The Safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro has been one of the best experiences we have ever had. Congrats on an amazing place for adventure!

Three-day safari was a agreat expereince, pProfessional and high standard.
Everything was prepared professionally. I cannot complain about anything. The offert was relevant and detailed. The contact with the owner immediate.
The drive to the national park was in nice companion and convenient conditions. We spent time while on safari with the driver and guide in one person who has impressed us with his knowledge about the place, widlife and by having nice and friendly personality. The service and facilities in the camp exceeded our expectations.

First rate staff & service. Highly recommended.
From initial contact to tour end, Tekko's staff were faultless.
My initial enquiry was answered promptly and produced a great itinerary at a very competitive price. Dealing with Carol at Tekko was straightforward and simple and any changes I requested were actioned without delay or drama. That always makes life easier!
I was greeted with a smile and a warm welcome at Nairobi airport by my driver / guide - William. His sense of humour and determination to track down the very best game sightings never wained throughout the trip. He is singularly the best guide I have encountered in years.
He made it his business to track down every big cat, rhino & illusive creature within 50 kilometers and then made sure we were perfectly positioned for some spectacular photographs.
Our safari minivan was always freshly washed and proved very comfortable on even the most difficult bush roads.
William's knowledge of the areas we visited, the myriad of wildlife and the culture of Kenya greatly enhanced my trip and coupled with the excellent safari lodges we stayed in, I would highly recommend you consider Tekko for your upcoming safari.

3-day tour to Masai Mara to experience the Great Migration
It was a most memorable safari to see the great migration in the Masai Mara--beyond all expectations!
The tent accommodation was basic, but was adequate for the a 2-night stay. Food was basic but enjoyable. No problems there.
George, the driver, who drove the group I joined to the park, knew the park well and showed us some amazing scenes of wild life.
But he has to learn to let the passengers enjoy the game and not drive off from a scene when he felt like.
Robert, my contact person, did an excellent job in setting up the tour up for me.
But certain logistics were beyond his control--in particular, the transportation to and from the park.
Transportation problem started when when we set off from Nairobi. George had not been given the money to pay at the park and we waited a long time outside of Nairobi before the funds were brought to him.
On the way back from the park, another vehicle was supposed to pick my group up and take us to Nairobi. Again we waited for a couple of hours before the transportation materialized. On reaching Nairobi, the driver had great difficulty in finding the address to drop off a couple of passengers, so that best part of the evening was spent driving back and forth in Nairobi.
For me, Robert came to the rescue. And for that I am very grateful. He picked me up from the city centre and brought me to my destination.
A fantastic trip, but could have done without the transport hassle to and from the park.

Amazing 7 star service!!!
It was so easy and I felt safe in the knowledge I was looked after. I am a woman travelling alone and Giada made me feel very secure. The best possible choice was made for me.

Very great experience with Nyasi. Can't wait to go back for another safari.
Davis is amazing. He is passionate about his job and very professional. He is a good communicator, patient and also "charming". We had an amazing time with him and he really passed our expectations. We loved his company throughout the Safari. And yes we Sam a number of Simbas (lions) with him.
I cant wait to go back on a safari with him.

Excellent service, affordable price, highly recommended!
As it was our first time to travel to Tanzania, it was a bit overwhelming to even start planning a 15 day trip to the country - starting from Dar Es Salaam to Moshi and Arusha then Zanzibar and back to Dar. Through a friend's personal recommendation, we contacted a local guide who gave us a ridiculous quote for a 7 day tour. Frustrated, we asked for help from other expat friends who work in Dar and searched for budget tours as well. Luck turned out when we found Emman's Facebook Page. Emman responded well to most of the questions we asked re visas, yellow fever vaccination, transits, and most importantly - details on our planned Safari trip. She gave us a detailed and clear itinerary for Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and to our surprise, a quote which suits our budget. Two weeks before our trip, we've been in close contact with Emman to sort out the minute details of our trip, making sure that we maximize our time, save on costs and enjoy. Emman was very helpful in dealing with our hotel reservations (giving us choices and tips), bus arrangements (Dar to Moshi), and flight bookings (Arusha to Zanzibar). She gave us advise on how to improve our 15 day itinerary and gladly answered all our questions (even calling the immigration in Dar just to make sure we had the relevant info re visa and yellow fever vaccination).
When we reached Moshi, she volunteered to pick us up from our hotel and gave us a free tour to the waterfalls and hot springs since she had a client doing the tour anyway. It was a very thoughtful offer and by doing that we met another lovely traveler who later became a friend. In Arusha, Emman took us to our hotel, making sure that we had everything we need and that we're comfortable. In the morning, we were picked up on time by her friendly driver and the 4x4 car ready for our Safari.
The whole Safari experience exceeded our expectations. Earlier on, we were warned by friends and other travelers about fly by night tour operators, sub-standard services, etc. especially when taking budget Safaris. Turned out, we had the best experience with Mike (driver and guide), Emman (managing director) and John (chef). Emman joined us during our Safari, making sure that we enjoy our trip and all our needs were met. Mike, on the other had, did his best to answer all our questions and patiently showed flexibility to accommodate our requests. John, our wonderful chef, was also very friendly, flexible and accommodating.
In the 4 days that we were on Safari, we enjoyed every bit of it. Each day was carefully planned, packed with game drives and other side trips. We enjoyed the special trips to the Maasai villages, buying a goat for our barbecue dinner, a quick visit to the Olduvai Gorge, and picnics near the lake and under big trees in the savannah. Emman made sure that what's on the itinerary was followed and not rushed.
On our last day in Arusha, Emman showed us around the city before our flight in the afternoon. We enjoyed visiting the Cultural Arts Center, containing amazing artworks from various artists not only in Tanzania but in Africa as well. The whole morning was relaxing. A few hours before our flight, Emman took us to the airport.
Our whole experience with Kili Serengeti Guides made us appreciate our trip to Tanzania even more. There was no dull moment during the trip, communication was very efficient, the driver and guide provided was very friendly-humble-knowledgeable and fun to be with, arrangements were superb, itinerary was completely followed, no extra or additional charges even when we were with them for 6 days (for a 4 day trip), personalized service, and professional way of handling our needs. I couldn't ask for more.
Emman and her crew surely exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend their company to anyone who wants to experience Tanzania in a meaningful way.
