"Great Day Trip to Lake Nakuru National Park"
We went to Lake Nakuru National Park from Nairobi in our own 4 x 4 for a game drive. It was such a great experience, as our driver was knowledgeable and was open to answer all our questions. We learnt alot from all the animals we saw, making the tour much more valuable and educational at the same time.

"Outstanding Masai Mara safari"
We had a fantastic safari with Simon, our guide on our Masai Mara safari. Masai Mara park is amazing, with plenty of wildlife, which we managed to see due to our experienced guide, who was respectful and knowledgeable of the animals.
Our accommodation was at the Mara Bush Camp, and the place was beautiful with amazing staff who were super friendly and warm. It is also located inside the park, and a great spot for wildlife viewing.

"A 4 day safari with fond memories."
We took the 4 day tour of Amboseli, Tsavo west and Tsavo east national parks.
We appreciated Simon the tour guide who was punctual, very professional, really knowledgeable in unique facts about the parks, animals and birds. He was flexible to enrich our safari whenever it was required. The accomodation was well organised, tour vehicle was always clean even though it was a dusty period, and communication was good.
Peter’s patience while booking was impressive, answering all the questions we had and comparing different options that we were considering. I plan to use them next time I take my family.

"We loved our safari with Flash MC"
Flash McTours gave us a fantastic safari experience in Kenya. Our driver Edward was excellent, very experienced and knowledgeable. We felt really safe in the jeep with him and he was totally committed to making sure that we saw as many animals as possible - and we saw so many - it was unbelievable! Peter was really responsive and created a bespoke tour to meet our needs. I called him several times and he was very patient with my questions. Despite booking the trip in 2019 and delaying till August 2022 because of the pandemic, everything was perfectly arranged. The hotels he booked for us were brilliant - beautiful surroundings, comfortable, clean and great food and service. I would definitely recommend Flash McTours

"Trip of a lifetime"
The phrase ‘trip of a lifetime’ may seem overused or like an exaggeration, but I cannot think of any other way to describe the week we just had. And it is fully down to the care, detail, skill, experience and organisation of Peter and the team at Africa Flash McTours. I was with 3 friends and our visit was 2 nights at Sopa Mara Lodge, 1 night at Sopa Lake Nakuru and 2 nights at Kibo Safari Camp. The accommodation that was booked for us by Peter at each of these 3 places was beautifully clean and comfortable with a great range buffet style food to suit any appetite; lovely restaurant/bar/lounge areas; and the most, friendly and welcoming staff. They were in amazing locations which either gave great views or the feeling of being fully embedded in the bush. Each had a different design and atmosphere which added to the feeling of a luxury trip.
But - what made the trip was our guide and driver Edward. He is an amazing, thoughtful and caring man who without doubt made the experience what it was. His Land Cruiser vehicle was brilliantly comfortable. It had a fridge for storing cold water (used to fill up the complimentary flasks we were given as gifts from the company) and USB charge points. The roof section opened up to give excellent viewing and it was robust and powerful enough to take us across whatever terrain was needed to get us close to the animals. The powerful radio meant Edward was able to communicate with other guides to know straight away where the best animals had been spotted and take us there (at what we called ‘lion speed’)
Edward told us that he had been doing this for 11 years and we quickly worked out that this meant he was pretty much the most experienced guide on the parks. He told us we would see ‘everything’ and he was right. His knowledge of the animals, birds, habitats and behaviours was superb. He knew exactly where to take us for the best chance of seeing the animals and got the jeep into the best positions for us to watch them up close - even adjusting so that we would have the best light for our photographs. We were often the first jeep to arrive at the scene of an amazing animal experience (lions with a fresh kill, lions mating, hyenas with brand new cubs, troops of elephants to name a few), with other vehicles playing catch-up. He seemed to know every inch of each of the parks.
Edward organised our days to give us the best experience of sunrises, sunsets, views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the vast and changing landscapes of the park. We squeezed the juice out of every hour even seeing amazing birds and animals right up to the last 5 minutes before dark.
He was calm and patient throughout, listening to what we were enjoying and making sure we saw it. His passion for the animals and birds was also evident and his ability to keep us in suspense about what was round the corner made it feel like a true adventure.
His stamina with all the driving was incredible and always felt safe and competent hands whether driving across the grasslands or on 5 hour road journeys between venues.
It was a lovely moment when we stopped for lunch in Nairobi and were able to meet Peter in person who greeted us like old friends as well as Edwards brother Simon an equally experienced guide with the company.
On our final day, Edward organised a visit to a Masai village (an experience not to be missed) and thoughtfully took photos and videos of us dancing and talking to the villagers so that this amazing memory was captured.
If anyone is thinking of a Kenyan safari then I cannot recommend Africa Flash McTours highly enough. The attention to detail, meticulous organisation and personal approach would be difficult to top.
Asante sana for an incredible time

"Perfect organisation and excellent driver (Edward)"
Fantastic 6 full days in Masai Mara: Excellent organisation, response time and professionalism by Africa FlashMac Tours and Travel, and special kudos to Edward who is an excellent driver/guide, especially as he understands very well how to position his car for photographers: when a group of wildebeests unexpectedly decided to cross the Mara river while we were expecting another group nearby to cross first, Edward not only reacted very fast but, contrary to most other drivers who drove straight to the crossing, he took a slightly longer way/time to reach the action and positioned us just downstream by the river. Which means we were in a prime spot to photograph and film the one croc who caught a young wildebeest and extracted it from the pack! Edward also sometimes takes a chance on where a leopard or cheetah may decide to go in order to position the car in the best possible location. Once or twice it didn't succeed but when it did (most of the time) we always ended up at the exact right position (as when a cheetah chased an impala or two hyenas killed and split a baby gazelle). Definitely highly recommended!

Africa Flash Mc Tour & Travel
I`ve had the pleasure of having Peter and Simon taking care of all the details for my July trip to Masai Mara. Peter, making sure that all the details were taken care of, including making sure I had coffee shortly after arriving in the early morning in Nairobi and coming to meet me and explain to me a few changes made in the program!!
Simon, simply one of the best in this business. He is knowledgeable, friendly, patient and always has a smile on his face....
I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to go on a safari.

"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.

"5 Star Private Safari & Tour Company"
If you are looking to do an African Safari - look no further than Flash Mc Tours! Would not hesitate to recommend or use these guys again - could not fault them right from the initial enquiry with Peter (owner) in the office, through to the flexibility they showed us, the incredible knowledge and energy of our guides (Simon & Edward) and the general kindness and customer service throughout. Nothing was too much trouble, easily one of the most organised and professional companies I have ever dealt with, anywhere!
Our private tour package was amazing and felt it served excellent value for money. Everything we had hoped for on our first African Safari - highly recommended tour company and overall experience that will never be forgotten!

"We highly recommend this tour operator"
We highly recommend this tour operator, Peter was great in the communication, he really helped us a lot to put together a great safari tour in Kenya and a few days at Diani Beach. During the safari tour we were lucky to have Edward as our guide & driver. Edward's love for nature and his excellent driver skills made it our dream holiday never to forget
