"Masai Mara 3 day 4x4 safari from Nairobi"

Myself and my partner Raymond were on an
amazing safari this weekend in Masai Mara.
We thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.
We stayed at the Serena Lodge where again
we couldn't fault. Peter supplied a fantastic
package from start to finish, very responsive
to any questions prior to our safari tour. Our
guide Edward was very knowledgeable and
was very enthusiastic about his job which
made the experience even more enjoyable.
We would highly recommend Edward to be
your tour quide for your safari. Many thanks
for an amazing safari weekend. Donna and
Raymond

"Short and sharp safari"

At the end of a two week business trip from Australia, I had two days to fit in a very quick safari. Flash Mc were excellent during the booking process for two nights at Meru NP, even though we knew it entailed some tight deadlines to catch my departing flight. In hindsight, even though I suggested it, I probably should have done Amboseli instead given these deadlines. But I was assured it would be okay (which it was in the end - just).
So just me and driver-guide Patrick to Meru in a 6-seater Land Cruiser. Patrick as a driver was fantastic - especially given that it was over 22 hours actual (and at times, very challenging) driving in 2.5 days. Getting out of Meru at 4.30 in the morning in pouring rain on an almost non-existent flooding road was a major achievement!
As a guide, Patrick was okay. It was obvious that he did not have full knowledge of Meru NP and while we saw reasonable game, this lack of the local area was clear. His knowledge of wildlife was fair, but not good for birds or vegetation. So full marks for driving, half marks for guiding. But I must also add, that I have done many safaris to many countries in Africa, so probably used to a different level of guiding.
I would definitely consider Flash Mc Tours again, they get a lot right and their staff are excellent.

"Two-Friends-Kenya-Tour; December 2021; 12-Days; Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo East; Guide: Edward Mathu"

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!

"Wonderful Company"

Africa Flash was an incredible company to work with. Peter was very helpful in helping plan and execute our dream vacation. His correspondence was always prompt and helpful. Our Safari was one we will never forget. Our guide, Edward, was absolutely amazing. He was so kind, very knowledgeable and extremely patient and easy going. He was so great with helping spot animals & was an excellent driver. We couldn’t believe the number of animals we were seeing! This was the trip of a lifetime and Africa Flash really helped make it possible!! I would recommend this company to any and all!

"7 Days 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.

"We had the most amazing 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!

"Perfect stay in Masai Mara"

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!

"Bespoke Safarie for Birders"

We travelled as a couple of two with Africa FlashMc in August/September 2021. We are avid and experienced photographers and bird/wildlife watchers.
Booking process: smooth, prompt and always taking our requests into account. Tailoring the trip to exactly our needs worked very well.
Overall handling of the trip: worked very well, all transfers were smooth, without hassle or delay. Connecting flight from the seaside into Nairobi was booked, transfer arranged – all well.
Hotel selection: according to our requests. Rooms were always booked in very good/best positions within the respective hotels. Except for one place all hotels were up to standard and in a good location.
Route: exactly to our requests.
Vehicle: up to standard, clean, fully operational. We strongly recommend booking of a full off-road vehicle with 4WD etc. Pop-up roofs provides best wildlife viewing.
Driver/Guide: well trained, experienced. Very friendly and attentive. Very open to our wishes and suggestions while also suggesting alternatives or improved variants. Knowledgeable about wildlife and birds (and building up expertise constantly!). Extremely attentive to our wishes as photographers (having the vehicle positioned in perfect angle for light and object). Very alert to spot wildlife and suggest photo stops. In a nutshell: best guide we ever had, will definitely travel with him again!
Overall: smooth, hassle free organization, cost benefit ration fully justified, attentive organization, great guide! We can fully recommend FlashMc.

"Amazing Safari Experience"

From the beginning, Peter was great with helping us to plan our safari trip. He was super responsive and worked with us on the price. He detailed out the itinerary, the costs, and what was included and not included. He was able to book us at our preferred lodge, Sarova Mara Game Camp. He was able to book our hot air balloon ride and our village visit.

Once we arrived, Eddie was waiting for us at the airport and was our guide throughout the tour. He was knowledgable and friendly, timely, and experienced. The lodge accommodations were nice and the buffet was really good. The wifi was a bit spotty. Eddie was able to bring us back to the airport also when the tour was over.

We also chose this company because they had an ideal cancellation policy. We arrived a bit late on day one but we were able to fit in an evening game drive for one hour or so. The next day we did a full-day game drive and then went to the village in the early evening. The last day we did the hot air balloon ride in the early morning and then left for the airport.

It's important to note that with the 3-day option, you only get ONE FULL DAY for the game drive. But given that we've been on safari before it was enough for us. I'd recommend this tour company. Lastly, they went out of their way to return a lost item to me. Which I really appreciated.

"Trip of a lifetime!!"

We had the most amazing honeymoon on an 8-day safari (Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara) followed by 4 days in Zanzibar thanks to Africa Flashmc!

We chose Africa Flashmc to plan our safari because they came highly recommended by a friend, and we were looking to work with a local/Kenyan operator. We worked directly with Peter to plan our trip. Throughout the planning process, he was incredibly accommodating, giving us multiple options for the itinerary and lodging, and he was so responsive. We had to reschedule our safari twice: once due to Covid, and then a day-of flight cancellation. With the various lodges, flights, covid tests, and hotels involved, it seemed like a logistical nightmare, but Peter was always accommodating and made sure we still had the original experience we signed up for without any pushback.

Our tour guide was Simon and I can't say enough wonderful things about him! He was so kind and a pleasure to be around. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the parks and animals -- not to mention a very skilled off-roading driver. I don't think there was a single question we asked that he didn't know the answer to! I also really appreciate that he taught us a lot about Kenyan culture and even some Swahili. He was tireless and was willing to take us through the parks until we dropped. He made sure we saw the big five (multiple times over) and many other animals. You could tell he got along with the other guides as well, further proving what a genuinely good person he is.

Going on a safari may feel intimidating but both Peter and Simon made us feel 100% at ease and taken care of every step of the way -- we truly had no worries the entire trip, and the trip exceeded our wildest dreams. if we go back (which we hope we do) we would not hesitate to work with Africa Flashmc again.
