Unforgettable trip to my roots with the personal touch of Flash Safaris and Photography
From the first contact with Magda to the farewell from Zanzibar, all was superbly arranged for our family trip to Tanzania. Being an emotional trip to my place of birth in Kilombero, a new experience for us on safari and to end it all a relaxing few days in Paradise, this custom made vacation was very well organised.
To start with, all mails were answered promptly, our wishes were heard. Upon arrival in Dar we were met by Edward and by our guide Abraham, which was very comforting because we had to change our schedule that day due to several delays of our flight and due to the fact that our suitcases were missing. They helped us organise everything, in cooperation with the people from the company that was hosting us for the first week.
Abraham soon became part of our family, good company, safe driver and excellent wild spotter on safari. During our week in Kilombero, he took us to Mikumi NP, Udzungwe NP to hike up to the Sanje waterfalls, and into a small local village. We felt safe with Abraham in our midst. After that week, we went to Ruaha NP for a few game drives. To end this dream trip, Magda booked us into a beautiful resort in Ras Michamvi, Zanzibar, where we were warmly met by the manager Charly and were able to digest all our new experiences.
All in all a very personal touch with a professional attitude. Magda, Edward and Abraham, asante sana for an unforgettable journey!

Karibu Sana is an understatement. More then we expected.
From the beginning until the end, everything was arranged very well. Magda and Edward listened to our wishes, made them come true and even more. We felt very welcome in Tanzania. Magda picked us up at Kilimanjaro Airport together with our guide/driver Rodgeb and that was a good start. Everybody in the Lodges and tented camps was kind, personal and professional.
Our guide and driver Rodgeb is the best there is, according to us of course! He knew so many things about the Masaï, the animals and the country. He was like a walking encyclopaedia and listened to what we wanted and gave us ideas to think about. He drove us all the way with a smile on his face and with a heart for the environment. Asante Sana Rodgeb!
We highly recommend Flash Safaris & Fotography as a tour operator. We really got an excellent trip. It was a great adventure starting in Arusha, then visiting several Parks, a few days at the beach of Zanzibar and ending in Stonetown at the Zanzibar Coffehouse in the middle of the town.
We felt Karibu Sana and like tot say Asanta Sana to Magda, Edward, Rodgeb and all the kind Tanzanian and Zanzibarian people who made our trip unforgettable. Dank jullie wel voor alles!

Amazing and fabulous Safari vacation
We were 2 families and Flash planned every detail of our vacation with professionalism and caring. As a smaller more flexible company, all special requests were met with understanding and a smile. Flash not only arranged our safari with a fabulous and wonderful guide named Adam - but all lodges and the tent camp were perfectly chosen to give us an amazing overall experience. They also handled our Zanzibar portion and that was carried out with the same professionalism and perfection as the rest of the trip. I can't say enough good things about Flash - from the moment we contacted them via email and until we were on our plane home we felt Flash with us, and how important it was to them that we have an amazing time.

Asante sana
We highly recommend Flash Safaris and Photography as a tour operator. Already the preparation of the trip was very professional. Magda took care of all our wishes and preferences.
The service of Flash Safaris in Tansania was excellent, warm and personal. We appreciated very much the presence of Magda and Edward on the airport and we felt very welcome when we arrived in Arusha. The trip was perfect organized and outperformed our high expectations. Especially we estimated the knowhow, patience and friendliness of our guide Adam. In the Serengeti he changed short term the schedule so we could enjoy the migration of the wildebeests. Adam is a careful and patient driver and an exceptional guide.
With the kind people of Flash Safaris we got an exellent value for our money! The trip was an unforgettable adventure. Thank you so much.
Professional team, flexible, they understand what you want and what you do not want!
My friend and I heard about Flash safary from friends. The preparation and the booking of this safary was easy and communication very good.
When we arrived all was prepared, ready to go with our drivers/guide who was very knwoledgable on the animals life, who know where to go to see the animals avoiding too many cars !
One week eceptionnal. Definitely my best hollidays in 40 years.
Many thanks to Magda and his good team.
I only can recommend Flash Safary to all those who want to be quiet and not anwious in term of organisation.
Certainly not easy in such country to have a week done with no problem at all.
We will come back!
Merci Magda and Adams (our guide)

Wonderful experience
from the time we requested a quote communication was excellent. Magda met us at the Airport and introduced us to our guide, Jackson who was a very good and obliging guide for the next 6 days. We especially loved the Safari camps we stayed at. the food was so freSh and delicious and the staff great. BUT best of all was the animals - we saw so much - just brilliAnt. Including the Big 5 and the tail end of the migration. Highly recommend Flash.

The whole trip is was exelent, very Well arranged by Magda. On the safari drive we had a really good guide called Adam , who knows the wildlife And surroundings very good.

Our last days we spent on Zanzibar with its faboulus white beaches And relaxt atmosfhere. When we book our next trip we absolutely book by Flash Safari's !

Flash (I will be) Back
My first trip to Africa I booked with Flash and was really a life time experience. Magda, Edward and their staff are very professional and make you feel real welcome. They proved nothing is to much in helping you. There quick intervention when I experienced some health problems in the bush was outstanding. Things were fixed in no time and the safari could continue.
Thanks to the experienced and very professional guide Adam I had a perfect time in the Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire Parks.
Flash selects only the best lodges. Also the tented lodges were perfect.
Sleeping in a tent surrounded by wildebeest and zebra’s and hearing a lion roaring close by is so freaking exiting!
The pictures I took are beautiful and I enjoy looking at them and Photoshopping them but new plans are made to go back to Tanzania. And my tour operator definitely will be Flash Safaris and Photography !

Wonderful Safari-Trip!
After more than 20 years back in Africa on a Safari-trip! My wife, our two teenaged sons and I could spend 12 days in Tanzania and Zanzibar. We had a six days Safari in four different parks (Tarangire, Manyara, Ndutu/Serengeti and Ngorongoro) Everything was very well organised by Magda and Richard from Flash Safaris for a really fair prize! The lodges were all excellent and located at wonderful spots! Melek, our driver/guide, was a friendly and experienced man, who looked carefully after us. He was a good driver, who didn't speed or rush, just that we would see the Big Five! To every question he knew an interesting answer and his knowledge about the country Tanzania and its wildlife was astonishing! After this adventure (we will never forget!), we relaxed in an exquisite place called Ocean Paradise in Zanzibar.
For the whole family it was a great journey and we thank the Flash-Safaris-Team for the perfect organisation!
This agency really gets 5 stars!!!

Great service, excellent organisation and once in a lifetime experience!
We really enjoyed our safari trip with Flash Safaris to Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Tarengire and Arusha National Park. We spoke with Magda about our wishes and she gave us great advice about what parks to see. We even did a balloon safari over the Serengeti. Our guide was a former wildlife preservator from Serengeti and knew all the right spots to see animals (i.e. leopards; lions etc.) We had an amazing time and can recommend Flash Safaris to everyone!
