Reviews
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)

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.

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.

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!

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!

Safari in 4 National Parks & Zanzibar, a tremendous combination, all very well organized by Flash Safari’s. Thanks to Magda Vrijs and her staff.
Beautiful lodges, a guide/driver with lots of experience, all very well done!!! We started in Arusha National Park, a lovely park (giraffes, flamingo’s, monkeys). Afterwards, to Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Very, very beautiful.
And of course, you also have to relax: and what is a better place than Blue Oyster, Zanzibar??
Flash is very good in organizing your private trip and helping you to feel special. Custommade, feels very good, we enjoyed the care . And thereby offering you, as said, thé experience of our live!!

Unforgettable Safari experience and a very relaxed holiday ending at Zanzibar
We have had a lifetime experience with the Safari tour, as arranged by Flash Safaris. Our 'eagles-eye' guide William, who was very dedicated, with high expertise and had much attention for our 3 kids, took us to the amazing wildlife and landscapes of the Lake Manyare NP, Serengeti NP, NgoroNgoro and Tarangire NP.
We enjoyed the stays in the Tented Logdes, in which the staff took care of delicious fresh meals, nice camp fires and secure nights.
We had the opportunity to stay at the Rothia Valley lodge and childrens home, where we have been touched emotionally by the initiative to give the orphans of Rothia a new future with care and education. Also the visit to the Iraqw family in Rothia was very impressive.
The last part of our holidays we spent at Zanzibar, in the Ocean Paradise Resort. A beautiful resort with very customer friendly staff. We didn't want to get back home.
Thank you Magda, Edward and the Flash Safaris team for the splendid organisation and support to make this experience in Tanzania and Zanzibar unforgettable.

Excellent trip to Selous and Mafia island
This is the 4th time we have Flash Safaris and Photography arrange safaris trips for us, and again we had a fantastic experience. What is so unique is that they are able to tailor the safari to exactly what we want and need, even without us knowing that we need it. The sequence of camps is exactly right, the days we stay in each is correct and our needs as photographers are well taken care of. On top of that, all the logistics /pick-up, flights, hotel bookings etc.) are flawless. We will for sure use Flash Safaris again for our next trips!

Unforgettable Safari experience (Arusha NP - Tarangire NP - Serengeti NP - Ngorongoro Conserv Area)
After the first email contact Magda sent us a preliminary programme of our safari, which she then tailored to our wishes. Every time she almost instantly answered all of our questions. When we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport she and Edward picked us up personally, which was great, especially since we arrived in the evening. The next day we met our driver/guide Melek. What a fantastic guy! He drove carefully and learned us so much about Tanzania, Masai, the animals and nature. He even made sure we could take the perfect picture by pointing out the perfect spots and locating the jeep in the right place. When we wanted to see the crossing of the wildebeast in the Northern part of the Serengeti Melek went out of his way to find it for us. And he did! Thanks to him we were able to watch it from a number 1 spot.
All of our accomodations were just amazing. Every time we were welcomed with open arms without registration hassles. Really perfectly organised! The staff allways did their best to make it an unforgettable experience for us.
When we went back to Arusha airport for our flight to Zanzibar Magda and Edward came to say farewell. Edward even checked if the booking of our flight (which we arranged ourselves) was okay before he would leave. They also arranged a cab for us at Zanzibar airport to transport us to the hotel (which we also arranged ourselves).
I can only say we had a great experience booking/travelling with Flash Safaris. We loved their personal approach and would definitely recommend their agency to our friends and relatives, without a doubt!
