Terrific Safari
our safari including stay on
zanzibar was great. all the locations on safari were top notch. well organized and a great guide Loi doe even managed to spot a rhinoceros.
At the end in zanzibar our first stay was a bit less, but we have recovered from a fantastic safari with top stay locations. The first stay was a bit disappointing, but we recovered well from the safari. the last stay at tembo house hotel made up for everything!

Tanzania is beautiful
Our safari, organized by Magda and her colleaques was amazing and our guide, Hosea, had a lot of knowledge and has a lot of respect for people and animals. All the way top!
Unfortunately, it was one, of te by us booked, lodges do not meet the requirements and that was very unfortunate. Fortunately, we had her only at the end of our safari trip suffers from.
Magda is constructive critical eye on its staff and the accommodation that they book, so we assume that this is not going to occur. We look back on a wonderful journey!

Created great memories and opportunities for amazing wildlife viewing.
Flash was very good at communicating before the trip. Henry responded to our questions immediately by email and we had several video conference calls as well.
We did a private, camping safari, where we stayed in the public campsites in a tent. We enjoyed the campsites and being in the middle of everything. We did stay at a private campsite the first night at Lake Manyara, Migombani Campsite, it was really great. I would hope Flash would include that in all their camping itineraries.
The animals were amazing! We saw so many things. Our guide and cook took good care of us.
Our only negative was the condition of our particular safari vehicle was not good and we had multiple breakdowns. We missed some game drive time because of this.
Otherwise the safari was great.

Great Expierence and our Guide, Adam - Awesome!
Having just returned from probably the most memorable holiday and we contribute this to Flash Safari. The company was recommended by friends and, after having been daunted by the multiple millions of Safari companies out there, it was a huge relief to be able to have a reliable organization to contact. They were efficient and helpful right from the start. All communications were quickly replied to, advice and alternatives offered where appropriate and recommendations for everything we required. Our experience was superb through the entire trip to the various national parks.Tented camps were far more substantial than they sound and the facilities were remarkable. Small and personal, full of character and an absolute treasure. The food in each was excellent and we enjoyed the ambiance and their attention to each visitor.
Adam, our driver, guide and on a couple of occasions mechanic was the best! He was absolutely brilliant! We swear he could spot any animal a mile away and knew the area like it was his back yard. He found us everything we could possibly have asked for and much, much more. In addition he certainly respected Nature, and was hugely knowledgeable about the parks. He was sensitive to the domain of the animals and was careful not to disturb anything in the parks. A true gent, and great fun too.
We would recommend Flash to anyone wanting an absolutely exceptional safari, and hope to get a chance to relive their delights on another occasion ourselves. Requesting Adam as your guide would only add to the experience and highly recommended.

Walking safari Arusha National PArk
Our last day in Tanzania (after work)we booked the walking safari at Flash safari's. The car, the game driver, the lunch, water, koffie tea, was good as usual with Flash. I can recommend the Walking Safari. It's a great experience to walk and "nearly touch" a giraf, buffalo etc. The Arusha national park is small but has a lot of animals. The walking safari goes to the foot of The Mount Meru and is a nice walk, safe with a ranger (with rifle) to join you.
The driver brought us to a nice little shop with textile to buy some souveniers and we arrived in time at the airport.

Great trip
The trip was great - the Flash team met us at the hotel when we arrived, and gave us a quick debrief of what to expect over the next few days. They were really friendly and communicative. Everything was well organized, we didn't run into any issues.

Safari/ Kilimanjaro
the Safari was generally smooth sailing and bar the disappointment of not seeing the Rhino, it was very enjoyable. John is a very knowledgeable guide and a great spotter! The tented lodge are very comfortable, complete with shower, running water and flushing toilets. Food was very good too and the pre dinner camp fire is also something to look forward to each time.
Kilimanjaro - had a very enjoyable climb and John and his team are very professional and experienced. The ascent was successful, all of us made it, and this is largely because of his team efforts to ensure we have maximum chance. John had 2 experienced porters together with his 2 assist. guides and himself to accompany the 5 of us up Kilimanjaro. A point to note is the gears that the porters have are mostly very basic and old, so I would encourage future visitors to bring their old gears in using conditions and donate to the team.

Kenners met smaak en inlevingsvermogen
Een fantastische reis! Niet alleen qua samenstelling, de sfeer die je als extraatje mee krijgt was slagroom op de taart. Je wordt opgenomen in een familie van lokale gidsen, wat als thuiskomen voelt. Magda stelt haar netwerk voor je open om het beste van het beste te kunnen verzorgen en regelen. Daar waar de planning door welke omstandigheid ook, moet worden aangepast, worden alternatieven voorgelegd en besproken. Helder en eerlijk.
Tanzania heeft haar mooiste kant aan ons laten zien en met al veel landen in onze rugzak, is zij degene waar we zeker nog een keer terug zullen komen. De bemiddeling van Flash heeft daar een belangrijke bijdrage aan geleverd. TOP!
