Great safari Experience
We were 6 in our group, started with a detailed research almost a year ago before booking a Safari tour organizer. We preferred Flash Mc Tours & Travel as Peter, the owner, had a very flexible approach towards our requests. He was very responsive and informative which made us comfortable to start with.
We had an excellent Safari tour guide, Edward Mathu, who was very friendly, informative, positive and enthusiastic. We appreciated his command of English language and his skilled driving in quite challenging areas after heavy rain. He tried his best to ensure that we see as much as possible, we were able to see the big five, 4 leopards in different days, several lions.
We visited Aberdare, Lake Lakuru, Lake Naivasha and finally Maasai Mara which were all very interesting and different in my view. We stayed at Ark Lodge, Flamingo Hill Camp and Entim Camp. The food at Entim Camp was outstanding, even the packed breakfasts and lunches were very tasty and exceeded expectations. Staying in an unfenced camp (Entim) was exciting.
On the way back to Nairobi, we visited Maasai Mara village which looked interesting as they kept their traditions of rather native living, still we thought the entrance fee per person (USD 20) was overpriced. It was overwhelming as the natives were very insistent when it came to shopping.
All in all, our trip was an extreme success with big credits to Flash Mc Tours & Travel, again thanks to Peter and Edward for making our trip a success.

Amazing 10 day custom safari
Nothing but great things to say about Peter, Flash MC Tours, and our amazing guide Anthony. We could not have asked for anything better. Having never travelled to Kenya before, we did a lot of research into many travel companies and reached out to several. We chose to go with Peter because he was extremely responsive, listened to our needs and customized a trip that worked for us. He communicated with us regularly leading up to and during our trip. When we landed in Nairobi, Peter, and our guide Anthony met us at the airport. We highly appreciated the excellent attention to detail, thoughtful stops along the way and careful planning to ensure we got time at each park. Our guide Anthony was extremely motivated to show us as many animals as possible and was very knowledgeable. We learnt a lot about the country, the wildlife and the culture through our insightful conversations with Anthony. All in all, the trip was everything we expected and more!
If you are thinking about taking a trip to Kenya, we would highly recommend Flash MC tours. Ask for Anthony as your guide if you want to increase your odds of wildlife sighting!

Exceeded our expectations!
We had a fantastic trip with FlashMc Tours at the beginning of December. Our 4 day safari trip to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru was planned and tailored to our every need thanks to Peter who provided us with plenty of information prior to booking everything.
We were lucky enough to have Simon as our guide/driver. He was extremely friendly but more importantly well informed about the places and animals, very responsible as well as a great driver (you really need to be with the challenging roads while on safari). He always made it a point to make sure we were comfortable and did his very best to ensure we got to see as many of the animals as we could while we were there (including the big 5 as well as best of 7).
We were extremely happy with the organization of our trip. Everything was well thought out and planned including all pick-ups/drop-offs even those for any extra excursions we opted for, such as the hot-air balloon ride (which we highly recommend).
A big thank you to the FlashMc team for making our trip a great and memorable one! Keep up your excellent work.

Incredible authentic experience with professional guides and excellent price!
Professional, excellent communication, attention to client, their interests, budget, number of days. From the first moment I contacted them till my last minute when I was dropped at the airport to go back - absolutely flawless delivery! Simon is absolutely the best! Always on time, hard worker, caring, good hearted, great sense of humor, honest and sincere! He was my guide for 5 days and I could not have asked for better guide or better experience! The way he treats clients and others is admirable! If you go to Kenya - this is the company to use from authentic experience, local guides, experience, quality, reliability, price, communication, and service. I have traveled all over the world and rarely would give 10, but would give 10 to this company with confidence!

Most amazing first experience in Kenya!
From the beginning, Peter has been very reactive & helpful in finding the best, personalized safari experience for us.
He's very friendly & humble style of communicating (not pushy at all) is what we appreciated very much, since there were a lot of other tour providers which were almost stalking us to book with them...
The 7-day safari itself was really the best experience we could wish for.
Our guide Patrick (ask for him when booking!) was really the best, knowing all about the animals and culture in the country. On top of this his driving skills were impeccable, very important in Kenya, and he was very flexible if we wanted to make some smaller changes to our program. Of course he showed us the Big Five & he also knew about all hidden spots for lions, cheetahs,... in the Maasai Mara, which resulted in a true African safari experience for us.
We had the best safari we'll never forget, thanks to Peter & Patrick.
Thanks a lot guys!

Unforgettable
A safari is always an amazing experience, but ours with Africa Flash Mc Tours and Travels was more than that: Patrick, our guide and driver, knew a lot of things about the animals and also knew the best places or hours to see them. He was always in good mood and we had a good time in his companion. Peter was specially kind with us, helping in things that were not only in relation with the safari itself. The accommodations he offered us were in very special locations and very nice. They made us to have an unforgettable stay in this part of Kenia, before going to the coast .

Just perfect!
Since Patrick picked us up in the airport until he left us in Nairobi every thing has been perfect. We asked for hotels inside de parks (wich is quite important) and the stardart ones were excellence! Unforgettable experience!

Excellent communication, knowledgable driver, good locations.
Booking was simple and straight-forward: any questions we had was answered usually within less than an hour, even when we wrote in the evening.
Pick-up was pretty much on time, the driver (Simon) professional, and whilst it is not one of those latest Landrovers with the higher windows, that shouldn't be expected at a fair price-point of about $1035pp for 2.
Lodging was excellent in Maasai Mara (Mara Sopa Lodge) and good-enough in Lake Nakuru (the rooms very a bit 'minimalist' but the main-building more than made up for it, plus service in both places was flawless), the driver was very knowledgable and very attentive to small requests: we all have our hobbies, and my joy is having my camera with me and asking to just advance a few meters back and forth at times. Having an attentive driver for these small things makes all the difference as a customer. More importantly, and as a suggestion: the 'basic' program seems to suggest safaris should start around 730AM. We requested to be out at 6AM with sunrise, and for anyone who has done a Safari before: that's when the true magic happens and most animals are out. 730AM would be a waste of the sunrise and your money.
At Lake Nakuru, make sure you drive straight to the flamingos at sunrise when the morning-fog hovers over the lake and creeps out of the forest. Just breathtaking.
If I could change one thing, and this is not a negative of the program in itself, then I'd change the program to go twice a day when the light is best versus driving all day to get further into the park. Whilst I'm glad we ultimately did that, driving a whole day is quite exhausting and mid-day is not quite as interesting if it's not your first safari.
Meals on the road between stops were quite basic, but that's simply how it is. Meals at lodges was great.
The important bit is: we saw the Big 5, we got some fantastic shots and memories, and at this price-point we had excellent service and attention to our requests.

The trip of a lifetime
The 8 day safari my friend and I took was even more amazing than I could have imagined.
Before the Safari I really appreciated Manager Peter N. prompt responses to my many questions.
Our driver Anthony on Kenya portion of the Safari was not only knowledgeable, but also attentive to our needs and had a great personality. He also was very good at driving to the locations where we had the best view as possible of the animals.
Victor, our driver in Tanzania was also very knowledgeable and considerate.
Thank you Peter for arranging a trip of a lifetime.

More fantastic than I ever dreamed!
I never imagined that an 8-day safari tour would be twice as fantastic as I expected. The best part was that my friend & I were not added to a bigger group - this was our private safari with two great & knowledgeable guides; one for Kenya & another for Tanzania. The two drivers were skilled at handling the very rough roads, generous with their knowledge of the country/cultures & adept at finding & positioning us to view them. Thank you Peter N. for organising such a smoothly managed experience at such a reasonable price. So glad I followed all those other positive reviewers and put my trust in Africa Flash MCtours for my trip.
