One of the best tours I have ever taken
It had been my dream to travel to the national parks in Kenya and see Africa's rich wildlife including the Big Five (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard). I am glad that I chose Africa Flash Mc Tours & Travel. I first found them through safaribookings.com. They had good reviews and their contact person Peter was responsive from the start regarding my inquiries on their 5 day private safari package covering Amboseli, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Though a bit on the expensive side for us, it seemed to meet our requirements in terms of the itinerary as well as the accommodations and so we booked it about three months in advance with 50% of the payment made at the time of booking and the remaining 50% completed closer to the start date of our safari.
The safari vehicles provided during the tour were 4X4 Land Cruisers which is what you need for navigating the terrain in these parks. The top part of these vehicles can be opened during game drives for proper wildlife viewing and photography. We had two excellent tour guides cum drivers, Jackson and Simon, who left no stone unturned to help us spot and identify the different wildlife around us, and went above and beyond to cater to the needs of our family during the tour. I told them that we love to see all the wildlife but my favorite one was the leopard which is the hardest to spot among the Big Five.
During the five days of safari we spotted more than thirty different species of animals and birds, including elephants at Amboseli, rhinos and buffaloes at Nakuru and cheetahs and lions in Masai Mara. The crowning moment was perhaps our encounter in Masai Mara with the elusive leopard - a female and her cub, thanks to Simon who was our driver and guide for Masai Mara. It was the last of the Big Five that we spotted and Simon was absolutely determined to make sure that we did not leave Masai Mara without seeing the leopard.
The accommodations provided during the tour were all consistent with those described in the itinerary. They were comfortable and provided the much treasured experience of living in luxury tented camps situated inside the parks (Flamingo Hill Camp at Nakuru and Mara Sopa in Masai Mara) or in the proximity of park entrance (Kibo Lodge at Amboseli). Lying down on a comfortable bed at night inside the tented camps and falling asleep while listening to sounds of all the wildlife around is an experience in itself that all safari lovers will cherish. The spreads at all the buffets were amazing and the boxed lunches provided during the day game-drives were thoughtfully put together keeping in mind our dietary preferences (we had one vegetarian in our family).
In summary, I was blown away by the experience we had during the tour: clearly one of the best that we have ever taken. I would give them 10 out of 5 stars if that were possible !

Great African Safari
It was my first African safari, my previous all safari tour was in south Asian and south east Asian. Big difference was extensive whole day safari, abundance of different animals found rarely in south and south east Asia. Owner Peter was very kind to solve any problem encounter during our tour (I find him he is a great music lover during conversation with my child). My guide and driver Dennis is a great entertainer, very charming person, very knowledgeable about African wildlife take us appropriate place in appropriate time, he is also try to make me happy when I was worried about my rest of family in Bangladesh ( In that time our country was experience a mass people movement against fallen government and mass extrajudicial killing) . Accommodation was average and Wi-Fi quality was not good, the journey from Nakuru to Amboseli was hectic but we also cover some part of Naivasha on the way . But compare our great safari experience it is not countable and we are happy with our overall experiences. Thank you very much to Africa Flash Mc to give us such a great experience, I have plan to visit other African country in future

Exceptional Experience with Flash McTour!
My recent trip with Flash McTour was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, Edward from Flash Mctour ensured that every detail was handled seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty and adventure that Africa has to offer. The itinerary was well-organized, offering a perfect mix of excitement, education, and relaxation.
Everything during the 9 day trip was well prepair even beyond my expectation!!! Some details especially,i forgot to confirm with Peter befor my trip,but when i contacted him,always got a "Yes"answer!!! How is your feeling when you have lunch at a tabel in the reserve but when others
have on the ground.Condition of vehicle(Land cruiser) is very comfort too.
What truly set Flash McTour apart was the professionalism and knowledge of Edward. He is not only experts in the local wildlife and culture but also genuinely passionate about sharing their insights. Whether we were on safari, exploring vibrant local markets, or visiting historic landmarks, Edward made every moment informative and enjoyable.
The accommodations were comfortable, and the attention to safety was reassuring. And we all lived in the camps and lodges we booked.Edward and Peter catered to all our needs, including dietary restrictions, making the trip personalized and hassle-free. We felt taken care of from the moment we arrived until the very end.

Unforgettable Kenyan Safari: A Perfect Family Adventure with African Flash McTours
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya with my fourteen-year-old daughter, organized by African Flash McTours & Travel. From the moment we landed, the entire experience was smooth and professional, thanks to our tour consultant, Eston Manegene, and our phenomenal guide, Simon.
Simon's expertise and passion for the wildlife and local culture truly elevated the trip. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals and shared fascinating insights into the ecosystem and Masai Mara'sMara's rich history. Whether it was our first exhilarating game drive or witnessing the majestic lion pride, Simon ensured we had front-row seats to the magic of the African savanna.
Our accommodations within the Masai Mara National Reserve were comfortable and a sanctuary amidst the wild beauty. Every detail—from the delicious meals to the stunning landscapes—was well-coordinated, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Highlights of the trip included the iconic migration of wildebeests, a serene balloon safari, and a heartwarming visit to a traditional Masai village, where we were welcomed with songs and dances that left a lasting impression.
African Flash McTours provided exceptional service, ensuring our safety and comfort at every step. Simon's guidance made this experience one that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the wild beauty of Kenya. Every moment was well-paced, safe, and thrilling—a perfect adventure for families or anyone eager to immerse themselves in nature.
This is an excellent choice for anyone considering a safari. You'll leave with memories to treasure for a lifetime!

Trip of a lifetime
Three of us booked a five day safari with Africa Flash Tours and we couldn't have been more happy. Flash Tours very flexible and adapted to our plans and the safari was well planned and supported. Their suggestions for places to stay and adventures were all perfect and of excellent quality. Our fantastic tour guide was Edward - he was knowledgeable, enthusiastic (as excited about seeing a Rhino as we were!), had great vision, a good sense of humor, and was an excellent driver.

Excellent Safari and Value for Money!!!
After my first encounter with Africa Flash McTours, I was impressed by the detailed information and fast response to my emails. I was abit skeptical when it came to making my payment as I had to pay the full amount upfront, and this was explained as I was booking my tour a few weeks to my date of departure and it was a Peak Season and Lodges only confirmed payment upon full payment during that period. I requested a few reviews from previous clients and after their positive feedback I continued with the booking.
The 3 days safari was unforgettable. Excellent accommodation - the main highlight being the cottages. The staff were wonderful. Cyrus was a wonderful guide and good luck ensured amazing animal viewing and Cyrus knew exactly where to take us. I know there are many travel agents but I would highly recommend Africa Flash McTours.

Trustworthy and Reliable Operator will Go above and beyond for you to enjoy yourself
Peter answered possibly over 50 emails to customize our trip to our liking with all his experience.
We had a memorable and excellent trip. Everything went smoothly. His suggestions were great,Leonard was an excellent guide. I would go back to him for a trip to Tanzania or Uganda in the future, my Mother is infact in the process with booking with these guys for next year!
Agree with the other feedback when they stat this listing is made under the Mount Kenya attraction. Someone should move it to the general safari category.

Flexible and individual planing
With our family (2 adults, 2 kids, 11Y) we had an individual adapted planing of our safari, longer stay at the lodge and a flight. The diver was perfectly looking after us and it was a plaisant understanding with leonard. We would recommend this travel to everyone.

Well rounded
I recently took the Amboseli 2day, 1night tour with Africa Flash Mc Tours and had an excellent experience. Whilst the destination meeting expectations is a huge part of the trip, the customer service can really add or destroy the experience. In this case I must say that Leonard was an excellent guide and ambassador for his country. Africa Flash Mc Tours really went out of their way to respond to all my questions immediately and were very solution focused. Nothing got in the way of finding a solution for me.
As it was I ended up being a solo traveler and not only did they not increase the cost to me, they also didn’t cancel based on no other travelers taking part. That is dedication to customer service. Leonard knew that I was obsessed with seeing Mount Kilimanjaro from the Kenyan side and eventhough this is not guaranteed as there might be cloud cover, the moment he saw Kili “peeping out” from above the clouds he pointed it out to me. What a sight!!
We stopped at a Maasai village which I’m glad we did, however, I did find it a little “commercialized”… That could be from the basis that I am from Africa and had on some level romanticized what it would be like. I expected it to be a far more “remote” experience.
Leonard was very knowledgeable across a lot of different subjects which made it really special for me. We discussed from wildlife, to nature, culture, personalities regardless of nationality, the origin of different nationalities across the world, Corinne Hoffman’s book “The White Maasai” etc… Leonard was attentive and picked up on the things that would make a difference to me and then made sure I experienced them – for example climbing up a hill to a truly special view point….. no tourist trap experiences.
In closing, as a woman travelling alone, security is of the utmost importance and at all times I felt safe with Leonard on the Africa Flash Mc Tour. I cannot wait to have another trip with them.
