Fantastic Experience
This is the second time we are travelling with Peter, all I would like to say is that if I do it another 100 times it would still be with Peter. An agent must lessen ur burden of travelling and planning and he does exactly that. He knows exactly what you want and suits it to perfection. My experience has been great both in Masai Mara last year and Tanzania and Ndutu this year . He ensure end to ends services great accommodation and drivers. Thanks Peter for making this holiday a one to remember and affordable as well.

Tanzania - Serengeti & Ngorongoro Travel
5 of my friends and myself went to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. In Ngorongoro we stayed in Ndutu Camping and at Safari Lodge. Ngorongoro - we stayed in Acacia camping and Serena Lodge. Our experience with Peter Mc Tours & Travels was very enjoyable. He did his best to put us wherever we wanted. Travel was very comfortable. It was season for birthing. We did see the wilder beast baby birthing while running with its group. Amazing. His price quote was very affordable compare to others. We will select Peter for future travels too.

Great service and trip!
Peter and the guides/drivers he works with have been great. Peter helped a lot in planning our itinerary, was very responsive and reliable. The trips offered are good value for money
With the help of Peter we planned quite an ambitious trip: climbing Mount Kenya, safari in Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and then to the coast/Diani all within one week.
We travelled as a couple. The guide we had on Mount Kenya was very nice and fun. Unfortunately, we had to head back halfway due to altitude sickness. Although we didn't ask for it, Peter was kind enough to offer us compensation for this set back both with a hotel upgrade later on during our trip and a financial reimbursement.
After the Mount Kenya, we went to Masai Mara. We were fortunate enough to share our van with other nice people. Martin's van was of good quality and he's a good driver. We didn't get stuck, like others did. We stayed just outside of the park in a semi-tent, which was a nice place with basic, but good food. We managed to spot the big fives throughout our drives, which is apparently quite unique. Although I was a little reluctant to visit a Masai Mara village, it was very interesting.
After quite some time in the van, also during the safari, the drive to Lake Naivasha was quite lengthy. Looking back, it would have been better to skip that park and head directly to Amboseli.
We changed driver after Lake Naivasha. Edward drove us to Amboseli and Diani, with one of the vehicules of Flash MC tours. Edward was very kind and polite and the van well maintained. Amboseli was beautiful. Traffic between Amboseli and Diani was horribe, and it took us ages to get to the beach for some needed relaxation. But overall, we were very happy with our trip and the service Peter/Flash MC Tours provided.
So book with Africa MC if your looking for a reliable agent, who responds well, and thinks along with your wishes. Do not expect luxury, but just a good budget option.
Take into account that traffic in Kenya is bad and that actual travel times are often much longer than listed travel times. Nairobi is the hub, so you need to pass through every time.
Looking back, we would have skipt Lake Naivasha, and would have started with Amboseli or Masai Mara and flown from Nairobi to Mombasa.

Great overall experience!
We booked the 3 day 2 night safari at the Masai Mara. Communication beforehand was excellent and pickup from our hotel in Nairobi was great. The journey to and from the national park was excellent, our driver and guide James went above and beyond to cater to the needs of everyone in the group. The camp site had all the facilities we required and we were able to meet some great people along the way.
Would definitely recommend this safari for anyone looking to see the big five on a budget but looking for a great experience!

Private 8 day, 7 night safari
Peter was fantastic throughout the whole process of organizing the itinerary, communicating promptly with us to the point of collecting us from the airport. Was very nice working and meeting Peter.
The safari was great. It was organised exactly as we had expected and our driver Leonard was awesome. The places we stayed in varied from good to fantastic and I recommend ending your trip at Amboseli National Park.
My only criticism would be that the safari van is in need of an upgrade. The window latches were broken so you could not lock them (bad on the dusty roads) and also some seats were unable to recline back. Also on the itinerary it stated binoculars and books would be provided, however, this was not the case.
I definitely recommend working with Peter again in the future and if I were to go back would look to have a safari organised again with Peter and MC Flash Tours.
Peter is a great person, very helpful. Masai Mara is amazing, our driver James is a great guy, funn
Peter is a great person, very helpful.
Masai Mara is amazing, our driver James is a great guy, funny and we saw A LOT of animals.
The sopa hotels are great! Amazing food, beautiful rooms! Lake Nakuru is nice, you won't see as many flamingos as you think, but the hotel is just beautiful! lake neivasha is beautiful you can take a risky boat trip to see hippos, quite an adventure!
At the beginning I thought the tour was to expensive, but I spoke with other tourists at Masai and they told me they payed more than us and were not even staying in nice hotels..
so i totally recommend this tour!
Peter helped us even at our last day at Nairobi he gave us a city tour!

Well organised, friendly and professsional
I booked and confirmed my 4D/3N trip to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Africa Flash Mc Tours at extremely short notice during the Christmas/New Year holiday season. Although I had not received a receipt of payment, or details of my additional hotel bookings and airport transfer by the time I departed, I was pleasantly relieved to be greeted at the airport by a driver who took me to a hotel that was already paid for. My whole trip was smooth and very well organised, and the only thing I had to worry about was making sure my camera was charged! One thing to note, the actual programme did not exactly match the itinerary that was suggested - I understood my itinerary included 2 paid entires to Lake Nakuru, although our driver only brought us for 1 entry. Overall, I am extremely happy with the services of Africa Flash McTours. They are also kindly organising to send me my laptop charger which I carelessly left at the Masai Mara tourist camp. Thanks, Peter and team!

Amazing safari, everything was taken care if and best driver ever!
I booked a safari for myself and two of my friends visiting from abroad. We were picked up Nairobi early on a Saturday and drove straight to Sarova Salt Lik. Although it's quite a long drive, having a good driver who considers safety to be a bigger priority than getting faster destination made the ride way more relaxed. We stayed at an amazing lodge next to a water point in the middle of the park. Both the evening and morning safari were amazing, we saw all but the Rhine from the big five. Our driver was an amazing spotter and a great guy to have a conversation with. We did not have to deal with payments or anything else. Straight to the hotel room or dinner. All in all an amazing trip where we did not have to worry about anything.

Excellent safari experience and good communication!
I booked the safari experience with Peter at a short notice of about 1 month and with some changes etc he did manage to provide us with what we wanted. There were a few bumps along the way but Peter was always very accommodating and excellent in looking after us. All his staff were very helpful and knowledgeable as well.
We did Masai Mara Reserve, Lake Nakaru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Parks.
Highly recommended genuine company and person.

Excellent value for money
We did a 3 day safari in Amboseli in November and had an excellent time. Communication with the agency was a bit slow before the trip, but once on the road everything worked out perfectly well. We were just a group of two but had the car to ourselves, which made it possible to get just the programme we wanted. Our driver/guide went out of his way to show us the best of Amboseli and delivered much more than we could have expected.
