Amazing
We booked with Africa Flash McTours with Peter and from the start his communication amazing. I probably sent over 30 emails of questions and changes as the time approached and he answered every one of them and accommodated us with changes.
We did the 2 night camping which was exactly what we though it would be canvas tent under a thatched roof on concrete foundation. It was clean and comfortable. Mosquito nets were provided although we did not have a problem with them this time of the year.
We also did 1 night in lake Nakuru. I wish I had done more research or asked more questions. The lake is growing and many animals have either left or have been moved. The pink flamingos were not really visible and that many. It's not as great as the Masai Mara where our driver would 4 wheel drive over the plains to get to the animals. I would not recommend Nakuru, unless you don't mind sticking to the road and seeing animals from a far.
We asked Peter to for a pick up from the airport. Our hotel was going to charge us double and he provided a more reasonable price.
Peter picked us up the next day at our hotel and took us to our driver and the other passengers for the Safari. Antonio (who was the best) was our driver. He loves the animals and you can tell he loves for us to see them! We saw all but the lepoard of the Big 5 on the first 1/2 day drive
The next day was amazing as well. We drove the the other side of the park to the Mara river and saw Hippo and Crocs. Simple amazing.
overall I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a Safari, if you can handle a little bit rougher stay and are on a budget I would suggests the camping. 2 nights was perfect! Peter made all of our transfers easy and affordable.

Organized & Friendly
Last November we booked a private Safari with Africa Flash Mc Tours and it was a wonderful experience. From the start Peter was very clear on pricing, what was included and provided a clear itinerary for 2 days of safari. We were picked up on time, had a great driver, Edward, who really made our journey great. He was a very good driver, very safe, friendly and most of all fun! He brought us to Kilaguni Lodge, which took our breathe away by its beauty. I highly recommend this lodge and Tsavo West for its magnificent landscapes. Especially the sundowner experience made us completely fall in love with the park. All in all, wonderful organization, great information provided to us and friendly and fun staff!!!

Fantastic Safari!
We had an excellent time on our safari. We went on a four day safari to the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Both were excellent. We saw lions, rhinos, hippos, elephants, antelope, giraffes, warthogs, cheetahs, snakes, crocodiles, the wildebeest migration, zebras, secretary birds, baboons and so much more. Our tour guide and driver Sirus was excellent. If anything I would recommend longer in the Masai Mara. It is excellent value for money. The accommodation and food was good. The accommodation is quite basic, but the safari was such a good price so I was expecting this. I would happily pay a bit more for a more comfortable camp. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Good value safari with excellent drivers and a high chance of seeing the big 5
We went on a 3 day 2 night tour of Masai Mara national park and had a great time. There was plenty of space in the van even for the tallest member of our party who is 6'3". The journey to Masai Mara was nowhere near as long as I had expected from what other reviews had stated and the bumpy part is only for about 1/4 of the drive.
We had a great driver called Cyrus who was able to manoeuvre the van into perfect positions for seeing the animals and possibly had the best eyesight in the world as he was able to spot animals hiding in grass that no one else could see until we were closer to them. There was plenty of food to eat at dinner and breakfast which was something we had been worried about but thankfully at no point did we go hungry, all in all a great safari!

Great trip and good value
Communication was good overall. Was surprised when a Western Union transfer was requested for the deposit as this is not for business purposes so wasn't comfortable with that. The tour itself was great with everything running smoothly. The Safari was great. Leonard our driver was very good. Just one small thing at the end where he could have listened better to where we had to get dropped off but overall thanks for a great time.

Wonderful
Our trip was wonderful, our driver Leonardo was five stars, gave us the opportunity to visit a lake with hippos before we get to Nakuro lake. Throughout the safari was always attend to all animals, knows very well the park and he did all that we could see all the animals. He explained a lot about Maasai Mara customs and took us to a Masai village. We love, it was a fantastic experience. I will recommend to everybody this safari.
Thanks Peter and Leonard you are top!

Wonderfull Staff, Total Flexibility and simpathy
Safari Dream came trough and Peter and it's team helped to do it.
Before the trip, Peter was very flexible to change itinerary and hotels. We settled up everything, including final price. We felt like it was a tailored made Safari, but still on budget.
Me and my wife did our Safari alone, so it came to be a private Safari. Leonard, our driver, was excellent, always ready to discuss what to do next and never impose a route or a time schedule. If you like to go with the flow, like we do, this is perfect.
A private Safari on a budget, Quality/cost was wonderful

Fantastic experience from start to finish
We took the plunge to book a 3 day masai mara and 2 day amboseli safari through africa flash mc tours. We were drawn to this company based on peters original commications with us, providing help to any questions and giving us a personaised intinery to suit us. The prices for his safaris are very fair and affordable vs others we looks at. Upon arrival peter greated us at our hotel to welcome us to nairobi and advise the full trip details and plans.
The masai mara trip consisted of joining up with 4 other people, all of which were great and added to the experience. We arrived late afternoon after beating the awful bumpy road which older travellers need to be aware can be tough on your body. This road has nothing to do with peter or any tour company but the governments unwillingness to fix and push people to fly to the mara instead (The govenment makes more money from people flying rather than driving) We had our first game drive that evening and then had a full game day drive the following day seeing every animal expect Rhinos. Martin was our tour guide for the maasi mara, he was fantastic, very knowledgeable, a great driver and very funny. we were lucky to see so many animals thanks to him, which even included a leopard out in the open plains with no other cars around. a fantastic spot by a fanstastic guide There was a option to have a further early morning drive on the last day but it was the group decision to have a lay in before departing back to nairobi.
We then linked back up with peter to move onto our own private safari down to amboseli national park. Our driver was Leonard who is such a character and has impressive knowledge of all animals. Africa Flash and Peter came into there own on this part of the trip as he helped organise Alex popping the question on top of observation hill. Peter had arranaged for the Kibo lodge where we stayed to be aware of our engagement and their customer service is another level and one of the best places we have ever stayed.
From start to finish Peter has been a excellent communicater and his passion for his independent tour company is fantastic! thankyou peter and our drivers for a fantastic experience. We will recommend Africa Flash mc tours to everybody we know!
Thanks Alex and Becky

Great experience, very reliable company
My son and I went on a safari to Tsavo West and the coast with them. It was a great experience, we had an outstanding driver (very important on Kenyan roads), the accomodation according to the detailed written information we had been provided with before the trip. A friend of mine who had used them recommended them to me and I woulld do the same!
