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!

Stay away from this company. Still owed a refund
I travelled as a group of 4 and booked a trek and safari trip with Peter at Africa Flash McTours and paid in full before my vacation. He never showed up for the safari trip and I was left on my own to book another tour when I was in Africa. He promised to refund me my money (a couple thousand US dollars) and after 6 months, he still has not.
There has been mixed reviews on this company on safaribookings. Im sure Peter (who runs this company) has had some good tours in the past, but there are also many many poor reviews you need to be mindful of because they are in fact true. His company is NOT registered with the tourism board and he has a history of not showing up on time, changing itinerary and cheating people their money.
For the past 6 months he has continued to say he would send the refund that he owes my group. Every week he fails to do so. He has stolen over $2000 USD from my group.
Do NOT risk your vacation with this company. Do NOT put your trust in Peter. There are so many other safari tour companies you can go with.

They made the experience more than amazing...
Visiting kenya is a Marvelous experience , but what made it even more magnificent was the effort made by this extraordinary company . Peter was very welcoming and helpful he came to pick us from the hotel and came to check on us by the end of the trip , also our guide cyrus was the best part of the trip he was so friendly and fun and was too keen to make us see all the animals and make the most out of our trip , all in all i would highly recommend this amazing company with very competitive prices compared to other safari companies and they are not compromising in their services as they are great
