Someone you can trust completely
We were planning to go on a hoiday on our 1st wedding anniversary and we chose Masai Mara. While contacting several Operators, the one who has promptly responded and offered us the best rates was Peter from Flash Mc Tours. He's given us more that what he promised. The best accommodation at the least price.
At first, we were worried since Peter didn't show up at the airport, but soon he reached and apologized. He also took us to the Giraffe Centre since we had an evening at Nairobi. He is a great person, completely reliable. If you do not know anything about where you want to go or stay, he would definitely suggest one and take you there all by himself, and undoubtedly it would be the best.
Although we asked for a Camp before going to Kenya, he chose to give us a better option the moment we told him it was our 1st wedding anniversary.He also suggested that we take a private safari and offered a good price for it.
We spotted almost all the animals: Zebras, Giraffes, Wildebeests, Buffaloes, Lionesses, Cheetahs, Leopard, Topi, Ostriches, Elands, Water Bucks etc. We were slightly disappointed for not finding the Lion and Black Rhino. Since the hotel we stayed was far from animals, the time wasn't sufficient for the Safari. We lost a lot of our time in travelling to the hotel.
Learnings:
1. Talk to you Guide before you start, Make sure the Operator, you and the Guide are all on one page before you leave for the Safari.
2. If you are there for animals, choose accommodation inside the park which has them. If you want privacy, you may choose to stay away. Animals are everywhere anyway, it is only their density that varies.
3. A Safari at Masai Mara requires 2 full days to have a great experience
If at all you face any issues throughout your tour "Hakunamatata! Peter is there". We highly recommend him and will choose him every time we want to visit Kenya.

An experience to remember
From the first moment we contacted Africa Flash McTours & Travel the attention was great; Peter was very nice and always answered our questions and made the booking process really easy for us; facilitating better camps as per our request. As we arrived in Nairobi everything went smoothly; and Cyrus our driver was on time the next day to take us to Mara. We spent the most exhilarating 10 days of our lives, visited Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru, Amboseli and a great small camp in Tsavo East! Some errors in booking and payments were made; as well as itinerary issues but aside from that; the experience with Africa Flash McTours & Travel was a great one

Good trip, great wildlife.
I had a great time traveling to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Flash Mc Tours. For the price they charged, you really couldn't beat it. We did several game drives through the parks and saw most of the big five, plus giraffes, hippos, wildebeest galore, and plenty of zebras. The guide and staff were courteous and helpful throughout and the tents were simple, but cozy. Thanks for the trip.

A Safe and Fun Safari!
I wanted to see the Great Migration at the Mara and it had been on my bucket list for so long that I had very high expectations of the trip. Flash Mc Tours helped me plan a hassle free tour of the Mara. I had a truly awesome time and did not have to worry about anything during the entire trip. As a single woman traveler, safety was my utmost concern, and the Mc Tours team ensured that I felt safe throughout the journey. The lodge where we were put up was neat and clean and the food very tasty! All in all, an enjoyable memory!

Lovely tour by Peter. Great committed team!
I had a great time in the Masai reserve. Peter and team were incredibly responsive to my emails, very accommodating and affordable compared to other choices. I recommend them.

Safaris with Flash Mc Tours
We went on two safari tours. The first was to Amboseli and the second was to Nakuru, Navaisha and Hell's Gate. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, which was tailor -made to fit our needs. We had an excellent driver and guide in Cyrus, who was safe, knowledgeable, accommodating and punctual. All the travel arrangements proceeded smoothly and whilst on safari the range of wildlife seen exceeded our expectations.
Although we would certainly use the company again, it would be good to have a credit card facility for payments since withdrawing large amounts of Kenyan shillings proved an expensive process.

friendly people and very nice trip
I've been travelling with Africa Flash Mc Tours several times (Masai Mara, ol pejeta, Samburu etc) with different kind of packages (budget and luxury), sometimes I joined one of their groups, and other I asked for a tailor made private Safari. Every time I was very satisfied with their services and most of all with their flexibility, friendly drivers and customer care orientation. yes of course some times we had some little problem with the vehicle or a delay in clearing with the Hotel but this can happen in any safari with any agency. The important is that they've always done their best to fix the issues and make us happy and relaxed.
for the long weekend of 1st may I went with a group of 6 friends to Aberdares and everything was just perfect! It is the rainy season so not the best period to visit parks due to the poor conditions of the roads, but thanks to the patience and availability of Edward (the driver) we managed to do all our programs and to visit what we wanted to see.
I would really recommend this agency so give it a try!

Great experience with a very competent guide (Amboseli)
Greatly enjoyed our experience with Africa Flash Mc Tours. Peter, the manager, is kind, courteous and efficient. We were guided by Cyrus (great name), who is competent and knowledgeable, very much the strong and (somewhat) silent type. With him we had two fantastic game drives in Amboseli, and saw a lot (lot!) of fantastic animals - all the usual suspects, plus lions, hyenas and a cheetah! We got the impression he really knew the rhythm of the park, the hiding places of a lot of different animals, their movements and comings and goings: i.e. all you could ask for in a guide.
Other good points:
- Pick up from Nairobi was very punctual
- Drive to the park took less time than expected
- They also set us up in AA Lodge, which was very close to the park gate, and had great facilities. This was something of a treat, since we were expecting a tented camp (nothing wrong with them of course, but still) and we got what we considered an upgrade!
The only reason I've given 4/5 stars, instead of 5, is because they asked for quite a hefty deposit (50%) beforehand.

Great experience, and value for money
We went on the Amboseli National Park tour, and had a great time, and we got exactly what we expected. We did not stay at the Kibo Safari Camp, due to earlier food poisoning, they arranged accommodation for us at the AA lodge instead, which was a very nice place to stay, and when we requested more locally inspired food, we got it. The safari experience was so much fun and we got to see all these animals. Amboseli National Park is a wonderful place to go on safari, and using Africa Flash McTour will give you a great experience, great accommodation and an excellent guide to follow you.
I recommend you to use Africa Flash Mc Tour if you are going on a safari.
