Unforgettable Family Safari!
Our family adventure through Kenya is one we will not soon forget! We are based in the US and had terrible experiences planning our trip with two other safari outfitters prior to meeting Peter (online) and are so grateful to him and his team. Our family of four includes two kiddos, aged 10 and 11.
1. Our driver and guide, Eddie (more on him later), was waiting for us outside the airport in Nairobi with a smile (despite delays at customs and with baggage claim).
2. The itinerary was thoughtful and well planned. Our family is OK with driving, which is a good thing. Kenya is LARGE and we wanted to see much of it. We opted for one flying leg and might suggest adding another leg via air as it was quick and enjoyable.
3. We loved being in the parks on off season (late November) as we often felt like we were the only ones in the park. This afforded very intimate encounters with the wildlife.
4. Suggestions: Definitely bring enough binoculars for the family. Our camera had a good zoom, but the binoculars were even better for spotting animals. Spring for the safari jeep over the van. We were zooming past other groups in vans and were able to get to areas of the parks that were un-passable for the vans. I had boots that zipped off which was awesome for quick removal for standing on the seats in socks. It would have been a pain to lace up every time. You will be spending lots of time in a vehicle on bumpy roads - if you experience motion sickness at all, come prepared with bracelets and Dramamine. None of the lodges had postcard stamps available for purchase
5. Finally, our trip would not have been as wonderful as it was without Eddie. Our guide and driver and now friend for life made our safari an unforgettable experience. He is knowledgeable about the parks and the wildlife and the country in ways that we couldn't have expected. When on the second to last day we hadn't spotted all five of the big five, he was obviously disappointed and resolved to help us check the leopard off the list. It was because of this resolve and knowledge that, on the last drive on the last day we saw a gorgeous leopard up close. We were the only vehicle there to witness the cat devour its fresh breakfast in the tree (with anxious hyena awaiting scraps to fall). Eddie is a skilled driver, a friend to many other safari guides and, when we go back to Kenya, it will be 100% because of this man.

PERFECT SAFARI !
We had a 5 day trip with Flash Mc Tours with 5 friends visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Aberdare. Everything from the planning to the end was perfect. The customer service of Peter is incredible. Edward Mathu was an amazing guide, a pleasure to be with. He was very knowledgeable, skilled driver, friendly and polite. Edward made our trip unforgettable, ensuring we saw everything possible while on safari.
I highly recommend Africa Flash Mc Tours.
Thank you Peter. Thank you Edward.

Great safari Experience
We were 6 in our group, started with a detailed research almost a year ago before booking a Safari tour organizer. We preferred Flash Mc Tours & Travel as Peter, the owner, had a very flexible approach towards our requests. He was very responsive and informative which made us comfortable to start with.
We had an excellent Safari tour guide, Edward Mathu, who was very friendly, informative, positive and enthusiastic. We appreciated his command of English language and his skilled driving in quite challenging areas after heavy rain. He tried his best to ensure that we see as much as possible, we were able to see the big five, 4 leopards in different days, several lions.
We visited Aberdare, Lake Lakuru, Lake Naivasha and finally Maasai Mara which were all very interesting and different in my view. We stayed at Ark Lodge, Flamingo Hill Camp and Entim Camp. The food at Entim Camp was outstanding, even the packed breakfasts and lunches were very tasty and exceeded expectations. Staying in an unfenced camp (Entim) was exciting.
On the way back to Nairobi, we visited Maasai Mara village which looked interesting as they kept their traditions of rather native living, still we thought the entrance fee per person (USD 20) was overpriced. It was overwhelming as the natives were very insistent when it came to shopping.
All in all, our trip was an extreme success with big credits to Flash Mc Tours & Travel, again thanks to Peter and Edward for making our trip a success.

Amazing 10 day custom safari
Nothing but great things to say about Peter, Flash MC Tours, and our amazing guide Anthony. We could not have asked for anything better. Having never travelled to Kenya before, we did a lot of research into many travel companies and reached out to several. We chose to go with Peter because he was extremely responsive, listened to our needs and customized a trip that worked for us. He communicated with us regularly leading up to and during our trip. When we landed in Nairobi, Peter, and our guide Anthony met us at the airport. We highly appreciated the excellent attention to detail, thoughtful stops along the way and careful planning to ensure we got time at each park. Our guide Anthony was extremely motivated to show us as many animals as possible and was very knowledgeable. We learnt a lot about the country, the wildlife and the culture through our insightful conversations with Anthony. All in all, the trip was everything we expected and more!
If you are thinking about taking a trip to Kenya, we would highly recommend Flash MC tours. Ask for Anthony as your guide if you want to increase your odds of wildlife sighting!

Exceeded our expectations!
We had a fantastic trip with FlashMc Tours at the beginning of December. Our 4 day safari trip to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru was planned and tailored to our every need thanks to Peter who provided us with plenty of information prior to booking everything.
We were lucky enough to have Simon as our guide/driver. He was extremely friendly but more importantly well informed about the places and animals, very responsible as well as a great driver (you really need to be with the challenging roads while on safari). He always made it a point to make sure we were comfortable and did his very best to ensure we got to see as many of the animals as we could while we were there (including the big 5 as well as best of 7).
We were extremely happy with the organization of our trip. Everything was well thought out and planned including all pick-ups/drop-offs even those for any extra excursions we opted for, such as the hot-air balloon ride (which we highly recommend).
A big thank you to the FlashMc team for making our trip a great and memorable one! Keep up your excellent work.

Incredible authentic experience with professional guides and excellent price!
Professional, excellent communication, attention to client, their interests, budget, number of days. From the first moment I contacted them till my last minute when I was dropped at the airport to go back - absolutely flawless delivery! Simon is absolutely the best! Always on time, hard worker, caring, good hearted, great sense of humor, honest and sincere! He was my guide for 5 days and I could not have asked for better guide or better experience! The way he treats clients and others is admirable! If you go to Kenya - this is the company to use from authentic experience, local guides, experience, quality, reliability, price, communication, and service. I have traveled all over the world and rarely would give 10, but would give 10 to this company with confidence!

Most amazing first experience in Kenya!
From the beginning, Peter has been very reactive & helpful in finding the best, personalized safari experience for us.
He's very friendly & humble style of communicating (not pushy at all) is what we appreciated very much, since there were a lot of other tour providers which were almost stalking us to book with them...
The 7-day safari itself was really the best experience we could wish for.
Our guide Patrick (ask for him when booking!) was really the best, knowing all about the animals and culture in the country. On top of this his driving skills were impeccable, very important in Kenya, and he was very flexible if we wanted to make some smaller changes to our program. Of course he showed us the Big Five & he also knew about all hidden spots for lions, cheetahs,... in the Maasai Mara, which resulted in a true African safari experience for us.
We had the best safari we'll never forget, thanks to Peter & Patrick.
Thanks a lot guys!

Unforgettable
A safari is always an amazing experience, but ours with Africa Flash Mc Tours and Travels was more than that: Patrick, our guide and driver, knew a lot of things about the animals and also knew the best places or hours to see them. He was always in good mood and we had a good time in his companion. Peter was specially kind with us, helping in things that were not only in relation with the safari itself. The accommodations he offered us were in very special locations and very nice. They made us to have an unforgettable stay in this part of Kenia, before going to the coast .

6 day custom safari
Our trip with Africa FlashMC was nothing short of spectacular. From the very first contact, Peter has gone above and beyond in helping us out and redesigning initial itinerary drafts based on our changing ideas. We ended up doing a safari for 6 days, 5 nights with 1 night each on Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha and 3 nights in Maasai Mara.
Our driver and guide, Simon, has done an outstanding job driving us to the best places and enabled us to take excellent photos and create long lasting memories. Not only did we manage to see the big 5, but we even saw 3 different leopards, big herds of elephants, groups of cheetahs, ostriches etc. It has been an incredible experience and I will definitely be booking with Peter and Africa FlashMC again!
