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.

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.

5 nights, 2 National Parks, Experience of a Lifetime!
Topline: Book this company - you will not be disappointed! The experience of a lifetime!
Tour: 6 day/ 5 Nights Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Safari
I booked this tour several months before embarking for a group of 4, two couples. Peter was extremely helpful via email, answering all of my questions very quickly, and providing thorough information for what to expect. He also helped customize the end, with border crossing into Tanzania to get to Arusha airport opposed to returning to Nairobi.
The tour itself was incredible! Our driver, Edward, was phenomenal. Request him. He was just awesome in every way. He was an awesome tracker, knowledgeable about the animals, was intuitive about what we were most interested in, and was very flexible in planning to meet our needs.
The safaris were phenomenal. The full day at Maasai Mara was my favorite - there were animals at every turn, including multiple sightings of lions and cheetahs. The sunrise is not to be missed! Nakuru was a delight, reminded us of Jurassic Park or some type of enchanted forest. I absolutely loved all of the rhinos, but I'm sure bird lovers would be in heaven. Our time at Amboseli was a bit overcast and we never did get a view of Kilimanjaro, but nbd. Somehow we ended up near herds of hundreds and hundreds on new babies! Baby wildebeests, zebras, and elephants everywhere! Taking first steps and learning how to run. My heart nearly burst.
The accommodations were really nice - much better than expected. The "budget" camp had tents bigger than my NYC apartment that included a toilet and shower. The luxury camps were full scale glamping and simply amazing. I do recommend bringing a small lantern and portable battery charges. Some run off of generators and have lights on timing schedules.
Food was generally buffet style and perfectly good for most people's tastes. We even had picky eaters with us and they were fine. Plenty of water was provided.
The drives between the parks are long (~7 hours). Consider a neck pillow and possibly a scarf to shield the sun. For this reason, I also recommend asking about personal tours. We had a group of 4 which was perfect in the van, especially when it came to the safaris and having spectacular views. We were originally set to be in a group of 7 which would have been less than ideal, and especially hard on those sitting in the back.
Huge shout-out to Peter and Edward for handling a few "unplanned" events. First, major luggage problems - 2 were delayed and 2 were lost. Peter and Edward helped us every step of the way, including changing our tour to private the day we landed, multiple trips to the airport to get luggage, and allowing us to use his cell phone to stay in contact with the airlines to help us locate that lost bags. Second was border crossing to Tanzania. Peter himself met us at the last park and personally drove us to the border and helped us every step of the way. He even arranged a colleague to pick us up in Tanzania to drive us the rest of the way to the airport to make our flight.
Payment: Yes - paying by wire transfer is perfectly safe and legitimate. This was a big concern for me beforehand and I found very little info about it to calm my nerves. Everything worked out perfectly and I do not think that there is a better deal to be found when it comes to value for your money.

Great service - Day trip in Nairobi
I had just 1 full day layover in Nairobi on my way back to Europe and contacted MC Flash and Peter. They were very accommodating and took really good care of me, showed me some great places and got to try some very local stuff as well. People in MC Flash are really friendly and surely Peter will do whatever it takes to make your trip memorable! Can only recommend them!

Awesome Experience
We contacted with Africa Flash Mc Tours for a 4 day safari.
We have arranged everything through the official website of the Safari tour.
We contacted with Peter and sent him the 50% of the amount required for 3 people. We have been informed that the maximum number of persons in the vehicle would be 6.
it was arranged to pick us up from our hotel in Nairobi and then informed us that he will offer us in the same price a private Safari of only 3 people (this was very kind of him).
Our driver, Leonard, was very kind and very helpful. He drove us all the way from Nairobi-Masai Mara Park-Nakuru Lake. Throughout our journey he was available to answer any question we had and gave us many time to take pictures.
The place that we stayed was very nice.
On the second day we visited a Masai village and the school near the village.
I highly recommend Africa Flash Mc Tours for a Safari in Kenya and hope to see them again!

Safari experience was more wonderful than I could have imagined!
Peter did a wonderful job of tailoring our safari to our exact needs and the time we had available. Our driver was determined to make our experience memorable, as was Peter. Kibo Safari Camp was something out of the movies, beautiful accommodations and delicious buffet. We highly recommend Peter as your safari director!

Amazing 3 day tour to the Maasai Mara Safari
We had an amazing 3 day tour to the Maasai Mara Safari. We couldn't start on time as our flight came in after the start time so we arranged with the company to pick us up from the airport and chase up to the group which was very handy :)
The ride to the Maasai Mara was an adventure in itself!! Navigating through pot holes, rough gravel roads, crossing rivers and going through local villages it was bumpy but a fun experience.
The campsite had a built in toilet at the back of each tent! We thought it was luxurious! Food was great!! One of the most tastiest egg omelettes i've had :) Dinner had a good variety too.
The safari was magnificent. We had an afternoon safari the day we got there and saw a lot of animals already, 3 out of the 5 Big Five animals; the lion, buffalo and elephant, as well as many other animals; the wildebeest, giraffe, gazelle, hippos, zebras, mongoose and antelope.
The next day we had a full day safari with a packed lunch. Our driver, Peter, was really good in the sense that he would introduce and explain the animals we spotted and also keep in contact via the 2 way radio with other drivers on where the animals were spotted and quickly race to catch it! Was exciting! and we caught the leopard which is rare at this time when we went (20-23 April)
We had the option the next day to do an early safari (or Game they call it) but we chose to sleep in because we already saw a lot of animals, we were just missing the rhino and a lion killing but we were very happy already :)

Well organized budget safari
I traveled on a 3-day safari to Masai Mara in Kenya with a friend. I mainly communicated with Peter before the trip. He was very responsive and polite. I had some issues when paying, as American credit cards are not accepted. However, Peter was organized and communicated very efficiently while trying to figure out how to pay using another method. We also set up an airport transfer and a 1-day hotel stay before the safari, which was affordable and very easy.
Once I arrived in Nairobi, everything was already set up. I was picked up at the airport and dropped at the hotel. The next morning I was picked up by our driver, Francis, who would be our guide for the entire safari. The van was nice with seatbelts. As for the safari itself, we always left on time from our camp in Masai Mara and on our game drives we saw plenty of animals. Overall, if you are looking for a budget safari, book with Peter and Africa Flash Mc Tours!

Awesome safari
First of all, let me apologize for the delay in writing this review. The service provided by Africa Flash Mc Tours was incredible! Peter stayed in touch with us during the whole trip, making sure we were okay. We chose to do 2 safaris with because their prices are extremely cheap compared to other companies, even though we were afraid this would be a scam or mean average service but that was not the case at all! Their guides and drivers have a lot of knowledge and try their best to make your safari an memorable trip! We would definitely choose them again!
