Unforgettable 7-Day Safari Experience in Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater - A Five-Star
My wife Iris and I recently had the privilege of embarking on a safari adventure in Kenya and Tanzania for our honeymoon, and it was an experience that surpassed all expectations. From start to finish, every moment felt like a scene from a nature documentary brought to life.
Many thanks to Peter for responding quickly to emails and listening to our requests during planning. The cost was very appropriate for the experiences we received. The details from picking us up at the airport in Nairobi to booking the lodging, all the way down to providing plenty of bottled water were all taken care of.
Our safari guide, James, was very knowledgeable and deeply passionate about the wildlife and ecosystem. His expertise added immeasurable value to the journey, allowing us to witness the most remarkable sights, including the several close-up opportunities with lions, leopards, elephants and more! The sheer abundance of wildlife was breathtaking—hippos, gazelles, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and countless other species roaming freely in their natural habitat. James was also a great driver, navigating the bumpy roads to make them more smooth. He seemed to be well respected by many guides from other companies. With James, we felt as though we lucked out with one of the best in the business!
Since laws prohibit Kenyan and Tanzanian guides from crossing borders, Flash McTours contracted our Tanzanian safari adventures to another company. This transition was orchestrated very smoothly. Peter also organized our pickup at the border for our transit back to Nairobi with another great guide named Simon, who also seemed like a great guide.
The accommodations provided a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in the wilderness. Waking up to the sunrise over the savannah and falling asleep to the distant calls of the wild made each day feel like a new chapter of adventure. We stayed at the Mara Sopa Lodge (Masai Mara), Kati Kati Tented Camp (Serengeti), and the Ngorongoro Farm House (Ngorongoro Crater). All three locations that Flash McTours recommended were flawless.
The cultural interactions with the Masai people were a highlight, offering a glimpse into their traditions and way of life. It added a beautiful depth to the overall experience, allowing for a deeper appreciation of the region's rich heritage. James was knowledgeable of the Masai way of life and was able to answer any questions that we had.
I cannot recommend this safari company enough to anyone seeking an authentic and mesmerizing wildlife encounter. East Africa is a treasure trove of natural beauty and biodiversity, and this journey was an unforgettable exploration of the wonders of nature.
The memories created on this trip will last a lifetime. Thank you to Flash McTours for making this safari an absolute dream come true!

Incredibly helpful
Africa Flash was an incredible company to work with. Peter was very helpful in helping plan and execute our dream vacation. His correspondence was always prompt and helpful. Our Safari was one we will never forget. Our guide, Edward, was absolutely amazing. He was so kind, very knowledgeable and extremely patient and easy going. He was so great with helping spot animals & was an excellent driver. We couldn’t believe the number of animals we were seeing! This was the trip of a lifetime and Africa Flash really helped make it possible!! I would recommend this company to any and all!

7 Day trip to Masai Mara and Amboseli
My family and I were very pleased with the services of Africa Flash McTours and Travel during our trip to Masai Mara and Amboseli. Right from setting up the itinerary to its execution, everything was organized perfectly. Though our trip was not finalized till the last minute due to COVID regulation, Peter was helpful right from the beginning, three months in advance, answering to my emails and messages. At no point I felt that he was not cooperating considering that there was no guarantee of our safari. While booking hotels, he ensured that my request for wheelchair assistance rooms were considered. Weekend was not an issue with him. He was available 24/7. He even helped us in getting our Kenya visa when my online visa agent did not respond to my calls in spite paying full amount in advance. Without Peter’s help our trip would not have taken place.
Peter has an excellent team especially his tour guide Simon. We had an amazing experience with Simon. He went above and beyond as our guide. His knowledge and experience in the parks helped us see all the major animals. He was also extremely patient and courteous, especially since we had someone who needed a wheelchair. He was always punctual and made sure we left early for all the safaris. Being young, he had the same enthusiasm as a normal tourist would have and went beyond his limits to make sure that we get an unforgettable safari experience.

Incredible experience
We had the most amazing experience traveling through Kenya with Africa FlashMC tours. I typically arrange our travel on my own, but for our family’s first trip to Africa I wanted the expertise of a guide. Communicating with Peter leading up to our trip could not have been easier. He always responded in a timely manner; he patiently answered all of my questions and he was flexible and accommodating in creating the perfect custom itinerary for our family with two little kids. Our actual tour surpassed all of our expectations. We visited Ol Pejeta and Samburu and enjoyed both. Our guide, Edward, truly made our trip. By the end of our tour Edward felt like family to us and we were sad to say goodbye. Our kids loved him and we did too. He shared so much knowledge with us and we appreciated his graciousness throughout. Would highly recommend!

Very accommodating and knowledgable
We had a lovely time in our 3 day safari with Africa Flash McTours and Travel. Starting with a really easy and accommodating way of communication before the travels with Peter, to a really perfect trip in Masai Mara with our guide Edward!! We had so much fun, saw so many animals and learned so much about Kenyan wildlife. We stayed at Basecamp Masai Mara which was also a really nice location, good food and good vibes. Would book again with Flash McTours and Travel!

Well organized, reliable, tailored to our wishes
We travelled as a couple of two with Africa FlashMc in August/September 2021. We are avid and experienced photographers and bird/wildlife watchers.
Booking process: smooth, prompt and always taking our requests into account. Tailoring the trip to exactly our needs worked very well.
Overall handling of the trip: worked very well, all transfers were smooth, without hassle or delay. Connecting flight from the seaside into Nairobi was booked, transfer arranged – all well.
Hotel selection: according to our requests. Rooms were always booked in very good/best positions within the respective hotels. Except for one place all hotels were up to standard and in a good location.
Route: exactly to our requests.
Vehicle: up to standard, clean, fully operational. We strongly recommend booking of a full off-road vehicle with 4WD etc. Pop-up roofs provides best wildlife viewing.
Driver/Guide: well trained, experienced. Very friendly and attentive. Very open to our wishes and suggestions while also suggesting alternatives or improved variants. Knowledgeable about wildlife and birds (and building up expertise constantly!). Extremely attentive to our wishes as photographers (having the vehicle positioned in perfect angle for light and object). Very alert to spot wildlife and suggest photo stops. In a nutshell: best guide we ever had, will definitely travel with him again!
Overall: smooth, hassle free organization, cost benefit ration fully justified, attentive organization, great guide! We can fully recommend FlashMc.

The tour operator was very responsive and detailed.
From the beginning, Peter was great with helping us to plan our safari trip. He was super responsive and worked with us on the price. He detailed out the itinerary, the costs, and what was included and not included. He was able to book us at our preferred lodge, Sarova Mara Game Camp. He was able to book our hot air balloon ride and our village visit.
Once we arrived, Eddie was waiting for us at the airport and was our guide throughout the tour. He was knowledgable and friendly, timely, and experienced. The lodge accommodations were nice and the buffet was really good. The wifi was a bit spotty. Eddie was able to bring us back to the airport also when the tour was over.
We also chose this company because they had an ideal cancellation policy. We arrived a bit late on day one but we were able to fit in an evening game drive for one hour or so. The next day we did a full-day game drive and then went to the village in the early evening. The last day we did the hot air balloon ride in the early morning and then left for the airport.
It's important to note that with the 3-day option, you only get ONE FULL DAY for the game drive. But given that we've been on safari before it was enough for us. I'd recommend this tour company. Lastly, they went out of their way to return a lost item to me. Which I really appreciated.

Incredible Safari
I am very happy that I chose this company for doing an incredible 10-Day-Safari in Kenya. I spent 1 night in Nairobi, 2 in Amboseli, 1 in Lake Naivasha and 6 in Masai Mara. Peter organized the trip and the communication with him was great and easy. My guide for the whole trip was Edward and I can highly recommend to ask for him as your tour guide. He really made the safari special. I had a very good time with him and we had a lot of great sightings: an inredible amount of lions, cheetahs, leopards (all the big cats also with cubs and also lions and leopards mating), servals, a rhino, river crossings and so much more animals (elephants, buffalos, antelopes, monkeys...) and experiences. I have never seen so much on safari before! Edward always tried to get the car in the best position for viewing the animals so that I could get great photos. It was nice that everything was organized and I did not had to worry about anything but could enjoy every minute of the safari. The accomodations suggested by Peter were also great. I will never forget this holiday and have so many great memories of this trip. When I come back to Kenya, I will definitely book a trip with Edward and organized by Peter again!
Asante Edward and Peter!

Great experience!
We took 2 days safari in Amboseli National Park, it was an amazing experience with great guides. We discussed with Peter, via phone and e-mail about every detail of the trip without any hesitation.
Our guides, Edward and John were adaptable, responsive, with a true passion for making our journey as delightful as possible. Highly recommended!!
