Breathtaking. Incredible. Will Book Again!
5/5

This was my first time on safari and it was absolutely incredible. There is nothing like it! What made my experience top-notch was our driver, Edward. His eyesight was incredible and I often felt like he would spot things that very few drivers would spot. In the short couple of days, we saw over 60 African animals (I counted), including rare animals like the leopard. On that note, Edward kept his eyes on the road as well and I felt safe the entire time. The hatchback roof was often up, allowing us to stand and marvel at the sights in front and around us.

If given the option, it is worth booking accommodations inside the park; doing so will cut out 1-2 hours of driving into the park per day and the scenes at said accommodations are out of this world.

This will not be my last safari, and I will be booking with Africa Flash McTours again!

4 DAYS 3 NIGHTS MASAI MARA PRIVATE SAFARI
5/5

We booked a 4 day’s private safari in Kenya with Africa Flash McTours and we couldn’t have chosen a better partner. From the beginning, they were always extremely available and ready to adapt the program to our requests. We wanted to stay at a specific camping in Masai Mara where there was initially no availability and Peter was tireless trying to get us to book our three nights at this camping. Thank you, Peter, for all the dedication and kindness from the beginning

Great customer service
5/5

We booked 2-day Amboseli safari tour from Nairobi. The customer service during the arrangement of the tour was amazing. Their responses were always prompt and very kind.The arranged accommodation of Kibo safari was also very comfortable. Nice food, friendly staff, exciting Maasai dance and beautiful stars made the tour unforgettable one. Needless to say, we were totally satisfied with wild animals in Amboseli. Elephant, in particular, were so lovely. I strongly recommend Flash McTours and Amboseli.

5 days safari to Aberdare, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara
5/5

We are traveling as a family of 4 and had the best 5 days safari with our great driver and guide Simon.
We experienced three different types of nature on our trip - spanning from a forest with lots of elephants and buffalos right outside the lodge over to a lake with rhinos where we could walk around on Cresent island among giraffes and Zebras with a local ranger to finally reaching Masai Mara with several game drives.
We saw all of the big fives except for the rhino and Simon did a fantastic job taking us to see as many of the many different animals as possible. He went above and beyond to show us as much as possible and in general making sure we felt comfortable and had a good time.
We would like to highlight the Zebra Plains Mara camp as the most fantastic place to stay - right in the middle of the savanna with animals right outside the tent during the night but also great food and the best atmosphere - hosted by the most friendly and helpful staff.

All in all an amazing experience and we can highly recommend FlashMcTours and in particular Simon our driver.

7 days Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasah, Amboseli 5 star experience
5/5

Africa Flash Mc is very professional and provided an unforgettable trip for us 4. I have exchanged many emails with Peter before the deposit was paid and all his advice are proved to the point. We enjoyed excellent service during our trip. Our car was a land cruiser and it was in very new condition.The guide is Edward, who is experienced and patient. My mother wanted to take pictures of the sunrise and sunset, and he took us to the right place and arranged the time appropriately. He also arranged our meals and rest well on the long way. Edward cleaned the car every day and make sure we have enough water. In the masai mara we found 4 of the African big five, but unfortunately we didn't see leopard.We have a wonderful memory and we are really grateful to Peter and Edward. I strongly recommend this company to everyone who wants to go a safari. By the way, I think their logo is quite cool. They have logos on the receipt, the mineral water labels and even on car cushions.

Fantastic experience!
5/5

We were so incredibly pleased with Africa Flash McTours. The number one thing that stood out to me was the level of communication. That was initially what got me interested in working with this company. I reached out to a total of three different groups and Peter was the first to respond with a detailed itinerary and clear explanation of the tour. Everything ran perfectly smooth. My dates changed numerous times and Peter was VERY flexible and patient. The communication before we left for Kenya was great. I had numerous questions that were answered very quickly through email and often times through what's app. I was appreciative that the company valued my concerns before we embarked on the trip. During the actual safari, our guide Patrick (Baranga) was fantastic. He was incredibly informative. I especially liked that he turned the car off while we watched the animals. We would occasionally come across another group and the driver would leave their van running. It seemed so out of context in this beautiful landscape to hear engines. It's the little things that make a difference! I also appreciated that Patrick seemed to understand our timing. He seemed to have an innate sense of our needs without us requesting things. For example, he could sense how long we wanted to watch the animals, when we were hungry, etc. His internal metronome was strong! He was clear on expectations and patient with my abnormally slow energy in the morning as well. At the end of the trip we left our jackets and Peter had them sent to us...nice finishing touch to an incredible team that took care of us from start to finish. I would highly recommend Africa Flash McTours.

All in All a 5 star experience
5/5

Although there was some reschedules it was marvellous, especially since we saw nearly every animal of Kenya's wildlife. Especially the two drivers named Patrick were super friendly. The driver in Amboseli was not our favorite, maybe because of cultural differences. As a Masai he is treating women differently. We have to accept that. But with regard to tipping he was to demanding and unfriendly although it was in our view generous respectively reasonable. Our first lodge was not on the level like the other two, especially the room standard as well as food quality and offer. Maybe it could be changed, to excel the overall experience. Although we have to point out that the staff was very friendly and it was nearby the park. One time we had food poisoning. We suppose it was due to the buffet in the motel nearby Lake Naivasha. Since also the Scottish tourists we met during our reschedule has suffered similarly. But we are not sure. What I did not like was that I had to insist on our last tour in Amboseli, which you had not mentioned although it is in the tour outline. This and the rescheduling maybe costs one star out of 5 but since it turned out that all was fine at the end and it was overall a very awesome experience we give 5 stars.

An Unforgettable Experience and Adventure
5/5

My wife and I decided to go to Kenya with Africa Flash McTours for our honeymoon and it was truly an unforgettable time. Peter, the company director, was honestly a huge highlight of the entire experience. He is EXTREMELY friendly, organized, and prompt with his responses. He even went above and beyond by organizing a special birthday surprise cake for my wife in Lake Nakuru that blew her away. Our guide, Simon, was a huge sweetheart who answered all of our questions, made sure we were always comfortable, and took us to all the best parts of each national park while also making sure we had the best views of each animal. You ride in a 9 seat van that has an open roof for viewing.
The 6 day tour itself is the perfect amount of time for a Safari in my opinion. This was our first time and it truly is mesmerizing. The first time you have a lion or an elephant come up right next to your vehicle will blow you away and have your heart racing. The Masai Mara was our personal favorite, and our guide's, as it is absolutely ginormous and you will see dozens of animals within the first five minutes of entering it. There is just so much to see and it was thrilling trying to find the next animal and get a great view of it. Lake Nakuru and Amboseli (make sure to bring bug spray here) are also both stunning with a few different animals, but completely different geographies. Simon even detoured us to the optional Lake Naivasha where we got to actually walk around an island along with the giraffes and impala. Definitely worth it. Our only complaint was that the drive between each park is VERY long, but it's nice that you get to see such a big section of the country.
We chose the luxury package and all of the lodges were fantastic. Good food, and comfortable rooms, where the staff make you feel right at home (make sure you have small bills to tip the porters!). The Lion Hill Lodge in Lake Nakuru was our personal favorite as you can't beat the spa prices and the bartenders made the best drinks there, but you definitely spend more time looking at the animals then you do at any of the lodges anyways.
Lastly, the optional Masai village tour is also worth it. While at first it seems like they might be just trying to take your money, once you see the school and the kids and their clothing it is hard to not want to help as much as you can. Truly an honor to get a chance to visit them.

Thank you Africa Flash McTours! Such a great experience and I always felt very comfortable and trusting with this company. Make sure you go with them on your next Safari!
