it was good experiance, we received what was promissed with few remarks of needed improvements
the comunicattion was good and effective, tour guides was good, flexible and followed our (many) requests
the food could had been much better (we should had at least the option to pay a little extra)
since it was a camping trip all the way the issue of charging phones and cammera is crussial and the solution you provided in car could be good but it wasnt stable and many time charging wasnt possible

Very good value for money
Did the 4 nights / 5 days Manyara / Serengeti / Ngorogoro Crater trip. Excellent value for money including the 2 nights stay in the hotel before and after. Very helpful in assisting in buying bus tickets when we arrived for our departure. Would recommend as very good budget safari. Thank you very much Geoffrey and guys. Happy customers! :-)

A 6-day Trek on the Mount Kenya, by Sirimon route and Chogoria out
We were tree people in our group (57, 57 and 68 year-old). We have a very beautiful 6-day trek ont the Mount Kenya, through Mackinder valley and Chogoria route. But the trek was difficult due to acclimatization to the high altitude and it was physically demanding.
It is important to underline the crucial role of the discussion with the office before the trek which permitted a good choice of the good route.
Day 1 from Nairobi to Sirimon gate and then to Old Mosses camp (3300 m) ; Day 2 from Old Mosses camp to Shipton camp (4200 m) ; Day 3 : full day acclimatization at Shipton camp (4200 m) ; Day 4 : from Shipton camp to Austrian hut (4700 m) ; Day 5 : from Austrian hut to Lenana point, then going down to Chogoria bandas (3050 m) ; Day 6 : from Chogoria bandas to Chogoria town (in car) then to Nairobi. Departure at 11.50 pm to France.
Moreover, the all team (guide, cook, porters) was extremely performant and thoughtful in all circumstances.
Please, accept our gratitude.

Great Expierence and our Guide, Adam - Awesome!
Having just returned from probably the most memorable holiday and we contribute this to Flash Safari. The company was recommended by friends and, after having been daunted by the multiple millions of Safari companies out there, it was a huge relief to be able to have a reliable organization to contact. They were efficient and helpful right from the start. All communications were quickly replied to, advice and alternatives offered where appropriate and recommendations for everything we required. Our experience was superb through the entire trip to the various national parks.Tented camps were far more substantial than they sound and the facilities were remarkable. Small and personal, full of character and an absolute treasure. The food in each was excellent and we enjoyed the ambiance and their attention to each visitor.
Adam, our driver, guide and on a couple of occasions mechanic was the best! He was absolutely brilliant! We swear he could spot any animal a mile away and knew the area like it was his back yard. He found us everything we could possibly have asked for and much, much more. In addition he certainly respected Nature, and was hugely knowledgeable about the parks. He was sensitive to the domain of the animals and was careful not to disturb anything in the parks. A true gent, and great fun too.
We would recommend Flash to anyone wanting an absolutely exceptional safari, and hope to get a chance to relive their delights on another occasion ourselves. Requesting Adam as your guide would only add to the experience and highly recommended.

Mwajabu gave me an exceptional safari experience.
The safari tour was well organised and punctual. I would recommend this safari tour to anyone. Mwajabu and her son helped me a lot with organisation and they are very trustworthy people. Anything you are unsure of they are more than happy to help.

Intesting safari tour in the south of Tanzania during the rainy season
The itinerary of the tour is very good; well filled with a lot of variation. The driver / guide only joined us during day time (not at breakfast, not at diner) and did not talk too much. This way, our privacy was respected and we highly appreciated this behavior. Price / quality ratio of the offered tour is ok. Organization and driver both appeared flexible. Selected lodges were nice.
The jeep was good and comfortable but was not sufficiently equipped with tools needed to repair the car (inappropriate jack, no towline, torch etc.), this can be improved. The traffic in Tanzania is very slow; commuting from one location to the other takes a lot of time. It would be appreciated if the amount of commuting can be minimized / optimized. The driver could drive faster were permitted.

Enjoyable vacation
I went with my Family to hiking/ trekking trip with Lakeside tours. we had a trekking to Rwenzori mountain , cycling on the crater lake, game drives, lake tours , Chimps and Gorilla trekking. We enjoyed the trip , they accommodated our changes to the original plan, our guide Bonny was so so helpful and supportive. he managed all the changes we asked for during the whole trip - change in accomodation, change in trip starting time to suite us after long Journeys, changes in lunches and dinners - even during the trip itself he would bring all needed water , fruits and juices.
the bad side were the Car which was very slow and aircon was not working , due to this fact - as well as the bad roads conditions- we spend longer time travelling from place to place . The choices of hotels were not the best , we had to change the hotels twice , last one we refused to get in the hotel, and we had to search for alternative at midnight. at the end they provided us with the accomodation we asked for.

3-day safari in Masai Mara fantastic, day trips in Nairobi bit disappointing.
We booked our trips with BB Safaris on arrival in Nairobi. Our day trips in Nairobi to the elephant orphanage and giraffe centre were good and well worth the visit but the 1-day safari to Nairobi National Park was disappointing with a 'driver' rather than a 'guide'. Our 4 hour schedule was reduced to 3 hours with an unplanned, and quite frankly, unwanted visit to a snake centre. I didn't enjoy the day which is why I've scored 4 instead of 5.
However, our 3-day trip to the Masai Mara was outstanding! This was mainly through our guide (Patrick) being so expert in knowing where to find the animals and getting us the most amazing sights of animals in their natural habitat and family scenes unfolding in front of us as we watched enthralled. I am still buzzing from the experience!!
For a budget safari we felt we had a fantastic trip that was worth the money.
