Efficient and sincere local tour operator for all budgets
Our family of 3 with teenager son. Nairobi, Samburu, Aberdare , ol Pageta, Nakuru, Masai Mara in peak season. Private tour was arranged with a English speaking, friendly, non inteterfering English speaking driver/guide in a 4 wheel drive. Allaccommodations were very good except Lake Nakuru lodge(the management provided a dismal room with not even hot water). Later the manager apologised and tried to set things right but it was too late. Even the Flamingos were a distant sight.
Best accommodation was Sweetwater serena(lucurious) but food was mediocre. Best food was at Aberdare country club(chef Anuj) and it was a cool place to relax. Samburu had good game viewing. Masai Mara was a lavish accommodation with good game viewing. It was a 12 day safari. We were lucky to see Leopard on first and last day.
Fresh air and relaxed time in nature with wild animals at very close proximity in their natural habitat. Wildebeest migration too was witnessed at Masai Mara.
Will definitely recommend the tour operators.
Money transfer/ payments, whole tour , was smooth. Felt safe.

The most amazing travel in the heart of Africa
The safari was perfect. From the pick up at the airport by our personal guide (Boniface) till the end. We stayed in two different lodges very beautiful, comfortable, supported by a kind and skilled staff who served a very good, fresh and tasteful food (Planet Lodge and Kudu Lodge). There were also the bar and the swimming pool.
The safari was marvellous because you must be lucky in discovering animals (it is not a zoo) and we didn't expect to see all big five and lots of birds species, reptiles and so on. Great!! Our guide explained us everything very well and he saw all animals at a glance, for this reason we also could see animals and plants in every part of our itinerary. In case of unforeseen changes, the guide was able to solve them and let us to continue the safari. The tented camps were very good, well organised and obviously safe. The staff is always available, the food is very good (meat, rice, pasta, tomato sauce, vegetables, bread) and it is cooked in a healthy way (ang'ata camps). So everything was scheduled in a perfect way, we could have relax and visit Tarangire, Serengeti north and central and N'gorongoro crater. I warmly suggest a trip like this for people who love animals and nature, with this company.

Brilliant experience with Wilflife Sun Safaries
I recommend everyone to chose this travel agency. They are very responsible and serious. I would like to point out that James, who is in charge of arrangement of safaris, is an outstanding hard worker and very kindly. They did their best. I was in Nairobi, then in Masai Mara and finally in Diani beach. They arranged all trip and was perfect. I also had a minor problem (lost a flight) that they solve as fast as they could do it without any extra-charge. To sum up i only have to say thank you James I would repeat again with your company without any doubts.

Spectacular Experience with Nicholas & Africa Vision Safaris!
Nicholas Kamau and his crew with Africa Vision are amazing! They exceeded our expectations on our trip throughout Kenya and our safari in the Masai Mara! They are so knowledgeable and take care of every detail -- the driving, guiding, translating, accommodations -- and finding the Big Five! :)) Nicholas always has a smile on his face and a kind word. He and his team made the experience so much fun for our group!! Thank you, Africa Vision Safaris, for the trip of a lifetime!

An incredible experience that couldn't have been easier
I decided rather last-minute to book a solo trip to Kenya for a 6-day safari. After being overwhelmed with options from an initial google search and eliminating groups with few/poor reviews, I chose Flash McTours because (i) the gentleman (Peter) was incredibly responsive and informative to my many questions (which, as an uneducated last-minute purchaser, was extremely helpful) and (ii) they actually LISTENED to what I was seeking from the experience and customized an itinerary that met my nuanced needs. For example, whereas most groups offered a standard tour that started/ended in Nairobi, Peter recognized that I was going to Tanzania after safari and crafted the trip such that I was dropped off directly at the start of my Kilimanjaro trek, saving me a ton of time / money as it eliminated the need for a flight from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro Airport. He also was more helpful with visa / vaccination information than Google (for example if you're going to Tanzania after Kenya, a yellow fever vaccination is a must!).
As for the trip itself, my driver Patrick was absolutely incredible. He was unbelievably knowledgeable of the local wildlife (we saw all the Big-Five multiple times), was excited to share his stories and history of the local culture, and went above-and-beyond to make my experience his number one priority. The driver can really make-or-break a safari experience, and I could not have been happier with Patrick leading the way.
The accommodations also exceeded expectations, as every location was the equivalent of a luxury hotel room covered under a personal canvas (felt like I was on a solo honeymoon!). The food itself ranged from decent-to-good (not unbelievable), however given the remote locations of all these destinations I was still very impressed with the quality.
One recommendation for future travelers is to pay-up for the Land Cruiser over the Safari Van. Both vehicles are extremely sturdy but the road conditions are quite precarious and there were plenty of instances where the van would be traveling slowly over a bumpy road while a Land Cruiser would fly by as if it were on pavement. But this is not a "must".
Overall, couldn't have been happier with my experience and would recommend Flash McTours, Peter, and Patrick to anyone!

Very good experience with all arrangements taken care of
Everything was very well arranged. Except for our first gate entry which took more than 1 hour everything else was perfectly planned and done. Excellent professional and polite service through out our stay.

Excellent drivers; incredible trip
I had an absolutely amazing trip, where I saw lots of animals, incredible sunsets/landscapes, and met great people.
What made the trip even more amazing was my driver Salim/Simon. He was full of jokes, always happy, and incredible at finding animals. He adopted the itinerary to my taste and even offered hilarious extra's such as a local experience of eating ugali at a roadside cafe :') Spending 7 days with someone non-stop is a large commitment and Salim made it easy and fun; I would highly recommend any trip with Salim. I also had a chance to spend a day with Ziggy, who is great as well.
Only caveat for safaris in general: you should be very specific with your lodge/camp selection. Make sure to check the accommodation websites and to make sure you like the suggested properties, if not, ask for alternative suggestions that match your expectations. When you spend so much money on a trip, you want to make sure you are happy with all aspects of the trip :)
