Best safari experience anyone could ever ask for. Truly OUTSTANDING!
Elias, the manager, was very patient , friendly and courteous. He answered all are questions and emails promptly which was very helpful. He made us an itinerary as we requested with hotels having the best view at a reasonable budget.
John Philippo was our guide for the safari and he was amazing! His knowledge about animals and birds, and driving skills were very good. He was excellent at spotting animals and knew all the species. He was very humble and friendly and made us feel extremely comfortable during the entire journey. I would recommend him and World Air Travel to anyone who wants to visit Tanzania.

What a wonderful experience! Kilimanjaro and Safari were amazing!
Kili Serengeti Guides is a small but growing company. I was referred by a friend to Emmanuel. Communication from the start was easy. I did both the safari and the kili climb. On the safari side, Mike and John were amazing people! They made me feel like i was their family. Mike tried his best to show me all the big 5 african animals and i was able to see all of them. Rhino and Leopard were the hardest to spot but Mike did his best to show me these two hardest animals. I basically saw a couple hundred lions, 2 rhinos and 4 or 5 leopards and many many more amazing animals! John was an amazing cook! He made sure i liked the food and he's a really funny guy. Mike and John definitely made my stay in Africa amazing. Not only was the safari memorable, i've missed Mike and John! They were amazing.
Kilimanjaro Hike was just insane! It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Wouldn't be able to do it without Dave, Ali, and the incredible team. Dive himself climbed kili more than 75 times. He constantly motivated me at times when i was too exhausted to even talk. He would encourage and guide me constantly. Ali was just amazing! such a nice person. He was my personal butler basically. He took care of me, spoilt me. Can't ask for a better team! I was a little bit sick on the last day of descend and they brought me to the hospital after my climb, and made sure i was progressing well.
Look no further if you want a fantastic african experience. Imma, Mike, Dave and the team cannot be missed! Enjoy!

OUTSTANDING! Once in a life time experience. Lenard and Peter were both amazing!
To give you an idea of our scenario, we landed in Kenya with absolutely no idea of what we were going to do and nothing booked whatsoever. We are a family of three, and we booked round-trip flights to Nairobi, giving us a total of 7 days in Kenya. Additionally, we were in Kenya for Christmas, which made finding reservations even more difficult. Anyways, we landed in Nairobi with Peter's (owner of Flash MCtours) Skype number and messaged him, advising him that we needed a last minute safari trip. Peter offered to meet us for breakfast so he could explain the tours he had available, and he gave us SO many different safari options, allowing us to customize a schedule perfect for us. He managed to keep the safari trip within our price range AND found 5-star accommodations (which were completely sold out online due to Xmas). After having breakfast, the driver was ready at our hotel the next morning. The driver, Lenard, was absolutely amazing. He knew everything about Kenya, and was happy to answer all of our curious questions. He made sure to accommodate us in every way possible, even driving off-road to see certain animals up close. He truly made the trip a breeze and very educational. After finishing our 6-day Safari, we left so grateful that we chose Flash McTours. Highly recommend for anyone.

Three-day safari was a agreat expereince, pProfessional and high standard.
Everything was prepared professionally. I cannot complain about anything. The offert was relevant and detailed. The contact with the owner immediate.
The drive to the national park was in nice companion and convenient conditions. We spent time while on safari with the driver and guide in one person who has impressed us with his knowledge about the place, widlife and by having nice and friendly personality. The service and facilities in the camp exceeded our expectations.

3-day tour to Masai Mara to experience the Great Migration
It was a most memorable safari to see the great migration in the Masai Mara--beyond all expectations!
The tent accommodation was basic, but was adequate for the a 2-night stay. Food was basic but enjoyable. No problems there.
George, the driver, who drove the group I joined to the park, knew the park well and showed us some amazing scenes of wild life.
But he has to learn to let the passengers enjoy the game and not drive off from a scene when he felt like.
Robert, my contact person, did an excellent job in setting up the tour up for me.
But certain logistics were beyond his control--in particular, the transportation to and from the park.
Transportation problem started when when we set off from Nairobi. George had not been given the money to pay at the park and we waited a long time outside of Nairobi before the funds were brought to him.
On the way back from the park, another vehicle was supposed to pick my group up and take us to Nairobi. Again we waited for a couple of hours before the transportation materialized. On reaching Nairobi, the driver had great difficulty in finding the address to drop off a couple of passengers, so that best part of the evening was spent driving back and forth in Nairobi.
For me, Robert came to the rescue. And for that I am very grateful. He picked me up from the city centre and brought me to my destination.
A fantastic trip, but could have done without the transport hassle to and from the park.

Very great experience with Nyasi. Can't wait to go back for another safari.
Davis is amazing. He is passionate about his job and very professional. He is a good communicator, patient and also "charming". We had an amazing time with him and he really passed our expectations. We loved his company throughout the Safari. And yes we Sam a number of Simbas (lions) with him.
I cant wait to go back on a safari with him.

Excellent service, affordable price, highly recommended!
As it was our first time to travel to Tanzania, it was a bit overwhelming to even start planning a 15 day trip to the country - starting from Dar Es Salaam to Moshi and Arusha then Zanzibar and back to Dar. Through a friend's personal recommendation, we contacted a local guide who gave us a ridiculous quote for a 7 day tour. Frustrated, we asked for help from other expat friends who work in Dar and searched for budget tours as well. Luck turned out when we found Emman's Facebook Page. Emman responded well to most of the questions we asked re visas, yellow fever vaccination, transits, and most importantly - details on our planned Safari trip. She gave us a detailed and clear itinerary for Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and to our surprise, a quote which suits our budget. Two weeks before our trip, we've been in close contact with Emman to sort out the minute details of our trip, making sure that we maximize our time, save on costs and enjoy. Emman was very helpful in dealing with our hotel reservations (giving us choices and tips), bus arrangements (Dar to Moshi), and flight bookings (Arusha to Zanzibar). She gave us advise on how to improve our 15 day itinerary and gladly answered all our questions (even calling the immigration in Dar just to make sure we had the relevant info re visa and yellow fever vaccination).
When we reached Moshi, she volunteered to pick us up from our hotel and gave us a free tour to the waterfalls and hot springs since she had a client doing the tour anyway. It was a very thoughtful offer and by doing that we met another lovely traveler who later became a friend. In Arusha, Emman took us to our hotel, making sure that we had everything we need and that we're comfortable. In the morning, we were picked up on time by her friendly driver and the 4x4 car ready for our Safari.
The whole Safari experience exceeded our expectations. Earlier on, we were warned by friends and other travelers about fly by night tour operators, sub-standard services, etc. especially when taking budget Safaris. Turned out, we had the best experience with Mike (driver and guide), Emman (managing director) and John (chef). Emman joined us during our Safari, making sure that we enjoy our trip and all our needs were met. Mike, on the other had, did his best to answer all our questions and patiently showed flexibility to accommodate our requests. John, our wonderful chef, was also very friendly, flexible and accommodating.
In the 4 days that we were on Safari, we enjoyed every bit of it. Each day was carefully planned, packed with game drives and other side trips. We enjoyed the special trips to the Maasai villages, buying a goat for our barbecue dinner, a quick visit to the Olduvai Gorge, and picnics near the lake and under big trees in the savannah. Emman made sure that what's on the itinerary was followed and not rushed.
On our last day in Arusha, Emman showed us around the city before our flight in the afternoon. We enjoyed visiting the Cultural Arts Center, containing amazing artworks from various artists not only in Tanzania but in Africa as well. The whole morning was relaxing. A few hours before our flight, Emman took us to the airport.
Our whole experience with Kili Serengeti Guides made us appreciate our trip to Tanzania even more. There was no dull moment during the trip, communication was very efficient, the driver and guide provided was very friendly-humble-knowledgeable and fun to be with, arrangements were superb, itinerary was completely followed, no extra or additional charges even when we were with them for 6 days (for a 4 day trip), personalized service, and professional way of handling our needs. I couldn't ask for more.
Emman and her crew surely exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend their company to anyone who wants to experience Tanzania in a meaningful way.
