A life changing and incredible family holiday that created memories that will last a life time! - From start to finish Peter and the team were incredible. From coordinating the initial safari, through to giving additional options to make the trip even more memorable. The three options we added were: 1: Hot air balloon over the Masai Mara at dawn - though it was an early start (4 am) it was an absolutely awesome experience. It was expensive, but worth every penny. The breakfast set up in the Masai Mara afterwards was superb and far beyond our expectations. 2. Masaai Village - we went to this in the morning before heading to Lake Nakuru. It was really wonderful to see a genuine operating Masaai village and to see the dancing and get explanations about how they live. There is a very commercial feel to it at the end as the Masaai try to tap you for money and the elements at the end that you can buy were all massively over priced in comparison to every other place, but if you see it as part of the price of entry, which we did, then it’s fine. But be prepared for a hard sell! 🙂 3. Lake Nivasha and Crescent Island - this is a very reasonable optional extra which is also a lovely way of breaking up the homeward journey to Nairobi. You start with a small boat tour around this incredibly beautiful lake and great opportunity to see hippos and fish eagles. We witnessed the fish eagle swoop down and make a catch. After that you go to Crescent Island where you take an hour long walking tour where you are within a few feet of giraffe, zebra, impala and more. Just wonderful. So in this not very short review, I can say that this has been an incredible experience and we have been blessed by it. We saw the big 5, the ugly 5, and so many more… A HUGE thank you has to go to Edward our guide. By the end of the first day he was part of the family, patient, knowledgeable, fun, and a wonderful guide who knew each park like the back of his hand. I only gave this 5 stars because there is no way to give it 10. Thank you so much!

5-star treatment throughout our safari – guide/driver, accommodation, safari jeep & communication - What a great holiday experience! From the moment of booking – which always feels nerve-racking when you book from abroad – to the drop off at our airport hotel at the end of our safari, Africa Mc Tours & Travel have excelled at their job. Peter's communication, from our first email onwards, was swift, informative and helpful – even when our itinerary needed to be tweaked. Anthony (our driver/guide) was a pleasure to be with and became a sixth member of the family over the four days we spent with him. And everything else, including accommodation & food, safari jeep and Anthony's knowledge of the animals and birds, was excellent (and he even found us elephants when noise of the wildebeest had send them into the hills!). As a family group, travelling with children and my retired mum, we couldn't have been better looked after. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter, Anthony and the whole team at Africa Flash Mc Tours & Travel to other travellers.

Flash McTours professional service plus! 9 day safari - Booking a safari tour in Africa from another part of the world can be a daunting task. It is a challenge to decide what company to choose that seems legitimate, organized and has good camps with equally good reviews. All the boxes checked out and the especially good reviews drew me to Flash Mc Tours and the company’s owner, Peter, for the adventure. I was not disappointed. Our guide, Edward (Mathu) was a brilliant, amazing and caring person. His professionalism and support left myself and a colleague with nothing to worry about. Our whole experience spanned nine days and nights in August of 2023. We chose the four-day Maasai Mara tour and the Lake Nakuru safari the starts out and ends in Nairobi. We also visited Lake Naivasha and Ambroselli National Safari Park and were at Maasai Mara at the time of year when this area experiences what is known as the ‘great migration’ of wildebeests and zebras to the Maasai Mara. My favorite experience was the stay at Maasai Mara which offered fantastic and high-end accommodations. There were breathtaking moments and memorable sites. We were guided by experienced and knowledgeable staff who knew exactly how, when and where we had to go to view such rare sightings as a black rhino! At the end of the trip in Nairobi we had access to a giraffe preserve, toured Karen Blixen’s home and even had a hotel to freshen up before we departed the airport in Nairobi. During our journey, we heard much positive feedback about Peter’s generosity to his staff during Covid and about his support and integrity. Gratitude to those at Flash Mc Tours who made our experience so memorable – I highly recommend this company for your safari!

Chilled driver anthony and saw every animal I could think of in abundance. Nice accomodations. No hassle or scams. - I had a fantastic time. Really chilled out driver Anthony. We saw a leopard up close, over 12 lions, 5 cheetah, about 50 elephants and 10 rhino. Giraffe, zebra and rare stuff I didn't recognise. He made stops when I wanted to eat and use the toilet and we had good street food.

Incredible - Just back from a wonderful safari with Africa Flash Mc Tours. Prior to the trip Peter communicated fast and efficiently answering many questions and accommodating any requests. The trip was exactly as we hoped, amazing local guides who were both fun and informative. We were a private family trip and they kept our teenagers engagedand interested at all times. We most definitely recommend this company if you want efficient, caring knowledgeable guides and excellent communication throughout the whole experiance. Thanks to all. We really were super lucky to find you!

Incredible Safari with the best Safari Specialists! - We became aware of FlashMcTours through friends / family who live in Kenya. And I can say that this safari was top organized all around! I would recommend FlashMcTours to anyone who wants to do a safari in Kenya or Tanzania. Everything was just perfect: very nice guide; good and comfortable car; good eye to find the animals; organization of accommodation; special stops on the way (e.g. Lake Naivasha & Crescent Island) ... We could see the top 5 in the Mara and Nakuru. Special highlight was a female cheetah with 4 small babies. That was incredibly cute! We slept in de Ashnil Lodge (Mara) and Lion's Hill Lodge (Nakuru). Everything was great here as well. We were lucky enough to always have a particularly beautiful view of nature from our room. In the Mara there was still the possibility to see the sunrise with a hot air balloon. We will certainly save that for next time. Once again a big thank you to Edward, our guide, and Peter. It was an indescribable experience! We will recommend you to others. It was certainly not our last safari with you.

It was an absolute pleasure traveling with my Buddies - It was an absolute pleasure traveling with my Buddies on a 4-Day Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari with Africa Flash McTours. Edward, our guide was an absolute gem. He not only gave amazing insights into local culture & traditions but also had extraordinary knowledge of the fauna. The four days seemed to fly by, from the breathtaking scenery of Lake Nakuru to the breathtaking sightings in the Maasai Mara.Every game drive was an unforgettable experience thanks to the Big Five and other sights we were fortunate enough to see. The tour was expertly planned, with cozy lodgings, good cuisine, and excellent overall management.Thanks to them, the journey was one to remember, full of amusement, education & friendship.
