6-Day Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Safari

Posted By : SariKTravels
Just finished 6 days 5 nights safari tour with Flash McTours. We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Parks. Trip was organized well and Peter was very helpful with the booking. Our guide Anthony was made every effort to us to see big 5 in Masai Mara and he is very knowledgeable about animals and the parks. Anthony is also very safe driver which was important to us to feel safe.
All accommodations provided a nice blend of comfort and African style which was fun.
We had lots of questions regarding Kenya and Masai tribe and Anthony was able to answer any questions we had.

Our experience was wonderful and truly recommend to anyone seeking African Safari experience. Memories we made will last a lifetime and we want to Thank you Flash MC Tours, Peter and Anthony.

When we were planning our trip to Kenya, we have been comparing many different websites and agencies. FlashMc surely gave us a proposal that seemed a little to good to be true, but they delivered everything as promised!

From the booking and communication beforehand with Peter, till the drop-off at our hotel when we got back from our safari was perfectly arranged. Edward, who was our guide during our 6-day safari made the trip absolutely great! He was always on time, relaxed, knowledgable about the country, the culture and the animals, plus he had a big network in the parks! Im certain that without him our trip wouldnt be as great.

Thanks FlashMc for this exceptional trip!

We had an unforgettable week with Africa Flash Mc Safari and Travel and our guide Simon.

We booked probably the best tour: Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli Park, 5 night and 6 days.

We booked the tour online, and from the beginning there was a sense of reliability from the company Africa Flash McTours and Travel.
Everything that was promised was delivered more than 100%: great safari, nice car, luxurious hotels, always on time.
It was first our trip to Kenya and we did not know what expect, so the reliability and competence of the company was very important for us, as a result Africa Flash McTours and Travel fulfilled all our best expectations.

Our guide Simon was a great driver, an experienced knowledgeable guide. He uniquely knew where the animals were, thanks to Simon we saw all the big five animals in close proximity to us.
He knows and told us about the behavior of the animals and birds.
Simon even took us to Lake Naivasha, even though that was not part of the programme.
Moreover, Simon has explained us the habits and characters of local people. So all our trip we feel ourselves comfortable and security.

For us, this trip brought a new perspective on Kenya and Kenyan.

Thank you very much!

Travelled with Flash Mac Easter 2023 from Nairobi, to Masai Mara (2 nights), Lake Naivasha (1 night) and finally Amboseli (2 nights), and I can not rate this company higher. We were met by our driver Edward at our hotel in Nairobi and had the pleasure of being taken care of by him for 6 days in our own car. Big comfortable car (7 seater 4wd), safe driver, skilled guide, and who had our planned schedule down to a T. I have been to very many safaris before, but this trip was by far the best I have experienced. We got to see all the animals we could possibly imagine, Edward's knowledge of animals was impressive, and his relationship to all the other guides and drivers in the parks made sure we ALWAYS got tipped about animals when spottet. The lodges that cooperate with Flash are outstanding - personal and charming - where we were taken well care of. I can not recommend this company enough. Thank you for 6 unforgettable days in Kenya.

Went on a private safari for our Honeymoon from Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and had Edward as our guide. He was incredibly friendly, incredibly talented driver, had a ton of interesting background on all the wildlife we were seeing, and new all the areas like the back of his hand, we saw the big five in no time! I can't express how grateful we were to have such a great guide and how much he added to our experience! If we're ever in the area again, I would request to have Edward be our guide again in a heartbeat!! Edward, we tried sending you some photos, but your inbox is full!

We booked a Kenyan Safari Tour from September 5th to the 12th with the Africa Flash McTours using their representative, Peter Macharia. We chose Deluxe Accommodations in particular to celebrate my wife’s milestone birthday.
The tour started off well, and the first two accommodations in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru exceeded our expectations.
On day 5th we journeyed to Amboselli National Park for the remaining 2 days of our tour. As we were approaching the entrance of Amboselli, my daughter, who had arranged the safari for us, received a phone call from Peter saying that there was a booking problem with the accommodations we were supposed to stay in so he made an arrangement with another place similarly rated (deluxe) and apologized for the error. This phone call did not sit well with me, and I right away suspected something foul (bait and switch). Upon our arrival at the new accommodation this foul play became abundantly clear because the new accommodation was nothing like the other two we had been in. It was a lower tier from 5 stars.
Once we established a Wi-Fi connection, we started checking to see if the accommodations where we were supposed to stay had any rooms available, and sure enough they did, but only two rooms. With heavy pressure via phone calls and text messages to Peter we were able secure two rooms in the place we were initially slated to stay in, but one of our daughters and her husband had to end up staying two nights in the much lesser accommodations. Upon checking booking information with the front desk in both accommodations we found out that there was no booking made for the accommodation we were supposed to stay, at the much higher pre-paid price point, and even the last minute booking made in the lower tier one was done while we were at the gates of Amboselli Park.
The monetary differences between the two accommodations were in the thousands of dollars for three rooms. We have received some refund after a week of hassling with Peter, but the fact is, our most important day to celebrate my wife’s birthday was ruined as a result of all the aggravations we had to go through.
Therefore, do not trust tour operators, especially this one, for the booking of accommodations, and be sure to check it with the actual accommodations before you venture on your safari.

Very good tour overall but my wife got sick from bad food or water at our first lodge. Three other people we knew there also became ill with apparently the same illness. That forced us to miss part of our tour as my wife could not travel until the following day as she rested and recovered. We had a fantastic driver whose name was Patrick. Can't say enough good things about him.

What a great company! Peter organised everything perfectly, dealt with my anxious questions and gave us our amazing driver Edward in a well equipped and immaculate land cruiser. Although the drives between the parks are several hours you get to see some of the country and Edward was a very careful driver. Transferring the money worked like clockwork. I would recommend taking a decent amount of US dollars for tipping the staff at the hotels. The Masai village at Amboseli was well worth visiting - very interesting (again take dollars!). We saw more animals than you can possibly imagine and had a totally amazing time. It was great to spend money with a Kenyan company and I absolutely recommend them for a great safari experience.

The phrase ‘trip of a lifetime’ may seem overused or like an exaggeration, but I cannot think of any other way to describe the week we just had. And it is fully down to the care, detail, skill, experience and organisation of Peter and the team at Africa Flash McTours. I was with 3 friends and our visit was 2 nights at Sopa Mara Lodge, 1 night at Sopa Lake Nakuru and 2 nights at Kibo Safari Camp. The accommodation that was booked for us by Peter at each of these 3 places was beautifully clean and comfortable with a great range buffet style food to suit any appetite; lovely restaurant/bar/lounge areas; and the most, friendly and welcoming staff. They were in amazing locations which either gave great views or the feeling of being fully embedded in the bush. Each had a different design and atmosphere which added to the feeling of a luxury trip.
But - what made the trip was our guide and driver Edward. He is an amazing, thoughtful and caring man who without doubt made the experience what it was. His Land Cruiser vehicle was brilliantly comfortable. It had a fridge for storing cold water (used to fill up the complimentary flasks we were given as gifts from the company) and USB charge points. The roof section opened up to give excellent viewing and it was robust and powerful enough to take us across whatever terrain was needed to get us close to the animals. The powerful radio meant Edward was able to communicate with other guides to know straight away where the best animals had been spotted and take us there (at what we called ‘lion speed’)
Edward told us that he had been doing this for 11 years and we quickly worked out that this meant he was pretty much the most experienced guide on the parks. He told us we would see ‘everything’ and he was right. His knowledge of the animals, birds, habitats and behaviours was superb. He knew exactly where to take us for the best chance of seeing the animals and got the jeep into the best positions for us to watch them up close - even adjusting so that we would have the best light for our photographs. We were often the first jeep to arrive at the scene of an amazing animal experience (lions with a fresh kill, lions mating, hyenas with brand new cubs, troops of elephants to name a few), with other vehicles playing catch-up. He seemed to know every inch of each of the parks.
Edward organised our days to give us the best experience of sunrises, sunsets, views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the vast and changing landscapes of the park. We squeezed the juice out of every hour even seeing amazing birds and animals right up to the last 5 minutes before dark.
He was calm and patient throughout, listening to what we were enjoying and making sure we saw it. His passion for the animals and birds was also evident and his ability to keep us in suspense about what was round the corner made it feel like a true adventure.
His stamina with all the driving was incredible and always felt safe and competent hands whether driving across the grasslands or on 5 hour road journeys between venues.
It was a lovely moment when we stopped for lunch in Nairobi and were able to meet Peter in person who greeted us like old friends as well as Edwards brother Simon an equally experienced guide with the company.
On our final day, Edward organised a visit to a Masai village (an experience not to be missed) and thoughtfully took photos and videos of us dancing and talking to the villagers so that this amazing memory was captured.
If anyone is thinking of a Kenyan safari then I cannot recommend Africa Flash McTours highly enough. The attention to detail, meticulous organisation and personal approach would be difficult to top.
Asante sana for an incredible time

My wife and I travelled with Africa Flash McTours for our honeymoon in May 2022 and we honestly could not have been happier with our choice. We selected Flash McTours as it was a locally-run company with great online reviews and great prices when compared to similar Europe- or US-based tour providers. It is always concerning when booking online with an unknown company, but I was convinced by the fact that Flash McTours works with standard payment providers/credit cards, and has many reliable business partners and credentials listed on its website. The Flash McTours team were also extremely helpful in organising our tour in the months prior to our arrival in Kenya.
We customised our trip with the help of Flash McTours by extending to a 7-day safari and we made special requests for our accommodation as we were honeymooning. Flash McTours works with the same lodges/resorts as all other tour providers you will find, meaning your choice will not be restricted by selecting this tour operator. For our trip, we stayed in Sand River Mara Lodge (Masai Mara), Cliff Lodge (Nakuru) and Tortilis Lodge (Amboseli) -- all were excellent in terms of service, cuisine, amenities and atmosphere/setting.
Upon arrival in Nairobi, we were collected by Edward, our private guide. With Edward we were in safe hands throughout our week in Kenya. Edward was also an excellent safari guide - he knew all the parks very well, was well equipped to navigate the terrain and get to wherever the action was (with a powerful jeep and equally powerful radio), had excellent eyesight (for spotting animals far away) and most importantly, excellent knowledge of the wildlife. We were so happy to have a guide who could share with us his passion for observing birds, animals and nature, and are extremely grateful for all his explanations and knowledge. Edward was great outside of safari too, in teaching us about Kenya and East African culture and history in general. You will not be disappointed.
The car provided to us was a 6-seater 4x4 Land Cruiser with opening roof for viewing animals. The car was spacious, comfortable and even included fridge and charging ports. If you book a private tour, like my wife and I did, then you will have this large vehicle to yourself (with your guide).
A final word should also be said for Peter, who leads Flash McTour's base operations in Nairobi. Peter was our point of contact while booking our trip (i.e. before we arrived to Kenya). Peter arranged everything that I described above, carefully and meticulously to ensure we had the best honeymoon experience possible. Personal touches were added too, like free beers in the car's fridge, and beautiful Flash McTours-branded reusable 1L flasks (essential for bearing the heat). He was extremely dedicated to providing us with a memorable experience and I am sure that he will do the same for all of his clients.
Flash McTours is a fantastic tour company and have the have the knowledge, expertise and quality to match any other tour operator in East Africa. If you would like to travel with a locally-run company and support the Kenyan economy directly, I urge you to travel with Flash McTours. I have recommended this company to all my friends and family and I cannot wait to go back to Kenya again - there is so much more to see (we were only there for 1 week) and it would be fantastic to meet our friends at Flash McTours again!
