  I travel to see things in person that are just not available in my small piece of the world. This trip was specifically to see animals in the wild that I have only been able to see in zoos. I did some research into companies that provide safari/game riding experiences. I chose Africa Flash McTours and Travel because of other reviews and the speed and quality of communication from them. I gave them my wish list and was given two choices of tours: one ‘regular’ and the other a ‘luxury’ option. The options were accompanied by a full list of what to expect from each day. Inclusion and exclusions for each day and prices. I chose the regular option and was able to place a deposit and pay off the vacation over a few months. The most stress inducing part of the trip was from the travel from the U.S.A to Kenya and back again. I flew in a couple days early to enjoy a full day in Nairobi. The company picked me up from my hotel on day one of the vacation, because of airline issues we had to go to the airport and pick up my luggage that did not arrive with me (ugh! Airlines). However, James (my guide) was happy and optimistic. He somehow was able to get my baggage released early and we were off to Masi Mara. Each camp was better than the last and the food was fantastic at each. Those were perks of the trip. The viewings were literally AWESOME. If you have heard of an animal in the area, then I think I was able to view it. James (my guide) was absolutely the best at spotting them. He was in contact with others on the savanna to be sure any animal I had not seen yet could be found. He had facts about each species and explained behaviors that we watched. Each evening James gave me an overview of the next day’s agenda. James was more than a tour guide. He was an ambassador. Not only did he make sure I was able to view everything available, but he also explained some of the customs of the people and told me when the quality of souvenirs were below average. He accompanied me for almost everything and even made sure I ate (noting when he did not see me in the dining areas). I was given information about aggressive sales tactics and information to understand why they may be so insistent. The last day of my trip, my flight out was early evening so there was actual time to spare. I was offered many options to fill that time. I was not expecting this as I am an American and expected the company to be through with me. Having a bit of down time before the stress of travel was a welcome relief. This trip was more than just national parks and wild animals. Listening and watching I was able to gain a little understanding of the people. Travelling tips to others: bring cash. You will need it. ATMs are only in towns, and you are far from them. I do plan on going back and I will be using this company when I travel. The way they attended to details I would not have thought of was wonderful. I was kept informed every step of the journey and felt treated as a guest. This was an amazing trip, and it would not have been as exceptional without African Flash Mctours and James. Asante sana!

• A brilliant experience and good value

  We had a wonderful safari with Africa Flash McTours, seeing absolutely everything we could have wished for, including two leopards in a tree with some prey - a real treat! Peter was straightforward to deal with over emails before and after we booked (though occasionally a little slow to reply), and our driver John was an excellent, friendly, flexible guide and an unflappable character. In the interests of balance, I should mention a couple of minor issues. Some of the seat-belts in our safari bus were broken and the bus itself, while generally fine, was quite old and more importantly only two-wheel drive, which meant we got completely stuck in loose sand in Samburu twice (admittedly though, Samburu was extremely dry and dusty after a period of drought). This meant we missed one game drive, though overall we saw so much incredible stuff that we were not left ruing the drive that got away! Overall, Peter's packages offer good value for money and on a week-long trip you can almost guarantee seeing most of the wildlife that you're hoping to see. For example, we saw lions on four separate occasions, cheetahs twice, giraffes and elephants we lost count, plus black and white rhinos, and much more. Be aware that if you're driving from Nairobi to Masai Mara at the start of your trip, the road is VERY bumpy for a big chunk of this journey. The rest of the roads you experience on the trip are a bit better, so by day two you'll be well accustomed to the bumpiness and it won't affect your enjoyment. However, the amount of time that drives took were generally around an hour longer than we'd been told to expect, so it's worth factoring this in. The accommodations that Peter booked us into massively exceeded our expectations - some stunning and very comfortable locations. Pretty impressive to stay in these places at this price, an upside perhaps of tourism being a little quieter than normal in Kenya at the moment. Would definitely recommend this company - you'll have a fantastic time. Thanks to Peter and John!
