Driver and guide for a 3 day family safari
We travelled as a family of 4 with 2 kids (ages 2 and 4). We organised our own accommodation and contacted MC FLASH to enquire about a driver and safari guide from nairobi to amboseli national park. Other family members has used this company and had recommended Peter from MC Flash, contacted me swiftly via WhatsApp with all relevant details. I found this very informative and Peter was very flexible with out needs, e.g. additonal car seats for each child with no additional cost. Our driver and guide, Anthony, was professional, prompt and very kind and understanding of our young family. He was a careful driver on challenging roads, gave us good advice about drive times to suit us but was very flexible. He was good at spotting wildlife, with good knowledge and shared his brilliant binoculars. It's a lot of driving for young children and he was very tolerant of their noise. We would recommend and appreciate the flexibility of the company and Anthony.
Response from the operator: Dear Georgina, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review. It truly means a lot to us. We are very happy to hear that you and your family had a great experience during your safari to Amboseli National Park. Traveling with young children can sometimes be challenging, so we’re especially pleased that the arrangements, including the child car seats and flexible schedule — helped make the journey comfortable for your family. Anthony will be very happy to hear your kind words. He takes great pride in ensuring guests have a safe, enjoyable, and informative safari, and it’s wonderful to know that his driving, wildlife spotting, and patience with the little ones made your trip even more memorable. It was a pleasure assisting you with the arrangements, and we truly appreciate your trust in Africa Flash Mc Tours & Travel. Thank you as well for recommending us, that means the world to our small team. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Kenya again in the future for another adventure. Warm regards, Africa Flash Mc Tours & Travel

Customised Safaris with an excellent guide
We organised in advance two safari’s for our stay in Kenya with Flash McTours and both safaris left with us special memories. The communication at the beginning with Peter was very efficient with him listening to our needs and adapting the itinerary accordingly. Once payment had been made though, the communication wasn’t great and we needed to chase him. James, who was our guide for both trips, was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and birds and was happy to share this with us. He was also a first class driver, we felt safe travelling to and from Nairobi to the parks and when on safari, he was superb in getting a prime position. He also went out of his way, to ensure that our needs were met. Unfortunately we did break down once on our safari however, James made sure that we did not miss out on game time, it just meant that we did not have time to enjoy the facilities at the lodge. Despite these hiccups, I would recommend McFlash Tours and especially our guide, James
Response from the operator: Jambo Anne, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your experience with Flash McTours. We are delighted to hear that the safaris left you with special memories and that James, your guide, exceeded expectations with his expertise, driving skills, and dedication to your comfort and enjoyment. We sincerely apologize for the lapse in communication after payment was made. Your observation is invaluable, and we are taking steps to ensure our responsiveness is consistent throughout the planning process. We also regret the vehicle issue during your safari and appreciate your understanding of the situation. It’s great to know that James's efforts minimized the inconvenience and allowed you to make the most of your game time. Thank you for your recommendation and for highlighting both the positives and areas for improvement. Your feedback helps us grow and improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again for an even more seamless experience. Warm regards, Flash McTours Team

Well organized and great communication!
We were a group of 3 and did the Nairobi-amboselli 3 day 2 night safari. The trip was organized by Peter and our guide/driver was Anthony. There were no hiccups from the start to the end of the trip and all communication was prompt, professional and transparent. Peter accommodated all our special needs and was very friendly and amicable. Overall, would highly recommend these guys- they know what they are doing and ensure guests have a great experience. Will use them again!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3-Day Amboseli National Reserve Safari from Nairobi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 3-Day Amboseli National Reserve Safari from Nairobi cost?
+
Prices start at $1,436 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3-Day Amboseli National Reserve Safari from Nairobi take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is 3-Day Amboseli National Reserve Safari from Nairobi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Day Amboseli National Reserve Safari from Nairobi?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3-Day Amboseli National Reserve Safari from Nairobi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-Day Amboseli National Reserve Safari from Nairobi?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Day Amboseli National Reserve Safari from Nairobi start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
