Great experience overall
Overall, it was a fantastic trip.
Pros:
We saw lots of animals. Our guides in Kenya, Alex and Rino, and our guides in Tanzania, Jackson and Tony, were very helpful. They helped us spot many of the animals and helped us find good spots to video and photograph them.
We saw over 60 species of animals, including 28 mammals and 37 birds.
The tour guides were also very knowledgeable and were very familiar with all the animals in the safari.
We got to see a lot of different parks during the trip and many different landscapes.
Cons:
Some of the accommodation were very basic. We stayed in tents with no locks, and very limited amenities.
There was no air conditioning in the rooms. The air conditioning in the car also could not be used because of the dust in the safaris.
We spent a lot of time on the road, and the jeeps can be somewhat old, so they are not the most comfortable.
Overall, it is an extremely unforgettable trip that is very worth going at least once in your lifetime. Just be prepared for some discomfort along the way and embrace the nature.

Well organized tour operator with excellent guide!
We booked a 10-day private safari in a Toyota Landcruiser visiting Amboseli, Ol Pajeta, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara parks in Kenya. What a fantastic trip! We saw everything we expected and more -- including all the Big 5 and the Ugly 5. The number of animals and babies was breathtaking. Our excellent guide, Peter Rono, was a perfect match, providing the right balance of guiding us and giving us options to focus on what we wanted to see. Rono seemed to just know where animals would pop up next, and even managed to get us into great viewing positions even in spots that were crowded with other safari goers. All the arrangements were well made by Dennis at Morningstar, and he was patient and accommodating while we iterated on our itinerary. Highly recommend the folks at Morningstar!

Excellent safari trip!
From start to finish, our experience with Morning Star Tours was great! Dennis was in regular communication with me to provide quotes and advice when planning our safari holiday. The accommodation was amazing, especially in Amboseli and Lake Nakuru. Food was great with buffet meals and variety to choose from.
James, our safari guide and driver, was simply the best. He was so knowledgeable and made sure that we covered as much as possible and saw loads of animals. He made our trip fantastic! Big thanks to James & Dennis! I would definitely recommend to others!

Best Guide Ever!
Thank you so much Morning Star for a fabulous Kenya tour and safari. You accommodated all of our requests and were flexible when we requested it. Our tour guide Rono was absolutely amazing - helped us find SO many animals and took us up close every time. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and their behavior patterns. We had a memorable once in a lifetime experience!

Excellent safari journey with MorningStar
We 2 persons, chose Morningstar as our safari agency becasue of a quite detailed, prompt response from Alice. She is always helpful, patient and agile for all my questions or the situations we met. All quotations has the breakdown, even proposal changes, there will be a transparent update on the quotation which make us feel morningstar is reliable. It might not be the cheapest price but it's our choose to secure us a pleasant, expected journey in Africa.
Morningstar is quite reliable, you can also find that they had a good relationship with the lodges/camps when we check-in in different places.
Alice arranged Willy as our 10 days safari guide and driver, I highly recommend Willy as the safari guide because of his excellent drive skills (safety first especially you may have long-time drive from one national park to another), rich experience on animals behavior and habitat! The most important thing is that Willy highly repect the animals, he knows what kind of distance should be kept between the vehicle and animals, so that the wildlift can be respected and protected, while the guests can also get the good photoes. We should always respect the wildlife, this is their home.
I would recommend morningstar to our friends.

Also a big thanks to Alex ( our driver guide) !! Alex is very good for finding animals! Also know where is the best view to take the photo, you could just make a wish and he will make it happen! :)))
Brilliant
Morning star was a excellent choice. What got exactly what was agreed, they shared multiple quotes promptly and kept in touch. Even though there were unforseen changes to one if tge resorts, alternatives were offered in advance.
This was a long planned trip and thanks to Morning star it turned out very well.
Wanya, Willy we thank you very much 😊

Excellent!
We recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on an unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya and Tanzania, expertly organized by Dennis. I can't recommend him highly enough. His patience and helpfulness made the planning process seamless, and his prompt responses ensured that our itinerary was finalized without a hitch.
What truly elevated our experience were our exceptional guides, Willie in Kenya and Jackson in Tanzania. Both are incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, parks, and their countries, bringing a wealth of expertise to each game drive. They went above and beyond to help us spot all the animals we were eager to see, especially since this was our first safari experience. I wholeheartedly recommend requesting Willie and Jackson as your guides for an unforgettable journey!

Kenya & Tanzania Safari
Great safari by Morning Star Tours. Would recommend to arrange your safari....guides, vehicle and accomodation all first class. Obviously it is not guaranteed to see everything you want....but the guides were able to put us in the best position to see the big 5 and give us a great experience.

Morning Star were excellent to deal with.
We recently booked our honeymoon with Morning Star and they were excellent. We were dealing with Alice who helped us plan our perfect trip. Alice was very responsive to our queries, gave excellent suggestions on our itinerary and was very accommodating of any specific requests we had. The trip itself was excellent value for money and the accommodation was perfect and exactly as described. We had a fantastic time. Special thanks also to our excellent guides Alex and James (King James!!) for a fantastic safari. They were brilliant guides with great local knowledge and showed us the very best of what Kenyan safari has to offer. We can’t wait to visit again!
