Outstanding Safari Tour Agency
My girlfriend and I wanted to go on Safari this year. We spent a part of the summer looking for a good package and came across Twinkle Star Tours & Safaris. We read their reviews and saw their package options and found the one that best fit our budget. Other than the financials, we were pretty much hands off, as Twinkle Star took care of everything for us. Even when our initial choice of Safari Accommodation fell through, they helped us find another one in our budget and with the same level of luxury. Our overall experience from beginning to end, was nothing less than excellent.

Safari trip of a lifetime
We had such a great family trip to Maasai Mara, and James was an integral part of ensuring everything went well. Despite finalizing our trip late and too close to peak season, James was super communicative and responsive, and able to craft a custom itinerary for us and secure rooms at the Entim Mara luxury tented camp. Our parents and kids enjoyed the safari drives with our Maasai guide James (different James!), who helped us spot 4 of the Big 5, besides countless other animals and wild life. Director James even personally came to check on us and wish us goodbye at the conclusion of our trip. Highly recommend Twinkle Star Tours and Safari!

Pefect Honeymoon
We just returned from an unforgettable 13-day safari trip with Twinkle Star Tours a few days ago, but we are still reminiscing about the incredible experiences we had in Kenya and Tanzania.
A special thanks to Director James, who was always quick to respond via WhatsApp and email. His patience and thoroughness in addressing all our questions were truly appreciated, and he gave us valuable suggestions tailored to our needs. Every accommodation was booked according to our preferences, and the travel plan James crafted was both comfortable and perfectly balanced. Meeting us in person at Jomo Airport and ensuring everything went smoothly throughout the trip showed his genuine care and attention to detail.
We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our professional driver and guide, Daniel in Kenya and George in Tanzania. Their knowledge, expertise, and dedication made our journey truly remarkable. Thanks to their keen eyes, we were able to witness the Big Five in both countries, which was a highlight of our trip. They provided an excellent experience and made us feel safe, comfortable, and deeply connected to the stunning wildlife and landscapes.
Choosing Twinkle Star Tours and Safari was one of the best decisions we made, and we are truly grateful for the entire team. We look forward to the day we can return and create more cherished memories with you!

Went well above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of and have a world-class Safari trip!
My best friend and I went on a 17 day Safari trip through Kenya and Tanzania with Twinkle Star Tours. James, the company's Director, and our two guides, David and Jose (David on the Kenya side, Jose on the Tanzania side) were absolutely delightful! In those 17 days we really felt like we became family.
David and Jose were extremely attentive to our needs, considerate, and highly knowledgeable of the flora and fauna we saw, which enhanced our experience ten-fold.
We would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to do a Safari in East Africa.

Best tour operator in all of Kenya and Tanzania
Twinkle Star is, without a doubt, the best tour operator in all of Kenya and Tanzania. We booked a custom 3-week itinerary, and James, the Director, worked tirelessly with us to get our specifications exactly as we wished, even changing the itinerary 3 times throughout the trip.
Something to keep in mind is that there are basically three main components of a quality safari:
- The lodging
- The guide
- The logistics (itinerary, vehicle, etc)
#1, lodging, is mainly price-driven. We were fortunate to stay in luxury accommodations the entire time.
#2 (the guide) and #3 (logistics) are entirely owned by the tour company. Here, Twinkle Star shines above all else.
#2 - GUIDE
Our guide on the Kenyan side, David, was a sweet, patient, incredibly knowledgeable man who went above and beyond to give us delightful experiences.
Our guide on the Tanzanian side, Jose, was energetic, friendly, funny, and also incredible knowledgeable. He made our trip wonderful.
Both of these men were the best guides I met throughout the safari.
Additionally, the Director, James, is the kindest and most helpful man in the world. I cannot say this enough! He kept in close contact with us throughout the safari, always asking how he can help, and even giving us generous gifts.
#3 - LOGISTICS
In the logistics, Twinkle Star also shined brightest of all. The entire process was smooth - from incredible safari vehicles, to great meals, smooth transportation, easy check in and safari bookings. Everything was perfect.
I seriously cannot recommend Twinkle Star enough. Our experience with them was lifechanging. They are leagues above other tour operators.

Always at the service and very efficient
I live in Kenya and it’s the second time that I recommend Twinkle Star Tours & Operators to my visiting friends for their 12 days safari. Each time my friends were totally thrilled and satisfied by the experience and the safaris. James, the director, is very professional and diligent for any request. Each time the guides have been very good drivers and very good guides in the parcs. No doubt I will recommend them again for further trips.

We had great experience with Twinkle Star Tour
We booked the 12-days tour with James (Twinkle Star Tours). We were a group of 12 people with 4 vehicles. James greeted us in the morning at the hotel where we stayed overnight. Our drivers also picked us up from there after the the greeting. Drivers were on time every day. The transfers from Kenya to Tanzania and back went smoothly. The experiences in both countries were great. Twinkle Star Tours exceeded our expectations, highly recommend Twinkle Star Tours for next booking. James also came to the airport at the end of the trip with his two daughters with some farewell gifts for everyone. Thanks for your attention to details in planning, James!

Amazing safari experience
I had the most wonderful safari experience with Twinkle star tour thanks to the experienced guide Thomas (if i'm not mistaken), who didn't manage any effort to allow to see all the animals (including the big 5), and also all the valuable information he shared with me on each and every single animal we crossed!
I highly recomend this safari agency for the best safari experience

Call James for attentive smart service. I will call him again for my next visit to Africa.
Toured with Twinkle Star during October 2023. Six days, three hotels, one driver/guide. Each hotel was very different as were the sites. Each day was very special. Accommodation ranged from very good to the nicest hotel ever. George knows the parks and the animals. He knows where they are and where they are going. (He is the Wayne Gretzky of tour guides.) James had great planning suggestions and was also open to questions and changes; very easy to work with. Pricing was good too! I would use Twinkle Star/James again and would ask for George as my guide.
