Great trip with an awesome driver (Joel)
We visited a number of parks and the experience in the parks was amazing. Our driver Joel was awesome and very knowledgeable. Accommodation was a good quality. Just be sure to confirm with James whether you wish to do a private or group tour. Also try to get confirmation of the hotels you will stay in before you get to Kenya. We had an issue with one hotel, where we were told on the day we arrived at the hotel that the hotel we chose was not available so we were staying somewhere else. Not a big issue and James updated our accommodation at another park as compensation. However, was a shock when we arrived at the hotel as we were not informed. Overall was an amazing experience.

Great Budget Safari with Minor Hiccup
I recently did the 4-Day Tanzanian Safari. The tour was organized by Twinkle Star but subcontracted to Inno Africa Safari. There was a little issue with my arrival and a driver not being at the airport but this was quickly remedied with a message to Mr. Oketch.
The safari itself was great with a very nice driver and accomplished chef. We were able to see all of the big 5, though the rhinos we're very far away.
As a solo traveler, I was able to join with other solo travelers and make some friends during the safari.
The accommodations were better than expected for a budget safari and overall I had a great time. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends and family.

Excellent! Amazing! Great tour company for the price!
I just got back from the 4-day Tanzania Safari. It was spectacular! I was lucky enough to see all Big 5 wild animals. Our tour driver was Alibaba. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the animals. He answered all of our questions. James does a great job with the company. I was able to contact and talk with him directly. He answered all of my questions very well.
Thank you!

Safari was successfully
James Oketch Director of Twinkle Stars was very caring and attentive to our questions and wishes. Believing us without prepayment, organized the entire tour. Provided the most experienced guide. We had the best guide by name Jackson. He was able to choose the most successful places to view and Photo among other guides. Thanks to him we have seen all the big five on several times. He always arrived on time and we were afraid to be late. Our 4 days Safari tour consisted of trips to the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and the surrounding area Lake Nakuru. The only recommendation this update fleet on the safari vans with 4WD, but it is not problem to Twinkle stars, and problem owners safari vans

Perfect budget-safari
For a budget traveller, this is a great option!
Communication is easy, and everything is smooth.
We got a pick up in the airport to our hotel, and then another pick up the next morning to the safari-bus and then we got a ride to our airBnB in Nairobi when the safari ended.
All went according to plan.
There's a ration of water (1 bottle per person per day), but you can buy beverage at lunch and at the tent camp.
It's a good idea to bring snacks. The food provided is mostly local and delicious.
The safari drives were really amazing. And Stanley, our guide, made a great effort in finding all the cool animals.
Don't expect beautiful and luxurious accommodations. It's a cheap tour for people on a budget.
But expect a FIVE STAR adventure with amazing safari drives in the park and great service from the people!

Two exciting and delightful days in Kenia
I would fully recommend you taking this tour operator, because it was a beautiful trip!
The communication with the driver was very good, there weren't any problems. We had a nice time together.
One day we went to Mount Longonott, the other to Crescent Island at Lake Naivasha. It was a very interesting experience. We saw giraffes, zebras, wilder beasts, gazelles and many more animals on Crescent Island. Totally would go there again and book the same driver/ company.

Great Nairobi city tour, and amazing giraffe, elephants and bomas experience
Today we had an awesome tour of the city and the surrounding wildlife attractions. Our guide Paul picked us up from our accomodation sharp at the agreed pickup time (even a few minutes earlier), and continued to a pleasant drive around town in spacious and comfortable Nissan Serena. We visited the Giraffe centre, the Elephant orphanage and Bomas of Kenya, all of which were amazing experiences. Needless to say how transformative experience was to be kissed by a giraffe. But the important part for this tour was the fact that Paul knew exactly when were the overcrowded periods and managed to avoid all of them, thus providing us more time for bonding with animals and unique experiences. Because of the great efficiency we managed to visit some extra spots outside of our agreed schedule, like the Kazuri beads factory and the Karen Blixen museum. Had some super tasty burgers for lunch and ended the day with great show at the Bomas of Kenya. Paul was super knowledgable about the bomas (eng. Villages) and gave us a great tour inside the compound. We are extremely happy for choosing Twinkle Star Tours for this city tour and looking forward to our safari tomorrow.

There are someting you must do in your life,this is the one - Safari in Kenya.
We took a 12 days Safari in August 2018 operated by Twinklestartours, it’s our first time to visit Africa, before we came. We have many questions about Africa such as Hot, dusty , unsecured, no good food ,,,etc, after the tour, it became a amazing journey which you must do in your life.
Kenya ,we’ll be back indeed.
