Perfect getaway
Our trip was customized and perfectly planned by James to the very last detail.
We had a short getaway and wanted to utilise our time to a maximum extend. James managed to book all transfers, internal flights and accommodations to fit perfectly those requirements and we managed to visit both Amboseli and Masai Mara. James was checking every day how things are going on. It was a great experience. Thank you!

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!

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!

Beyond expectations！
It was a wonderful 13-day trip with Twinkle Star from a couple weeks ago! Even say more than perfect! I’ve been looking forward to travelling in Kenya for 15 years, so I have put a lot of expectation in it, and happily we come across with Twinkle star, James and our guide George.
Why they are good?
1. Respect. James met us personally in Jomo airport and even in the middle of our trip to make travelling brief, clarification, and alignment with our guide George in case any misunderstanding or unpleasant things happened.
2. Capability. Twinkle star was the only agent out of five that booked every accommodation as the priority in our wishing list.
3. Considerate. The travel plan composed by James was very comfortable and reasonable.
4. Professional. We got brilliant photos and videos of Lion hunting, Leopard, Cheetah, Flamingo, amazing landscape from hot-air balloon, etc. and this is big thanks to our terrific guide George who drove us on the grasslands in search of animals, even patrolling unusual routes, occupying the best shooting spots. When we said we wanted to see the Black Rock Boys, George took us there; we said want to see the lions up close, George made our car only 2 meters away; when he sensing a lion was about to hunt, he cut to the predicted route to occupy central position even there were only few cars sensed and parked around.
5. Reliable. In the Beach Mombasa Diani, James booked us Dophin tour and glass-botton boat ride with not any personal owner but a formal operational office stationed at the hotel which secure our safety maximum.
6. Quick responds. Whatever for email communication or additional request in the trip.
I would like to share some of our highlights in the phots in our trip, and these all relied on Twinkle star.

Reliable
We've just come back home from Safari trip in Kenya, booked through Twinkle . We picked Twinkle because of most professional itinerary plan. Price is reasonable. The lodge service , food selection, spa, and bar were excellent. We had 5 gaming opportunities and they were all unforgettable. We felt safe all the time, we got picked up and dropped off at Nairobi airport. The vehicle was reliable equipped with charger and drinking water. Our drivers were highly professional and safe. James is the man!!!!! Thank you James for your assistance and for being available through WhatsApp at anytime.
The bottom line- would recommend to all including to myself !!!!

Outstanding Review
Our safari experience with Twinkle in Tanzania and Kenya was an unforgettable journey that exceeded every expectation. From the moment we set foot in the wild, we were captivated by the raw beauty of the African landscape and the incredible spectacle of the Great Migration. Watching thousands of wildebeest and zebras traverse the plains in a breathtaking display of nature’s power was an experience we will cherish forever.
The success of our trip was largely due to the outstanding efforts of our guides, Chumboso and James. Chumboso’s expertise was immediately evident; his deep knowledge of the region's flora and fauna, combined with his ability to track and spot animals, brought the wilderness to life for us. Whether it was a pride of lions lounging under an acacia tree or a herd of elephants marching across the savannah, Chumboso made sure we never missed a moment. His passion for the wildlife was infectious, and he shared fascinating insights that enriched our understanding and appreciation of the natural world around us.
James, our tour guide, was equally remarkable. He took the time to understand our specific needs and ensured that every detail of our journey was tailored to us. One of our main concerns before the trip was how our dietary restrictions would be managed in such a remote setting. James handled this with the utmost care, coordinating with the staff at every lodge and camp to ensure that our meals were not only safe but also delicious. His attention to detail extended beyond just food; he was always checking in with us, making sure we were comfortable and that everything was to our satisfaction. His dedication to our well-being allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience without worry.
The combination of Chumboso’s wildlife expertise and James’s impeccable care made our safari a truly exceptional experience. They both went above and beyond to ensure that we had the trip of a lifetime, and they succeeded in every way. The memories we made during this journey, from the awe-inspiring sights of the migration to the quiet moments watching the sunset over the savannah, will stay with us forever. We cannot recommend Twinkle enough for anyone seeking an authentic, well-organized, and deeply enriching safari experience in Tanzania and Kenya.

5/5 Stars - Exceptional Service and Unforgettable Experience!
We recently went to Masai Mara Safari along with my family (5 members). We stayed for 5 nights/6 days. The tour was arranged by Twinkle Tours and Safaris, and I must say, it was truly an experience of a lifetime! From the initial planning stages to the execution, James at Twinkle Star took care of everything. He was very professional, prompt in his responses to any questions, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of.
The safari itself was breathtakingly beautiful, with stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife, and unforgettable moments that will stay with us forever. Our guide and driver Daniel was knowledgeable, friendly, and skilled, making sure we got the most out of our time in Masai Mara.
We had a wonderful stay at the La Maison Royale Mara Camp. The rooms and washrooms were clean, and their service was awesome. The hotel staff was always ready to go over and beyond and made sure that our requests were taken care of. The view from our Balcony was breathtaking. We could see the wildlife from there.
I will highly recommend Twinkle tours to anyone looking to plan Masai Mara safari adventure. Their expertise, attention to detail, and passion for creating unforgettable experiences make them truly exceptional.

Twinkle Star Tours and Safaris amazing tour of Kenya and Tanzania
We just returned from a seven-week trip to southern and eastern Africa that was capped off by a twelve-day private combo circuit of Kenya and Tanzania. James and Twinkle Star Tours and Safaris offered a tour that was what we wanted and were willing to modify two of the days for additional sites and activities. James was most accommodating in helping us plan the trip. We traveled to the Rift lakes in Kenya and Masai Mara, then crossed the border to the Serengeti, Olduvai Gorge, and Ngorongoro before returning to Amboseli and Nairobi. James provided us with two excellent guides who were both knowledgeable and experienced (Joseph in Kenya and Roger in Tanzania) and appropriate vehicles that easily travelled the countryside. Roger and Joseph’s ability to spot birds and animals and to identify them added greatly to the experience. Roger’s sense of humor was especially delightful.
We waited all too long before traveling to Africa and hope to return. We highly recommend James and Twinkle Star to others wanting to experience that amazing land.

An unforgettable Safari trip in Africa!
I was very happy to choose Twinkle star after comparing many tourist companys and James arranged a fantastic 10-days safari trip for us. And booked the hotel according to our requirements. I would like to commend our driver Robbert, who is a very good driver and professional guide. On the premise of ensuring our safety, he does not disturb the animals and respects and loves every animal. I think this is an advantage that many travel agency guides do not have at present. I'd like to give Robbert a five star praise！
Standing on the vast plains, watching elephants, giraffes, and zebras grazing peacefully, I felt the primal beauty of nature. As the sunset, overlooking the lions hunting on the plains from the cliff edge, I developed a deeper respect for the cycle of life and the power of nature. This trip was not just about observing wildlife and scenic beauty,it was a spiritual adventure and a growth journey. It taught me to cherish every moment filled with surprises and joy.
I feel that time has passed very fast, looking forward to the next trip to Africa!
