On time all the time.
Morningstar was perfect! Our tour guide Alex was amazing. He was always available when he said he would be and brought us to all the best spots for animal viewing. January was a great time to do this because of how little people were in the parks, it felt like we had them to ourselves. Even in the off-season, we saw the big 5 and ugly 5.

Outstanding Safari Experience in Kenya and Tanzania
I have visited Kenya and Tanzania with my wife and 15 years old daughter during the year end holidays, and we had a wonderful experience using Morning Star Tours & Travel services to organize our safari. Starting with Alice, who was our travel consultant and was very engaging and patient since the first contact. She helped me go through multiple iterations to create the perfect itinerary that would meet our expectations within the time and budget we had available – our itinerary started in Nairobi, went through Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, crossing then the border to Tanzania to visit Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Arusha. Alice help us find outstanding lodging options for a very fair price. During the trip she was always very responsive, regularly making the point to contact us through WhatsApp and check if everything was going as expected.
We also had a fantastic experience with all the guides we had during the trip: starting with Justus, who was right at the airport waiting for us after a late night arrival to bring us quickly and safely to our hotel in Nairobi. That was followed by an incredible time with Chacha, who was our guide throughout Kenya starting the next day. Chacha shared his energy and passion for the work he does to help us have a great experience in the wild, as well as a safe journey in-between the parks all the way from Nairobi to Tanzania. We changed vehicles upon crossing the border to Tanzania – Jackson was our new guide at that point and did an outstanding job in helping us notice everything along the way, and I will always be grateful for his determination to help us see all the big 5 in Serengeti. Lastly, for our last day from the vicinities of Ngorongoro crater to our departure in Arusha airport, our guide Prince did way more than just drive us to the airport: given we had a bit more time, he went above and beyond and drove us through the main points in downtown Arusha and shared his knowledge of the city he clearly loves, what allowed us to learn a bit more from that important hub in the region.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the safari organized by Morning Star both in terms of quality, price and punctuality. I will keep fond memories from our trip for a long time to come, certainly recommending their services to all my friend and family. A special thanks to Alice, Justus, Chacha, Jackson and Prince for doing everything they could to make the experience even more memorable!

Seamless organization and wonderful customer care
Had a great 10 day trip in Kenya organized by Alice at Morningstar (Safari in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo + 4 days at the beach in Diani).
The organization pre-trip was seamless (great communication, flexibility, customer support) at a competitive cost vs other operators.
During the trip, Alice was also available throughout to coordinate our trip and help with on-the-go changes we requested.
During the safari, we had a very knowledgeable driver / guide, James, who went above and beyond to make sure we could see as much as possible nature / animals during the game drives.
A very positive experience that I definitely recommend!

All perfect!
Morningstar organized 4 days of safari for us, from the Nairobi National Park to the Masai Mara.
Our guide Mololo was perfect, competent and attentive to our needs. There was a problem booking the train from Nairobi to Mombasa but the agency promptly remedied it. Super recommended!

Extraordinary :)
Our safari with Morning Star Tours was extraordinary! The guide (James) was incredibly knowledgeable, ensuring unforgettable wildlife encounters, including the Big Five. Accommodations were luxurious yet close to nature, and the agency’s commitment to sustainability was commendable. Every detail was perfectly planned, making it a seamless, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Discussing all the details and sharing your expectations in advance is invaluable. It ensures the agency understands your preferences, allowing them to craft a tailored experience that exceeds your expectations.
Thank you Dennis and yJames for all :)
Highly recommended!

Serious travel company available for all needs
I found in Kendi the perfect assistance for my trip. Her availability in providing directions and changing the proposal to meet my needs is a sign of great professionalism. The guide who accompanied us on the tours to Nairobi National Park and the Masaai mara, Mr. Mwololo, proved to be excellent for his experience and availability. What can I say? I sincerely thank the staff who made me spend an unforgettable holiday. Tutounana, mwaka mpia. Asante sana!

Absolutely outstanding!
We wanted to do something different to celebrate a big birthday in November this year and decided on a safari and beach combo in Kenya. After doing some research we let Morningstar tours organize the once in a lifetime holiday - they went above and beyond all expectations! Joy Sharon was fantastic, managing to do all we asked and more, she kept in contact by email prior to leaving for Kenya, changing the trip to as needed and making great recommendations. she then followed up with us regularly throughout the trip and arranged surprise birthday celebrations at 3 different places - thank you! All the accommodation was of a very high standard, the facilities, food and staff were amazing - Salas Camp & Giraffe Manor were outstanding and deserve a special mention, if you can stay there! We travelled via plane, a small 12 seater propeller plane (!)hot air balloon, train, boat and did a great snorkeling trip in the Indian ocean. We saw the big 6 by day 2 and its magical to see animals in their natural environments, the elephants, lion cubs & giraffes were my favorite. Driving in Kenya is an adventure in itself but Willie is obviously used to this and managed to bypass potholes, traffic jams and other vehicles with ease, he did a great job and found all the animals even if they were trying to hide -thanks Willie.
The beach at the resort was beautiful but you get hassled constantly so we stayed by the pool, tipping is expected everywhere.
Huge thanks to Morningstar Tours and to Joy Sharon and Willie for making it all so special, we would definitely travel with you again. Merry Christmas from Mark & Sally in New Zealand.

Very professionell, well organized, fair prices.
We went to Amboseli, Nakuru and Masai Mara and had a wonderful experience in each park. Saw all of the Big Five and many other animals (5 cheetahs!!) . Our guide Augustine was the best guide we could have asked for - kind, funny and eyes like an eagle.
We have to come back someday to see the great migration with him!
Also big thanks to Alice, it was perfectly organized!
