So amazingly extremely astonishingly wonderful and responsible！！！
Staffs in MorningStar are so reliable, responsible and niceeeeeee! We four people had an extremely wonderful time in Kenya. We love all Kenyan people who were so nice to us. The most gratitudes to our driver guide Dominic. He is so kind and professional. He made us see lions at a very short range everyday!!! And he prevented our tour from being influenced by the protests happening in Nairobi. Thank everyone so much!

A very responsible heartful and experienced tour guide we have had!
It is totally worthy by letting Morningstar host us in Kenya. From the beginning, Dennise is super patient to answer all the questions and concerns. During the safari, we had a wonderful time with our tour guide Eric. He has 15 years experience. He can quickly knows our concerns abd driving habits, makes us not bored during the long driving transportation. He is punctual, experienced, thoughtful and kind. Will definitely come back in the future or refer him to my friends.

Eric is the best tour guide!
I would say having a humourous and experienced tour guide is the key to enjoying a safari in Kenya. Eric is a very easygoing guide, he used his 15 years of experience to drive us around to find the animals. We found the big 5 in Masai Mara and the scene was breathtaking. Will definitely recommend this agent to my friends who will be coming to Kenya later.
Professional and fantastic choice for safari
The communications between us and the agency went on very well. Alice has always replied to our messages rapidly and provided us a well organized quote for our trip in just around hours. Our experience in both Kenya and Tanzania was fabulous. We saw all the big fives from perfect angles. The final price for the tour was reasonable as well. Definitely a top choice for African safari!
Morning Star is an excellent tour operator that provides a bespoke service
Morning Star did a great job at organising a 10 day tour which included Kenya and Tanzania, multiple accommodations and several parks. We started off in Kenya, headed to Tanzania, and then back to Kenya for the final park. We had three excellent guides. Two in Kenya (Tim and Alex) and one in Tanzania (Isaya). They made sure we were well looked after. They kept us entertained throughout the trip, made sure we got the best experiences and photos, and tailored the trip to our needs. On top of the safaris, we were also interested in the cultures and how the every day persons lives in Kenya/Tanzania. Our guides adjusted the itinerary to accommodate our interests and we really got the most out of our trip. We stayed at some amazing accommodations including some spectacular bush camps. Our favorite spots were Kon Tiki Africa in Serengeti, Soroi Mara Migration Camp - Private Wing in Masai Mara, and Kibo Safari Camp in Amboseli. I highly recommend Morning Star and we will be using them again shortly!

This tour is the experience of a lifetime!
Honestly cannot say enough good things about Morning Star Tours and our guide John. John gave us the experience of a lifetime. He answered all of questions and gave us a lot of information about the animals. Whatever we asked for, John went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and our needs met. We wanted to see lions, John showed us a pack of lions hunting. We wanted to see giraffes, John took us to see a baby giraffe. Whenever there was a massive group of jeeps, John always got us a spot right in front. John made us feel like family and we truly feel like we would not have had such an amazing time if we had another guide. Our days were filled of wonderful memories of us laughing wherever we went. We appreciated John’s eagerness to please and his great sense of humor.
Dennis was also incredible. He was always so quick to respond to our many questions and made us feel completely at ease. We had no idea what to expect but we were blown away by all the amazing activities and accommodations that Dennis booked for us. Easily some of the nicest accommodations we have ever stayed at in our lives and the service was top notch. I can’t wait to return home and tell all of our friends to book with this amazing company. John and Dennis, thank you for giving us the trip of a lifetime.

Morning Star Tours & Travel provided us with a trip of a lifetime!
I would recommend Morning Star Tours & Travel to anyone looking to book a Safari. We did the 11 day Leisurely game safari and Beach holiday combo and had an amazing trip. Dennis who organized the trip and sent us our itinerary, messaged us throughout our trip making sure everything was ok, and was fast to answer any questions we had before and during our trip. Our guide John was phenomenal and was very knowledgeable, he also did his best to get us in the best spots for viewing the wildlife and now we have some amazing photos to cherish the memories. We also felt it was so easy to ask him any questions and he would cater to all our needs. We had a great time with him and were sorry to see him go when it was time to separate, he made our trip that much better. The accommodation we stayed in all felt high end and we loved every place we stayed at. This trip will stay with us forever, thank you morning star!

So glad we went on this local tour with an amazing guide/driver -John
We took a chance on this local tour that was 1/3 the price of most tours .We were last minute ( 2 months to find a tour when most book year in advance but nothing available for us and was quoted 7-9k a tour and put on a wait list ) 11 days for 2,700$. Every thing included. Boat, small plane, train Private driver. And let me tell you about our amazing driver!! John made the experience more memorable by being so accommodating and there for us in every way. He would do everything we wanted and didn’t want. John is an excellent driver, always the best viewing site for watching the animals. Especially when competing with 20 other vehicles to get close. He made us feel safe and comfortable. He knew we had trouble with all the early mornings but because of the heat, we had to go early ( we were mostly late) but he would smile and say” it’s ok. No problem “
Since it was such a low-cost tour, I was afraid of the accommodations. But comparing the accommodations to other people that took American tours, the rooms were incredible. We had air conditioning in some, TV, refrigerator . staff were very accommodating. Everywhere we went we hated to say goodbye. But the hardest goodbye was to our tour guide John, who became more like a friend. If you go on this tour, ask for John, you won’t be disappointed. We loved this tour. Feel free to contact me , as l will tell you the truth.

Amazing experience with Rono and Carolyn!
I couldn’t expect more from my first ever Safari experience with Morning Star! Rono was an amazing guide, committed to share his knowledge of african wildlife and his country in general! Long drives seemed so short thanks to our good conversations!
Carolyn was such a kind organizer, taking news every single day to ensure my satisfaction!
Many thanks to you and I will highly recommend your agency :)

Morningstar Tour exceeds expectation
We are a party of 17 made up of 5 families. Denis worked with us from the first email to craft the exact experience we were looking for. He put together a 12 day schedule that hit all of our requested highlights. He and Emmie were Incredibly patient working with us over the next 6 months or so to work out details, answer all of our questions.
We are half way through the tour just completing the Kenya portion and our 3 guides have been amazing. Alex, James and Glen were pleasant, answered questions, kept us on schedule. They had experience at all of the parks and were able to give us the best possible experience. They were pleasant and fun to be around. I highly recommend the entire team.
