Reviews
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.

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.

A fantastic experience, would wholeheartedly recommend!
An excellent company with a very professional approach. We booked a 1 day Hell's Gate National Park trip with time at the geothermal spa and a boat ride at Lake Naivasha. I was in touch with Caro throughout the booking process and she was fantastic. The safari itself was very well-organised and we all had a great time. Our guide John was polite, friendly, and very accommodating. One of our group members forgot a valuable personal item at the geothermal spa and Caro went out of her way to hand deliver the item to us. I would highly recommend Morningstar to anyone looking to book a safari.

Amazing, amazing and amazing
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an unforgettable safari experience with Morningstar Safari, guided by the exceptional Willy. From start to finish, this adventure exceeded all expectations, leaving me with memories to cherish for a lifetime.
Willy's expertise and passion for wildlife were evident from the moment we set off. His keen eye for spotting animals, coupled with his extensive knowledge of their behaviors and habitats, transformed the safari into an educational and thrilling journey. Whether it was tracking a pride of lions or finding a family of cheetahs Willy's insights added incredible depth to each encounter. Willy was also great at communicating and guiding us throughout the whole safari with his kind and relaxed being.
The organization and logistics of the safari were flawless. Morningstar Safari ensured that every detail was meticulously planned, from the comfortable accommodations to the well-timed game drives. The vehicles were well-maintained and provided excellent visibility, making it easy to capture stunning photographs of the diverse wildlife.
The landscapes we traversed were nothing short of breathtaking. From the golden savannahs to the lush riverbanks, every moment was a feast for the eyes. Willy's deep respect for nature and commitment to conservation were inspiring, and it was clear that Morningstar Safari shares these values.
In summary, my safari with Morningstar Safari and the incredible guide Willy was an extraordinary adventure. The combination of Willy's expertise, the well-organized itinerary, and the stunning natural beauty made this a truly remarkable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Morningstar Safari to anyone seeking an authentic and enriching safari experience.

Transforming travel dreams into seamless, unforgettable adventures !!
Our Kenya safari was an unforgettable adventure, thanks to the outstanding organization and professionalism of our tour operator, Dennis, and our guide and driver, Rono. From the initial planning stages to the final day, everything ran smoothly and efficiently.
Dennis was incredibly responsive, offering a wealth of ideas to tailor the itinerary to our specific requests and needs. His expertise ensured that every aspect of the tour was meticulously planned and executed, leaving no detail overlooked. He was even responsive on a Sunday when we needed him for a mobile phone we forgot in the car!
Rono, our guide and driver, was exceptionally reliable and always wore a cheerful smile. His punctuality and dedication to making our safari experience unique were evident from the start. Rono's sharp eye for wildlife ensured that we witnessed countless breathtaking moments, including sightings of the Big 5. Saying goodbye to our tour guide Rono was tough, as his knowledge and friendly presence greatly enriched our safari experience.
Thanks to Dennis and Rono, our Kenya safari was not just a trip but a lifetime experience that we will cherish forever. Their professionalism and passion for their work truly made our journey extraordinary.
