We booked a 9-day, 8-night trip with James as our driver. For the first 7 days, we were very happy and grateful to James for his patient explanations about the animals and his enthusiastic efforts in finding them. We also want to thank Dennis for helping us with flight delays. However, there were some issues that made us unhappy, and these seemed to worsen in the last two days:
James' personal state: James seemed to be a bit late every day initially, which we didn't mind at first, but by the eighth day, he seemed quite distracted. While waiting for the elephants to pass, he was even watching TV shows. Additionally, we felt we could have had a priority spot to view the elephants, but it was taken by others.
Tip issue: We initially communicated with James that we would give him the tips on the last day. However, the day before, we felt he was urging us to give them. After giving the tips, he was very late the next day, claiming he was waiting for us in different places, which was quite frustrating.
Duration of Game Drives: According to our communication with James, each day's Game Drive was only five hours, including the time from the hotel and back. However, we met other people who said their Game Drives lasted more than five hours.
Lunch issue on the ninth day in Nairobi: Dennis informed us that James was aware, but James claimed he had no knowledge that our booking included lunch in Nairobi. He even blamed us for not informing him in advance, which led to the possibility of having to eat packed lunches in the car on our way to the airport. The lunch fee was non-refundable. Eventually, after much effort on our part, we managed to have lunch in Nairobi, and for the first time, we saw how fast James could actually drive!

Incredible Experience with Morning Star Tours & Travel
We had a incredible experience with Morning Star Tours & Travel. Their friendly demeanor and approachability made the trip enjoyable.
Our Tour consultant Alice was extremely helpful, she provided all the necessary information we need, friendly and efficient. The entire tour was well-planned and executed.
Our tour guide, Jackson was incredibly knowledgeable about the wild animals. He helps us found all the animals we expected to see. We felt comfortable asking Jackson anything during our tour, he patiently answered all our questions. And he taught us a lot Swahili that also added depth to our experience. His enthusiasm for sharing information was contagious. We left the tour feeling enriched.
Thanks to everyone who made this unforgettable experience possible!

Great experience and great tour company!
We had a great time with Morningstar in Kenya and Tanzania!
Dennis was great to work with, was able to make all of our plans for us, and was able to make every request happen. We were even able to request different accommodations.
James and Jackson were also both great tour guides. More than once, we were able to have a meal with them and learn more about the countries and way of life.
The only reason we are giving a 4-star review is because, for a few days, one of the cars we were traveling in had a consistently dead battery which I feel took away time from seeing the animals. It was finally replaced after a few days and all was good. Overall, this probably took away minimal time but still significant enough of an inconvenience to mention.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER
Our best safari ever.
We had a wonderful 3 days safari with Morningstar Safaris! Everything went well as expected . James was a great guide and a careful guide, he was quick to spot animals and explained in details about any animal behaviour, very informative guide. He kept our vehicle clean as well.
We enjoyed nights in the zebra plains Hotel ! Food was amazing and the staff were very respectful !
We recommend anyone looking for a safari to book with Morningstar Safaris!
We really appreciated!

Excellent Tour Through Kenya and Tanzania
Morningstar organized very interesting safaris. Thanks our guid Perter in Kenya and Mustafa in Tanzania, we met all the marvelous wild animals we wanted to see such as lions, leopard, cheetah, rhino etc in our safaris through Masai Mara, Serengetti, Ngorongoro and Amboseli. Our guides are familiar with all the animals' behaviors, and are so sharp to find animals so far away.
Although it's wet season now but the driving skills of our guides gave us great African massages : )
Thank you morningstar for a greate experience in our lifetime

Morningstar organized very interesting safaris. Alex is the best tour guide. We successfully saw the Africa’s big five and other animals. I also had a very memorable birthday celebration. I hope to have the opportunity to come here with my family again.

Best experience of my life
100% recommended!
Wanja, the tour consultant, was very kind with us. She meets our needs totally and she arranged everything for us. Our driver was Willy. He is very prepared and he tryied his best to make us see all the big fives during game drives. He explained us a lot of things and he waited for us everytime we needed it.
I think we've done the best choice in choosing morningstar, for the reliability, organization and also for competitive prices. Thank you for this amazing experience.
