A perfectly organized safari!
We did a thorough research before booking this safari but Morning Star made the difference from the beginning. From day one we felt safe thanks to the great communication we had with Dennis, who was always available to plan with us our dream safari.
The tour was exactly as planned, we had the chance to see everything we wanted and had so much fun. We went to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. All hotels were perfect, we stayed at Ol Tukai Lodge, Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge and Zebra Plains Mara.
Our guide Peter was always on time and he was super flexible and super eager to help us on anything that came up. We really appreciated his effort for us to see as many animals as we could while also providing many information for them. He was
Both Dennis and Peter were willing to go beyond to make sure that we were having the time of our lives.
A massive thank you to the Morning Star team! Highly recommended!

Both of our guides were extremely kind and very knowledgeable
Willie was our first guide. He was amazing driving our jeep on the dirt roads, holes in the ground, and through the water. He was very attentive to both of us. He made every effort for us to get to see as many animals as possible.
Haran was our second guide. He provided so much information on the animals and their habits. We were enthralled by his knowledge. No request was too much to ask of him because he was going to please.
I would recommend both of these guides to anyone thinking about a safari.

They are Efficient and communicative, flexible and meet your needs throughout the safari
From day one of contacting Alice at morningstarsafaris I received professional and amazing communication, the itinerary was beautifully set up, with Alice being so flexible and patient with my multiple changes and decision.
Thank you for organising our Safari, we have had a great time, we went to Amboseli, Tsavo West and East, Diani and Bamburi beach
When we returned to Nairobi we went to the David Sheldrick animal orphanage- this visit was thr best thing ever.
The Safari in Nairobi NP was special- we had not been yet. Now we have done all the major NP Safari in Kenya- with the help of Morningstar
Thank you.
Alex and James our driver guides have been great. On time and communicative, always willing to answer all questions.
Our drivers in Mombasa Dennis and Leonard were good.
ALICE has been the best- so approachable and communicative, I felt comfortable telling her my concerns and she sorted them out. If I were to do another Safari - I would

He was well-organized and made a lot of posibilities to capture animals on photo
From the beginning contact setting up our trip, to drop off at the end of our safari, our guide Alex offered top-notch service. We were able to have a private safari that had everything each of us wanted to see.
AMAZING!
We had Alex as a guide for our safari and what an experience that was. Alex was really amazing, professional and provided us with an experience to last a lifetime. The safari was absolutely beautiful. Alex made sure we were able to capture the best photos but also was very informative with the history of the parks. We had a rare glimpse into seeing over 200 elephants migrating, and a family of lions.
We couldn’t thank Alex enough for the experience and the service provided.

Amazing, communicative & unforgettable
I highly recommend Morningstar Safari Tours. My friends and I were visiting Africa for a destination wedding and left it last minute to organise a safari tour. We used safari bookings to get quotes and we’re delighted when Emmie was able to put together a last minute personalised Safari tour for myself and 3 of my friends, with Alex as our Safari driver. This package went beyond our expectations. Emmie from Morningstar stayed in constant communication and provided a thorough detailed breakdown of what to expect. This made it so easy and reduced the effort and stress on our part. We were picked up and dropped off to our accomodation as requested and the accomodation during the tour was vastly above and beyond what we expected. The stops along the way at the community centres allowed us to purchase the souvenirs we wanted to get for loved ones back at home as well. We were able to see all the animals on our bucket list and so much more. The views were breathtaking and the food was amazing.
A massive, massive thank you to Alex for keeping us safe throughout the tour and his impeccable driving skills that allowed us to get the picturesque shots that we never knew we NEEDED!
Definitely booking you again in future! Thank you Morningstar.

This is the best safari company!
From the initial contact it was clear this company stood out above the rest due to how professional they were and that is one of the reasons we decided to book with them over the many others out there.
All communications were extremely quick, staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
They kept in contact and checked in a couple of days before pick up and provided the drivers contact without being promoted.
Our driver and guide, Alex, turned up on time (actually slightly early) and made sure everything was ready for our safari. We were so impressed by the Land Cruiser as it was brand new and one of the nicest ones on the road. It was so comfortable!
After a few hours drive we were in tsavo west and we enjoyed some lovely game drives. I am in awe of Alex… it was quickly apparent his driving ability was incredible which helped to navigate some of the treacherous roads due to recent flooding and rainfall. This made the drives a lot more comfortable. His ability to spot the animals (whilst off road driving!) and to get us into the best spots was second to none. He also kept in constant contact with other guides to ensure we were not missing anything. He was doing numerous jobs at once on very long hours and never complained.
Our second park was Amboseli and some
of the elephant and lion viewings were amazing. The sunrise game drive viewing elephants in front of Mt Killi is a particular highlight.
We cannot thank Alex enough for helping us to make some amazing memories and being so dedicated to providing the best experience. He never got sick and tired of me asking for stops next to animals (no matter how unimpressive they were to others) or asking for photos.
The two lodges we stayed in were also beautiful. We especially liked the water hole viewing at Kilaguni Serena safari lodge. We watched them for hours in the night and were captivated by the hyenas and Jackals. The bats were also really interesting to watch. In the morning saw antelope and mongoose right outside our room.
My only regret is booking just the two parks with this company and staying in Diani for the rest of the time. Next time it will be the 7 day safari from Nairobi to Tanzania!
I cannot recommend this company enough in regard to cost, service, reliability and overall experience.
Exceptional experience
I booked the four day three night safari and stayed first at the Masai Mara Sopa Losge and then the Zebra Plains camp. Both camps were wonderful. Willie was my guesses and everything was perfect. He picked me up on time at the hotel in Nairobi and began the journey. The roads were rough and Willie was an excellent driver. I mostly saw small animals at the Sopa lodge but it was quite spectacular. The next morning Willie drove to the Zebra Plains camp, again the roads were very rough but Willie got me there safely. Willie was an excellent guide and driver and I saw more animal’s than anticipated. Willie provided valuable insight on the wildlife, parks, and Kenya in general. This was a lifetime experience and I enjoyed it very much. The roads and trails in the park are very rough so be prepared to get bounced around but Willie did the best to make it comfortable as possible. Definitely recommend Morning Star for a safari an a experience of a lifetime.
