Trustable and organized
5/5

Our trip was 12 days: divided into 8 days Safari and 4 days at the beach. Dennis, was our travel consultant, he organized every single detail for us and he was very available to adjust the plans according to our wishes.
The lovely Simon picked us up from the airport and he immediately let us feel welcomed.
Augustine was our driver and guide for the majority of the trip. He is a very skilled and experienced driver, a prepared guide and an amazing person. He shared with us all his knowledge about animals, nature, culture and traditions during our game drives and the long transfer rides and we couldn't have wished for a better guide. He has an amazing eye and energy and we got to see all the big five multiple times.
The accommodations chosen during the safari were in perfect location: inside the parks or near the gate. Hopefully, we will come back in the near future!

A once-in-a-lifetime experience
5/5

I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding service provided by Morningstar company during my recent trip to Kenya. Specifically, I would like to commend Dennis for arranging a truly unforgettable itinerary that surpassed all expectations.

My journey through Kenya, organized by Morningstar Tours, was nothing short of remarkable. From the moment I embarked on the game drives, I was captivated by the breathtaking beauty of Kenya's wildlife. Thanks to Dennis's meticulous planning, I had the privilege of witnessing some of the most awe-inspiring sights, making it an experience that will stay with me for a lifetime.

Moreover, I must commend the excellent accommodations and dining arrangements. The comfort and convenience provided throughout my stay were exemplary, ensuring that I could relax and fully immerse myself in the wonders of Kenya.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to Rono, our driver and guide, whose dedication and professionalism greatly contributed to the success of the trip. Rono's expertise behind the wheel was truly impressive, especially when navigating through busy highways with heavy truck traffic. His commitment to safety was evident at every turn, instilling a strong sense of security in all of us throughout the journey.

In conclusion, I want to commend Morningstar Tours Kenya for delivering a truly exceptional travel experience. Their attention to detail, commitment to customer satisfaction, and passion for showcasing the beauty of Kenya have left an indelible mark on me. I wholeheartedly recommend Morningstar Tours to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in Kenya, especially my Chinese friends.

Amazing Trip
5/5

We had the pleasure of working with Wanja to plan our first trip to Kenya. We received several quotes but Morningstar stood out based on their attention to detail and excellent communication. As far as pricing is concerned, it was comparable to others. We went on safaris Nairobi, Amboseli, and Tsavo national parks. We stayed at luxury lodges and had the best experience. Our tour guide Francis was exceptional and made us feel very comfortable and safe. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the terrain. For each location of our safari we had no worries and all we had to do was show up. We saw almost all of the animals we wanted to except for a leopard. We finished out our trip with a few nights at Diani Beach. There was a little snag upon arrival in Mombasa but the issue was resolved and we were on our way. We used multiple forms of transportation and went on some amazing excursions...train, plane, jeep, hot air balloon, and Dhow boat. It was an adventure that my entire family enjoyed and was suitable for the varying age groups ranging from 40-70+. Definitely give them a shot and choose the higher end lodges. I can't say enough about Kilaguni Serena in Tsavo. The view was breathtaking. Also, the hot air balloon safari with Killamanjaro in the background was another unique and Soul satisfying moment. Our stay at Diani Beach was wonderful and the food was perfectly balanced, fresh, and delicious. Kudos to Swahili Beach resort (old but well maintaine) a very beautiful property with beautiful grounds. Definitely get a spa treatment.

Amazing 8 Day Safari - perfectly organized
5/5

We chose Kenya for our first safari because of the incredible diversity of wildlife. As complete novices, we thoroughly researched various agencies on safaribookings.com, reading numerous reviews. Morningstar stood out for its positive feedback, and now we know why. We had an unforgettable 8-day safari across Kenya, and we’re happy to add another 5-star review for our tour provider.

From the very start, Dennis made us feel like we were in great hands. He was always quick to respond, providing detailed and professional advice. He even sent us a comprehensive PDF with suggestions for our tour, including prices for each activity – an impressive level of transparency that we didn’t see from other agencies. Everything was extremely well-organized, from the accommodations to the overall logistics.

Our next stroke of luck was our tour guide, Rono. He was the perfect guide for us – incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and an excellent, safe driver in the Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4. During the game drives, he consistently found incredible wildlife and positioned us perfectly for photos. Thanks to him, we had an extraordinary experience, spotting all of the Big Five within just three days! Every day brought new highlights, making it hard to choose a single “best” moment.

We wholeheartedly recommend Morningstar for an unforgettable safari experience.

Full score travel agency
5/5

Morning Star gave me a very good experience, which made my family and I successfully complete this trip to Kenya,and Morningstar has a WeChat account, which brought great convenience to China tourists. As a China person, I highly recommend this travel agency.
Dennis is in charge of contacting me. He is very warm and considerate, and we all like him very much.He patiently helped us work out the itinerary and gave us a reasonable quotation
Originally, I appointed Alex as our guide. He is modest, polite and experienced.Due to some small circumstances, Willie finally became our guide.Willie's personality is very interesting, and he takes us everywhere to find animals.Although we didn't communicate much because of my poor English, we got along very happily for eight days. Although we returned to China, we still missed everything in Kenya, as well as Willie and Dennis.Willie is highly recommended. He is a great guide, and he is very safe and happy to get along with.

Both of our guides were extremely kind and very knowledgeable
5/5

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.

5/5

We are very happy to have planned our private safari tour with morning stars. Right from the first contact, advice was provided quickly and adapted to our wishes. A detailed schedule and a detailed overview of the costs was provided before the start of the trip. We were picked up at our hotel as promised. Our tour guide Alex led us through the animal world with a great enthusiasm. In his company, we always felt safe and had a very entertaining Safari. Thank you for everything!

The perfect safari experience with Morningstar!
5/5

The safari with Morningstar is really the best experience. The whole trip was perfect. The communication with Dennis was from the start very good and clear. When we had a question about something he helped us immediately. We received a quote with the details about the whole trip so it is very clear what you are going to do. During the safari we had the best driver, Augustine. He showed us all the amazing wild animals Kenya has to offer. He also told us nice stories about Kenya which we loved. We are definitely gonna miss him. All the national parks and the accommodations were even better then we could have imagined. We can only recommend going on Safari with Morningstar if you want the perfect experience!
