Well organised and very helpful.
This was a trip we had planned and saved up for a few years. We had been to Kenya before and wanted to come back to Diani on the coast and also do a fuller Safari than previously.
Morningstar put together a great itinerary. They were flexible to our needs and made changes where needed. For example we booked the villa in Diani ourselves.
Communication over WhatsApp was prompt and effective.
Rono, our Safari guide was excellent and worked extremely hard, and is also knowledgeable about the national parks and the local environment.
There were so many highlights and special moments.
Seeing all the big 5. Seeing a cheetah for the first time. Seeing the great migration in the Masai Mara.
There were also a few hidden gems based upon local knowledge such as the walking Safari on Crescent island and the boat trip on Lake Naivasha.
All in all a wonderful and memorable holiday.

The perfect tour operator to visit Kenya is only Morningstar Tour
I don't know where to begin to explain how great the safari was with Morningstar Tour. Given that we are a fairly demanding family, who travel a lot and take care of every detail in our travel planning, Morningstar has packed all these features into one unforgettable safari. It went well beyond our expectations: David the driver, thanks to his long experience, took us inside the Masai Mara and Amboseli parks in the less crowded corners. We managed to see crocodiles and hippos swimming in the river, hyenas eating in packs, elephants washing, and then pink flamingos, cheetahs, lionesses...
The booked accomodations welcomed us as friends, we never had problems to eat even if we arrived late, the rooms of the hotels elegant and functional, there was never a single thing out of place. Even the boat trip to the Kisite Marine Reserve was a surprise: a fantastic day spent spotting dolphins and swimming with thousands of colorful fish.
It will be hard for us to forget this holiday and if we ever return to Kenya, morning star will still be our choice 💚

Unforgettable Safari with Exceptional Care
We had an amazing experience with Morningstar during our trip through Kenya and Tanzania. Everything was very well organized, and we felt supported and taken care of throughout the journey.
A very special thank you to our two guides, Stephen in Kenya and Jackson in Tanzania. They were both fantastic—professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly kind. They always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every part of the safari.
I especially appreciated the extra care and consideration they showed me throughout the trip because I am pregnant. They were very attentive to my comfort, adjusted when needed, and made me feel safe and well looked after at all times. That made such a difference and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy this unforgettable experience.
We are extremely grateful to Morningstar, Stephen, and Jackson for making our trip to Kenya and Tanzania so special. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Africa!

Our Maasai Mara safari was truly unforgettable
From planning to the end of the trip, Dennis and the Morning Star Tours & Travel team were professional, patient, and flexible. We had to adjust our itinerary several times due to changing circumstances (including group changes and visa uncertainty), and they always helped us reorganize everything without pressure. They also respected our preferences and were happy to let us arrange our own domestic flights and one night of accommodation, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
Our guide, Rono, was outstanding—experienced, knowledgeable, and very patient. We were lucky to see the Big Five (and even the Ugly Five), and we witnessed incredible moments like cheetahs and hyenas feeding on a zebra. Rono consistently found great, safe viewing spots and shared insights about wildlife behavior and the Maasai Mara that made the experience much more meaningful.
We also appreciated Augustine, who picked us up and took us to the airport on the first day. Even though we arrived before airline staff, he stayed with us until they arrived and shared helpful safari knowledge. That small gesture showed genuine care.
Thank you to Dennis, Rono, Augustine, and the entire team for an amazing experience. If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, we highly recommend Morning Star Tours & Travel.

A knowledgeable and easygoing guide who made every wildlife encounter even more enjoyable
We had such a great time with Rono! He was really good at spotting animals, even when we couldn’t see them at first, and always made sure we got a good view. He also shared lots of interesting facts about the animals and their behavior, which made watching them even more interesting. He was a safe and smooth driver, and very friendly and easy to spend time with. We really enjoyed having him as our guide and would definitely recommend him!

Very thoughtful, considerate, experienced, and accommodating!
I like our tour guide Rono because he’s very professional about all the animal knowledge. He managed to let us see ALL the animals and we were really happy! What he went above and beyond is that he cleaned the car everyday even though he could have just clean it after the whole tour is finished. I really appreciate that because that made the whole experience much more enjoyable!

Breathtaking.
Our safari through Kenya and Tanzania was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end. We were incredibly lucky to see so much wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, monkeys, and countless beautiful birds. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat, surrounded by the incredible landscapes of Kenya and Tanzania, is something we will never forget.
A huge part of what made the experience so special was our guides, Willy, Jackson, and Dominic. All three were extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and patient. They knew the parks incredibly well and had an amazing ability to spot animals that we would have completely missed ourselves. They always took the time to explain what we were seeing, tell us about the animals and their behavior, and make sure we had the best possible experience.
Every game drive felt like a new adventure, and we never knew what we were going to see next. From watching lions in the wild to being surrounded by elephants and huge herds of wildebeest and zebras, there were countless unforgettable moments.
Willy, Jackson, and Dominic genuinely went above and beyond for us throughout the entire trip. Their passion for wildlife and their job was obvious, and after spending so much time with them, they became a very memorable part of our journey.
If you are considering a safari in Kenya and Tanzania, I highly recommend Morningstar. The wildlife, scenery, organization, and especially the people made this one of the best travel experiences we have ever had.
A massive thank you to Willy, Jackson, and Dominic for making the trip so incredible!
See you next year.
