Great guide! Warm, friendly, professional. His sharp eyes found lions, elephants, giraffes and more.
5/5

We had an amazing safari with our guide and couldn't have asked for anyone better. Warm, friendly and genuinely passionate, Jackson made us feel welcome from the very first moment. His knowledge of the wildlife and the land was outstanding — thanks to his sharp eyes and tracking skills, we spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, leopards and countless birds we would have missed on our own. He was always patient, answered every question, and kept us safe and comfortable throughout. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable Tanzania Safari with Morning Star - Highly Recommended!
5/5

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Morning Star Tours & Travel. The itinerary was very well-designed, and the price was quite reasonable, offering excellent value for money.

We were incredibly lucky to witness a huge variety of wildlife. Some of the absolute highlights included the rare sight of a wildebeest river crossing, a buffalo giving birth, a cheetah feeding, and even five rhinos! These are truly once-in-a-lifetime sightings.

A special thank you goes to our amazing guide, Jackson. He is extremely professional, highly knowledgeable, and very friendly. His expertise and passion made all the difference. Thanks to his excellent guidance, everyone in our vehicle had an unforgettable and truly wonderful Tanzania safari experience.

We really hope to have the chance to return to Tanzania in the future!

An Unforgettable, Five-Star Safari Experience!
5/5

We recently returned from an absolutely amazing 4-day, 3-night safari to Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with Morningstar Safaris, and we cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was flawless.
A huge shoutout goes to Doreen, who handled our booking. She put together a perfectly tailored itinerary for us and kept in constant contact throughout the entire process. Even during the trip, she checked in regularly to make sure everything was going well. Doreen also went above and beyond by coordinating with our hotel to arrange a special celebration for my wife’s birthday, which made the trip feel even more personal and memorable.
Our guide, Willy, was exceptional. He was incredibly friendly, deeply knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about his role. He worked tirelessly to track down the best wildlife sightings. Thanks to his dedication and skill, we got to see the Big Five and so much more!
This was a truly unforgettable trip. If you are considering a safari in Kenya, look no further than Morningstar Safaris—they are top-notch!

Unforgettable Experience with Morningstar and Julius
5/5

Our group of four had an incredible 8-day safari adventure through Kenya, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and from start to finish, everything was planned and organized so well.

The entire trip was smooth, comfortable, and completely stress-free. Morningstar did a fantastic job of taking care of all the details and making sure our wishes were included in the itinerary. Everything was well thought out, and we always felt that we were in good hands.

A huge part of what made this trip so special was our safari guide, Julius. He was incredibly friendly, caring, reliable, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable. He clearly loves what he does and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and the best places to spot animals made such a difference. Thanks to him, we were incredibly lucky to see all the animals we had hoped for, and many of them multiple times! The whole experience was unforgettable, and we came home with amazing memories and countless photos.

Morningstar was truly fantastic value for money, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized, memorable, and authentic Kenyan safari. The combination of excellent planning, great service, and an outstanding guide made this an experience we will never forget.

A massive thank you to the entire Morningstar team, and especially to Julius, for making our Kenyan safari such a wonderful adventure. We would happily choose Morningstar again!

Incredible 4 day safari with Rono from morning star!
5/5

The whole experience was incredible from start to finish. We visited both Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara and managed to see all of the big 5 on our visit. Rono our tour guide was amazing, he was so knowledgeable and able to provide so much information about all of the animals we saw. He made the trip very enjoyable and would 100% recommend him as your tour guide. Some personal highlights from the trip was seeing a leopard eat a hyena and seeing a pride of male lions. All the accommodation we stayed in were in great condition, had good food, very clean and the staff were excellent. If you are looking for a tour operator I would highly recommend morning star, Joysharon organised the whole trip and communication was great throughout, and she also gave us a free upgrade for one of our accommodations which was amazing!

Amazing experience start to finish thanks for Joysharon & Rono
5/5

We had the best trip to Kenya via MorningStar. The booking process was made simple with Joysharon who was very happy to discuss dates and options for parks, Accomodation and activities. When we arrived in Kenya we were picked up promptly by Rono who was friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend our four days with. We first stopped at Lake Nakuru (Sopa Lodge) this was a great first park as it is a smaller which makes animal spotting easier, Rono was great at point out all the sights and was patient while we took photos and enjoyed seeing the animals. He also knew so many facts about the animals which he shared with us. Our next stop was Masai Mara where we were upgraded to the Royal Zebra within the Zebra Plains collection which was the most amazing hotel & staff we could have asked for. A pure luxury experience with only 8 lodges available, the staff went above and beyond and all of the facilities were amazing (outdoor bath & shower, pool, private sun loungers at your room and al a carte dining).
Again, Rono made our experience in Mara unforgettable. He was well connected to other guides so was able to hear about sightings and take us to see all animals. We saw the big 5 over the four days, and many many more animals. We rarely went more than 15 minutes without seeing anything and saw more lions that I could have imagined!
We also did the sunrise balloon safari experience which was fantastic.
The whole time we felt safe and well looked after. I will recommend Kenya, MorningStar and Joysharon & Rono to friends & family and would not hesitate to book again with these.
Thank you for giving us the best four days!

Punctual, perfectly organized, and unforgettable
5/5

As a next step in our trip, we explored Amboseli and Nairobi with Morningstar Tours, and they delivered an incredible experience. From doing game drives in Amboseli & Nairobi National park (we saw Rhinos!) to visiting Elephant Orphanage, the Giraffe Centre & city tour. Every part of the trip was perfectly handled.
​Our guide -Julius- was exceptionally patient, relaxed, and never rushed us. He took the time to make sure we truly enjoyed each moment, adapting to our pace and showing outstanding customer service throughout.
​We had some truly magical moments: elephants passing right in front of us (which made my wife extremely happy as they are her favorite!), and incredible sightings of giraffes and ostriches (my personal favorite!). If you are looking for a smooth, stress-free safari with an operator that truly listens and puts your enjoyment first, Morningstar Tours is the way to go!
