Willy: a truly wonderful and excellent tour guide.
5/5

A fantastic animal migration tour, and a wonderful driver and guide – Willy. He knew the park‘s routes well, was knowledgeable about birds and mammals (which are also my interests), and had up-to-date animal information. Having seen the Big 5 early on, we had more time to observe even more wildlife hunting behaviors.

Even more amazing was witnessing wildebeest crossing the Mara River twice, at 8:30 AM and 1:30 PM on August 19th – simply incredible!

In addition, we are very grateful to Winnie for her prompt response and enthusiastic assistance, which allowed us to resolve the issues immediately when things didn‘t go smoothly during our trip.

Thank you again, Willy: a truly wonderful and excellent tour guide.

Hapiness
5/5

Super responsive, clear with their communication, and attentive to every single detail. The whole organization was top-notch!
A special shoutout to our guide, Agustin—what a legend! He is so warm, cheerful, and friendly. We learned so much from him, enjoyed great conversations, and he knows all the best tips and tricks for the parks.
I’d recommend them in a heartbeat and will definitely be passing their name along!

Amazing
5/5

Our experience with Morningstar Agency was incredible. From the very beginning, Alice was extremely helpful and tailored the trip to match our expectations perfectly. The accommodations were beautiful, comfortable, and spotless, and all the staff were incredibly welcoming and hospitable.

Our driver, Agustín, was a huge part of what made our time in Africa so special. He was warm, punctual, and taught us so much about the wildlife, Kenyan culture, and the Mara.

I wouldn’t hesitate to travel with this agency again, and I would definitely choose Agustín as our driver again.

An unforgettable journey through Kenya
5/5

We had an unforgettable safari experience with Morning Star Tours & Travel!

Our journey took us from Amboseli to Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara, and every place gave us a completely different experience. We saw beautiful herds of elephants in Amboseli, enjoyed a walking safari around Lake Naivasha, and had incredible game drives in the Masai Mara, where we saw lions and huge herds of wildebeest. One of the biggest highlights was our hot-air balloon safari over the Masai Mara at sunrise — an experience we will never forget.

Our driver and guide, Joshua, made the whole journey even more special. He was warm, professional, patient, and always did his best to help us see and experience as much as possible. He was also very flexible whenever we had questions or wanted to adjust something along the way, which made us feel comfortable throughout the trip.

Beryl was also very responsive and helpful from the planning stage until the end of our safari. Communication was always smooth, and everything from the itinerary and accommodations to our additional activities was well organized.

We came home with so many amazing memories of Kenya. A huge thank you to Joshua, Beryl, and the entire Morning Star team. We would happily travel with you again!

Excellent
5/5

There was fantastic, timely communication from the office and they met our needs very well even though we only booked 2 weeks before going.
Our driver, Timothy, was a safe driver, knowledgeable and friendly. He got us into the best place possible for photos! The safari was an amazing opportunity and we saw so much wildlife. I thoroughly recommend Morning Star Safaris. We had a fantastic experience.

Exceptional service, fun trip
5/5

Had a great 6-day safari with Morningstar covering both the Masai Mara in Kenya and Serengeti in Tanzania. The itinerary was very well planned and felt like just the right amount of time to properly experience both parks without unnecessarily stretching out the trip.

A special shoutout to our guides, Joseph in Kenya and Jackson in Tanzania. Joseph was knowledgeable, funny and shared plenty of interesting facts about Kenya throughout the trip — we learnt a lot from him. Jackson was equally knowledgeable about the wildlife, culture and history of Tanzania, and put in some seriously long days driving us around — including one day of more than 12 hours!

Also a big thanks to Joysharon, our coordinator, who was always responsive and quick to answer our questions. We had a last-minute change to our flight timing and she was able to adjust the itinerary smoothly for us.

Logistics throughout the trip were well handled, and we had a great experience with the hotel staff and accommodations along the way.

Overall, a really enjoyable and well-organised safari. Thanks to Joysharon, Joseph and Jackson for making our Kenya and Tanzania trip such a memorable one!

Memorable curated experiences that we completely enjoyed.
5/5

We travelled from Nairobi all the way to Kilimanjaro on a 8D7N safari tour.

From the initial stages of contacting Morningstar, Joysharon was seamless in helping us plan the entire itinerary. She was responsive, helpful, and accommodative to our requests and change of plans when our flights were rescheduled. During the tour, she was also very contactable and stayed in touch with us and our tour drivers to ensure we were well taken care of throughout.

Both our tour guides were amazing. Joseph went above and beyond to give us the best experience, which allowed us to catch sight of all the safari animals within our first 2 safari days. I could say we were fortunate, but it was definitely with his knowledge and experience, that he was able to help us capture the best safari animal moments. He also was able to explain animal behaviours, and answered all of our questions.

We were also very well taken care of by Jackson. He had to take us on many long drives, and was always very patient despite how tiring the day was. Always attentive and helpful throughout our entire trip - he also brought us to see many safari animals in the Serengeti, where we got to witness a hunt too! He always checked in on us during meal times and would ask what we would like to see, and he always delivered on the drives too.

Very appreciative of the entire Morningstar team - the trip went so smoothly and we were so well taken care of. The only suggestion I would give is that it would be great if all the jeeps had air conditioning as there were some drives where it would get sandy and when we have to close all the windows it gets slightly stuffy. Other than that I’ve gotten so many questions on my tour from friends because the experience has been so great and I would definitely recommend Morningstar to other groups looking to for an authentic, fun, comfortable and memorable safari tour!

Big thank you and shout out to Joysharon, Joseph & Jackson for giving us an African tour of a lifetime :)
