Great safari experience with James!
I recently visited Kenya and was hosted by MorningStar. Our guide, James, was simply fantastic. We first went to Masai Mara, then Lake Naivasha, and finally Amboseli. James was very dedicated in helping us find animals in the national parks. He has a lot of knowledge about the animals and shared many interesting facts with us. His enthusiasm made our trip very enjoyable and informative. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, and many other animals up close. James always made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the journey. The entire trip was well-organized, and everything went smoothly. We really appreciate James and MorningStar for an unforgettable safari experience. Highly recommend their service to anyone planning a trip to Kenya!

The service and the price of the travel agency are all great!
First of all, Morningstar has an advantage in booking hotels. They can order hotels that other travel agencies can't order, such as Naivasha sopa.Thanks Dennis！
Secondly, the guides Alex and Glen are very responsible and smart. They will take care of our feelings and look for animals seriously and try their best to meet our requirements. Thank you!

Very responsive and easy to work with
Following onto my one sentence description, Morning Star Tours (MST) accommodated me in several ways. First, they were very flexible and tailored my safaris in the order that I wanted to see the various national parks. In addition, in the 3 or 4 months before my travels I had made several changes of venues, but especially on my travel dates as they kept changing, but MST was understanding and worked to fill my needs. In regard to the safari itself, our driver Mwololo knew the landscape well and were the best spots for viewing animals were. His knowledge of the animals, the towns we passed and its people, and the vegetation was supreme. So overall we were satisfied. The only thing MST could improve on was the vehicle we used. Mechanically there was nothing wrong and we trusted that it could get us anywhere, but some simple TLC on the interior, and especially on the side door which we had trouble opening so our driver had to mostly get out to open it for us. I'm sure sand gets into the areas of the latch making it harder as we went along, but we had a little trouble from the beginning. Regardless, it was a minor inconvenience, and does not take away from me recommending MST to someone else in the future. Thanks for a trip of a lifetime

Morningstar Safaris were first class. So very pleased we chose them for our incredible trip to Kenya
We can’t speak highly enough of Morningstar Safaris. Dennis was so very friendly and helpful when we were going through the fact finding and booking stage. He was so very quick and thorough with his communication….we actually don’t think he sleeps! Our itinerary for our 12 day safari / beach combo was really detailed and was tailored perfectly for us as a family.
Alex was our guide for the safari part of our trip, travelling to 6 different national parks all over Kenya. He was amazing and such a big part of what made our trip so memorable. Such a friendly and happy person, making us all feel so comfortable… even our teenage kids! His knowledge and enthusiasm was so infectious , we loved soaking it all in. He definitely had the magic touch and made our time so special.
Asanti sana to Alex, Dennis and all at Morningstar. We will never forget our time with you in Kenya!

Excellent Service Experience
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service provided by JoySharon Kendi, Joshua and Morning Star Tours and Travel during my recent trip to Kenya.
From the initial inquiries to the final goodbye, every interaction was marked by professionalism, efficiency, and genuine hospitality.
I travelled by my husband and 12 year old son. We spent 4 days/ 3 nights at Maasai Mara.
Masai Mara was an amazing experience. We stayed at Mara Maisha Camp Club. The tent had an electric fence and onsite security 24/7. The camp was perfect.
Here are a few highlights of my experience that truly stood out:
1. Personalized Itinerary: The itinerary crafted perfectly matched my preferences and allowed me to experience the best of Masai Mara within my schedule.
2. Knowledgeable Guides: Joshua was our guide. He was not only knowledgeable about the wildlife and local culture but also passionate about sharing his insights, which enriched our understanding and appreciation of Kenya.
3. Attention to Detail: Every aspect of the tour was meticulously planned, from transportation to accommodation and dining arrangements. I never had to worry about logistics, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the experience.
4. Flexibility and Communication: I appreciated how responsive and accommodating Morning Star was to my requests and inquiries. They were flexible when I needed to make adjustments to my schedule and ensured smooth communication throughout.
5. Memorable Experiences: Whether it was witnessing the breathtaking sunrise over the Masai Mara or encountering wildlife up close, every moment was unforgettable and made possible by their expertise and dedication to detail.
I certainly recommend Morning Star services to anyone visiting Kenya in the future.

Very professional and reliable！
Yvonne who contacted me was very nice. She responded to emails in a timely manner and was very polite and patient. The communication made me feel very comfortable. And she would follow up on our travel experience during the trip, and when we encountered unpleasantness at the hotel, Yvonne was very good at comforting and handling it, which is very important! It made our trip experience very good.
In addition, let me talk about our tour guide Mike. He is really professional. He can quickly capture animals with his eyes. Even when we need to use a telescope to look for a long time, he has already captured animals with his eyes. He took me and my friends to see some wonderful moments of the "animal world". Mike is very kind and lovely, very talkative and cheerful. We are very lucky to have Mike as our tour guide! After all, the tour guide accounts for at least half of the experience of a trip.
Moreover, during the trip, there were two rollover accidents, causing casualties. Both of them were caused by the driver driving too fast, which is really very sad news. Mike did a good job in this regard. His driving skills are very stable, never in a hurry, and safety first.
Thank you Yvonne and Mike for making me and my friends to have unforgettable and wonderful memories in Kenya. They are really reliable and trustworthy. Please don’t hesitate to choose them! The above comments are all compliments from the bottom of my heart！

Yvonne is a very responsible person who always solves problems promptly.
The entire trip was perfect, and we were traveling with four people, without sharing a car with anyone else. Our guide, Mike, was very professional and always able to quickly find animals for us. He was like a walking encyclopedia of animals and would tell us a lot about their habits and related stories. We had learned a lot. Additionally, Mike drove fast and steadily, checking the road conditions frequently. Sometimes we didn't make it to the pick-up spot on time, and he never rushed us. He always adjusted the day's itinerary based on our time and needs.
Yvonne was also a very responsible girl who would always be concerned about our feelings and help us negotiate and resolve any issues we had when we asked for her assistance.
We spent eight days in Kenya, and the sunrises, sunsets, animals, and mountains all left us in awe.

Warm and professional service
We had a wonderful sarafi with Morningstar’s team.
Wanja responded very fast to my emails regarding price, hotels and routes and provided explanations very patiently before the trip. She also asked for feedbacks everyday during the entire trip. Very responsible lady!
Our tour guide Charles is indeed professional. He shared knowledge about Kenya culture and animals. Found many animals throughout our trip. His car is always clean. It’s a pleasure to spend this tour with him!
