Amazing view and Reliable service
5/5

Dennis is we two's tour consultant. From the very beginning, he showed professionalism and reliability in arranging our travel plans, easing our worries about our 1st time African visit adventure. His dedication and responsiveness were truly remarkable. Despite the time zone differences, he always responded promptly, even during late hours, making it feel like his service were available 7x24(surely not..). His genuine concern for our experience was evident as he checked in with us daily and swiftly handled any issues that arose during our journey. His expertise and efficiency left a lasting impression on us thought the trip. We felt confident in his guidance and support, which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the wonders of Kenya without any unnecessary concerns.
Alex took us for the whole amazing Safari. We are truly and sincerely oBliged to him for taking us on those long and adventurous treks to witness the stunning wildlife of Kenya. His passion ,and knowledge of the animals' habit and characteristics added a new dimension to the safari, making the safari even more fascinating and meaningful. During the 1st day's afternoon tour, the cheetah passed by our car super nearly. With Alex's excellent driving and patient guidance, we have saw all big fives even six and the whole lion family (10 lions) and taken many amazing photos! His dedication and expertise as a guide made our journey really unforgettable.

Amazing Team!
5/5

I had a great experience with MorningStar.
I booked 5 days Safari and 3 days Diani Beach stay.
Denis, Tour Consultant has planned every detail of the trip and was very responsive to messages.
I went for option with downgraded hotels so that it was more affordable. The accomodation he booked was still very good and I was happy with it.
James, Safari Guide/Driver always knew where to find animals and was knowledgeable about them. He was taking photos using my phone so that I could concentrate on watching the animals which was very sweet.
I can highly recommend Morning Star !

Amazing experience in the wild
4/5

We spent 3 days and 2 nights respectively in Salt Lick Lodge and in Kibo Camp (in front of Kilimangiaro). We visited 3 parks: amboseli was incredible! We saw lots of animals like lions, elephants, hippo, etc. Our guide Daniel was very nice giving is the possibility to Make lots of nice pictures! Alice as Morning Star’s tour operator was available 24hours for any kind of assistance. We liked Amboseli a lot with Kilimangiaro’s view: thanks to our guide Daniel we visited also a Masai Village in front of Kilimangiaro. Here we entered in touch with local culture and traditions.

Exceeds our expectations. Well organized & responsive
5/5

The communication with Morningstar safari, especially the Tour agent Ms. Alice was very smooth. She’s very professional & responsive to all our questions.
The payment option for the tour was safe, using credit card.
Our driver, Alex was on time in picking us in the airport and driving us to Amboseli including our Game Drives. Can’t say thank you enough…

We stayed in Kibo Safari camp and everything was perfect. The food was delicious, I was quite worried with that before the trip.

Thank you so much guys. We are hoping to be back soon!!!!
Highly recommended!

Jambo!!!

Perfect!
5/5

After contacting this tour operator through Safari Bookings, I was contacted by Joseph who organized a 3-day private safari to the Masai Mara, customizing it according to my requests: everything was perfect, beyond my expectations! We wrote to each other several times via email both before and during and after the safari. Thanks again Joseph for all the assistance you have provided me!
The experience was super exciting and I really recommend it to everyone at least once in their life.
A special thanks to James, our driver / guide during all 3 days: nice, helpful and above all tireless in sighting and searching for animals in the park! Thank you James: you made this experience even more unique!

We had a great time. Our tour guide took us all over the national park. We had a hard time finding the lions. But with his great vision, he spotted then.

Amazing! Very communicative and helpful all through the trip.
5/5

From the moment I reached out to Morningstar Dennis and his team were nothing but professional, helpful and extremely communicative. Dennis crafted an itinerary for the amount of time I’d be in Kenya (about two weeks) and included a number of different national parks to go on safari as well as ending off in Diani Beach for a bit of relaxation. Willy my driver and tour guide was amazing and went above and beyond to ensure I had the best safari ever. Especially for the value and level of service you get I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Morningstar to friends and family!

Attentive to detail and ensuring customer satisfaction as number one priority
5/5

We used Morning Star Tours & Travel for our recent 7 day safari experience. We provided Dennis at a high level what we were looking for and the dates that we were looking at. Dennis arranged everything for us including all the lodges and even spoke to all the lodges and camps of our dietary requirements. Morning Star sent us a detailed itinerary to review which details all the activities each day and the meal plan. Their communication during both arranging the safari, during and after was excellent. Nothing was too much for them.

At the start of the safari, Dennis personally came to meet us at the hotel we were staying to ensure any final questions were answered and that we were comfortable with the driver. Our safari covered both Kenya and Tanzania so we had a driver in Kenya and a different on in Tanzania. Both drivers were chatty and made us feel comfortable with them. Their knowledge of the area and the national parks were immense and they would give us great insight.

We had to cross the Kenya/Tanzania border and we were not too sure of the process but the drivers made sure they stayed with us throughout the process and only left once they handed us to the next driver.

Safari holidays are not cheap for the service we received from Morning Star, the reliability of the company, their attentiveness, the quality of the lodges and camp we stayed at, it was great value for money.

We did a private tour (4 of us) rather than a group tour which allowed the tour to be flexible each day and I would that if you are prepared to pay a little more, do a private tour rather than the group tour (just so you can decide the pace and have that personal experience).

We wouldn't hesitate booking via Morning Star Tours & Travel next time and highly recommend them.
