The whole tour company was great from begining to end
The whole safari experience was great! Joysharon was great to help us organize the whole trip. She was in constant communication with us before, during and after the trip.
I did 3 different bookings with them, 2 day trips from Nairobi and 1 trip for 8 days in different parks. The accommodations & the food were good. The drivers were amazing and we learned so much about the animals.
The 2 day trips from Nairobi I did them alone and I felt very safe travelling with the company.

Gold standard customer experience, offering a attentive personalised service
From the start Morning Star stood out, as Robert and Dennis patiently worked through options for our trip to Kenya. Their quote was competitive, but it was their personal service which tipped the balance when it came to choosing. As a group of 8, travelling from the UK, we sought a trip which allowed our children to experience Safari and beach, as well as time in Nairobi. The trip they planned went without hitch. Their drivers were outstanding, the choice of accommodation showed their experience and knowledge of what was on offer. Throughout, they also checked in regularly and ensured everything was in order. They showed a personal interest in making our trip special which went beyond customer service. It showed a real pride in their country and a desire to share this with others. Thank you for giving us an experience of a life time.

Made our journey magic.
We had a great expeeince with morningstar, Dennis helped us with our journey and made it magic. They picked us up at the airport, on time and very helpful. And the driver Alex was very good, he knew where to go on game drives, knew the area and people there. And he also had respect and knowledge for the animals. So we had a great time, had two boys 17 tears and 15 years with us, and they had the best trip ever I think. So I will with no doubt recommand Morningstar travel and tours for everyone. Thank you❤

Organised and Efficient
Morningstar provided the perfect Safari. Our driver Kennedy was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to accommodate all of our wishes.
The whole safari was done within our budget, they provided the best accomodation at a very competitive price.

Morningstar Safaris gave us an amazing safari experience!
My girlfriend and I had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Morningstar Safaris. Our driver, Alex, was truly exceptional at spotting the animals. Thanks to him, we were able to capture multiple stunning photos as he always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. While other drivers sometimes lingered, Alex quickly anticipated the animals' movements. We are incredibly grateful for that.
When it comes to arranging the tour, we cannot thank Dennis enough. From the very first email, I had complete confidence in him. The well-crafted and beautiful quote assured me that everything would be perfect! Dennis is easy to communicate with and readily available to answer any questions. If you want your trip customized in advance, no problem, Dennis will take care of it for you.
If you're looking for an organization to book your safari with, we wholeheartedly recommend Morningstar 100%! We had an unforgettable time, and we already miss it!

Best experience in my life! Honest, good price and quality
Morning star was the best experience I ever have in my life. Dennys was in charge to organice my safari trip for me and my wife. After a few days talking and according hotels and parks he offered me a 7 days safari pack for and incredible price. Hotels and camps were beautiful. Every one has a unique thing. Food was fresh and tasty. We did the safari with Alex. This guy was one of the funniest, intelligent and honest I even seen. He was always there to help us and very patient when we want to take pictures or just rest for a little. One of the best drivers too. The 4x4 was incredible. No words to say thank you and we will love it to do it again because was awesome. And the hot air ballon is gorgeous !! Thank you my friends !!

Fantastic Kenya-based operator
We have just returned to the UK after an amazing holiday with Morning Star. When we booked, we had wanted to use a Kenya-based operator rather than a UK based one and were really impressed with Morning Star - and also their quoted price was was way less than any other companies too! Robert very patiently tailored our ever-changing itinerary plans - thank you so much!
All the hotels and lodges in Nairobi / Masai Mara / Nakuru / Amboseli / Tsavo / Diani Beach were great - we particularly recommend : Sarova Panafric in Nairobi, Ziwa Bush Lodge in Nakuru, and Papillon Reef at Diani Beach.
Our drivers for safaris up to Masai Mara / Nakuru and then to Amboseli / Tsavo were fantastic - prompt, knowledgeable etc - especially Alex who also drove us around Nairobi on a 'memory-lane' tour, to friends homes and came along to church with us on Sunday too!!
Thank you Morning Star - we have no hesitation in recommending you to other travellers - top, top service!!!!

Simply Superb…. And Amazing….!
We (family of 4), have just spent the most amazing week on Safari with Morning Star Safaris in Kenya. Dennis did the most amazing job putting together a customised itinerary for us, which included game reserves (Masai Mara/ Amboseli), Lakes (Nakuru/ Naivasha), cycling in Hell’s Gate, a walking safari as well as meeting and spending time with a Masai tribe. Morning Star provided a brilliant personalised brochure including a breakdown of all of the costs, and Dennis himself almost always responded within a couple of hours, we don’t think he ever slept! Thank you Dennis…Our then there was our Guide… Alex! What a legend! He met us at the airport in a brand new Land Cruiser and took us on the most amazing adventure… Alex has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the the parks, the animals, the birds, the fauna as well as a forensic knowledge of Kenyan culture, history, politics, music, movies and sport… his passion, energy, enthusiasm and humour were infectious, it felt like he was a member of the family by the end of the trip, not just our safari tour guide… thank you Alex! You’re a legend…and thank you Morning Star for helping make our trip to Kenya, the trip of a lifetime.

Amazing! Extremely responsive & professional! Highly recommend!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Morning Star! Dennis, our Tour Consultant, organized every detail of our 11-day Safari/Beach Tour. He was so delightful to work with! Dennis is very responsive (I often wondered if he slept - he responded to emails all day/night), and alleviated all my concerns immediately. The accommodations he selected were beyond beautiful. And the activities he suggested were perfect for our 2 families. He thought of everything, and every detail was beautiful presented in itinerary.
Dennis arranged all the details of our itinerary - then Alex and David, our Tour Guides, executed the plan perfectly. From the moment they all greeted us at the airport - I knew we were in good hands! We were busy, on the move most of the trip, but Alex and David kept us on schedule and handled every aspect (not an easy task with 10 adults/teenagers). We went to 5 National Parks, saw tons of animals, went on a Hot Air Balloon, a boat ride thru Hippos, a bike ride thru Hells Gate, many game drives, visited a village and a school, snorkeled in the Indian Ocean, rode Camels on the beach and stayed at breathtaking accommodations - and everything went so smoothly! We just sat back and enjoyed the journey while Alex and David managed everything.
The Safari Jeeps are new, and in great condition - we even had a mini-fridge and wi-fi in the Jeep!
Overall, the hospitality of Kenya is amazing! At every accommodation we were greeted warmly and completely pampered, they truly strive to make your stay perfect!
Thank you Dennis, Alex & David, and the entire Morning Star Tours team for making our Kenya trip so memorable! I know this was an experience we will never forget! I am so grateful!
