Amazing experience!
I went on a two day Safari to Amboseli. The experience was amazing. I appreciated the service and responsiveness of Morningstar tours throughout. They contacted me early on to help me clarify my wishes and iron out any issues with booking. In the days before the tour, they sent me timely reminders and made arrangement for hotel pickup. Driver was very friendly and serviceable. The game drives were amazing with the driver finding the best spots to see animals. The lodge was great too. Would definitely book with Morningstar again.

Listened to what we wanted, planned a great trip and delivered exactly as expected
We had a spare day in Nairobi and contacted several tour organisers with our ideas of what we wanted to do. Morningstar Tours stood out because they responded promptly and proposed an excellent itinerary that demonstrated they had listed too what we wanted. It was a full day trip (7am to 7pm) and was well organised and delivered by a good driver and guide. We were very happy and would recommend this company. The consultant (Jospeh) was very good and marinated good contact with us until the day before the trip. It is difficult booking trips with operators overseas when you don't really know the pedigree of the company, but I can say that Morningstar delivered exactly what we wanted.
Amazing experience
Awesome experience. Would definitely do it again. Everything was super professional and very well done. Perfect trip.

Excellent day trip from Nairobi to Lake Elementaita with professional service
We had a day spare in Nairobi so organised a day tour with JoySharon at Morningstar. She was most attentive to our needs, very prompt in all replies and completely professional. We wanted to see flamingos and so travelled out to Lake Elementaita. There were not many companies offering a trip to this lake, however when I suggested it JoySharon was happy to accommodate the request. We then came back to Nairobi to visit the Giraffe centre. Our guide Alex was excellent. He was punctual, charming and extremely knowledgeable about birds. We can highly recommend Morningstar as a excellent safari company.

Reliable, adaptable guide with good pre-safari communication
This was a competitively priced mid-level four-day safari visiting 3 reserves in Kenya: Masai Mara, Laka Naivasha, and Hell's Gate. Morningstar Tours worked with us to customize our experience, for example we were able to request a bit of hiking time to go with our driving time, visit a Masai village, and at the end two of our party were dropped at the Nairobi airport while the other two were dropped in the Nairobi Central Business District. Our guide Dominic was excellent, knowledgeable and helpful. He skillfully guided us into the heart of the Masai Mari to see some fantastic wildlife. The Lake Naivasha boat ride was an excellent way to see hippos and lovely birds. The only hiccup in the trip was that during our planned afternoon visit to Hell's Gate, an enormous crowd was gathered to watch the WRC Safari Rally at Hell's Gate that same day. It would have been great if the tour company had foreseen this giant traffic jam and switched our planned day to visit Hell's Gate.

Amazing safari trip with attention to all the details!
We have just returned from our 12 day safari tour with Morningstar Tours & Travel and we can't stop talking about it! Our group worked closely with Dennis to customize a tour itinerary for our families that led us to multiple national parks, a beach resort on the Indian Ocean, and witnessing, firsthand, all of the animals, culture, and landscapes that Kenya has to offer. Our drivers/guides, Alex and David were extremely reliable and knowledgeable - they kept us on schedule and informed about everything, every single step of the way. We had amazing experiences such as sunrise hot air ballooning, visiting a primary school and Maasai village, biking through Hells Gate, sampling cuisine at local restaurants, and snorkeling in beautiful, pristine waters. In all, we felt very cared-for throughout this once in a lifetime trip and would highly recommend Morningstar to anyone interested in an adventure!

Fantastic
Dennis and the team went above and beyond to deliver my safari experience.
The communication was fantastic from the outset and they customised an itinerary for my particular requirements. They also helped greatly with some of the administrative issues.
The accommodation sourced was first class, and the drivers were excellent - Jackson in particular.
An experience, I'll never forget!
I'm already looking forward to booking my next safari through Morningstar.

Greatly organized and responsive
I wanted to discover the Amboseli wildlife preservation park in Kenya, asked for it to different « Safari operators ». The best accommodations were proposed by Morning Star. During the trip, I also discovered the professionalism of the team, the expertise of the guide and had an amazing experience. You want to try something else than the classical driving game ? Just ask Morning Star, they know the country !

Friendly professional
My correspondance from Europe with Mrs Alice was consistent and perfect to organise the safari in the lodge of our choice. Her patience and kindness is a touch of excellency. The driver Joseph picked us up at Nairobi airport as planned and made our safari fun and chill. His knowledge & perseverance & patience combined allowed us to see the big 4 not the big 5 as expected as the rhino is hard to find. We highly recommend Morningstar as a serious operator in Kenya.

African hospitality is the best!
I'd like to add one more review for Morningstar. They gave us a T-shirt and some African tea and coffee as gifts. On our way to the airport at the end of our trip, the Director Robert and the consultant Dennis came to meet us in person and took us to a local restaurant for a complimentary lunch. What a surprise! How sweet they are! People, just book with Morningstar. We are very glad with our choice!
