Extraordinary :)
Our safari with Morning Star Tours was extraordinary! The guide (James) was incredibly knowledgeable, ensuring unforgettable wildlife encounters, including the Big Five. Accommodations were luxurious yet close to nature, and the agency’s commitment to sustainability was commendable. Every detail was perfectly planned, making it a seamless, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Discussing all the details and sharing your expectations in advance is invaluable. It ensures the agency understands your preferences, allowing them to craft a tailored experience that exceeds your expectations.
Thank you Dennis and yJames for all :)
Highly recommended!

All perfect!
Morningstar organized 4 days of safari for us, from the Nairobi National Park to the Masai Mara.
Our guide Mololo was perfect, competent and attentive to our needs. There was a problem booking the train from Nairobi to Mombasa but the agency promptly remedied it. Super recommended!

Seamless organization and wonderful customer care
Had a great 10 day trip in Kenya organized by Alice at Morningstar (Safari in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo + 4 days at the beach in Diani).
The organization pre-trip was seamless (great communication, flexibility, customer support) at a competitive cost vs other operators.
During the trip, Alice was also available throughout to coordinate our trip and help with on-the-go changes we requested.
During the safari, we had a very knowledgeable driver / guide, James, who went above and beyond to make sure we could see as much as possible nature / animals during the game drives.
A very positive experience that I definitely recommend!

Outstanding Safari Experience in Kenya and Tanzania
I have visited Kenya and Tanzania with my wife and 15 years old daughter during the year end holidays, and we had a wonderful experience using Morning Star Tours & Travel services to organize our safari. Starting with Alice, who was our travel consultant and was very engaging and patient since the first contact. She helped me go through multiple iterations to create the perfect itinerary that would meet our expectations within the time and budget we had available – our itinerary started in Nairobi, went through Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, crossing then the border to Tanzania to visit Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Arusha. Alice help us find outstanding lodging options for a very fair price. During the trip she was always very responsive, regularly making the point to contact us through WhatsApp and check if everything was going as expected.
We also had a fantastic experience with all the guides we had during the trip: starting with Justus, who was right at the airport waiting for us after a late night arrival to bring us quickly and safely to our hotel in Nairobi. That was followed by an incredible time with Chacha, who was our guide throughout Kenya starting the next day. Chacha shared his energy and passion for the work he does to help us have a great experience in the wild, as well as a safe journey in-between the parks all the way from Nairobi to Tanzania. We changed vehicles upon crossing the border to Tanzania – Jackson was our new guide at that point and did an outstanding job in helping us notice everything along the way, and I will always be grateful for his determination to help us see all the big 5 in Serengeti. Lastly, for our last day from the vicinities of Ngorongoro crater to our departure in Arusha airport, our guide Prince did way more than just drive us to the airport: given we had a bit more time, he went above and beyond and drove us through the main points in downtown Arusha and shared his knowledge of the city he clearly loves, what allowed us to learn a bit more from that important hub in the region.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the safari organized by Morning Star both in terms of quality, price and punctuality. I will keep fond memories from our trip for a long time to come, certainly recommending their services to all my friend and family. A special thanks to Alice, Justus, Chacha, Jackson and Prince for doing everything they could to make the experience even more memorable!

On time all the time.
Morningstar was perfect! Our tour guide Alex was amazing. He was always available when he said he would be and brought us to all the best spots for animal viewing. January was a great time to do this because of how little people were in the parks, it felt like we had them to ourselves. Even in the off-season, we saw the big 5 and ugly 5.

perfect safari trip
We was the first time on a safari and what can we say, we loved it!! Joysharon planned everything for us perfect and was so lovely. Our driver John was the perfect driver and guided, he knows all the places where the animals stays and we learnd a lot about the animals and nature. He was very helpful and friendly and a funny person. He loves his job and that makes the feeling more special. We saw all the big 5 and more. It was so beautiful. We was in amboseli nationalpark, nakuru nationalpark and masai mara nationalpark. Also we did a hot air balloon safari in masai mara. Everything was organized from mornigstar safaris and the fit was perfect. Also the hotels and the food was very nice.
We thank the whole mornigstar team and hope we will see us again.

TRIP PLANNING
Going to Africa has been a dream for our family but we had no idea how to start planning. Working with Morning Star Tours made the process seamless. Specifically, Alice was everything you need in a travel consultant: knowledgeable, responsive, informative, patient, flexible, and she made the process fun! Alice provided us with a number of different options based on budget, length of stay, activities and types of accommodations. All tent camps or hotels she provided were very high quality, transfers, trains and tours were perfect. There was not a detail that was not considered so the trip was incredibly smooth. She was able to support our request to visit six different parks and go to the beach, providing us with expert recommendations about timing, itinerary and important things to see and do from tourist sites to cultural experiences and even volunteering. She answered all of my questions (and there were many) to help us refine the perfect trip for our family. Even when we were there and had questions, she was just a text away. With her help, we created truly core memories which our kids will remember forever.
IN KENYA
Alice had booked us with one of their trusted drivers, Alex who was an incredible driver and wild life guide. We felt 100% safe with him as he navigated city traffic, rural roads, and some tough spots in the parks. With Alex we saw every animal we could have imagined and more including the "Big 5." We saw herds of elephants, lions of all sizes (the babies!!!), a leopard from afar, cheetah up close (including a mama and her young), rhino and many water buffalo. Alex was quick to point out even bird, monkeys and other small animals which were very cool. Alex was with us for 10 days and got to know our family. He worked with us each day to create a plan that was right for us and we had magnificent experiences on safari where he knew how to get us front row seats to the main attractions. He always found clean places to stop and gave us time we needed but kept us on track. He took such good care of our family and was kind, helpful, experienced, reliable, flexible, patient and fun to be around.
THANK YOU Morning Star Tours & Travel!

Brilliant and caring
We were a big family group from three different parts of the world all meeting up at Nairobi air port. With ages ranging from under ten to over seventy, Morning star catered well for us all!!
Our two drivers in two Land Cruises really took care of our needs and drove so well! There was a real sense of adventure every time we went out on safari! We had plenty of bumpy and dusty ‘roller coaster’ rides! Fun and Exciting! I felt so safe!! We saw such a variety of birds and animals. Both drivers were knowledgeable. Masila knew about the birds and Willy, who was very attentive, was a font of knowledge about the safari animals. I felt lucky and honoured to be driven by such gentle and professional drivers!! Amazing experience!
Thank you Masila and Willy.
