Obviously I made a right choice for my family's journey of life.
Safari in East Africa has always been my family's common dream journey. I was so fascinated by it that I drafted a detailed itinerary right after I booked the flights between China and Kenya. Then, I reached out to Morning Star via Safaribooking. I found that the Tour Consultant of Morning Star-Dennis Kimeu could always get what I want and respond with clear travel plans and according reasonable quotes in time. So I made the choice of Morning Star as our Tour Operator right away. Although it was still about half year before our departure.
To bide the time until that day comes, I have several times wrote to Dennis for various consultations. Dennis kept his polite and efficient style and gave me a lot useful suggestions. For example, we made a adjustment for the arrangement of the day of our arrival at Nairobi just several days before our departure according to the suggestion of Dennis that to visit Giraffe Center instead of United Nations Office for the time-consuming issue at the airport according to his notice. And that's exactly what happened, we queued up for about 2 hours at the Safaricom airport desk.
During our safari journey in Kenya, we have visited Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli successively. We have found so much animals there and seen one scene after another which could only appear on TV in our past lives. Obviously we have collected much more than “Africa Big Five” ，but in particular we witnessed 3 cheetahs successfully hunting an impala in Masai Mara, hyaena feeding baby in Nakuru, zebras just sleeping outside our room in Naivasha and a big group of gazelles grazing just in front of Kilimanjaro in Amboseli.
Finally, I'd like to give a special thanks to our driver guide-Peter Rono, who assisted us to perfectly realize the fantastic journey. Rono is an experienced guide that can always find the animals that we want to see, he is also a highly skilled driver that can always take us to the destinations quickly and safely. What's more, Rono is rich in knowledge of African wildlife and helped us learn a lot during the journey. Most of all, Rono seems to have an unique ability that can predict the action of wildlife so that we can always arrive the location for witnessing in advance and wait them to approach instead of chasing animals all over the savanna.

Best experience
We had no problems traveling with Morning Star Tours & Travel during 6 day safari in Kenya. All the rooms in the camps/lodges we had booked were exactly this type. Every time we got one of the best tables in hotel restaurants with nice view or position. Concerning safari our guide John is a man of few words, but when he spoke it was worth listening to. Also he was tireless "hunter" of animals. We saw a cheetah, sleeping leopards lions and many other animals. But the most important thing - he always followed the "code of the national parks" - do not disturb the animals, do not scare them. Thank You Dennis and John for the great experience.:)

Unforgettable 5-Day Safari Adventure in Kenya!
We had an absolutely incredible 5-day safari in Kenya, visiting Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Crescent Island (by boat), Hell’s Gate (on bike), and a Maasai village. Every moment was breathtaking, from the stunning wildlife to the beautiful landscapes. Our driver and guide, Julius, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always ensuring we had the best experience possible. The 4x4 vehicle was top-notch, perfect for the rugged terrain and giving us great views of the animals. This trip exceeded all our expectations, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Kenyan safari adventure! Thank you, Julius, for making it so memorable!

Professional, responsive and memorable
My husband and I selected Morningstar Safaris to accompany us throughout our very first Safari experience in Kenya during our honeymoon. It is safe to say that it was a memorable experience, we loved the attention to detail. We have requested a package for a private tour in 3 locations and that is exactly what Dennis provided us with. We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Everything is taken care of and you can just sit and enjoy the journey. Throughout the 6 days our guide, Willy, ensured we had a smooth trip across all the safari points. He followed everything timely and as planned. His passion and expertise made us not only spot animal in the wild but also getting to know them better. For anyone doing this the first time, it is not given that you can spot all animals, however, Willy went on and beyond so we saw Cheetah, Lions, Elephants, Rhinos and many more. Another thing we also enjoyed is the transparency and clarity of the program throughout the 6 days and the responsiveness in communication. Last but not least, all the accommodations have been on point (Entim has been our highlight for the adventuros experience of sleeping in a tent with not fence and also the food as well as the staff super attentive). Another thing we appreciated is the rescheduling of the giraffe center as we unfortunately ran out of time on our last day and Simon who picked us up has been a truly welcoming and supportive person ensuring we were fine from start to finish. To anyone looking to a professional and passionate safari operator, don’t miss booking with these guys! (trust me when I say saw we reviewed 10 of the top tour operators including accommodations one by one including what they offer and they ended up being the best ones quality-price wise!)
