We are grateful for Morning Star and the magical trip they organized.
Morning Star delivered us a truly magical honeymoon in Kenya. Dennis’s prompt and professional replies and a thorough and transparent custom itinerary made us sure they were the company to go with. Our guide, Chalo Masila (Alex) was not only passionate and thoroughly knowledgeable conservationist, he was also very friendly, welcoming and organized. He is highly respected amongst hotel staff and other guides and this paid dividends- he was able to organize and direct the safari vehicle traffic to allow our vehicle to be the closest one to the animals- especially around the lions and leopard. Our safari vehicle was brand new- less than 12,000KM, and was the envy of the other guides. They delivered us a trip that included seeing over 30 unique safari animals (including the big 5), beautiful birds, the petting a rhino and of a hyena cub, sunrises over the great migration in a hot air balloon, elephants in front of our hotel patio, dances with the Masai Mara, and luxurious accommodations with truly exceptional hotel services. We were comfortable, safe, and in perpetual awe. We will go back to Kenya, and we will use Morning Star as our tour company. Thank you Kenya, and thank you Morning Star.

Attentive to detail and ensuring customer satisfaction as number one priority
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.

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

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.

Perfect!
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!

Exceeds our expectations. Well organized & responsive
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!

Amazing Team!
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 !

Morning Star Tour which excellent services, knowledgeable guides, and well-planned
Dear Morningstar Travel Agency,
I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional 8-day, 7-night safari experience in Kenya. The entire journey was made truly unforgettable, thanks to your outstanding services, knowledgeable guides, and meticulously planned itinerary.
From the moment we arrived, your team ensured that every detail was taken care of. The private chartered vehicle was not only comfortable but also allowed us to explore the vast and diverse landscapes of Kenya with ease. Our guides were not only experts in wildlife and conservation but also great companions who shared their passion for the natural wonders of Kenya.
The itinerary you put together was a perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. We had the privilege of witnessing the breathtaking wildlife in their natural habitat, from the majestic Maasai Mara to the stunning landscapes of Amboseli National Park. Each day brought new discoveries and unforgettable moments that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Your commitment to responsible tourism and sustainable practices also left a positive impact on us. It's clear that Morningstar Travel Agency not only values its clients but also the environment and local communities.
Once again, thank you for the remarkable safari experience in Kenya. It exceeded all our expectations, and we are incredibly grateful for the memories we've made. We will wholeheartedly recommend Morningstar Travel Agency to anyone seeking an extraordinary adventure in Africa.
Warmest regards,
Lester

Morningstar were fab. I'm so glad we booked with them - Alice in head office was amazing. She helped us plan the perfect break at a really great cost. I must of changed the plan 10 times and nothing was too much trouble. Everything went so smoothly and there were no hiccups at all.
Willis, our driver was excellent - knew the parks like the back of his hand, always knew where to spot the animals and went the extra mile to make our trip perfect.
10/10 would recommend.
