Great tour and great guides
Our experience with Morning Star was great from the first contact till the end of our trip. Alice was very responsive and helped us plan a trip that matches our interests. She even helped organize a surprise birthday celebration for my husband! We had 2 guides. James for Kenya and Tony for Tanzania. We liked James so much that we were worried to change guides. But Tony was also amazing and it was hard to say goodbye to him as well! They both told us lots of interesting facts about the animal kingdom and took care of us during our 8 days safari. The lodges we slept in were also a great choice (credits to Alice). Overall I highly recommend Morning Star. Satisfaction guaranteed!

Perfect!
Despite booking the three day Safari on short notice we had a great Safari from start to finish. Joseph arranged the planning of the Safari perfectly and the driver James showed us all the highlights of tsavo-west and amboseli.
Every effort was made to make this our best Safari and we certainly succeeded.
Morningstar is definitely recommended!

The most amazing experience EVER!!
From start to finish, the process was seamless. To Start, Dennis K. Our tour consultant was AMAZING! Dennis is super friendly and available at all times. He answered every question, email, call, etc…. As this was our first experience, we had several concerns. All of our questions and concerns prior to the trip were answered immediately, with reassurance which was fantastic.
It was my wife’s birthday so I asked for a surprise bday cake …. Not only did they arrange a bday cake, they created an UNFORGETTABLE birthday surprise with the Maasai Warriors performing their traditional dance at our Camp! It was AMAZING! I highly recommend Morningstar Safari to anyone looking for a life changing experience!

Fantastic from start to finish
The few days we had with Morning Star Tours & Travel were incredibly well organised, with our lift from Nairobi to Amboseli being seamless. Our short stay at Amboseli was good, with the staff being friendly and the food great. The couple of game drives were awesome too, with our guide, Rono, being very much suited to my partner and I as he is a lovely chap who is always willing to answer questions and go the extra mile. Rono then drove us a considerable distance along some dodgy roads to Tsavo National Park (salt lick lodge) where not only we had a great room but the game drives were good and food absolutely amazing. After we left salt lick to come to Mombasa and Diani Beach, Rono drove us to the train station (all organised in advance with tickets bought) where we had a lovely journey down in 1st class with plenty of leg room and refreshments.
Rono is a credit to the tour provider and would highly recommend him to anyone going to this part of Kenya. Me and my partner wish him and his family all the best for the future.

Dream holiday
We enjoyed every single second of this trip: we started with Amboseli Park, then Tsavo East and West finishing our safari in Diani Beach.
Thanks to James(our guide driver) we saw animals in their wildlife! He was able to answer all our questions and gave us some nice stories about animals lives.
Thanks to our travel agent Alice we had a life dream holiday, everything was planned for us and she was always ready to answer my texts also in the evening.
We’re so happy about everything, it was magical.
Thank you to Morningstar Safari and to driver Augustine, always ready to make us laugh.
I recommend this agency to everyone ! 100%

Couldn'tve done it without Dennis!
This was my 1st African safari, my 1st trip outside of the North American continent thus and quite the accomplishment. If anyone knows me, there are two things I love dearly: (1) THE Ohio State Buckeyes and (2) zebras. Therefore, in the case of the latter, seeing zebras on an African safari was quite the dream come true. I initially planned to go on a Kenya/Tanzania safari; however, I fell a bit behind in paying for the trip. I fell behind enough to the point where Dennis, my travel consultant could have easily cancelled my trip. Not only did Dennis NOT cancel the trip, he and his team prepared a more financially reasonable Kenya safari attending these 8 Kenyan parks: (1) Amboseli NP, (2) Lake Navaisha, (3) Samburu NR, (4) Lake Nakuru, (5) Masai Mara NR, (6) Lake Elementaita, (7) Aberdare NP, and (8) Ol Pejeta Conservancy. With the help my driver Daniel, not only did I see plenty of zebras (to whom Daniel referred to as "my friends"), I saw the entire Big Nine, Samburu/Special Five, and the Ugly Five. During the 14 day Kenya campaign, I experienced game drives in 4 different ways: (1) by car, (2) by boat, (3) on foot, and (4) via hot balloon; the different methods helped minimize the monotony on a safari. Throughout the game drives, I let Daniel know what animals I wanted to see and he made sure to take the time to see them. Overall, the lodges I stayed at were enjoyable; the highlights being Lake Navaisha Sopa Lodge (there were literal zebras running around, best ambiance), Samburu Ashnil Lodge (best dining experiences and best room), and Zebra Plains Masai Mara Lodge (best overall physical property presentation). I cannot thank Dennis, Daniel, and Morningstar Safaris enough for how well they treated me. They were well in their right to have cancelled my trip; but instead they did everything they could to make this trip a success. As a result, with better planning on my end, I anticipate planning a Tanzania safari with Dennis and Morningstar!

Perfect coordination, awesome staff.
The Morningstar team was very engaging even from day 1 with the quote, communication throughout the process was very good. Dennis helped us taylor our perfect itinerary and it has been beyond awesome. Drivers and guides Willy and Jackson took us to amazing places and teach us about the animals and cultures everywhere we go. After agreeing on itinerary, we didnt have to worry about absolutely anything. They coordinate everything for you. 10/10 would recommend 100%

Best tour ever!
I highly recommend this small business! We went to Kenya for a 3 days private safari tour with Maasai village visit! It was our fantastic 3 days. Ronno, our driver tried everything to give us the best experience during the safari! The accommodation at Enchoro Wildlife Camp provided an unforgettable experience!

First Class Tour Operator
I enjoyed my Wildlife Safari and Beach combo with Morning Star Tours. Dennis was super organized and delivered what the tour description promised. I saw lots of amazing wildlife and had many memorable experiences in the national parks and on the Indian Ocean. Alex, my tour guide and driver, was knowledgeable, personable, a safe driver and always on time. This tour was the highlight of my travels to Kenya. I do not hesitate to recommend Morning Star to others.
