Dennis was very responsive, knowledgeable and thoughtful, the service was impeccable
I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on a safari adventure in Kenya, and I must say, thanks to Morningstar, it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment we landed to the last game drive, every aspect of this trip was well planned and executed, offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will stay with me forever.
The highlight of the trip was, of course, the wildlife. We were fortunate enough to witness the Big Five—lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo—in their natural habitat. The Masai Mara was teeming with wildlife, and our guide Augustine was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about conservation. Every game drive brought something new, from a pride of lions lounging in the shade to a herd of elephants crossing the savannah. The close encounters with these majestic animals were truly awe-inspiring.
Our lodgings were superb based of Dennis’s recommendations, blending luxury with the raw beauty of the African wilderness. We stayed in a tented camp that offered comfort without compromising the authentic safari experience. Falling asleep to the sounds of the wild and waking up to a breathtaking sunrise over the plains was an experience I will never forget.
Our guide Augustine was an expert in his field, with an incredible ability to spot animals from afar and provide detailed insights into their behavior. His passion and dedication ensured that we had the best possible experience, making every game drive exciting and educational.
The landscapes in Kenya are simply breathtaking. From the rolling plains of the Masai Mara to the towering Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance, the scenery is as much a part of the experience as the wildlife. Dennis suggested us to visit Tsavo West that was not on my original plan and it turned out great. We enjoyed the forest and Devil’s lava. The sunsets were particularly stunning, painting the sky in hues of orange, pink, and purple.
This Kenya safari was a dream come true. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or this is your first safari, I can’t recommend this experience with Morning Star enough. The combination of extraordinary wildlife, luxurious accommodation, rich cultural encounters, and outstanding service made this trip unforgettable. If you’re considering a safari, Morningstar should be at the top of your list.

Great organization
Lion King was excellent during trip preparation and execution. They were quick and responsive to all of our questions and generally made a complicated trip very easy to manage. We had a wonderful safari and saw every type of animal. If there is one thing to improve the guide (who spoke perfect English) could have been more communicative to help us understand the plan each day and explain where we were going, what we were seeing, and more of the local culture. But we had a wonderful trip. Thanks Lion King!

Better than expected
Stanley is the right guide to have and to get the value of your money. He is knowledgeable of the Kruger park, animals’ life and story.

Amazing experience with super reasonable price
This was an amazing tour, that was really well organized with a lot of attention to detail. We did the camping option, which was cozy, and took place at campsites with running water and a food hall. The tour was well planned and the guides were amazing.
Mr T picked us up at the airport and was super kind and helpful even though are flight was several hours delayed. He also helped us with organizational questions during the entire safari.
Golden was an amazing driver. He knew how to manoeuvre the car to find the best spots and get the best views. He knew lots of fun facts about the place and animals.
Salim was our cook and his meals were outstanding. I really mean it, his breakfast, lunches and dinner were all gourmet. It added a whole other layer of amazing to the experience.
Chuke picked us up at the end and was very kind and welcoming, and made sure we got to our final destination.

Par excellence!
This person went for four days and five days and saw the big five. Like our guide said, "What you won't see at Masai Mara you will see at Nakuru". He was right. Nakuru is a very small National Park. You can drive around it in a couple of hours, but it had a leopard sitting lazily in a tree, a family of white rhinoceros eating grass quietly and a group of giraffes moving in normal speed was like watching giants moving in slow motion. What a fantastic experience!

Excellent Safari Company
Nothing but good things to say about our safari tour from beginning to end. Reservations were easy. The tour was as stated. We enjoyed our tour guide, who was very knowledgeable. We stayed at Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp. Tenting is the way to go if you do a safari. The accommodations were great and we were right next to an animal watering hole. The food was excellent. We did a number of animal drives and our tour guide gave sufficient time to view and photograph the animals. We also stopped at a Masai village. I would advise booking months in advance as rooms fill up quickly especially during the months of June-August.
