not reliable
Overall, we do not recommend this company due to the dishonesty of the owner.
The opinion is based on experiences during an 8-day safari including Parks in Botswana and Victoria Falls.
Cons: Why do we rate the Owner of Lucky as dishonest? We had to buy our own entrance tickets to Victoria Falls, which he confirmed were included in the safari fees. Furthermore, even though he promised to refund these tickets, we never received our money back. An additional minus were the cars we drove - they were not properly checked and prepared, so one of the two vehicles broke down halfway through the safari, and Laky ineptly repaired them after two days.
Pros: It should be noted that the service team itself is great and we highly recommend them. A very good and committed guide, he tracked down every animal and always got very close to it. He was very nice and took care of us at every step. We would also like to thank the chef and assistant for the super tasty food and good organization of the camp, it was delicious, clean and very nice.

An unforgettable, special experience with a new culture and beautiful nature!
My boyfriend and I went on a safari with Roko and Miranda. There was clear communication about the content of our trip in advance and it was adjusted to our personal preferences. Roko really has a lot of knowledge about nature, animals and the entire culture in Tanzania. We were able to see many animals and we were really lucky with this, but Roko and the driver also knew where to find the right places in the national parks. We also had a cook with us on safari who served us delicious food!
Afterwards we stayed for a week in Lake Natron. In the Maasai Guesthouse you will not miss anything as a guest. We also went on a walk to the lake and the waterfalls with Roko (and his brother Bura) as a guide, both walks are definitely recommended! Just like booking with Roko Safaris!

3 Days Safari - an incredible experience
It was a great experience we had with this safari.
Everything was perfectly organized by the company: the transport from the hotel in Zanzibar to the airport, the flights, the overnight accommodation, the safari.
Our driver Innocent picked us up at the airport in Arusha and we drove straight to Tarangire National Park. There was so much to see and our driver tried to show us as many animals as possible.
We stayed overnight near the Manyara National Park. The next day we went to the Ngorogoro crater. Here we were able to see all of the big five. (many thanks to Innocent)
We also visited a little village of Massai, which shown us there lifestyle.
On the third day we were in Manyara National Park. Here our driver tried to show us as many animals as possible, which is not that easy with so many trees. However, in the future I would consider whether I would go to this park again, since compared to the other two parks, there are now very few animals to be seen here. (apparently due to the rising water of the lake)
Innocent was a really good guide who saw animals long before us and pointed them out to us. For us they were mostly at that moment just small dots in the landscape.
Many thanks to the Travel Wise Team and our guide Innocent for this incredible Safari.

The most ideal travel agency for local and international travels.
Y'all should book your next visit via Mamu Safaris. Just had the best time of my life with my best friend at Maasai mara and Great lakes 🥳

Amazing, fantastic experience
Picked up from the airport, taken to the office and then onto adventure. The Masi Mara is a beautiful place with a huge assortment of animals, which thanks to our guide Johny Jackson we saw everyone of. He drove us around for 2 days there and gave us an insight to the animals and how they live. He answered all of our questions and was very friendly, knowledgeable and a lovely man. Onward to Nakuru where again he made sure we saw everything in the national park. We then went on a boat trip at Lake Naivsaha, where we had a CLOSE encounter with a hippo! The accommodation has been very good everywhere and the Kenyan people are wonderful. The children smile and wave at you, the adults ask you how you are! They are amazing, I hope the country never changes. The company were very helpful when neither of our luggage made the flight and arrived a day late to Nairobi airport! They organised that it came up in the next available transport at no extra charge. I will definitely recommend this company to others, we told them our dates and they organised everything. Yes there is a lot of travelling between places but the memories are invaluable and I can't wait to share with others. Many, many thanks your amazing.

Well organized and very worth it
Everything was well arranged, specially the timing. Besides visiting the wonder of the natural park and reserves, the game driver also gives you free time to relax in the afternoon
Communication with our game driver (Joshua) was very good, he made sure that everything go smoothly and he respected the needs of the group. Also he has a wide knowledge about wildlife and nature and he answered all our questions.

Reliable, highly professional tour operator.
We just did a 2 day / 1 night Safari to Amboseli National Park as part of a stopover in Nairobi. Whole experience with Morningstar Tours was awesome. As a family with 2 children (5 and 7 years old) we had many questions which were all taken care of by Carolyn who was extremely attentive and speedy in her replies. All arrangements / promises (e.g. car seats) were kept as aligned. Our Guide Glenn, who picked us up from our Nairobi hotel and was also doing the game drives with us (one in the late afternoon, one in the early morning) delivered a Glenn-tastic experience. He knew exactly where to drive to in order to catch the best views and pictures. Having such a knowledgeable guide with lots of experience really makes a difference. He's certainly an asset for this company.
Wrapping things up, if you're planning to do a Safari and are shopping for a tour operator: Go with Morningstars and ask for Glenn. If you've the opportunity to add a stop-over to your Kenya Airways flight (as we did): Go for it! ;)
