Amazing top 3 experience
The Benson Safari trip was organized incredibly. Their guides are intuitive and committed to giving their guests an amazing trip. This is the second time we used them. And if we ever come back we’ll use them again.

Amazing Lemosho route to Kilimanjaro summit!
We embarked in this adventure I have been dreaming for years, finally taking on Lomosho route to the summit of mount Kilimanjaro! Jackson was great, as the whole team with the guides Bony and Mudy, and all the porters. We came from far away, and didn't want to go back home anymore. It really felt like family, a travel I will never forget.

Magic
Excellent experience for our honeymoon with this safari agency.
Tanzanians are really welcoming and caring. Especially Thomas and Peter, our guides and drivers, who made us spend an unforgettable and magical stay and who took care of us during the trip.
For 3 days we were with them and we did our safari in Tarangire National Park, Ngorogoro National Park and Lake Manyara. Everything was well organized.
The landscapes are magnificent, the guides are really passionate, experienced and respectful of the fauna and flora. They were concerned about protecting the animals, and also protecting us and making us have a good time.
We were able to see a lot of wild animals but we learned a lot about them, their environment but also about the Wananchi culture.
We recommend this agency and this trip to everyone, which was exotic.
We leave with our heads full of memories…

Outstanding from all points of view!
Went on safari in October 2024. I communicated from Australia with the Afromaxx office based in Moshi.
The administration from pre-booking to booking was outstanding - all perfectly streamlined.
The driver and driving ( no speeding like some other companies that drove past) was excellent as was all the accomodation in the parks and outside. The travel companions were excellent too!

Responsive
We had a wonderful 6-day safari experience with Destiny Explorers and our guide, Denis. The company was responsive and had consistent communication from initial inquiry, through payment, and during our travels. Issa and his team made excellent accommodation selections that provided opportunities for rest during the adventure of a lifetime. As a driver and guide, Denis was engaged, proactive, and safety-minded. I appreciated how Denis encouraged questions not just about animals and the environment, but also about culture, language, and customs. We were better travelers and guests because of his leadership -- plus we saw all the animals on our list and had moments of absolute wonder. Cannot imagine a better trip for the price. Destiny Explorers, Issa, and especially Denis, are just fabulous.

Outstanding Safari Experience in Kenya and Tanzania
I have visited Kenya and Tanzania with my wife and 15 years old daughter during the year end holidays, and we had a wonderful experience using Morning Star Tours & Travel services to organize our safari. Starting with Alice, who was our travel consultant and was very engaging and patient since the first contact. She helped me go through multiple iterations to create the perfect itinerary that would meet our expectations within the time and budget we had available – our itinerary started in Nairobi, went through Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, crossing then the border to Tanzania to visit Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Arusha. Alice help us find outstanding lodging options for a very fair price. During the trip she was always very responsive, regularly making the point to contact us through WhatsApp and check if everything was going as expected.
We also had a fantastic experience with all the guides we had during the trip: starting with Justus, who was right at the airport waiting for us after a late night arrival to bring us quickly and safely to our hotel in Nairobi. That was followed by an incredible time with Chacha, who was our guide throughout Kenya starting the next day. Chacha shared his energy and passion for the work he does to help us have a great experience in the wild, as well as a safe journey in-between the parks all the way from Nairobi to Tanzania. We changed vehicles upon crossing the border to Tanzania – Jackson was our new guide at that point and did an outstanding job in helping us notice everything along the way, and I will always be grateful for his determination to help us see all the big 5 in Serengeti. Lastly, for our last day from the vicinities of Ngorongoro crater to our departure in Arusha airport, our guide Prince did way more than just drive us to the airport: given we had a bit more time, he went above and beyond and drove us through the main points in downtown Arusha and shared his knowledge of the city he clearly loves, what allowed us to learn a bit more from that important hub in the region.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the safari organized by Morning Star both in terms of quality, price and punctuality. I will keep fond memories from our trip for a long time to come, certainly recommending their services to all my friend and family. A special thanks to Alice, Justus, Chacha, Jackson and Prince for doing everything they could to make the experience even more memorable!

Professional, knowledgeable, experienced, accomodating, personable
Fabulous locally owned tour operator! (Grew up near Arusha with Maasai background.) Good communication through Whatsapp. We were 10 hours late due to a flight delay, but our driver was waiting for us when we landed. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Jackson has been guiding for 16+ years and has even trained other guides. He handles the road conditions well, and somehow manages to get you to great viewing spots despite congestion with the other tourist vehicles. He is very knowledgeable regarding the area, as well as the animals and their territories (and even the many birds). He can help plan your itinerary based on your interests, and will also take your interests into account when you are out sightseeing. He is familiar with the accommodations and can recommend the best value. We stayed in some tented camps with beds, hot showers, and wifi, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Great variety of food: I don't eat much meat and am fairly picky, unlike my husband who loves meat and is much more adventurous with food. Both of us were very satisfied with the included meals. When we were informed of an outbound flight delay, Jackson was able to maximize our sightseeing time. The scenery and animals are amazing, but our trip was made even better because of the knowledge, detail and organization provided by our tour operator!

Phenomenal!!!!
From the moment we booked the safari until we landed back in the States, I had the experience of a lifetime! Vera was very kind and patient, answering all of my questions, through prompt responses to my emails. When we landed in Nairobi in the middle of the night,, I felt very safe and secure. The next morning we were met by Vera and our guide, Chris. They both were very knowledgeable and welcomed all questions.
I can't explain the next 10 days other than to say it was absolutely the best experience ever. I was going to be happy if I got to see a lion or elephant, but we saw every animal imaginable. Chris was phenomenal in every way, from being extremely patient with us when we wanted to stay in the same place just to capture the "right" picture to explaining the culture and geography of Kenya, right down to the plant life.
I was worried about the food and if I would like it, but, like the rest of the experience, the food was outstanding! I thought I would lose weight, but I think I gained some. They even made me a birthday cake, as we were there on my birthday!!
I am planning on returning to Africa soon. I will not use any other company. I cannot say enough good things about Peaks and Safaris!!!!
