Wonderful hike to Mandara hut
Went on an amazing day hike from Mrangu Gate to Mandara hut. Our amazing guide was Joel who is a wealth of information. When one of us tripped and scraped up our knee, he was right there helping bandage it up and brainstorming different ways to make sure we made it out before our scheduled time at 5 pm.

A Safari to end all others…
Kale director Oscar was so helpful, responsive and accommodating in helping plan our Safari to Tanzania. He was the reason we decided to go with Kale and we made an excellent decision. We had a driver, Erick, on our first day at Mataruni waterfalls annd Chemka hotsprings and he was fantastic; it was a long day and he was a trooper. Our next driver for the remainder of the 6-day Safari, Sufiani, was kind, genuine and informative the whole trip. We were so happy to have him as our guide and we soon became friends! Kale really pulled out all the stops: beautiful picnics, amazing tours, always asking if we needed anything, and if there was an issue with the campsite or hotel, they always took care of us. We can’t thank them enough and highly recommend!!

Great views and animals, challenging logistics
I booked a group joining safari with Beast Spoor. I was with 7 other several travellers who booked through different agencies. The driver guide was employed by another agency (Axis) too. Although communication upfront with Beast Spoor was good and swift I was not aware of the above.
As the organising agency and the driver were not from Beast Spoor it is difficult to pinpoint whos fault it was when things went wrong (drop off in wrong hotel, driver not fully aware of everything in my package). Logistics was a challenge and waist of time as the group was staying in 3 different lodges througout the trip (3x drop offs and 3x pickups every day). Also this was not communicated to me before.
Having said all this, Beast Spoor did their best to ensure i had a good trip. My advise would be to book a private trip with them not a group joining trip.

Best experience.
I chose Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris because of high quality review that they got, even though they haven't got so many review. I would say what the other said are ture, joel & his friends provide my friend and I the best service starting from all of the queries, pickup, the safari itself. Thank you so much, I would never forget this trip, serengeti is CRAZY beautiful

TRIP PLANNING
Going to Africa has been a dream for our family but we had no idea how to start planning. Working with Morning Star Tours made the process seamless. Specifically, Alice was everything you need in a travel consultant: knowledgeable, responsive, informative, patient, flexible, and she made the process fun! Alice provided us with a number of different options based on budget, length of stay, activities and types of accommodations. All tent camps or hotels she provided were very high quality, transfers, trains and tours were perfect. There was not a detail that was not considered so the trip was incredibly smooth. She was able to support our request to visit six different parks and go to the beach, providing us with expert recommendations about timing, itinerary and important things to see and do from tourist sites to cultural experiences and even volunteering. She answered all of my questions (and there were many) to help us refine the perfect trip for our family. Even when we were there and had questions, she was just a text away. With her help, we created truly core memories which our kids will remember forever.
IN KENYA
Alice had booked us with one of their trusted drivers, Alex who was an incredible driver and wild life guide. We felt 100% safe with him as he navigated city traffic, rural roads, and some tough spots in the parks. With Alex we saw every animal we could have imagined and more including the "Big 5." We saw herds of elephants, lions of all sizes (the babies!!!), a leopard from afar, cheetah up close (including a mama and her young), rhino and many water buffalo. Alex was quick to point out even bird, monkeys and other small animals which were very cool. Alex was with us for 10 days and got to know our family. He worked with us each day to create a plan that was right for us and we had magnificent experiences on safari where he knew how to get us front row seats to the main attractions. He always found clean places to stop and gave us time we needed but kept us on track. He took such good care of our family and was kind, helpful, experienced, reliable, flexible, patient and fun to be around.
THANK YOU Morning Star Tours & Travel!
