Excellent safari with Morningstar Safaris—flexible, reliable, and expertly guided by Jackson.
Our 4-day Serengeti safari with Morningstar Tours and Travel was truly unforgettable, and Jackson was the reason it was such an exceptional experience.
From the moment he picked us up at the airport until he dropped us off for our departure, everything was perfectly organized. Jackson was extremely punctual, professional, and reliable, ensuring that every part of the journey ran smoothly and stress-free.
During our four days in the Serengeti, it became clear that Jackson is an outstanding guide. His knowledge of wildlife, animal behavior, and the Serengeti ecosystem is simply incredible. He always seemed to know exactly where to be and when, allowing us to enjoy countless amazing sightings. Time and again, he spotted animals that we would never have seen ourselves and positioned the vehicle perfectly for the best views and photographs.
What impressed us most was his passion and dedication. He went above and beyond every day to make sure we had the best possible experience. His enthusiasm for the Serengeti is contagious, and he made every game drive exciting, educational, and memorable.
Jackson is not only an excellent guide but also a wonderful person. He made us feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for throughout our trip. His professionalism, experience, and positive attitude turned an already incredible destination into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
If you are planning a safari in Tanzania with Morningstar Tours and Travel, do yourself a favor and specifically request Jackson as your guide. He is truly exceptional and played a huge role in making our Serengeti safari one of the best travel experiences we have ever had.
Thank you, Jackson, for the memories. We will never forget them.

Morningstar is highly flexible, well organized, and responds quickly to requests.
My husband and I booked a 4-day safari tour in the Serengeti with MorningStar. Our guide, Jackson, picked us up from the airport on the very first day and even gave us a small safari experience on the way to our hotel. We were impressed by both him and the safari from day one – and it only got better from there.
Jackson is an outstanding guide. He shared his extensive knowledge of wildlife with us, making every game drive both informative and fascinating. He also has an incredible eye for spotting animals from a distance. Thanks to him, we were able to see a huge variety of wildlife and learn a great deal about the Serengeti ecosystem.
What stood out most was his friendly, accommodating, and flexible nature. He was always willing to adapt the schedule to our wishes, for example when we wanted to go on a drive later in the evening. Jackson is a very relaxed, kind, and genuinely cool person to spend time with, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable.
Every day brought new experiences and unforgettable memories. We are truly grateful to have had Jackson as our guide and would happily book another safari with him anytime.
As he taught me to say: Asante sana!

Fantastic Experience, highly recommended
From the very first email to the final wave goodbye at the airport, our journey with this incredible team was nothing short of magic. Our group of 11—spanning energetic kids, busy adults, and beloved seniors—was handled with such genuine care that every single one of us felt seen and cherished.
Simon, our guide, was the heartbeat of our adventure. He didn't just drive us from point to point; he wove stories into every mile, patiently answered a thousand questions, and made sure our seniors were comfortable while our kids were wide-eyed with wonder. He picked us up with a warm smile, navigated us seamlessly through the bush, dropped us off for our unforgettable Boma dinner under the stars, and led us along the thundering edge of Victoria Falls—where the mist kissed our faces and rainbows danced at our feet. And when it was time to leave, he delivered us to the airport not as clients, but as friends.
The helicopter ride over the Falls was a breathtaking exclamation point—soaring above the mighty Zambezi, watching the sheer curtain of water plunge into the gorge below, a perspective that left us all speechless. Then came Hwange, where elephants marched past our vehicle like ancient royalty, and Chobe, where hippos grunted in numbers, and crocodiles slid silently into the emerald waters—each safari revealing a new layer of Chobe's raw, untamed soul.
Behind it all was Tatenda, the quiet professional who orchestrated everything with grace and precision. When he surprised us with a complimentary night's upgrade, it wasn't just a nicer room—it was a gesture that told us we mattered. That extra space and comfort, especially for our seniors, was the kind of thoughtful touch that turns a great trip into a treasured lifetime memory.
To the entire team—thank you for not just hosting us, but for welcoming us into your world. This wasn't a vacation; it was a love letter to Africa, and we were lucky enough to read every page. We left with memories, full hearts, sandy shoes, and stories we'll tell for decades. Absolutely unforgettable.

Best tour guides!! Highly recommend
Overall, our tour was incredible and life changing. Our tour guides went above and beyond in every aspect, ensuring that we were able to view as many species as possible, while also prioritizing safety and comfy travel. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the area, and were able to answer every question we had about the wildlife there. As a photographer, they were also very accommodating with positioning the vehicle to ensure good photography angles. Most importantly, our tour guides were very friendly and fun people to be around, making the entire trip so memorable.

Vehicle issues
We had a good safari experience overall, thanks especially to our driver, Hilary. He was extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, and was always willing to share interesting information.
However, I would like to express my concern regarding the condition of the vehicle. From the very beginning of the trip, the engine was making unusual noises, which made me feel that the vehicle may not have been properly inspected before departure. Unfortunately, the vehicle later experienced mechanical problems on the way back. We had to ask for other Safari company to give us a ride back.
As a safari company responsible for guests’ safety, I believe vehicles should undergo thorough safety inspections and maintenance before being used for tours. While I appreciate the company’s efforts to resolve the situation, this incident has left me concerned about the overall safety management procedures.
Hilary did an excellent job throughout the experience, and I am grateful for his dedication. I hope the company will take this matter seriously and strengthen its vehicle maintenance and safety checks to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.

Bad experience with Greg Adventures
We were scheduled on a 3 days safari tour with Greg Adventures.
On May 19, 2026, while exiting the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the safari vehicle suffered a mechanical failure, causing a delay of over two hours. Despite clear concerns regarding roadworthiness, the vehicle was not replaced.
Later that same day, while traveling within the Serengeti National Park, the vehicle lost control and overturned.
As a result:
Two passengers sustained significant injuries, including:
Deep lacerations requiring more than 20 stitches
Three fractured ribs and head injury
All passengers were exposed to significant risk and experienced trauma as a result of the accident
Following the accident, the driver:
Failed to assess or verify the condition of passengers
Failed to provide or offer first aid
Failed to activate timely emergency response procedures
Passengers were forced to administer emergency care themselves, including controlling severe bleeding, until rangers and ambulance services arrived approximately two hours later.
No effective use of basic safety equipment or emergency preparedness measures was observed.
These failures constitute, in our view, a serious breach of the duty of care expected of a licensed safari operator.
As a direct consequence of the incident:
The safari was terminated at the end of the first day, and services were not delivered (accommodation, meals, etc.).
Injured passengers required urgent medical treatment and were unable to continue travel. Therefore, it was not possible to travel the following day to reach an alternative accommodation.
Due to the remote location and late hour, we incurred unavoidable accommodation costs (USD $500 per room for the first night and $750 USD for the second night), in addition to medical and related expenses.
The police report contains material inaccuracies, including:
Incorrect date of the accident
Incorrect number of passengers
Mischaracterization of injuries as "minor"
Passenger statements were not collected, and the report appears to rely solely on the driver's account
These issues raise concerns regarding accuracy, transparency, and proper incident documentation.
So be aware of this incident before booking a safari tour with Greg Adventures.
