Amazing safari trip with professional guide Thadey
Firstly thanks agent Norah for assisting me on this trip and arranging everything. This is an amazing safari trip completely beyond my expectations. I don’t have any professional equipments, any cameras, not even binoculars, all I have is an iPhone. But it turns out I’ve seen all the animals I love literally just next to my car within 2 meters. All credit goes to my professional safari guide - Thadey. He’s excellent at spotting any animals, especially my favourite big cats, lions, leopards and cheetahs. Everyday is full of surprises, cheetah hunting, a pride of lions including cubs enjoy buffalo, hyenas following us, and the most incredible moment is watching the great migration, wildebeests and zebra cross Mara river. I can’t ask more for this magical safari trip, appreciate a lot Thadey’s dedicated efforts and non-stop driving. Highly recommend Thadey, he will complete your dream.

Malaki Was the Guide Who Made My Serengeti Dream a Reality
We had six days with Malaki as our guide through Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, and I'll be back with Malaki as my guide.
From the airport pickup onward, Malaki felt like an old friend, handling every detail and special request we had seamlessly and with ease. I found out about Malaki through a friend who works at a 5 star luxury hotel chain in the USA; her colleagues all use Malaki Safaris when they vacation at the hotel chain's Serengeti location.
Malaki is an expert in wildlife and conservation and it was fascinating to talk to him about his guiding experience. He found the Big Five for us and he was just as thrilled as we were watching the wildlife. Malaki is kind, patient, easy going, knowledgeable, very professional, fun, and has fascinating stories about his guiding experiences, wildlife sightings, and the local Maasai culture. We learned a lot from Malaki and really enjoyed his company.
My trip to the Serengeti was my childhood dream, and Malaki made it entirely perfect. If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, ask for him, every detail will be perfection and you will be taken care of. I'm already looking forward to going back.

Highly Effective & Efficient
We had a great experience and got to see basically every animal we wanted to, even the elusive big cats (leopard, cheetah, lion). Our driver Timothy was amazing! He was such an experienced, efficient, effective driver, easily shaving off 30+ minutes when getting between national parks. He was a friendly guide and exceptionally knowledgeable about the best places to see all the animals. He was kind and accommodating. Would highly recommend.
If I had one constructive feedback, it would be that I'd hope the tour guide be more informative to tell us details and fun facts about where we're going and seeing, but we still had a fantastic time and I'd definitely still recommend Morningstar as well as our driver.

Trip of a lifetime. Just magical ✨️
So glad I booked my safari through Dallas. From the first interaction Dallas was prompt and clear with his communication. We started our research 8 months in advance, from day one until after the safari, Dallas kept in touch built a rapport and made me feel secure and confident about my plans. He provided guidance and support while I stayed in Arusha on my own as a single mother with my 2 children until rest of my family joined for the safari few days later. We had an amazing time. We saw all the animals including the big 5 on the first day. The Lodge we stayed in was so welcoming and comfortable. Hot air ballon was such a unique experience. Our transfer driver and safari driver were both so polite and professional. Dallas added his personal touch to visit us at our villa before the safari started as introduction and met us again once we were finished. Really made us feel like we mattered. Highly recommend Dallas for anyone looking to book a safari. In the future will book with Dallas for my safari in Kenya.

Surprising
Tanzania proved to be a welcoming country with abundant, spectacular wildlife. It boasts wonderful, world-class hotels and professional, well-organized safari companies (such as Lion King Adventures), making the experience much safer and more comfortable—allowing you to enjoy nature without worrying about the rest.

Amazing once in a lifetime experience! Martin was incredible and the team planned an unforgettable
We had an incredible safari with our family of five and would highly recommend this company and, especially, our guide Martin.
The wildlife was amazing, particularly getting so close to elephants. Staying inside the parks was another highlight—we could hear lions calling at night, with some only about a quarter mile away!
The hospitality at the lodges was fantastic, including the warm welcomes and singing when we arrived. Martin took care of everything, including lunches on game-drive days, and was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with our kids.
Our 5-year-old became so attached to Martin that by the end of the trip, he genuinely felt like part of our family. We’ve already recommended Martin and this company to a close friend and would gladly recommend them to any family planning a safari.

Incredible Kenya Safari experience
We had a fantastic trip with Morning Star tours, Alice was very responsive and accommodating to our requests. Our Guide/ driver Timothy made the experience worth it by giving us the best seat in town every time to get the best shots and experience, he was an amazing driver and got us to places in great time. He knew when the animals were lining up and would cross our path and took us to sightings in time.
One suggestion would be to give a 48 hour window between selecting the accommodation and making the initial 40% deposit, we unfortunately did not get some of the initially selected accommodations and were offered alternatives.

Excellent service, great follow up and wonderful driver/guide
We went on a 7-day Safari trip to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Nakuru, and Maasai Mara. Alice from MorningStar provided excellent service - very prompt and thorough follow ups, attention to detail and providing options as we had some date changes to be incorporated initially. Timothy was our driver-cum-guide and he is a very skillful driver and very knowledgeable about the various animals/birds, and knew exactly where to stop to capture the best views of the wildlife. We had an amazing experience during this trip and would highly recommend MorningStar Tours and Travels.

Amazing
Amazing tours with great guide! Myself and my wife did the Masai Mara tour and had were fortunate enough to get James as the guide. Everything was perfectly planned.
James was our guide, who picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi and took us everywhere. 100/10 guide with amazing positive energy and extensive knowledge of the area. In the short time of us doing the tour, we saw what sometimes takes several days to see (from lions, elephants, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes…etc). James was a great skilled driver with excellent communications skills and friendly attitude. I would highly recommend him - as it felt like speaking with a friend than just a guide.
The camp we stayed at (zebra plains) was also extremely well put together with great customer service.
Overall, the tour was great value for money and I will surely be recommending Morningstar to all friends + family going to Kenya!

Great safari team!
We had a great safari with the Adventure 360 team. As we were a family of 8 with lots of luggage, we ended up having 2 safari trucks and subsequently 2 wonderful driver / guides Dan and George who were lovely guys and had excellent eyes for camouflaged animals on our safari drives. The trucks were also very comfortable and the guides kept the inside clean between safaris despite how eternally dusty everywhere we went was so it was no small feat!
Brian in sales was also very helpful and friendly as we planned the trip together and kept in touch helping with a few misunderstandings (on the accommodation side) re our room configurations and everything worked out great! Would highly recommend Adventure 360 if you’re looking for a great time on your safari!
