Late booking, marvelous service!
With slightly over one week to arrival I contacted Morningstar who managed to sort out an incredible itinerary for me exploring Masa Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboselli, and Tsavo East and West! I was first in touch with Wanja who did all of the organising and booking. She checked in on me several times during the 8 night, 9 day trip to make sure all was going well.
My driver/guide Willy was a marvel. He made the trip go so smoothly and had such great information and knowledge on the local animals, people and parks. I did manage to teach him one new thing when Kilimanjaro had its ‘hat on’ for the two days at Amboseli, yet was lovely and clear the morning we went out at Salt Lick Lodge (Tsavo East). I was convinced the mountain we could see was Kilimanjaro and as Willy had never seen it at that angle before he checked in with one of the local guides who confirmed my suspicions. This is what I loved! If Willy was unsure of any of my questions, and I had many, he’d check in with another guide to find out instead of just telling me something incorrect. However in saying that, there was not much he wasn’t aware of!
Being the wet season, the roads were a little bumpy and the distances were great but I had total confidence in Willy’s driving skills. I also got to meet the Morningstar team and their office and what a lovely group of people.
I recommend Morningstar without any hesitation. It’s customary to tip the driver but don’t forget the ladies in the office who do so much of the organising.
Thank you Morningstar for an experience of a lifetime.
P.s. still working through the cameras on my phone so most of these are from the iPhone.
Our guide was very nice I recommend 100%
I had a very nice time 100% recommended love the time I had there
Fantastic!
This trip was very last minute but luckily Morningstar Safari was able to pull through on such short notice and promised and delivered a trip of a lifetime! Special thanks to our guide, and friend, Alex Masila for his wonderful energy and informative guidance on our trip. We will definitely be back for more !
Excellent Masai Mara Safari
Everything about this safari exceeded our expectations. The Zebra Plains Mara Camp was delightful and all the staff were attentive and friendly. A special mention to Simon who looked after us for the 4 days. Our safari guide Rono was one of the best things about the trip. He was a great driver, very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed his company. We got very lucky with the animals we saw and I couldn’t recommend this safari highly enough.
Reliable operator with good 4X4 vehicles & excellent driver/guide
Going on a safari in Africa has been our dream for a long time. We approached several travel agencies in Kenya and Nairobi to request a few offers. After comparing the different options, choosing Morning Star for our safari was easy. Thank you, Dennis, for organizing our safari. We visited Amboseli, Aberdare, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara and experienced Kenya's diverse and beautiful nature and animals.
We began our journey at Amboseli National Park and stayed two nights at the cosy Kibo Lodge. The tents were spacious and clean, the food was delicious, and there were gluten-free options. The staff was friendly, and the views of Mount Kilimanjaro were epic. Kibo Lodge is close to the amazing Amboseli National Park.
From Amboseli to Aberdare, we sat in the car for several hours. Before our safari, we debated whether to skip the Ark Hotel and the mountain area due to the long distance. Luckily, we didn't, as the area was beautiful and different from other National Parks we visited. However, it's worth noting that the bus trip from Country Club to The Ark Hotel was more of a transportation than a game drive. Despite the need to update the rooms, The Ark is an old and charming hotel where we felt a sense of community.
The third stop was Lake Nakuru's National Park and the luxury Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge. The lodge staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The kitchen staff was exceptionally great and advised on gluten-free options. The buffet food selection was extensive and diverse. The garden was well-kept and large, and the pool area looked lovely. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to enjoy it. The lodge is inside the National Park, and our guide, James, spotted two female lions only a few hundred meters after the lodge gate.
Our last leg was the breathtaking Masai-Mara National Park. We stayed in Zebra Plains Mara Camp, a mid-range tent accommodation with friendly and caring staff. The food, also gluten-free, was very good, but the menu itself could have had some more options. Common areas are comfortable. The walk from the common areas to our tents was long but good exercise after sitting in a car most of the day. We liked listening to the sounds of the night: birds, hyenas, lions. The park was just in front of our eyes and ears.
Our guide and driver, James, made the experience incredible and unforgettable. He was always communicative and willing to answer our questions. He is an excellent and speedy driver who prioritizes safety on the road. He is also a good photographer and took many good photos for us. Thank you James!
