Stunning, was in tears leaving
Simple headline is Morning Star was brilliant and the trio was magical. But that doesn’t do it or them justice.
This was magical. A spur of the moment trip we booked in new year for that February. We went through a few dates with them and time spans before we found the date a month that worked. They were so helpful throughout and constantly on what’s app when we had questions.
The trip had 4 locations, I was sceptical of it, but they have honed down what works and how to pack the days so you see and do so much. From elephants right up to the Jeep in Amboseli, to the walking safari where you can possibly touch a wild ostrich, to black and white rhinos in Ukuri, and finishing in the Masi to see the big cats. Morning Star crafted it perfectly.
They also are flexible to your needs, times and dates and really good value. We looked at UK companies but it would have been fixed dates that didn’t quite work, shared transports and shared safaris. What WE got was a cheaper trip with a fully custom itinerary, private safaris and our own driver for the entire trip.
That bit is key as you build up a repor with them and they can craft where they go to what you want. Augustine was brilliant, and he was very friendly with most other drivers, which is a GOOD thing. It means they stop and share tips on what they’ve seen and where they are so you can see what you want!!
Because of that, we found a cheetah right up next to the road, and had 45 minutes of bliss watching it. He found out about a pack of 5 male lions, and we were right up close. Finally, he got that elusive leopard, hiding under the tree eating its dinner. All because he knows so many of the guides and they share tips.
We loved it and can’t wait to be back.
A fantastic week seeing the best of Kenya's wildlife
For our first trip to Africa and our first ever safari, we were a little apprehensive that it wasn't going to live up to expectations. However, we need not have worried as Morningstar Tours ensured we had a fantastic experience!
JoySharon was very easy to communicate with via email from the outset, adapting the itinerary to best fit with what we wanted to do and see, and was always quick to respond to any queries we had. We were met at the airport by our guide Alex who whisked us straight off to the Masai Mara and the adventure began.
For the entirety of our trip, all of our hotels/lodges were brilliant with outstanding rooms, tasty food and welcoming staff. Check-ins were seamless which was reflective of the arrangements made by Morningstar in advance.
The wildlife game drives were everything we could have hoped for. The jeep was comfortable on the long drives and great for watching the animals via the pop-up roof (we were personally glad to do a private safari as it meant we could fully relax in the jeep!). Our guide Alex was always happy to answer any questions we had, shared his perspectives on life in Kenya and had a knack for finding the best spot for a photo opportunity.
We wish we could have stayed in Kenya longer and cannot wait to return one day to do another safari (we would definitely book with Morningstar again!).
Would highly recommend to anyone considering booking with this company. You are in safe hands with JoySharon and Alex!
Amazing Safari Through Kenya and Tanzania
Myself and two friends booked a 7-day safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Morningstar. From the very beginning, Alice was an incredible communicator. We received three quotes from three different vendors and Morningstar not only gave us the best price for the "biggest bang for our buck," but provided us with a full itinerary within 24 hours. We made a couple of changes and Alice was able to make them quickly. Payment was easy and we were able to break it into payments and each of us were able to pay our portions separately.
Tim was our tour guide in Kenya. He always made sure we had plenty of time with the animals to get the best photos. The hotels/lodges were great. Jackson was our guide in Tanzania. He was incredible and was constantly sharing information about the park and various animals. We saw SOOO many lions. My mind was blown on how many we saw. The weather was great. We LOVED our tented camps in Tanzania. Both Tim and Jackson were great drivers and the company Land Cruisers were comfortable and well maintained. We will 100% use Morningstar again in the future.
Great safari in Nakuru and Maasai Mara
Wonderful tour. Highly recommend it. Our driver, Stephen, was great. Had never heard of Nakuru Nat. Park. But so glad we went. The bird-life was amazing. Maasai Mara was not as busy as I thought it would be. The temperature was pleasant. Recent rains had made the park very green. Our accommodation there (Entim) had a stunning view of the river. Food and staff were wonderful.
Truly memorable Kenya safari by Morning Star
Thank you to Morning Star for a fantastic safari trip. To Winnie for organising our itinerary. The proposal impressed me, it was not just an email with ideas but a professional document. To John our Guide/Driver for making sure that we saw every animal we would ever expect to see - not just the big 5 but all the other animals and birds we managed to see.
We were met at the airport by one of the Morning Star guides and dropped at our hotel. The next day John picked us up from our Nairobi hotel and our adventure began. We spent 3 days and nights in the Mara where we saw cheetah, leopard, rhino, lots of elephants, zebra, lions and cubs and more lions, giraffe. Our camp was the Zebra Valley which was placed such that we could watch the animals across from the camp.
Then we went to Lake Nakuru and saw even more animals, more rhino.
One day later on to Lake Naivasha and the Sopa Lodge which was lovely. Morning star had arranged a guide and boat trip out to the island to see birds animals.
A day later and on to Amboselli and the lovely Kibo Safari camp (my favourite stay), Here we saw elephants all trooping down to the Marsh and got the most fantastic photos.
John always made sure he not only got us to the animals but he placed the truck so that we got the good shots and was happy to wait until we were happy to move on.
Thank you both and to all the team at Morning Star
