Smooth, efficient, and friendly
5/5

Very good experience with Morning Star. Joy helped answer lots of questions and tweaked our itinerary multiple times patiently before we finally decided on doing a mix of Naivasha, Amboseli, and Masai Mara over 7 days. We had John as our driver and tour guide for the entire trip, and he was amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. John understood our preferences quickly and made suggestions and tweaks to cater to our needs. We got lucky with tons and tons of animal viewings and behaviors (wildebeest chasing away Cheetahs for e.g.!) and John also went out of his way to help and try to find rare animal sightings. Though we couldn't see the rare Rhino, it was amazing to see John go out of his way and put in almost 10 hours of driving trying to find this elusive creature! All in all a terrific trip!

Great! A seamless safari experience, highly recommended!
5/5

I recently traveled solo with Morning Star Safari on a scouting trip through Kenya, with the goal of identifying new locations for the photographic safaris I lead professionally. I came back genuinely impressed on every level.

From the first exchange, Joysharon was sharp and responsive. Nothing fell through the cracks.

My guide and driver James was the real highlight. Exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about the wildlife and ecosystems we were moving through. Traveling solo with a specific target list of species, I needed someone who understood what I was after, and James delivered. We ticked off an impressive range of animals across Buffalo Springs and Samburu National Parks, which genuinely surprised me with their diversity and the quality of sightings. A very different feel from the more well-known circuits, and well worth the detour.
We closed the trip with a night at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a great way to break the drive back and end on a high note with the Black and White rhinos. And when my flight was delayed, James made the most of it with a visit to Nairobi National Park, which turned out to be a worthwhile bonus stop.

As someone who scouts destinations professionally before bringing guests, I leave with full confidence recommending Morning Star Safari. I'll absolutely work with them again.

Augustine our tour guide was absolutely amazing. Charistmatic, knowledgeable, and fun. I miss him.
5/5

Overall, an incredible journey. I am still shocked at the moments I had and pictures I have. Would recommend this trip with this company and Augustine 10 out of 10 times.

A Dream Safari in Kenya – Exceptional Service from Start to Finish
5/5

We have just finished an amazing 8-day honeymoon safari with Morning Star, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Before the trip even started, Beryl made everything so easy. She was always quick to reply, answered all our questions, adapted the itinerary to our preferences and schedule, and gave us different options to make sure we got exactly the trip we wanted. Planning a safari from abroad can feel overwhelming, but thanks to her, everything was smooth from the beginning.

Our safari included Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and a day in Nairobi. The whole itinerary was fantastic, and somehow every day managed to be even better than the one before.

The wildlife exceeded all our expectations. By the third day we had already seen the Big Five, which we never imagined would happen so quickly. During the week we saw four leopards, two cheetahs and several lion prides. We actually counted almost 30 lions throughout the trip! Every game drive felt different and exciting, and there was always something new to see.

The biggest reason why this trip was so special was our guide, Masila. He was simply excellent. Time after time, he seemed to know exactly where to go and somehow always got us into the best positions for sightings. His knowledge of wildlife is incredible — not only the big animals, but also birds and all the smaller details that we would have completely missed on our own. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does.

A special highlight was Amboseli, which isn’t included in every safari itinerary and ended up being one of our favourite parks. You could immediately tell how much Masila loves this place — he seemed to know every corner of it, which made the experience even more special. The landscapes, wildlife and views of Kilimanjaro were simply spectacular, and thanks to his expertise we got the most out of every moment there.

He also taught us a lot about Kenya, its culture and traditions, always with a great sense of humour. Throughout the whole trip he was friendly, professional, punctual, patient and always willing to help.

What impressed us most is that everything ran perfectly for eight days straight. With all the transfers, park visits and activities involved, that’s not something we take for granted.

This was our honeymoon, and it gave us memories that will stay with us forever. A huge thank you to Beryl and especially to Masila for making it such a special trip.

We would recommend Morning Star without hesitation to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Reliable, Transparent, Trustworthy and Seamless execution
5/5

Our experience with Morning Star has been amazing throughout. We have enquired with a few tour operators for a private safari and decided to go ahead with Morning Star because of their transparency. Their quote had a clear breakup of the costs which made it easy for us to finalise the itinerary.

Doreen was our go-to-person right from the very start. She was very patient in answering our queries and put together a great itinerary for us. She customised it whenever we needed any changes. Her suggestions and inputs were quite good. She is quite organised and was continuously checking on us every night of the trip asking how we enjoyed that day.

Special mention to James who was our tour guide. He was like the guardian during our 5-day trip. He is kind and funny. I needed a SIM card but they were accepting only a local id. James helped us get the sim by registering the sim on his name. He has superb knowledge about the safari and the region in general. We had some nice conversations on various topics. He is quite punctual and was always ready to leave on time. He has a good taste in music and was our in-house DJ during our long drives.

The accommodation options suggested were quite comfortable and the properties we finalised turned out to be quite good. It was nice of Doreen to get us an upgrade of the property at Masai Mara.

Overall it has been a pleasant experience for us with Morning Star and we truly recommend their services.
