Perfect trip with Morning Star!
My wife and I started planning our trip to Kenya back in September. We contacted a number of travel agencies on safari.com and Joysharon from Morning star had the most clear and detailed itinerary and was willing and responded to any questions we had in a timely manner. Her attention to detail and efficiency was impressive. After receiving 5 price quotes from different companies and discussing different options. We decided that morning star had the best value for money plan.
Our safari was 1/24-1/31 and covered Nairobi, Masa Mara, Navashia Lake and Amboslie NP. Our Guide and driver Alex Masila is warm, enthusiastic and very experienced. He planned everything so that we not only enjoyed everything according to plan but it was also balanced so that we were fresh and engaged at all times. We saw all the big 5 and the accommodation especially Maisha Mara Camp were second to none.
I really recommend Mornings Star tours. Ask for Joy to plan your trip and Alex to be your driver with the new Safari 4X4. You won’t regret it.

Great safari, with amazing guides and camps
We loved travelling for our honeymoon with Morningstar. Dennis was great at communicating and helping me plan the best trip for our budget and timeline. Both our guides James (for Kenya) and Hassan (for Tanzania) were awesome, they knew so much about the parks and reserves and made sure we saw all the animals we could, including 3 leopards and over 60 lions during our trip!
The camps were amazing, with hot showers and even bath tubs in the middle of the Serengeti, delicious food and amazing views.

Top notch safari
I booked the safari with Northstar nine months in advance and throughout the run up appreciated the promptness of their feedback on queries and the easinesses of communication. The safari ant Amboseli itself was impeccably conducted by a very knowledgeable and forthcoming guide, and preceded by a pleasant informal introduction to Morningstar’ staff at their office. We managed to repeatedly encounter the big fives bar the elusive leopard and all the other creatures. The visit to the Masai village and school was both moving and memorable. The Tukai lodge where we stayed was the best accommodation we had over the entire trip, and the Masai night dance resonated deeply with us. On the return leg, thanks to Morningstar’s flexibility and cooperation we were able to add a Nairobi leg in the afternoon of the last day to visit the baby elephants, the animal orphanage and the National Park. An unforgettable experience with a highly professional organization and motivated staff. Highly recommended to discerning travellers wishing to dig deeper and learn lessons from their African experience.

A perfectly organized safari!
We did a thorough research before booking this safari but Morning Star made the difference from the beginning. From day one we felt safe thanks to the great communication we had with Dennis, who was always available to plan with us our dream safari.
The tour was exactly as planned, we had the chance to see everything we wanted and had so much fun. We went to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. All hotels were perfect, we stayed at Ol Tukai Lodge, Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge and Zebra Plains Mara.
Our guide Peter was always on time and he was super flexible and super eager to help us on anything that came up. We really appreciated his effort for us to see as many animals as we could while also providing many information for them. He was
Both Dennis and Peter were willing to go beyond to make sure that we were having the time of our lives.
A massive thank you to the Morning Star team! Highly recommended!

Both of our guides were extremely kind and very knowledgeable
Willie was our first guide. He was amazing driving our jeep on the dirt roads, holes in the ground, and through the water. He was very attentive to both of us. He made every effort for us to get to see as many animals as possible.
Haran was our second guide. He provided so much information on the animals and their habits. We were enthralled by his knowledge. No request was too much to ask of him because he was going to please.
I would recommend both of these guides to anyone thinking about a safari.

They are Efficient and communicative, flexible and meet your needs throughout the safari
From day one of contacting Alice at morningstarsafaris I received professional and amazing communication, the itinerary was beautifully set up, with Alice being so flexible and patient with my multiple changes and decision.
Thank you for organising our Safari, we have had a great time, we went to Amboseli, Tsavo West and East, Diani and Bamburi beach
When we returned to Nairobi we went to the David Sheldrick animal orphanage- this visit was thr best thing ever.
The Safari in Nairobi NP was special- we had not been yet. Now we have done all the major NP Safari in Kenya- with the help of Morningstar
Thank you.
Alex and James our driver guides have been great. On time and communicative, always willing to answer all questions.
Our drivers in Mombasa Dennis and Leonard were good.
ALICE has been the best- so approachable and communicative, I felt comfortable telling her my concerns and she sorted them out. If I were to do another Safari - I would
