Personalized and Trustworthy Experience!
They are very flexible and can take you wherever you'd like. They handled all hotel and camp transfers. We felt safe the whole time. Their pricing was reasonable compared to other companies and they can work with you on price. We had an 8 person vehicle and private driver for just the two of us. Our favorite camp was Nykani. Our drivers were nice and informative. Alice did a great job communicating with us on what we wanted. Our expectations were met as far as service and quality. Alice's communication before, during, and after the safari made this review 5 stars because she made sure we were well taken care of during our safari.

Fantastic,Fascinating, Relaxing Thrilling wild Experience
Honeymoon Anniversary
Morning Star gave us a deal and experience worth to remember befitting our 6th Honeymoon celebration. Special thanks to our tour guide James who drove us right from our doorstep into the Maasai Mara. Excellent Servuce by James very professional and key to detail. We appreciate that we were able to sight all animals in the park a scenic Thrilling experience. Zebra plains camp is a cool place to be. Thanks Morning Star for the Maasai Dance and Gifts for our anniversary.
James was a cool guy that he turned out a Friend. Would always like him as a guide in my future Safaris.

Perfect
We had an amazing safari experience in Kenya with Morning Star. Our guide, John, was outstanding from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and always knew where to take us so we could see the animals up close. Thanks to him, we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and many more. He made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. The organization by Morning Star was smooth and professional, and everything went perfectly. We are very grateful for this unforgettable adventure and highly recommend both Morning Star and John.

Professional, Reliable & Truly Exceptional
Their communication was impeccable from start to finish. They shared a well-planned itinerary in advance, which made it easy for us to prepare and know exactly what to expect. Every update was timely, clear, and thorough..no guesswork, no follow-ups needed. Just smooth, professional coordination.
They kept time to the core; every pickup, every drive, every schedule item was executed with precision. They also ensured we followed the itinerary exactly as planned, without rushing us or causing any delays. Their commitment to time and structure made the trip smooth and completely stress-free.
The service was top-tier. James, our guide, was exceptional, knowledgeable, warm, patient, and deeply passionate about the Mara. He gave us a safe, seamless, and enriching safari experience. We saw 4 of the Big Five and even the notorious Ugly 5. We enjoyed breathtaking sunsets and experienced the serenity of the Mara River. The journey was beautifully curated, and the entire experience surpassed my expectations.
From the scenic road trip to the expertly guided game drives and the seamless coordination with Zebra Plains Camp, we truly received value for money. Every part of the experience felt intentional and worth it.
Morning Star Tours & Travel is, without a doubt, a highly professional, reliable, and client-focused agency. We highly recommend them for an unforgettable experience!

Amazing service from start to finish
We had an amazing trip to Kenya - everything was really well organised by Dennis who made the whole process completely stress free! Communication was great throughout and he answered any questions we had straight away.
Our safari guide James was absolutely brilliant - fun, knowledgeable and just a great person to be around. He also took some amazing photos for us!
Kenya itself was beautiful and everywhere we stayed was great. Hopefully we can come back one day and would certainly book with Morning star again!

I was delighted with the service from Morning Star Tours & Travel
I thought it about time to thank you for your organisation and your selection for our itinerary in our recent safari & beach holiday.
The organisation and your communication were excellent - and 'third parties' were always punctual
I was delighted with the accommodation in all the lodges you selected and the beach hotel
the only thing I would change, would be to stay an extra (do nothing) day at the beach. Bouncing around in a jeep gets tiring after a few days!
our guide, Mwololo, was a great success; he was knowledgable, informative and, approachable but other than spotting animals & birds, did not try take over the conversation
Pete is a very keen bird watcher - and Mwololo was just as outstanding with his knowledge and identification
if any of us were to repeat a trip to Kenya with Morningstar, we would probably put in a request for Mwololo as our guide
one thing is certain, I would definitely contact Morningstar immediately (I have already passed on you details to friends).
Many thanks for your support and patience.
All the best

Wonderful 7 day safari
Morning Star made the entire safari feel effortless and genuinely enjoyable. From the first message, everything was handled smoothly, with no stress or last-minute surprises. The team created an atmosphere of trust and comfort, which made it easy to fully enjoy each day. Our guide added a personal touch to the experience, turning simple sightings into meaningful moments. The pace felt natural, never rushed, and the whole trip had a warm, well-coordinated flow. It was the kind of service that lets you relax and simply take in the beauty around you. I left feeling grateful for how well everything was managed and would gladly choose Morning Star again.

Perfectly organised safari
I contacted a few Kenyan travel agencies based on their earlier reviews. Morning Star came out best: their offer was clear and they had obviously listened to what I wanted. During my stay in Kenya, Doreen at the office checked up on me on a regular basis which was nice and considerate.
Now what to say about Julius, my guide/driver? He is a knowledgeable, attentive and humerous guy who made sure I saw so many animals up close! His love for his country and its wildlife was infectuous.
Together Doreen and Julius made sure my trip was the stuff of dreams. Would I recommend Morning Star? Absolutely 100%!

Fantastic experience with Morningstar and Safari guide, James !
My wife and I went on a 2 week safari with Morningstar in Kenya and it was incredible. Our consultant, Dennis, helped to create a great itenary that was tailored to the experiences we wanted and it was superbly put together. James was a very fun , energetic , knowledgeable and friendly Safari guide and we were genuinely sad to say goodbye to him at the end of the trip. We can't fault this company at all. They helped make our trip memorable and special so thank you!!

Morning Star is the GOAT!
As the title says, Morning Star tours is the Greatest Of All Time! From the time of first contact, Doreen was available to answer my many questions by email or WhatsApp. She made great suggestions and she ended up tailoring the tour to our liking in terms of pick time and location, places to visit, accommodation choice, number and timing of game walks and game drives and other little add-ons we requested.
Our guide, Stephen Mwolo was a gentleman. He is another GOAT. He was always punctual, polite, knowledgeable, patient, flexible with the schedule and has eyes for animals like an eagle! Within 24hrs at Masai Mari he found us a fresh lion kill, a cheetah, a leopard and of course the more common antelopes, warthogs, rhinos, crocodiles, ostriches, hyenas, etc. He was listening in on the VHF radio in our land cruiser and making a beeline for the current highlights of the park. We learnt about his Bantu culture but he knows pretty much everything about the Masai people, statistics about the park, and detailed information about every animal and bird that we saw along the way.
Overall the 4 day/3 night tour far exceeded our expectations. I compared the pricing with 5 companies with almost identical itineraries and Morning Star excelled in price, responsiveness and flexibility. I couldn’t be happier with our choice of tour company. To top it off, Doreen would check in on us by WhatsApp at the end of each day making sure things went smoothly and we were entirely satisfied with their service. I call her my vacation mom! She is the female GOAT!
If we ever have the opportunity to come back to safari in Kenya we will definitely be going with Morning Star. They made us feel like family.
