Unforgettable experience
We had a great safari experience in Kenya. Everything was well organized and on time. Our driver Julius was friendly, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. He really went the extra mile to make sure we had the best experience possible. Also cares about the wellbeing of the animals which was very important to us. We saw the Big5 and so much more. 10/10, would do it again.

Smooth sailing
Stephen from Morningstar went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable.
The car was comfy, but able to withstand the “African massage”, Stephen always punctual and ready to answer any silly questions we might have or provide insights. Ended learning quite a bit about
the animals as well as the life in Kenya.
Quite a bit of years of experience under his belt in game drives, thus we’ve managed to knock out the big five in the span of 6 days, having visited Amboseli, Nakuru and Maasai Mara!
Well recommended!

Best experience ever
It was one of the best experiences ever. We had so much fun!
Managed to see the big 5 and much more. Our guide Mwlolo (Stephen) was a very very experienced driver - he knew every road and destination by heart. He knew every park, every road and places where we could find animals! He went an extra mile to show us black rhino (they are very rare!!!) and leopard (very hard to find). It always depends on luck to see animals but he was not hesitant when he heard about them on the radio. Stopped everywhere we asked and told us a lot about animals, safari and Kenya in general. We could rely on him 100%.
The tour was shaped according to our desires. We did: Amboseli (2 nights), Nakuru (1 night) and Masai Mara (2 nights). Even though the ride from Amboseli to Nakuru was very long - it was definitely a good decision to have Masai Mara as the last destination so we could enjoy hot air ballon the last day!
Morning Star is an amazing company with very good communication and offer. They send you a quote with exact prices of each thing, so you can easily change accommodation to your budget and/or add activities.
Mwlolo (Stephen) is amazing, could not recommend enough!!!

An outstanding, punctual, and safe safari operator that delivers top service and great moments!
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience with Morningstar Tours. From day one, their organization, reliability, and punctuality were top-notch. They respected every detail of our planned itinerary while continuously delighting us with wonderful surprises along the way.
A huge, special thanks to our guide, Alex, whose expertise and sharp eyes made our game drives truly magical. Thanks to him, we witnessed incredible, once-in-a-lifetime moments: getting up close with lions, spotting a rare leopard, and even watching a lioness carry her prey across a river! We were also blessed to see a newborn topi and so many adorable baby animals, from giraffes to warthogs.
Customer service was clearly their top priority—we felt pampered, safe, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire journey. If you want a trustworthy safari operator that puts the client first and delivers an authentic, dream-like adventure, book with Morningstar Tours!

“They make sure every moment of the trip counts.
Our tour guide Willy was amazing! He was knowledgeable, spoke good English, and was also a very patient and reliable driver. Even with our long flight delay, he waited for us and welcomed us with a warm “Hakuna Matata,” which made us feel so much more at ease after the long journey.
He really went all out to make sure we got the most out of our trip. He made sure we saw all the animals we wanted to see, and even contacted other guides in his community to find the best spots for us to get good photos. And with the rough roads, we always felt safe with him driving.
Really grateful to have had him as our guide — he made the whole experience so much more enjoyable! 🦁❤️

Very responsive and flexible with all requests.
Denis was very responsive when organising the trip and amended the tour many times to suit our needs. He was easily contactable on WhatsApp and responded very quickly, the whole booking process was very easy.
Our tour guide was Alex, he made a good trip even better ! He is so attentive, always on time, extremely knowledgeable and always got the best spot for viewing and pictures, not just of the animals but of the landscape as well.
We saw all of the big 5 and ugly 5 and again this would be all thanks to Alex, he was always in communication finding the best encounters.
Alex also has a great sense of humour which made the trip even better especially when you spend a lot of time together in the Jeep.
The accommodations were amazing that are part of Morning Star but overall Alex made the entire experience and we are so happy he was our guide!
Better than we could have imagined
We had a fantastic experience with Morningstar. We had issues with our flight and lost time on our scheduled safari, but the team did everything they could to make sure we got to experience everything on our itinerary.
Our guide, Gabriel, went above and beyond to maximize our time on our trip. He worked hard and made sure we saw everything but we didn’t feel rushed at all. We learned more from him in a few days than we had on our entire 2 week trip in Africa! He was so nice, very funny and informative, always on time, and made sure our itinerary was exactly what we wanted (especially given the shortened trip). Having a good safari guide makes all the difference and we are very grateful we had Gabriel.
Amazing!
Our safari with Morningstar was fantastic from start to finish. The team is responsive, helpful, and incredibly kind. The booking process could not have gone smoother and the options we were given for safari tours and accommodations were fantastic!
The real highlight has been our guide, Gabriel. He has a wealth of knowledge that he happily shares and is incredibly kind. We saw everything we wanted to see and more, thanks to him. He can (and will) get you anywhere in your safari vehicle!!

An extraordinary experience with lasting memories
We felt well advised by Morning Star, both during the planning stages and throughout our trip. Our guide and driver was extremely knowledgeable and a very pleasant companion.
We also had a brief opportunity to meet the people at Morning Star who handle the work behind the scenes. We appreciate their approach of supporting local communities. Based on our experience, we can certainly recommend Morning Star with confidence.

The most incredible, funny and caring tour operator!
I had the absolute best time doing the Maasai Mara tour with James from Morning Star - he was very kind, funny and easy to talk to. He is also incredibly talented at his job and was able to drive in tough conditions very smoothly. His attention to detail is amazing and he was able to spot animals like the cheetah from soo far away! I felt to lucky to have seen sooo many animals during the tour, and it is all thanks to James - thank you so much :) I am going to recommend James and Morning Star to everyone and look forward to coming back and doing it again myself, with my family
