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.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure with an Amazing Guide
We spent eight unforgettable days with Morning Star Tours & Travel exploring Kenya’s stunning national parks – Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo West & East. Our driver and guide Augustine was absolutely outstanding – knowledgeable, patient, funny, and always making sure we had the best experience possible. Thanks to him, we saw incredible wildlife, learned so much about Kenya, and truly fell in love with this beautiful country. Everything was perfectly organized, reliable, and worth every cent. One of the best travel experiences of our lives!
Asante sana, Augustine – you made our safari unforgettable!

A reliable way to travel through Namibia!
Morning-Star Tours and Safaris - Namibia is one of the most stunning countries in Africa, and it's best to experience it with someone who knows the country well. I was lucky enough to be introduced to Eddy from Morning Star before landing in Windhoek. Even during the arrival transfer, his friendliness and care won us over, and later on our trip to Sossusvlei, with Herman, assigned by Eddy to guide us, it became clear that the company, in addition to its commitment to punctuality, reliability, and customer comfort, conveys the warmth and excellent hospitality of the Namibian people. We will return and once again use Morning Star's services. I highly recommend them.

Once in a Lifetime Safari Experience
Our trip with Morningstar was absolutely amazing!
We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and managed to see all of the Big Five, plus the Ugly Five!
A huge thanks to our guide David, who went above and beyond throughout the journey. He planned our schedule perfectly, knew every park and animal’s habits so well, and had incredible “eagle eyes” to spot animals from far away.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Great organisation and itinerary
Really great experience from start to finish. Excellent organisation and communication from Joy both when we booked and whilst on our safari. Our driver, Tim, was a great driver and had good knowledge of the animals. He spotted animals in the distance which we hadn’t! We were fortunate to see the Big 5. This has been an incredible holiday and we would really recommend Morning Star to book a safari through.

Highly recommended, excellent company
We loved our safari with Morning Star. They were really helpful with producing an itinerary based on our preferences, and always responded quickly to our emails. Our two drivers, John and Tim, were both fantastic and really elevated our trip. After a mix-up caused us to miss lunch one day, Morning Star refunded us the cost. Highly recommended.

Best of Keys 8 days Safari
This safari was our 25th anniversary celebration. Being our first time on safari we didn’t know what to expect. We were very pleasantly impressed. Our guide/driver James played a big part in the overall rating. James was pleasant, friendly, professional and also very funny. We thoroughly enjoyed the 8 days and planning to make a trip back soon.
