Morning Star made our Kenya adventure absolutely perfect!
We had an amazing experience with Morning Star!
From start to finish, Alice was amazing — super helpful, quick to reply, and really made the whole planning process so easy. We’re so grateful for her help!
Our driver and safari guide, James, was absolutely amazing. He has an incredible eye for spotting animals and always managed to position the car perfectly so we could see them from the best angles. The biggest surprise was on our very first safari drive — we actually witnessed two cheetahs fighting! It was such an unforgettable moment.
Everything went perfectly. Highly recommend Morning Star to anyone visiting Kenya!

The most amazing adventure
Thanks to Alice for making such a perfect plan for our trip, we’ve really enjoyed the whole journey. Also our safari driver took a good care of us and showed us the big five in Africa with a lot of stories and knowledge. I am so satisfied with this perfect adventure that I definitely wanna come back again with Morningstar, for sure: )

Alice was great! She was very fast in responding and solving any problem.
Value for your money , this is how I would describe this safari .
The whole program was excellently organized so that we would have a full safari experience .
Apart from the great program our driver guide Mr Tim was the best part !
His 20 years of experience showed up even in the beginning of the trip .
Efficient and more than sufficient .
He knew all the best spots in the parks and his driving skills gave our trip the extra spark , making it like a Hollywood movie .
If you can ask for him , and believe me he will not disappoint .

An unforgettable experience
The overall trip was an amazing experience to remember. The cost of the safari provided is really reasonable and our tour operator - Alice was always accommodating. The communication was very good and she even upgraded the hotel we stayed the last 2 nights. As for our guide/driver Timothy I don't have enough good words to say about him. A very capable and professional guide with lots of experience on safaris and quick witted enough to get us to the right places at the right times in order to elevate our experience. All the while having the knowledge to respond to our many questions and being cheeky enough of a driver to save us many hours in traffic. This trip wouldn't be the same without him. Would recommend this trip 100%.

Excellent
Our Safari trip with the Morning Star tours was such a unique experience. Both Alice (the tour operator) and Timo (our guide driver) were amazing. The entire trip was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. Everything ran smoothly and on time, and we truly appreciated how well-planned every detail was. Timo, our safari driver, was outstanding — incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. He knew exactly where to go for the best wildlife sightings, and thanks to his expertise, we managed to see all of the Big Five up close! His passion for nature and the animals made the experience even more special. Alice was also fantastic — always kind, professional, and quick to respond to any questions we had before and during the trip. Her communication made us feel fully supported the entire time. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure filled with breathtaking moments and amazing people. I would highly recommend this safari experience to anyone looking for a well-organized, exciting, and truly memorable journey!

The tour operator (Alice) was really helpful and accomodating.
Our Safari trip with the Morning Star tours was such a unique experience. Both Alice (the tour operator) and Timo (our guide driver) were amazing. They gave us a lot of information and arranged the whole trip almost perfectly. Everything was really organized and well scheduled. Timo is a really experienced Safari driver. He knew all the good spots for animal watching. We didn't miss a single one of the Big Five thanks to him. Alice was also very kind. We were in contact during the whole tour, answering super fast all the questions we might had. All in all it was an incredible adventure and I recommend it!

Fabulous Safari in Kenya - Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Park
From the moment Morningstar replied to my initial query I knew I was in safe hands. Alice provided me with a very professionally made proposal which clearly listed out the costs and itinerary. She answered all of my questions and queries (of which there were many) quickly and put my mind at ease. She was able to tweak the itinerary when I said we'd like to end our holiday at Diani Beach and suggested the train from Emali to Mombasa and booked us a taxi at the other end. This saved us hours of travel time and so glad she suggested it.
Once on safari Julius was our guide. He was brilliant and without him I don't think we'd have seen any animals! We saw loads of lions in the Maasai Mara, 12 rhino's in Lake Nakuru and elephants as far as the eye could see in Amboseli Park - he just knew where to take us. He answered all the questions we had, never rushed us when we were looking at something particularly exciting (in my case elephants), was always on time and made the whole safari fabulous.
Morningstar also upgraded our accommodation in the Maasai Mara which was a complete surprise and I can't thank them enough for this. It was absolutely beautiful.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Morningstar for your safari in Kenya.

An unforgettable adventure of a life time
My wife and I just finished a 10-day private safari in Kenya - and were stunned by the amazing diversity of the animals and beauty of the various national parks. Dennis was our tour consultant and we selected Morningstar based upon the prompt and detailed price quotations he provided and the ratings on SafariBookings. He adjusted the itinerary based upon our selected parks, Nairobi - Amboseli - Naivasha - Ol Pejeta - Samburu - Nakuru - Masai Mara. Overall, the itinerary was organized very well, good accommodations and included airport transfers. Thanks Dennis.
As to the parks themselves, they were even better than our expectations. From the views of Mt Kilimanjaro, elephant herds of Amboseli, the beauty of Naivasha, special 5 of Samburu, flamingos of Nakuru to the unique vistas of Masai Mara with the big 5 - unforgettable moments.
James was our guide for the trip. He is very knowledgeable about all the parks and wildlife, highly skilled in spotting different animals, and turned out to be a photography enthusiast who offered to take photos with the long lens from driver seat. He surely has an eye for taking great photos and certainly helped capture some moments that otherwise would not have been possible. Thank you James.
We ended up giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to certain aspects that Dennis and James could have done better. Given the road conditions and traffic, anticipated transit times between parks was too optimistic, would have appreciated advice to reduce some parks. James should have checked that the Land Cruiser sliding windows could be easily opened and showed us how to operate them on day 1 so that photos could have been taken easily without having to climb up on seats and take from the open top only. He should also have been punctual on pickups, not spend inordinate amount of time on phone during game drives and should have gotten our agreement to any changes to daily activities specified in the itinerary with us.
Overall, we had an unforgettable experience and would recommend Morningstar.
