Incredible Kenyan Safari experience
My daughter and I have just completed an 8 day private Kenyan Safari and we couldn’t recommend Morningstar Tours and Travel as a Kenyan Safari provider highly enough!
Alice was our first contact with the Company and was super efficient in providing a suggested itinerary and quote. She made some minor adjustments for us and the final product was wonderful - visiting 5 different parks over the 8 days: Amboseli NP, Lake Naivasha, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara.
Rono was our guide-driver for the 8 day Safari and we couldn’t have asked for a better person for the job! He was a safe driver, his vehicle was immaculate and extremely comfortable, his knowledge about his country, its wildlife and its flora, was incredible - and he was great company!
Whilst in Nairobi, Rono also introduced us to the team behind the scenes and it was wonderful to meet the local team that all work tirelessly to ensure everyone’s experience is the best possible.
All in all, there was nothing to fault and we would highly recommend Morningstar Tours and Travel to others seeking a high quality Kenyan Safari experience.

Phenomenal experience
We had a fantastic experience with Morning Star. To start with, communication and booking with Dennis could not have been made easier, he listened to our needs and he was able to accommodate personalisations to our itinerary. When our driver, Willy arrived to collect us from the hotel, we clicked immediately. Willy is kind, considerate, professional and really funny. However what really stands out is how Willy has SO much safari knowledge including different routes and facts about different animals. Just one example was when we were in Amboseli, he said "let's wait here because often elephants cross here about this time". 5 minutes later he was right, a whole herd crossed right in front of us! We truly had such a wonderful experience and we are so grateful to Morning Star, Dennis and Willy for doing everything to give us the best possible experience.

Amazing tour with amazing employees.
We were considering travelling to Kenya and Tanzania, and choosing Morningstar Tours was honestly one of the best decisions we made. I truly believe they are among the best in their field.
From the very beginning, they answered all our questions thoroughly and clearly explained every step of the journey. From the first minute until the very end of our trip, everything was carefully planned according to our wishes.
The guides were absolutely amazing. In Kenya, Willy was our guide, and he was fantastic. He clearly knows what he is doing, was extremely professional, and was also such a kind and pleasant person.
In Tanzania, our guide Jackson took things to another level. He seemed to do the impossible to help us experience and truly feel the real Africa, always while respecting nature and the animals. He is warm, positive, incredibly knowledgeable, and one of the best professionals I have ever encountered in this field.
Jackson knew all the little details and tricks about where and how to find different animals without disturbing them. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were able to have some truly unforgettable experiences.
My family and I deeply enjoyed our entire trip, and I can honestly say that Jackson played a huge part in making it as wonderful as it was.
If you are considering a trip to Kenya or Tanzania, I wholeheartedly recommend Morningstar Tours. You will be in excellent hands!

Amazing and unforgettable experience
Our Kenyan safari through the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and more was a flawless five-star experience from start to finish. From the initial planning stages, the agency crafted a completely personalized itinerary tailored to our exact wishes, seamlessly coordinating every detail so we could simply focus on taking in the awe-inspiring wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.
Every day brought thrilling game drives, stunning lodges with panoramic bush views, and unforgettable moments, but what truly set this trip apart was the people. The staff and guides welcomed us with extraordinary warmth, while the agency’s thoughtful, hands-on touch made us feel genuinely cared for every step of the way. Unreservedly five stars!

Great tour operator! Great service! Everything was just great!
This was the best experience of my life! ❤️ Everything went smoothly from the day I contacted Morning Star until the very last day of our safari.
We had amazing guides in both Kenya (Willy) and Tanzania (Jackson), and they truly made our experience unforgettable! 🦁🐆
I would definitely recommend Willy as a guide in Kenya. He knows exactly how to make your safari even more adventurous and dynamic, while being incredibly easygoing and fun to be around. Our time with him was unforgettable, and you will be very lucky to have him as your guide in Kenya!
For Tanzania, the best person you could possibly have as a guide is definitely Jackson! He is simply amazing! 🦁❤️
You can truly see how much he loves his job, and thanks to him, we experienced some breathtaking moments that we most probably wouldn’t have had with anyone else. Jackson is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does.
I genuinely believe he is the best guide you could have in Tanzania! 🇹🇿Go team Jackson!
Thank you, Morning Star, Jackson and Willy, for an absolutely incredible experience! ❤️🇰🇪🇹🇿

Exceptional service and great experience from start to finish!
We began exploring safari tour options about 8 months before we planned to travel. We got quotes from several different tour operators through SafariBookings.com, and we decided to choose Morning Star Tours & Travel because we really appreciated the professional and thorough communication we received with a detailed itinerary and clear cost breakdown - plus responses from Dennis were always very prompt!
Communication from the time of booking until our travel was also excellent. We had to change a few accommodations due to originals being fully booked, but that was no problem, and we ended up in fantastic places, with a mix of safari camps to lodges and resorts, but we appreciated having an option to choose.
Once we started our safari, our guide, Stephen, was a true professional and expert, sharing great facts on the wildlife and Kenyan culture during trips from one park to another and on our game drives. And he was always thorough and professional in answering our many questions, no matter how simple they might have been. While in the parks, Stephen knew how to navigate every square inch, and we were able to see some incredible animals, views, and landscapes! He was quick to spot different wildlife that we didn't even see, and gave us a brief description of each animal, which was a bonus! He was also a great driver in navigating the busy roads, and we always felt safe and secure.
If you're trying to decide which company to book your safari through, and our experience can be of any help, know that you'll be in good hands with Morning Star.

Professional and reliable team!
We greatly enjoyed our private tour with Morning Star. Communication with our consultant, Alice, was smooth, responsive, and professional from the very beginning. Our trip with our guide, Timothy, exceeded all our expectations. He was exceptional at spotting animals and had great understanding of their behaviour, often anticipating where they would go next. The trip was truly magical and we thank you for the amazing experience we had!

Exceptionally well organized, incredibly patient and responsive tour operator and outstanding guide
From start to finish, our experience with Morningstar Safaris was exceptional. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and our six-day safari through the North and Central Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater exceeded all of our expectations.
Alice, our tour operator, was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to understand our travel style and budget and created an itinerary that was perfect for us. Throughout the planning process, she was patient, responsive, and always happy to answer our questions about the itinerary and lodging options. During our 11-night trip through Tanzania—including Arusha, Safari, and Zanzibar—she checked in regularly and even resolved a minor accommodation issue for us quickly and seamlessly.
Jackson, our safari guide, was equally outstanding. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and birdlife was exceptional, and his expertise made every game drive unforgettable. Thanks to his determination, we were able to see and photograph an incredible variety of animals in their natural habitat, including black rhinos, cheetahs, and leopards. Time and again, just when we thought we would miss seeing an animal, Jackson somehow managed to find it.
What impressed us most was how Jackson went above and beyond when our independently booked flight to Zanzibar was unexpectedly delayed by five hours. Although it wasn't his responsibility, he helped us secure an earlier flight, saving the rest of our trip.
We highly recommend Morning Star Tours & Travel, especially Alice and Jackson. Their dedication, expertise, and exceptional service turned an incredible safari into a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we would gladly travel with them again.
