Amazing
First of all, the entire planning and booking process with Alice Mora was excellent. She was always attentive to our requests and went above and beyond to tailor every aspect of the tour to our preferences. Communication was consistently smooth and efficient, despite the significant time difference.
Our game drive driver and tour guide in the Masai Mara, Alex, is truly a legend. You can immediately tell how well-known and respected he is by everyone. He has an incredible knowledge of the terrain and a deep understanding of the animals' behavior. We were always in the best possible position for wildlife sightings, especially lions, and he even managed to find a leopard, which is known to be one of the most difficult animals to spot in the area.
Overall, the experience was a perfect 10 out of 10.

Impecable from start to finish
Alice Mora paid attention to every single detail and helped us create a trip that was perfectly tailored to us. She was always available to answer any questions and made us feel supported throughout the entire planning process and during the trip.
Alex was our driver from Nairobi to the Masai Mara and played a huge role in making this experience unforgettable. He knows the park like the back of his hand, and it’s clear that he’s highly respected by the other drivers. Thanks to his expertise, he always took us to the best spots to maximize our wildlife sightings. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He has an incredible eye for finding animals, was always respectful, punctual, proactive, and professional. On top of that, he took amazing photos for us, so we came home with incredible memories of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Incredible experience, professional driver and guide
We did the 7 day safari journey with morning star, our driver Gabriel was phenomenal. The days were very long and there was a bit of driving, but because of this we got to see so many different safari environments and so many species. Gabriel was incredible at both driving and spotting all animals. His knowledge of the land and species was excellent. We saw the big 5 and so much more, we were respectful to the wildlife and kept safe distances. This trip created some unforgettable memories for us. Morningstar were so organised with information, check in details and reminders about things like visas. They took care of all the lodge bookings, car hires, additional tours and we even go an upgrade for our first two nights. I would strongly recommend this tour group, we had the best time.

Our tour operator was the perfect mix of delight, knowledge and experience. Would choose him again.
After spending 5 days in Kenya, we have one regret only: not spending more days there. We were lucky enough to have seen it all: the big five, the angry five, elephants crossing in front of the Kilimanjaro, the wildbeest crossing the Mara river, black and white rhinos and lion cubs of all sizes just to name some of it. With the help of Beryl we were able to organize a trip where we had the opportunity to visit several parks and thinking back, we wouldn’t have skipped a single one of them.
James, our tourguide was a real pleasure to meet. Always there, always upbeat, trying to teach us about the culture, about the animals, giving us tips and answering all our questions, no matter how silly they were. One can tell, he does really enjoy what he is doing and he is doing it exceptionally good. If anyone asks for a recomendation in the future from us, no doubt we will tell them to go for Morningstar and specially, to ask for James! We are already wishing we could go back.

Great experience for Africa Safari
We had the pleasure of spending four days in Kenya with our guide, Tim, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations.
Tim was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about wildlife. His excellent tracking skills and deep understanding of animal behavior allowed us to see an amazing variety of wildlife, including the Big Five, along with many other unforgettable sightings. He always knew where to go while remaining respectful of the animals and other visitors.
Beyond his expertise, Tim was patient, friendly, and attentive throughout the trip. He made sure we were comfortable, answered all of our questions, and shared fascinating insights about Kenya’s wildlife, landscape, and culture. His enthusiasm made every game drive exciting and memorable.
Thanks to Tim, our safari became a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Kenya. If you’re fortunate enough to have Tim as your guide, you’re in excellent hands!
very good experience
experienced tour guide
See all big five
See cheetah hunting
Tim was very experienced and allowed us to see all the Big 5 animals.
Tim is an extremely experienced driver amongst the Masai Mara Park (20+ years of experience). He helped us find animals such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. His english is very good and there were no communication problems. He was also very patient and got the best view for each animals, allowing us to get some amazing photos. Tim also brings the luck because seeing leopards isn’t very common.

Outstanding Safari Experience – Joseph and Alex Were Simply Exceptional
Our family of four had an unforgettable safari in Kenya with Morningstar Tours & Travel. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, everything was organized smoothly and professionally.
The highlight of our trip was without question our guide, Joseph, together with Alex. They were absolutely outstanding. Joseph’s knowledge of wildlife, the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Kenyan culture was incredible. He had an amazing ability to spot animals that we never would have seen ourselves, and he always positioned the vehicle perfectly for photography. Thanks to him, we enjoyed unforgettable sightings, including cheetahs, lions, elephants, rhinos, and so much more.
Traveling with two children can be challenging, but Joseph was patient, kind, and wonderful with our kids. We always felt safe, well cared for, and never rushed. His calm personality, professionalism, and genuine passion for what he does made the entire experience truly special.
Alex was also fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Together they made a perfect team.
A special thank you as well to Beryl, who coordinated everything before and during our trip. Communication was excellent, and every detail was handled with care.
This was honestly one of the best family vacations we have ever taken. We are already planning to return next year, and we sincerely hope Joseph can be our guide again.
Thank you, Morningstar Tours & Travel, for memories our family will treasure for a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone visiting Kenya.

Outstanding service throughout—exceeded expectations and made this the best holiday ever
My husband and I booked our safari with Morning Star Tours & Travel as part of our honeymoon, and it exceeded every expectation we had.
A huge thank you to our driver and safari guide, Julius, who was absolutely incredible and now a dear friend. His knowledge of the animals, their behaviour, and the ecosystem was outstanding. Thanks to his expertise, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five within just three game drives. What made the experience even more special was that Julius never revealed what information he was receiving over the radio. Instead, he would quietly drive us to the location and surprise us with each sighting, which made every encounter feel magical.
We were lucky enough to witness some truly unforgettable moments, including a leopard resting in a tree with its kill and lion cubs that were only a few weeks old. These are memories that will stay with us forever.
We’d also like to give a special shoutout to Winnie, our tour consultant, who has been fantastic from the very beginning. Since we first booked in November 2025, she has been incredibly responsive, helpful, and patient. She provided us with numerous itinerary options, was always happy to accommodate any changes, even at short notice, and answer my many questions throughout planning the safari! Winnie really has made the whole process so easy and stress free.
We loved our safari experience so much that we ended up extending our safari by booking an additional three-day safari with Morning Star and specifically requested Julius again as our guide. That alone speaks volumes about how exceptional our experience was.
We are so glad we chose Morning Star Tours & Travel. They have given us the trip of a lifetime, and we will always be grateful for the memories they helped create. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
