Very professionell, well organized, fair prices.
We went to Amboseli, Nakuru and Masai Mara and had a wonderful experience in each park. Saw all of the Big Five and many other animals (5 cheetahs!!) . Our guide Augustine was the best guide we could have asked for - kind, funny and eyes like an eagle.
We have to come back someday to see the great migration with him!
Also big thanks to Alice, it was perfectly organized!

Unforgettable 5-Day Kenyan Safari with Exceptional Service!
Our 5-day safari in Kenya was an unforgettable adventure, thanks to this incredible company and their exceptional team. From the seamless booking process with Yvonne to the thrilling game drives led by our experienced driver, John, everything exceeded our expectations.
Pros:
Booking Experience: Yvonne was a pleasure to work with—responsive, friendly, and highly organized. She provided detailed information about the itinerary, accommodations, and what to expect, making the entire booking process stress-free.
Driver and Guide: John is a true professional and a master of his craft. His driving skills, especially on challenging roads, were impeccable, and his knowledge of wildlife and the terrain was extraordinary. He always ensured we had the best vantage points for animal sightings, allowing us to see the Big Five and other incredible moments up close.
Comfort and Safety: Despite the adventurous African driving style, John made us feel completely secure throughout the journey. His calm demeanor and expertise behind the wheel were reassuring.
Cons: NONE!
Highlights:
The safari itself was breathtaking—spotting lions, elephants, and giraffes against the stunning Kenyan landscape was like stepping into a wildlife documentary. The accommodations were well-chosen, blending comfort with an authentic safari experience.
Overall, this safari was a dream come true. A big thank you to Yvonne for organizing it so perfectly and to John for making it safe, informative, and thrilling. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this company to anyone seeking an African adventure.

Professionnel and excellent service from start to finish, I knew I was with the best for my safari
Communication was fast and professional, with any questions answered quickly. I loved the detailed agenda, tips for packing and guidance I received from the team on visas. It was a pleasure working with them and they made me feel very comfortable as a solo female traveler. My driver was Willy, the ultimate professional who gave me the best experience I could have wished for! We were together for 5 days and he was always very kind and patient, answering the millions of questions I had. He is so knowledgeable about the parks, with great contacts, and works tirelessly to get you to the best spots to see the animals. We saw all the big 6, and managed to get so close, it was truly a magical experience. I wouldn’t hesitate twice in choosing Morning Star again and definitely would love to safari with Willy again. Their vehicles are excellent too !!!

Excellent driver (Rono) and logistics
We had a party of 6 adults, with Rono as our driver. He did a fantastic job with our group, giving us many good opportunities to see and photograph the animals. Rono was also very well-informed on all the wildlife we saw.
Kudos to Morningstar as well for great logistics. We had a driver switch at the very end, but everything went well. Thank you for the memories!

A Memorable Tour with Morning Star in Kenya
We've booked an 11 days tour in Morning Star, traveled in safari for 7 days and relaxed in Mombasa beach as the end.
Joysharon helped with all the arrangements! We've experienced walking safari, boat safari and game drive, and also lived in different kind of hotels which made the trip has a variety of experiences! She helped a lot and responded quickly when we have questions as well, so our issues can be fixed very fast.
Our driver is Augustine, he drove safely and also is an experienced guide to find animals, we saw the big five, elephants groups and many animal babies with a very nice spot! Thanks him a lot to left such beautiful life moments for us, and we've learnt many animals knowledge with his sharing!
Just trust the Morning Star, they will provide a wonderful trip for you!
Bali kiwa, asanti sana!

A truly unique experience, a perfect trip
We had an amazing trip with Morningstar doing 8 days/7 nights across Kenya.
Prior to the trip Joy was always prompt to reply and provide us with any relevant information. The whole process was very professional and felt well organised before we arrived.
Our guide, Willy, was fantastic - he always seemed to manage to position the vehicle in the right spot for where the animals were going to head. He moved along at our pace and had a knack of sensing when we might have needed a little more or a rest.
We saw every animal we wished to see - all of the big 6, ugly 5, wild dogs and more. Willy’s experience in knowing the regular routed of the animals and their behaviour was invaluable.
We had regular contact from Joy throughout, and Willy was also available on WhatsApp in the lodges when we were out through the week.
The land cruiser was spacious and comfortable, it had sockets to charge cameras/phones and reclining seats for the long drives between parks.
We feel we got fantastic value for money, all of the accommodation was of a high quality. The food throughout was varied and delicious, we never went hungry - my partner is a vegetarian and was well catered for at every hotel, with multiple options.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use morningstar again, and we certainly hope to return to Kenya with them again in the future.

Morningstar is professional, punctual and well organized
Morning Star is a great tour operator, they are professional, punctual and well organized. Wanja our travel agent answered all our questions before our trip to Kenya even those not related with the tour itself. Willy our guide/driver is well experienced and knows how to do his job. The first day he asked us what were our expectations and we said we wanted to see all the animals even the rare ones and that's what we got and more thanks to Willy's knowledge and a bit of luck :). All our trip was well organized from the first day to the last and we got to see so much in such a short period of time. If you are asking yourself if you should do a private safari with a 4X4 Landcruiser just do it pay the extra money you're not gonna regret it. Wanja and Willy at Morning Star are exactly what you wish for to make your safari full of magical long lasting memories. Thanks again guys.

Fantastic honeymoon safari
We would like to thank Joysharon for organising the most wonderful safari for our honeymoon. Everything was planned so well but there was also some flexibility in the schedule which we appreciated - we really felt our trip was personalised for us. James was a knowledgable and amusing guide who kept us entertained for the driving between safari parks as well as being a fountain of knowledge on all the animals we came across. A particular highlight was when a herd of elephants with their young calves were grazing round the car! We can’t thank both of them enough
