Excellent communication with reliable and great value for service
Dennis has made our trip into pure nature loving reality. He fully understood the exact character of what we were wishing to realize and tailored it to an unforgettable journey - between herds of wild game and lodges or tents awaiting us at the sunset of each day.
We were extremely lucky to have Henry -as our tour guide who was very humble with great knowledge! He was very sharp and skillful spotting of any Game in the vast territory of the parks. With great explanations about animals, weather influence, and history of local tribes, their culture, customs it made our trip educational and memorable.
Henry is very experienced in his profession- loves his country and it’s nature and was very enthusiastic to share it with us all through the wonderful days we traveled together.
We would highly recommend both - Dennis and Henry for your tour of Masai mara.

Organised
My father and I travelled to Kenya and had a wonderful experience with Alex as our driver / guide. The accommodations were excellent, the food suburb, and we always felt safe with Alex at the wheel. He was also so incredibly knowledgeable of the area and where to find the anomaly, but also very respectful not to disturb the habitat. His expertise and passion for the parks and animals shone through.

Real adventures!
We chose Morning Star Tours for safari, because they offered most suitable custom safari for me, my husband and our 4 year old son, moreover, their prices were 30% lower for the same intinerary compared to the other big tour operators.
We were really happy about our guide and driver Alex. We thought he was a newbie (looking very young ;) ), but we found out that he was an experienced guide working in the business for 7 years!
Alex is a really good driver (we felt very safe) and he is an adventure seeker, due to his effort and persistence, we managed to encounter a male lion in one meter distance protecting his resting lioness. What a memory!! And I am not talking about his effort during all the trip to meet all big 5!
He was also very patient with our toddler, who used to get bored during long trips.
Thanks for great experience!
Much recommended!

Simply the best !
If you want the best Safari and Africa experience of your life, there are not a lot of option. Indeed, only one: Morning Star. They are amazingly organised and prepared. Everything is tailor made for your best experience. They are the best in the Game of the Game drive and will always find the best spots to observe wildlife and will make everything to seek for any of your animal request followed by a clear success of the mission.
We saw the big 5 after 2 hours thanks the Alex Masila the best guide , the bro, the big boss that knows everything about his country, its wildlife and about things in general !
I seeked for several months for the best Tour company and after receiving dozens of quote i was immediatly starstrucked by far by Morning Star. They are fast with the reply, pro, clean especially Robert and their designed are the most pro i have seen.
So we booked and we went to Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru in the best Lodges, seeing amazing wildlife and being pampered all along our journey. They absolutely rocked everything it was a 10/10.
Thanks again to the whole team, it is not for nothing that they are the best rated ones !

reliable and accomodating
We have been on a three day (2 nights) safari with Morningstar Tours to Tsavo West and Amboseli. When looking for possible options for a particular route they had the best price for value, even with the additional fees for staying within the sanctuary at SaltLick. Our guide was Kennedy for the three days and though we had to cover quite long drives, he made sure that we are comfortable all through. The communication form the inquiry all through the trip and even after finishing the tour was with fast responses through the office and big thanks to Dennis for that as well. Kennedy has packed in as much into those three days as possible, also given that bí the end of day two we have been a little overfilled with the zebras and the dust but he listened to us and our asks and accommodated every wish we might have had on the way. Overall it was a great experience and would gladly use Morningstar tours in the future as well if the possibility arises.

Professional and top quality with a fantastic human touch
The staff has picked me up at the hotel with their 4WD at the scheduled time in Nairobi and this was the first surprise with three lovely young, smiley and expert guides! We have moved then to Mt.Longonot for a beautiful hike, all together. This was fantastic, the trail, the landscape with the forest inside the crater and we had fun on the way. You will meet some other hikers from Kenya, Europe and all over the world, never too many, but making you feel you are doing something great. Back to the road we headed to a resort on lake Naivasha where we had lunch the four of us together; the food was super and the place probably the number one in the area; MorningStar could not choose a better place.
The boat tour made us restarting a new experience, encountering hippos, any kind of colored birds and the queen of them, the eagle, offering us a unique spectacle by catching a fish after an elegant sky dive just in front of us. Then a walk among zebras, antelopes, giraffes and many others with an expert local guide explaining the nature secrets. Couple of things I have loved and which will make this experience for life; the quality of Service from MorningStar which is really a value, and the passion and highly friendly dedication of the guides. They should be all good, but Alice, Joy and Alex you will never forget them ! professional, friendly, knowledgeable and like you knew them since a long time already :) my thanks to MorningStar

Far far exceeding expectations
Perfect planning, perfect execution, perfect and prompt communication. Our guide Alex - we could not wish for a better guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable; our Safari went exactly according to the schedule ; he was very keen to show us maximum possible on the Safari, but yet taking care we have time to relax and enjoy the moments (family of 4, kids 14 and 6) ; everyone had really good time.

Nothing was too much, very accommodating.
Dennis arranged everything we asked for in a fast, through manor. He was very realiable and I thought also the trip was reasonably priced. The lodges were stunning with great views.
Alex did not disappoint on Safari. His experience shone through. He managed to get us close to some amazing animals we felt very spoilt.

The wind beneath my buffalo wings
Morningstar was a fantastic value and a wonderful experience. I booked the 3-day Amboseli Safari and John was informative and happy to answer all the random questions about life in Kenya that popped into my head. Equally as important he knew when to just let the day pass before us. We shared coffee and meals and got to see some amazing sights. Ambsoeli is the spot to go for elephants -- there are 2,000 in the park, but if you're looking for big cats maybe ask Morningstar to take you to Masai Mara or somewhere. For me, the Kilimanjaro views and pachyderm close encounters were something out of childhood fantasty. Thank you, Denis, Emmie, John, and everyone at Morningstar!
