Dedicated: Great Service, Communication and Personalization
The Morningstar team, Tume and Dennis, were prompt and transparent in all their communication while coordinating our safari, and were great at ensuring all our desires were met. As people that are very used to organizing trips for ourselves, the team's frequent check-ins throughout the booking process helped put us at ease that we were in good hands and the details were being taken care of.
The safari itself reflected the agreed-upon itinerary and our guide, Alex M., was prompt, informative and energetic throughout the trip. This was our first safari experience and we witnessed more than we could have ever hoped for, including seeing the Big Five, multiple kills, and tons of adorable baby animals in three beautiful parks (Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara). There's no way this would have been possible, had it not been for Morningstar and their vast knowledge of the parks and wildlife. Our accommodations and additional activities were top notch as well.
This trip was one for the books, and we would absolutely book with Morningstar again in the future. You're in great hands with them!

Reliable and friendly safari organiser with maximum flexibility
I found this tour operator online. There are many offers so it can be confusing. I travelled with my adult daughter for our first visit to Kenya which was a safari followed by a few days relaxing by the beach. We chose Kenya because there is no trophy hunting. We booked rather late and were initially looking to join a group. My contact, Dennis, was very reactive to all my questions and flexible with the arrangements and dietary requirements. I was inspired by the proposed tour for just the two of us which included Massai Mara, Nakuru Lake and Amboselli. I really appreciated having the our lovely driver David to ourselves as we could have road stops when we wanted and get all the photo shots we wanted. The lodges were extremely comfortable and the buffet meals were copious. The price was an important criteria for me and in the end it cost me no more than a trip in a group including the flights from France (I booked flights on Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa). If you only have 2 days for safari, I recommend Massai Mara and Amboselli.

Tailor made, professional and the best price. Thank you!
We were blessed to book our safari with Morning Star!!! Dennis and his team helped us to combine safari in both Kenya and Tanzania. Communication was smooth and we received a lot of advice and good tips (e.g. yellow fever certificate if you travel from Kenya to Tanzania). Every moment from initial quote to the last day - was exceptional! Flexible, knowledgeable and the best price. Thank you for unforgettable experience:)

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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 !
