Alex is a very knowledgeable and extremely skilled driver, very friendly and well connected.
I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by Morning Star Tours and Travel. They made our honeymoon a trip to remember forever.
I worked with Alice for all the bookings, and she was very responsive and friendly.
Our driver-guide Alex was very knowledgeable, experienced, and the best driver! He rescued two other 4x4 that got stock in the mud, and he always managed to give us front row view to incredible animals. We first went to Amboseli, where we saw the Kilimanjaro, a ton of elephants in the sunset and from extremely short distances, lions, zebras, giraffes… Then to Lake Naivasha, where we took a boat to see hippos, did a walking safari, and enjoyed some time in the SOPA resort, which is also full of wild animals! Lastly, we went to Maasai Mara, and were lucky enough to see a leopard (rarest cat to see), a cheetah, and lions from around 10 meters away!!! Morning Star also upgraded our accommodation in Maasai Mara to a luxury tent and gave us some cool safari hats.
Overall, we are extremely happy with our first safari experience, and we are very thankful for Alex!! We would definitely recommend :)

Personable, Resourceful, and Highly Knowledgable
My family and I just completed a six day safari and culture tour from Maasai Mara through the Serengeti to the Ngorongoro crater! We had an incredible time and were able to successfully visit all of the Big Five thanks to our amazing drivers/guides (Joseph in Kenya and Chris in Tanzania) who went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable, answered all our questions, and worked hard to make sure we had an unforgettable experience – including seeing baby lion cubs, plenty of elephants, a scene between a male lion and a buffalo, and fortunately both a leopard and rhino on our last day!
In particular, our guide, Chris was with us every step of the way from two days in the Serengeti, through a few bumps on the road on the way to Ngorongoro Crater, a last minute tour to a coffee farm in Meru District, and ultimately, a bittersweet send-off at the airport. The Morning Star team was responsive and checked in on us via WhatsApp, and we were even upgraded to Lalashe Camp in Maasai Mara which was a truly luxurious experience. Our favourite was the Embalakai Camp in the heart of the Serengeti, and we were blown away by all of the animals we were able to see and the beautiful scenery each day. Highly recommend for your family vacation. I am so grateful I got to experience this once in a lifetime trip with my parents and family!

Experienced, knowledgeable, friendly
I really enjoyed working with Morningstar safaris. Communication was fast, Emmie was super helpful, itineraries were very detailed and customizable. The game drives at Masai Mara were excellent. It’s obvious that George has been working as a guide for many years as he was very knowledgeable and knew the best spots and routes to take. We were able to see 4/5 of the big 5! (Except rhino). Both accommodations were very nice. Overall we had a fantastic first time doing a safari and would love to come back in the future !
