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.

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.

Alex was the BEST tour guide; very informative, knowledgeable, and accommodating!
Morning Star Tours were absolutely amazing to work with, from beginning to end. They were swift in response to email with all questions and concerns we had before booking. Alex, our tour guide picked us up from our hotel, on time, with a smile on his face, and cool waters to drink at anytime. We stopped half way to Amboseli for a 30 minute bathroom break and local shopping. We also stopped at a Maasi village to meet the people and learn more about their lifestyle. Before we even arrived in the park, we started seeing giraffe, and Alex was most accommodating to us excited Americans, slowing down so we could see them better. Once inside the park, we learned Alex has the best eye for spotting wildlife and was extremely knowledgeable about the different animals, where they hang out, and what times of day they are where. The hotel, Ol Tukai Lodge was AMAZING with views of Mt Kilimanjaro and the animals (elephants, gazelle, zebra, baboon) from almost every spot on the property. The food was also AMAZING, with so much to chose from, salads, rices, meats, fresh fruit, etc. You will not go hungry! The staff at Ol Tukai were extremely attentive, greeting you with a cool, wet cloth when you arrive and carrying your luggage to and from your hotel room. All in all, not only will we use Morning Star again, we would 100% recommend this tour group and Amboseli to all of our friends and family.

A friendly operator, who provided us with an excellent planned tour and good communication.
We received a great tour package from Morningstar Safaris. It was well thought through, the hotels were fantastic and the driver Alex was excellent. Via WhatsApp, the communication was fantastic and we would receive a reply within few minutes, at any time of the day.
The luggage, which has not arrived from the airline, was picked up and taken care off by a team member. Great service! Strongly recommend this tour operator.
Perfect arranged holidays
Good sequence of the visited national parks, sympathetic and professionally competent companion/driver, who was committed to our wishes with great commitment.

We joined a 2 day safari to Amboseli, lodging at Ol Tokai. Even though the drought had left clear marked we saw so many animals, even lions! Morningstars service up front, during and after the safari was perfect. Always informative, quick and precise in their communication. The lodge was very nice and the view from the rooms and dining area to the wet land where animals were bathing/eating was nothing less than spectacular.
Great personalized tours - good value, excellent guide
I found morning star based on their excellent reviews and personalized service. I had 4 days and especially wanted to see birds along w all the big game opportunities. I was a bit unsure of where to go since I had already seen many of Kenya’s parks - and I didn’t want day long drives between parks so jumped at their suggestion of Amboseli and Tsavo East and West.
My guide, Alex, excelled - he knows the parks, animal behavior, bird ID, keen eyesight - it was easy to take his advice about waiting for a herd of elephants in the distance, which then turned into an early morning family of lions in our midst before the lion herd passed right in front of us. This was just one of the moments of his making the right call to stay or go based on his knowledge. And then he was just a pleasant companion…
Meanwhile, morning star checked in several times during the 4 days to make sure all was going well.
I couldn’t be happier with morning star - good value and wonderful experience - highly recommend!

Flexible, Fun, ready for a good time.
Morningstar was super spontaneous and flexible with our afternoon safari in Nairobi National Park.
The guide was very friendly and helpful, knew where we needed to go, and made it a memorable afternoon.
The only thing I can comment on is that the car is starting to need replacing; it is well-maintained but a bit old.
