A Dream Safari in Kenya – Exceptional Service from Start to Finish
We have just finished an amazing 8-day honeymoon safari with Morning Star, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Before the trip even started, Beryl made everything so easy. She was always quick to reply, answered all our questions, adapted the itinerary to our preferences and schedule, and gave us different options to make sure we got exactly the trip we wanted. Planning a safari from abroad can feel overwhelming, but thanks to her, everything was smooth from the beginning.
Our safari included Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and a day in Nairobi. The whole itinerary was fantastic, and somehow every day managed to be even better than the one before.
The wildlife exceeded all our expectations. By the third day we had already seen the Big Five, which we never imagined would happen so quickly. During the week we saw four leopards, two cheetahs and several lion prides. We actually counted almost 30 lions throughout the trip! Every game drive felt different and exciting, and there was always something new to see.
The biggest reason why this trip was so special was our guide, Masila. He was simply excellent. Time after time, he seemed to know exactly where to go and somehow always got us into the best positions for sightings. His knowledge of wildlife is incredible — not only the big animals, but also birds and all the smaller details that we would have completely missed on our own. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does.
A special highlight was Amboseli, which isn’t included in every safari itinerary and ended up being one of our favourite parks. You could immediately tell how much Masila loves this place — he seemed to know every corner of it, which made the experience even more special. The landscapes, wildlife and views of Kilimanjaro were simply spectacular, and thanks to his expertise we got the most out of every moment there.
He also taught us a lot about Kenya, its culture and traditions, always with a great sense of humour. Throughout the whole trip he was friendly, professional, punctual, patient and always willing to help.
What impressed us most is that everything ran perfectly for eight days straight. With all the transfers, park visits and activities involved, that’s not something we take for granted.
This was our honeymoon, and it gave us memories that will stay with us forever. A huge thank you to Beryl and especially to Masila for making it such a special trip.
We would recommend Morning Star without hesitation to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Augustine our tour guide was absolutely amazing. Charistmatic, knowledgeable, and fun. I miss him.
Overall, an incredible journey. I am still shocked at the moments I had and pictures I have. Would recommend this trip with this company and Augustine 10 out of 10 times.

Great! A seamless safari experience, highly recommended!
I recently traveled solo with Morning Star Safari on a scouting trip through Kenya, with the goal of identifying new locations for the photographic safaris I lead professionally. I came back genuinely impressed on every level.
From the first exchange, Joysharon was sharp and responsive. Nothing fell through the cracks.
My guide and driver James was the real highlight. Exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about the wildlife and ecosystems we were moving through. Traveling solo with a specific target list of species, I needed someone who understood what I was after, and James delivered. We ticked off an impressive range of animals across Buffalo Springs and Samburu National Parks, which genuinely surprised me with their diversity and the quality of sightings. A very different feel from the more well-known circuits, and well worth the detour.
We closed the trip with a night at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a great way to break the drive back and end on a high note with the Black and White rhinos. And when my flight was delayed, James made the most of it with a visit to Nairobi National Park, which turned out to be a worthwhile bonus stop.
As someone who scouts destinations professionally before bringing guests, I leave with full confidence recommending Morning Star Safari. I'll absolutely work with them again.
