A Dream Come True!
I don't think we could have possibly had a better experience on our Safari. When I started looking into quotes I thought there was no way we could make this happen. There are SO MANY companies and so many itinerary choices. We found Morningstar through s
Safaribookings and I am so happy we did. Everything was easy from start to finish. On the booking end Beryl took care of us, she wasn't pushy (I had one company emailing me every single day asking for a decision and it immediately turned me off) Beryl was patient while I did my research and budgeting. Once we decided to book she set everything up for us, explained all the processes and choices to us and answered all my random questions. Replies were quick and informative.
But once we arrived in Kenya the real magic started. Our guide Rono was absolutely amazing and filled my head with tons of wildlife, history, and culture facts. As far as animals, we saw EVERYTHING! Rono had a special talent for trying to guess where moving animals were ultimately headed and I can't believe we ended up feet from Elephants, lions, cheetah, giraffes, and tons more. I'm a huge bird nerd and he really stepped up his game to find so many species of birds for me to see (something that's a bit outside of most people's Safari wishes) I really couldn't have asked for a better Safari experience!
The lodges that were tailored to our package were all fantastic. Staff everywhere we went were amazing.
I spent my childhood enamored with these animals, my adult life dedicated to wildlife conservation. This trip is something I never thought I would get to experience and I can't believe Morningstar made that happen for us!

Excelent midlevel safari operator in Kenya
We are a 65+ year old couple from the USA visiting Kenya for the first time. We recently returned from a 7 day mid range safari in Kenya operated by Morning Star. This trip was well organized and ran like clockwork. We were picked up by our guide/drive, named John, at the Naminga border crossing from Tanzania, and subsequently visited Amboseli, Aberdare, Lake Nakuru National Parks and Masai Mara National Reserve, and returning to Nairobi. The accommodations and destinations were excellent. We achieved our main goals, to see cheetah, big tusker at Amboseli, and Rhino at Nakuru, but we saw so much more. I note we were out of season to see the Wildebeast migration at the Masai Mara but did see large herds of Buffalo there. The vehicle (big Toyota safari vehicle with popup roof) was very spacious for just the two of us, both for safari drives and transfer between the destinations. Guide was excellent: polite, helpful, with many interesting stories and information on our sightings, and worked well with us to meet our goals and expectations. Also, Dennis, our point of contact with the company with whom we planned the trip, was super efficient and responsive.
