“They make sure every moment of the trip counts.
Our tour guide Willy was amazing! He was knowledgeable, spoke good English, and was also a very patient and reliable driver. Even with our long flight delay, he waited for us and welcomed us with a warm “Hakuna Matata,” which made us feel so much more at ease after the long journey.
He really went all out to make sure we got the most out of our trip. He made sure we saw all the animals we wanted to see, and even contacted other guides in his community to find the best spots for us to get good photos. And with the rough roads, we always felt safe with him driving.
Really grateful to have had him as our guide — he made the whole experience so much more enjoyable! 🦁❤️

An outstanding, punctual, and safe safari operator that delivers top service and great moments!
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience with Morningstar Tours. From day one, their organization, reliability, and punctuality were top-notch. They respected every detail of our planned itinerary while continuously delighting us with wonderful surprises along the way.
A huge, special thanks to our guide, Alex, whose expertise and sharp eyes made our game drives truly magical. Thanks to him, we witnessed incredible, once-in-a-lifetime moments: getting up close with lions, spotting a rare leopard, and even watching a lioness carry her prey across a river! We were also blessed to see a newborn topi and so many adorable baby animals, from giraffes to warthogs.
Customer service was clearly their top priority—we felt pampered, safe, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire journey. If you want a trustworthy safari operator that puts the client first and delivers an authentic, dream-like adventure, book with Morningstar Tours!

Best experience ever
It was one of the best experiences ever. We had so much fun!
Managed to see the big 5 and much more. Our guide Mwlolo (Stephen) was a very very experienced driver - he knew every road and destination by heart. He knew every park, every road and places where we could find animals! He went an extra mile to show us black rhino (they are very rare!!!) and leopard (very hard to find). It always depends on luck to see animals but he was not hesitant when he heard about them on the radio. Stopped everywhere we asked and told us a lot about animals, safari and Kenya in general. We could rely on him 100%.
The tour was shaped according to our desires. We did: Amboseli (2 nights), Nakuru (1 night) and Masai Mara (2 nights). Even though the ride from Amboseli to Nakuru was very long - it was definitely a good decision to have Masai Mara as the last destination so we could enjoy hot air ballon the last day!
Morning Star is an amazing company with very good communication and offer. They send you a quote with exact prices of each thing, so you can easily change accommodation to your budget and/or add activities.
Mwlolo (Stephen) is amazing, could not recommend enough!!!

Smooth sailing
Stephen from Morningstar went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable.
The car was comfy, but able to withstand the “African massage”, Stephen always punctual and ready to answer any silly questions we might have or provide insights. Ended learning quite a bit about
the animals as well as the life in Kenya.
Quite a bit of years of experience under his belt in game drives, thus we’ve managed to knock out the big five in the span of 6 days, having visited Amboseli, Nakuru and Maasai Mara!
Well recommended!

Unforgettable experience
We had a great safari experience in Kenya. Everything was well organized and on time. Our driver Julius was friendly, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. He really went the extra mile to make sure we had the best experience possible. Also cares about the wellbeing of the animals which was very important to us. We saw the Big5 and so much more. 10/10, would do it again.

So well organized and so fun
We had such an amazing experience with Morningstar Safaris and genuinely couldn’t have asked for a smoother trip!
Joysharon was our coordinator and she was amazing from the start. She was always super responsive whenever we had questions and made planning everything so easy. We never felt like we were left wondering what was happening or what we needed to do next.
Gabriel was our guide for the safari and he was absolutely wonderful. We spent so much time together over the trip and he really took care of us. He kept the car clean throughout the safari, always made sure we had plenty of water, and handled all the little things along the way so we basically never had to worry about anything. We could just get in the car every morning and enjoy the day.
He was also super patient during the game drives and always tried to get us the best views of the animals. We never felt rushed, and the whole trip felt really flexible and relaxed even though we were moving between multiple places.
What I appreciated most was just how easy everything felt. Safari involves a LOT of driving and logistics, but somehow we never really had to think about any of it. Everything was organized, reliable, and taken care of for us.
We had an incredible time in Kenya and Morningstar was a huge part of that. Huge thank you to Joysharon and especially Gabriel for taking such good care of us throughout the trip. We would 100% book with Morningstar again and recommend them to our friends and family!

Helps make sure we see all the animals possible
We had an amazing safari with Morning Star Tours & Travel, and Gabu made the experience unforgettable.
Everything was super smooth from start to finish. Gabu kept the car clean every day, always made sure we had plenty of water, and took care of all the little details so we could just relax and enjoy the trip. He was patient, friendly, and always happy to stop for photos or spend more time watching the animals.
The wildlife was incredible — we saw the Big Five, the Ugly Five, cheetahs, elephants with babies, lions, leopards, rhinos, and so much more. Gabu was really good at spotting animals and knowing where to go, and we ended up with some amazing sightings and photos.
More than anything, he was just really fun to spend time with. After so many hours together in the safari vehicle, it honestly felt more like traveling with a friend than just having a guide.
We would absolutely recommend Morning Star and Gabu to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. Such a memorable trip!

Professional, reliable, and genuinely caring service
We had a wonderful experience with this tour operator and would highly recommend them!
A special thank you to Gabriel, our driver, who was absolutely fantastic throughout the trip. He was humble, kind, helpful, and always on time. He was also very knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information with us along the way. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.
I’d also like to thank Joysharon, our booking agent, who was very responsive and helpful from the beginning. She answered our questions promptly and made the booking and planning process smooth and easy.
Overall, the service was professional, reliable, and genuinely friendly. Gabriel and Joysharon both made our trip a great experience. We would definitely book with them again!

organized, competent and unforgettable experience
We had a very good experience with Morning Star Safari Tours. Everything was professional, organized, and well managed. Communication with Joysharon was great. Our guide Gabriel was knowledgeable and competent, and we saw every animal on our checklist. Overall, the safari offered great value for money.
Unfortunately, we arrived too late in the season to see the Great Migration, but this was entirely about our timing.
The trip is highly customizable, which is a major advantage. However, because we didn’t know what to expect as first-time visitors, we mostly followed the default itinerary, which is good enough.
Overall, we were very happy with the trip and would highly recommend Morning Star Safari Tours.
