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 !

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!

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 :)

Alex and Alice from Morning Star took great care of us!
We had a blast in Amboseli (Kibo camp), Naivasha (Sopa resort), and Maasai Mara (little zebra plains). Check-in was smooth at all of the hotels. We got picked up from the airport and we were in good hands throughout our safari. Food was great and plentiful. Alex, our guide, is an absolute professional, prompt and knowledgeable. He shared his knowledge and we had a fun time with him. The parks and hotels were all beautiful. Everyone very friendly. Thank you Morning Star!!

Really great!
I think my tour guides are all very professional and friendly! Special thanks to Boniface and Jackson, our tour guides.
The hotel we stay are pretty good! And the communication with morning star company is very efficient.
Only an advice is that, I think if they arranged one day at north Serengeti and two days in central Serengeti would be much better!(this time we stay three days all in central Serengeti.) Because we visit here at end of June, most of the great migration are already go to North Serengeti, we totally missed that part, which is very sad 😔
However, overall the tours are amazing!

Jackson is a wonder tour guy! Very knowledgeable and fun
Great travel agency! My luggage was delayed and arrived on the second day. Morningstar helped transport my luggage all the way from the airport to the national park so I can finally get my luggage. Very grateful to Morningstar staff and our tour guy.

friendly and professional
Jackson and Boniface were professional and friendly, and overall, we had a good trip. However, we had a negative experience with a local guide in Kenya who demanded a high tip at the start of our tour. We appreciate the travel agency’s assistance in addressing this issue promptly.

Excellent!
The itinerary arranged by Morningstar Travel was excellent. During our 11-day trip through Kenya and Tanzania, everything was planned very smoothly. Our guide Boniface in the Maasai Mara gave us a great start with his detailed explanations of the animals. In Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, our guide Jackson led us to see a wide variety of wildlife — including three sightings of cheetahs and three of leopards — making the journey truly unforgettable.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari- Thanks to our Incredible Guide Tim
My wife and I just returned from the most unforgettable experience of our lives- and it’s all thanks to our phenomenal safari planning with Joysharon and our guide Timothy!
Joysharon was very helpful prior to our trip and checked in daily throughout our 4 day safari ensuring we were happy with our lodging, experiences and safari drives.
From the moment we stepped into the 4x4, Tim greeted us with warmth and knowledge of the wildlife. Over the course of our safari, he seemed to have an almost magical ability to know where the animals would be and he had such a close relationship to the other guides always sharing his knowledge with them. We saw cheetahs basking in the sun, a crocodile warming along the shore, hyena’s protecting their scraps from vultures, hippos staying cool in the river, elephants walking with their babies, zebras, giraffes and antelope galore! Tim also ensured my personal request of finding a leopard who walked right along side of our Jeep and The King of the Jungle- 2 male lions hiding in the bush keeping an eye on their morning catch!
This was my wife and mines long await honeymoon and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Asante sana!!!
