Exceptionally well organized, incredibly patient and responsive tour operator and outstanding guide
From start to finish, our experience with Morningstar Safaris was exceptional. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and our six-day safari through the North and Central Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater exceeded all of our expectations.
Alice, our tour operator, was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to understand our travel style and budget and created an itinerary that was perfect for us. Throughout the planning process, she was patient, responsive, and always happy to answer our questions about the itinerary and lodging options. During our 11-night trip through Tanzania—including Arusha, Safari, and Zanzibar—she checked in regularly and even resolved a minor accommodation issue for us quickly and seamlessly.
Jackson, our safari guide, was equally outstanding. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and birdlife was exceptional, and his expertise made every game drive unforgettable. Thanks to his determination, we were able to see and photograph an incredible variety of animals in their natural habitat, including black rhinos, cheetahs, and leopards. Time and again, just when we thought we would miss seeing an animal, Jackson somehow managed to find it.
What impressed us most was how Jackson went above and beyond when our independently booked flight to Zanzibar was unexpectedly delayed by five hours. Although it wasn't his responsibility, he helped us secure an earlier flight, saving the rest of our trip.
We highly recommend Morning Star Tours & Travel, especially Alice and Jackson. Their dedication, expertise, and exceptional service turned an incredible safari into a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we would gladly travel with them again.

A magical 10 days safari experience with Tony , 100% recommended
We had a fantastic first safari 11 days experience thanks to Tony and his team, with 4 members family and a friend. Tony is a great person who built his own company organizing safari, a remarkable guide and tracker, who demonstrates high respect for the wildlife, a great knowledge of animals and nature conservation; He is very professional and service oriented, with a good sense of humour. He is also familiar with photography and understands well amateur and professional photographers needs. The camp was very well organized by Ronnie and Ben, with Ronnie cooking very good and diverse meals . The tents are confortable, with separate shower /toilet area in each tent. We started from Maun, 4 different parks/area : Makgadikgadi, Savuti, Chobe , and morning in Victoria Falls, flight back from Zimbawe, 2 nights in lodge in Maun, 1 night before departure, all other nights in tent camp. Daily schedule is flexible, in our case we started with 6:00 AM wake up , looked for wildlife in the morning, back at the camp in the warmer hours for lunch and free time, and safari again from 16:30 to sunset around 18:15, then dinner at the camp. We could observe every possible animals , Tony found them and followed them when possible, with patience , a strong sense of tracking and observation, and expert knowledge of the parks. We warmly recommend Tony as an exceptional safari organizer and guide , he is also very respected by other guides we could meet along the way. The safari experience was great, and we were alone most of the time , or with very few cars around, which was appreciated as Tony favours uncrowded area and a genuine safari experience. The overall value for money for this safari was very good, the service offered by Tony Mobile was very reliable. We also highly recommend Bostwana as a country, with great people, and for its unspoiled nature and a very diverse wildlife. We recommend Tony Mobile Safari 100% and more !
