A perfectly planned Kenya & Tanzania safari with outstanding guides
We just finished an unforgettable trip through Kenya and Tanzania with Morning Star Safaris, and we cannot recommend them enough.
From the very first message, Joysharon was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. She handled everything quickly — even mid-trip changes like switching drivers and adjusting our route were sorted out without any stress. She even arranged a free upgrade to a beautiful riverside camp in the Maasai Mara, and prepared a lovely birthday surprise for us, which made the whole trip feel truly personal.
In Kenya, our guide John was outstanding. On our very first day in the Maasai Mara he managed to show us all of the Big Five — including a rare black rhino — and we were even lucky enough to witness a cheetah hunt. The sunrise hot-air balloon ride over the Mara was another once-in-a-lifetime moment.
In Tanzania, our guide Hassan amazed us with his knowledge. He could identify and explain every little animal we passed, from birds and reptiles to the smallest creatures, and shared so much about the animals' habits as well as local culture and history. Thanks to him we saw a white rhino and — the absolute highlight of our trip — two spectacular wildebeest river crossings.
Everything, from the camps and food to the transfers and cross-border arrangements, was arranged seamlessly. If you are planning a safari in East Africa, go with Morning Star Safaris and ask for John and Hassan. You will not regret it!
