John was thorough, helpful, and a great sport to be around
This was an amazing experience. We felt we got a full moneys worth and were fortunate to see SO MANY animals. Highly recommend booking a night safari as an add-on. It was incredible. Our guide John was highly educated on all the animals so we learned a lot. The service was great, the accommodations were even better. Truly superb with delicious food. We are hoping to come back and will book again w Splendid

Exceptional service, fun trip
Had a great 6-day safari with Morningstar covering both the Masai Mara in Kenya and Serengeti in Tanzania. The itinerary was very well planned and felt like just the right amount of time to properly experience both parks without unnecessarily stretching out the trip.
A special shoutout to our guides, Joseph in Kenya and Jackson in Tanzania. Joseph was knowledgeable, funny and shared plenty of interesting facts about Kenya throughout the trip — we learnt a lot from him. Jackson was equally knowledgeable about the wildlife, culture and history of Tanzania, and put in some seriously long days driving us around — including one day of more than 12 hours!
Also a big thanks to Joysharon, our coordinator, who was always responsive and quick to answer our questions. We had a last-minute change to our flight timing and she was able to adjust the itinerary smoothly for us.
Logistics throughout the trip were well handled, and we had a great experience with the hotel staff and accommodations along the way.
Overall, a really enjoyable and well-organised safari. Thanks to Joysharon, Joseph and Jackson for making our Kenya and Tanzania trip such a memorable one!

Michael is perfect
Our safari in Tanzania was absolutely unforgettable, and that is mostly thanks to our guide, Michael. He is truly a special person—both as an exceptionally skilled professional and as a warm, amazing human being.
Michael went above and beyond to show us incredible, breath-taking places that left us speechless. Thanks to his deep knowledge of the wilderness and his great intuition, he gave us the chance to experience unique, once-in-a-lifetime emotions that we will treasure forever.
He took us to the most incredible spots and shared unforgettable moments with us. Driving through the Northern Serengeti at sunset was a truly breathtaking moment that will stay in my heart forever. We felt safe, cared for, and completely immersed in the beauty of Tanzania the entire time. Thank you, Michael, for making this trip a dream come true!
If you are planning a safari in Tanzania, ask for Michael. You couldn't ask for a better guide to share this journey with!

Outstanding service and memories for a lifetime.
When looking for our safari, I researched a number of tour companies. I chose Crater Explorers because they offered great value for money and Emanuel’s communication was friendly. quick and informative.
When we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport Emanuel was there to great us with a welcoming smile. We decided on the 4 day safari, taking in Tarangire NP, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Timot was safe on the roads, friendly, reliable and extremely knowledgeable without being over the top. He knew the beautiful landscape and the animals of his country like the back of his hand. We seen the Big 5, the ugly 5 and much much more! My highlights were the lion cub eating, the baby elephant being scared of a bird and spotting the elusive Leopard walking along a rock face.
We could not have got through the 4 days without the delightful chef, Emmanuel, who offered us variety and an abundance of food which was fresh and delicious. Thank you all for an amazing and unforgettable experience.

Excellent, really did everything to give us the best safari experience.
Tour guide Jimmie really gave us the experience of a life time. We saw all of the big five and many more animals. Great views of the giraffes in the beautiful sunset, a leopard resting in the grass, and a black rhino. Amazing!
