Excellent service, great follow up and wonderful driver/guide
We went on a 7-day Safari trip to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Nakuru, and Maasai Mara. Alice from MorningStar provided excellent service - very prompt and thorough follow ups, attention to detail and providing options as we had some date changes to be incorporated initially. Timothy was our driver-cum-guide and he is a very skillful driver and very knowledgeable about the various animals/birds, and knew exactly where to stop to capture the best views of the wildlife. We had an amazing experience during this trip and would highly recommend MorningStar Tours and Travels.

Incredible Kenya Safari experience
We had a fantastic trip with Morning Star tours, Alice was very responsive and accommodating to our requests. Our Guide/ driver Timothy made the experience worth it by giving us the best seat in town every time to get the best shots and experience, he was an amazing driver and got us to places in great time. He knew when the animals were lining up and would cross our path and took us to sightings in time.
One suggestion would be to give a 48 hour window between selecting the accommodation and making the initial 40% deposit, we unfortunately did not get some of the initially selected accommodations and were offered alternatives.

Amazing once in a lifetime experience! Martin was incredible and the team planned an unforgettable
We had an incredible safari with our family of five and would highly recommend this company and, especially, our guide Martin.
The wildlife was amazing, particularly getting so close to elephants. Staying inside the parks was another highlight—we could hear lions calling at night, with some only about a quarter mile away!
The hospitality at the lodges was fantastic, including the warm welcomes and singing when we arrived. Martin took care of everything, including lunches on game-drive days, and was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with our kids.
Our 5-year-old became so attached to Martin that by the end of the trip, he genuinely felt like part of our family. We’ve already recommended Martin and this company to a close friend and would gladly recommend them to any family planning a safari.

Surprising
Tanzania proved to be a welcoming country with abundant, spectacular wildlife. It boasts wonderful, world-class hotels and professional, well-organized safari companies (such as Lion King Adventures), making the experience much safer and more comfortable—allowing you to enjoy nature without worrying about the rest.

Highly Effective & Efficient
We had a great experience and got to see basically every animal we wanted to, even the elusive big cats (leopard, cheetah, lion). Our driver Timothy was amazing! He was such an experienced, efficient, effective driver, easily shaving off 30+ minutes when getting between national parks. He was a friendly guide and exceptionally knowledgeable about the best places to see all the animals. He was kind and accommodating. Would highly recommend.
If I had one constructive feedback, it would be that I'd hope the tour guide be more informative to tell us details and fun facts about where we're going and seeing, but we still had a fantastic time and I'd definitely still recommend Morningstar as well as our driver.

Malaki Was the Guide Who Made My Serengeti Dream a Reality
We had six days with Malaki as our guide through Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, and I'll be back with Malaki as my guide.
From the airport pickup onward, Malaki felt like an old friend, handling every detail and special request we had seamlessly and with ease. I found out about Malaki through a friend who works at a 5 star luxury hotel chain in the USA; her colleagues all use Malaki Safaris when they vacation at the hotel chain's Serengeti location.
Malaki is an expert in wildlife and conservation and it was fascinating to talk to him about his guiding experience. He found the Big Five for us and he was just as thrilled as we were watching the wildlife. Malaki is kind, patient, easy going, knowledgeable, very professional, fun, and has fascinating stories about his guiding experiences, wildlife sightings, and the local Maasai culture. We learned a lot from Malaki and really enjoyed his company.
My trip to the Serengeti was my childhood dream, and Malaki made it entirely perfect. If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, ask for him, every detail will be perfection and you will be taken care of. I'm already looking forward to going back.

Excelent 2 days of safari
It was an incredible experience from start to finish! Our guide, Kelvin, did everything possible to make sure we could see as many animals as possible. He was kind, funny and very knowledgeable, and he shared lots of interesting facts and curiosities about the animals throughout the safari.
After each adventure, we arrived at beautiful, safe and comfortable places to rest, with delicious dinners and great breakfasts. They also provided us with bottled water constantly and took care of absolutely everything, so we could simply relax and enjoy the experience.
I 100% recommend this company, and especially our guide KELVIN! He made the experience even more special.
Thank you so much, Kelvin! 🐘🦁❤️

Great experience! Totally would recommend
It was very great tour, pascal was very knowledgeable, kind, friendly, funny and eager to get us the best experience possible. He was also giving us a lot of information about the animals, wildlife, plants and tribes. Would totally recommend him! 10/10 experience. We saw the big five and got really greats views on the animals. Also the rest of the staff was always really kind towards us, very helpful and always up for a good laugh. Was absolutely worth the money.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience in Tanzania!
We had an incredible 5 day safari in Tanzania with Gamedrive Travel Africa Safari Agency! From the very beginning, the communication was seamless, fast, and very helpful. The entire team was incredibly reliable, and everything went smoothly from pick-up to our transfer to the airport. Our guide, Hilary, and our driver, Justin, were local experts: knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to showing us the wonders of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti while taking care of every single detail. It was good value for money and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
