Nice and professional
## Tanzania Travel Review
Our Tanzania adventure was truly remarkable! Our tour guide Festo demonstrated exceptional professionalism and knowledge throughout the journey. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, with clean and well-maintained hotels providing comfortable stays. While the vehicle could use some improvements for enhanced comfort, it didn't detract from the overall experience. We were thoroughly satisfied with the trip, which delivered an authentic African safari experience combined with excellent service.

Reliable and helpful person, he drives well and we manage to arrive place on time.
In general the trip is good. We see many animals and went to the three parks that we booked. Hotel rooms are all booked correctly, there is no bad situation happen to us.
The only thing might be a bit annoying is, as we are a small group, we swapped the travelling buddies twice and due to that, I feel we might waste some time on the way. It is understandable that other companies do this as well. It is just a matter of expectations.
James is our guide, he is a good one, we followed the schedule mostly on time and we saw a lot of animals.
We did not manage to go Masai village or Naivasha lake, as we have tight schedule on the travelling.
Thanks a lot to Axis Africa for the amazing trip. Really appreciate it.

Kenya was good
My partner and I traveled to Kenya for 10 days in May 2025. It is a low season, so we really enjoyed exploring the National Parks without the crowds. We got the chance to see many amazing animals up close, but unfortunately (for me at least), cats sightings were very limited - we only saw one leopard that was hiding in a tree for a while and then ran away, cheethas that were too far away to actually see them and two lions in the bushes - also not very visible. That aside, we saw hundreds of zebras, giraffes, hippos, elephants, and monkeys. We were also lucky to see rhinos up close and got to feed giraffes in the Giraffe Center in Nairobi. We spend almost all of our time exploring the National Parks and visited the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Hell's Gate, Lake Naivasha, and Nairobi National Park. Our personal favorite was Lake Nakuru because the scenery there is just so amazing - the lake, the forest, everything was so magical! We also got to visit a Masai village but that wasn't really as interesting as I was expecting - it seems that those experiences had turned into a tourist trap; you do get to learn a little about them and being shown some of their daily life, but most of the time they are trying to sell you something and are showing you thing that people in the village have made (and I'm not sure how true is that as those were the exact same things you can buy in every souvenir shop). After I told the guy that we are not interested in shopping and this isn't the reason why we have come to see the village, our tour finished.

Fantastic time with memories made that we shall cherish forever!
We have just returned (today!) from a 10 night holiday in Kenya where both my parents were born. It was their first time going back to Kenya in over 50 years!
We had a driver called James who took us out on safari and drove us to and from Amboseli National Park in his vehicle last week. We got on ever so well with him right from the word go and he became a good friend to our family. He was friendly, helpful, professional and reliable throughout. We even invited him to dinner with us on Wednesday evening along with Alice from Morning star.
Alice was in contact with my sister both before & during our stay. She was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and so easy to get along with.
I would like to thank both James and Alice for our wonderful experience and hope to see them again in the future.
One tip for others using the company for airport transfers, please allow plenty of time and perhaps ask to be collected earlier as our transfer was 30 minutes late due to traffic which meant that we were rushing to reach the airport before check in closed and under pressure to get there. Other than this blip, we had an extremely pleasant experience using Morning Star. Thank you

Good
Experience was overall good. With few not-so-good experience with the driver and confusion about water bottles. Instructions were not very clear. Drives very rashly sometimes. But food, staff, everything was awesome!
