Full score travel agency
Morning Star gave me a very good experience, which made my family and I successfully complete this trip to Kenya，and Morningstar has a WeChat account, which brought great convenience to China tourists. As a China person, I highly recommend this travel agency.
Dennis is in charge of contacting me. He is very warm and considerate, and we all like him very much.He patiently helped us work out the itinerary and gave us a reasonable quotation
Originally, I appointed Alex as our guide. He is modest, polite and experienced.Due to some small circumstances, Willie finally became our guide.Willie's personality is very interesting, and he takes us everywhere to find animals.Although we didn't communicate much because of my poor English, we got along very happily for eight days. Although we returned to China, we still missed everything in Kenya, as well as Willie and Dennis.Willie is highly recommended. He is a great guide, and he is very safe and happy to get along with.

Both of our guides were extremely kind and very knowledgeable
Willie was our first guide. He was amazing driving our jeep on the dirt roads, holes in the ground, and through the water. He was very attentive to both of us. He made every effort for us to get to see as many animals as possible.
Haran was our second guide. He provided so much information on the animals and their habits. We were enthralled by his knowledge. No request was too much to ask of him because he was going to please.
I would recommend both of these guides to anyone thinking about a safari.

Comprehensive Tour Operator with Great Drivers
My husband and I along with a good friend and her husband had an eleven day safari and beach trip throughout Kenya. I went in knowing where I wanted to go mostly, and worked with Dennis at the front office. He was able to put together an itinerary that took into account what I had asked for, but also expanded it to address what my friends and husband would want to experience, considering this was their first time in Kenya and on safari. He put together a packed itinerary that hit so many things (Nairobi, Samburu, Aberdares, Naivasha, Mara and the Coast). We were always on the move with our driver, Alex. Alex was great - some amazing driving skills and good eyes. Also very sociable so always connecting with the other drivers to find the good spots and sharing perspective on life in Kenya.
The accommodations were great, the land cruiser was relatively comfortable and well stocked with water.
During the planning, Dennis was very accessible and communicative. He was willing to make small changes to the plans as I had some particular notions of what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go. Having Whats App downloaded allowed me to connect with the front office while we were traveling around Kenya, which was helpful when we were at the coast.
We greatly enjoyed working with Morningstar! The only issue I would mention is that if you have questions or concerns, speak up clearly and early. It's not a bad idea to review the itinerary with your driver/Morningstar upon arrival to make sure your understanding of what is included and what isn't is still the same and has been confirmed with the driver and the accommodations. Especially if you are going off the regular tourist track (out of the major parks).
There were a few communications transparency concerns where I think the office had everything under control, but plans had changed and we had not been updated. There were some miscommunications at the end between Morningstar and the accommodation, that seemed to have been based upon expectations and not confirmed commitments from the accommodations.
When I spoke up or contacted the office or mentioned something to Alex, a fix was often figured out (or at least they attempted to figure it out) but you need to speak up early if you have questions or concerns and don't make assumptions that just because something is stated on your itinerary, everyone involved is aware of what the initial travel itinerary was and is and has the same understanding of what's included and what isn't.
The experience we had for the money we paid was a great option and Alex was there and ready for us on time every day. He had a great energy and was flexible with our irregular requests (finding a pharmacy in Nanyuki, going to my old house in Nairobi, visiting Sarit Center/Westgate in Westlands.

Trust and individuality are the key values
We are very happy to have planned our private safari tour with morning stars. Right from the first contact, advice was provided quickly and adapted to our wishes. A detailed schedule and a detailed overview of the costs was provided before the start of the trip. We were picked up at our hotel as promised. Our tour guide Alex led us through the animal world with a great enthusiasm. In his company, we always felt safe and had a very entertaining Safari. Thank you for everything!

If I could give this company more than 5 stars, I would give 11. What an experience!!
Well, let me start with communications … from the very beginning. It was clear, Alice understood exactly what I was looking to accomplish and delivered. This safari delivered value for the money in service reliability and support … 100%. The icing on the cake was our tour guide, brother John. Tour guide #1 … caring supportive, helping where he could…I had stomach issues the entire trip, so he adjusted some drives to help. John made sure he found the animals … even in what seemed barren, he made the drive worth it not coming up empty. John, you are the BEST!!!
I chose mid-range and I was very comfortable with the accommodations. Yes, I would do another tour with Morningstar … with John of course!
Thank you guys for a wonderful experience! If you are considering Morningstar for safari don’t hesitate

Morningstar is a guarantee of quality and reliability
This was my second safari with Morningstar. The first one was in Kenya, and when I decided to visit Tanzania, I immediately chose them again because of how easy the booking process is, their prompt responses, and their clear and efficient communication.
Once again, everything was organized to perfection. The tented camps and hotels were located in stunning places, the experiences were truly unique and will stay with me for a lifetime, also the 4x4 vehicle was in perfect condition.
I must say that my guide Jackson was absolutely outstanding. He was always attentive to our needs, promptly answering all of our questions and making us feel like an integral part of Tanzania and its breathtaking landscapes. Furthermore, our guide was always punctual, drove the vehicle with great skill, and ensured that we felt completely safe at all times. The vehicle was always well-maintained as well. Additionally, our guide was a delightful person to chat with, sharing the beauty of their country with passion and knowledge.

Safari in tanzania
We were fortunate to be accompanied for 10 days of safari in Tanzania’s parks by Jackson , an outstanding guide . Always punctual, professional, and discreet, he made each day enjoyable and well-organized without ever being intrusive.
The tour was planned down to the smallest detail: transfers ran smoothly, and the stops in the various parks allowed us to fully experience the beauty and diversity of African nature.
The accommodations that welcomed us during the journey lived up to expectations, offering comfort and hospitality that made the experience even more memorable.
A trip we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone wishing to discover Tanzania with the assurance of being guided by serious and passionate professionals.

Rono was fantastic in every way possible!
Our trip with Rono from Morningstar was fantastic! He is extremely friendly and has nerves of steel. He showed us all the great places and animals. He didn't mind long days lasting more than 12 hours. Thank you, Rono, for this wonderful trip!
