Dealing with Joy was a real pleasure. She was very attentive and made sure that everything was in order. When I asked for some extras she didn‘t hesitate to fulfill my wishes. The communication was always 100%!

Amazing experience in the wild
4/5

We spent 3 days and 2 nights respectively in Salt Lick Lodge and in Kibo Camp (in front of Kilimangiaro). We visited 3 parks: amboseli was incredible! We saw lots of animals like lions, elephants, hippo, etc. Our guide Daniel was very nice giving is the possibility to Make lots of nice pictures! Alice as Morning Star’s tour operator was available 24hours for any kind of assistance. We liked Amboseli a lot with Kilimangiaro’s view: thanks to our guide Daniel we visited also a Masai Village in front of Kilimangiaro. Here we entered in touch with local culture and traditions.

What an experience!
4/5

We took a 6 night safari with Morningstar staying one night at Lake Nakuru, 2 nights in the Masai Mara , 2 nights in the Serengeti and one night in the Ngorogoro Crater. Dennis was our tour consultant and he answered all our communications with great efficiency.
All of our accommodation was clean , comfortable and of a high standard.
We saw so many animals … lions , elephants, giraffes, hippos etc in abundance just to name a few plus we were lucky enough to see a cheetah and a leopard.
Dennis organized a visit to a Masai village for us which was amazing and also a sunrise hot air balloon experience over the Mara which was truly magical.
Overall we had a wonderful experience and would recommend Dennis and Morningstar.

Getting safari adjusted to our needs was very efficient, communication was great, people friendly!
4/5

From first moment, communication with Alice, our tour consultant, was great. She quickly responded to all our questions, modified itinerary to include our end point in Diani, after visiting Amboseli and Tsavo West conservancy.
Our guide was very sweet and quiet young man Julius, who tried to show us as much as possible. Most impressive were families of lions and views of Kilimanjaro in Amboseli NP, where we also saw elephants, hippos, zebras, hyenas, buffaloes, flamingos... Accommodation in Oltukai Lodge was great, food options for my daughter and me, who are celiacs, were amazing.
Herds of animals coming to drink water at Salt Lick Lodge waterhole was something special to experience. Elephants, wilder beasts, zebras….kept coming to drink in organized long lines. It is impressive how all animals work together and give each order chance to drink, since that is the only place where water is available.

Reliable and friendly safari organiser with maximum flexibility
4/5

I found this tour operator online. There are many offers so it can be confusing. I travelled with my adult daughter for our first visit to Kenya which was a safari followed by a few days relaxing by the beach. We chose Kenya because there is no trophy hunting. We booked rather late and were initially looking to join a group. My contact, Dennis, was very reactive to all my questions and flexible with the arrangements and dietary requirements. I was inspired by the proposed tour for just the two of us which included Massai Mara, Nakuru Lake and Amboselli. I really appreciated having the our lovely driver David to ourselves as we could have road stops when we wanted and get all the photo shots we wanted. The lodges were extremely comfortable and the buffet meals were copious. The price was an important criteria for me and in the end it cost me no more than a trip in a group including the flights from France (I booked flights on Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa). If you only have 2 days for safari, I recommend Massai Mara and Amboselli.

Excellent safari with Morningstar Safaris—flexible, reliable, and expertly guided by Jackson.
5/5

Our 4-day Serengeti safari with Morningstar Tours and Travel was truly unforgettable, and Jackson was the reason it was such an exceptional experience.

From the moment he picked us up at the airport until he dropped us off for our departure, everything was perfectly organized. Jackson was extremely punctual, professional, and reliable, ensuring that every part of the journey ran smoothly and stress-free.

During our four days in the Serengeti, it became clear that Jackson is an outstanding guide. His knowledge of wildlife, animal behavior, and the Serengeti ecosystem is simply incredible. He always seemed to know exactly where to be and when, allowing us to enjoy countless amazing sightings. Time and again, he spotted animals that we would never have seen ourselves and positioned the vehicle perfectly for the best views and photographs.

What impressed us most was his passion and dedication. He went above and beyond every day to make sure we had the best possible experience. His enthusiasm for the Serengeti is contagious, and he made every game drive exciting, educational, and memorable.

Jackson is not only an excellent guide but also a wonderful person. He made us feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for throughout our trip. His professionalism, experience, and positive attitude turned an already incredible destination into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

If you are planning a safari in Tanzania with Morningstar Tours and Travel, do yourself a favor and specifically request Jackson as your guide. He is truly exceptional and played a huge role in making our Serengeti safari one of the best travel experiences we have ever had.

Thank you, Jackson, for the memories. We will never forget them.

Morningstar is highly flexible, well organized, and responds quickly to requests.
5/5

My husband and I booked a 4-day safari tour in the Serengeti with MorningStar. Our guide, Jackson, picked us up from the airport on the very first day and even gave us a small safari experience on the way to our hotel. We were impressed by both him and the safari from day one – and it only got better from there.
Jackson is an outstanding guide. He shared his extensive knowledge of wildlife with us, making every game drive both informative and fascinating. He also has an incredible eye for spotting animals from a distance. Thanks to him, we were able to see a huge variety of wildlife and learn a great deal about the Serengeti ecosystem.
What stood out most was his friendly, accommodating, and flexible nature. He was always willing to adapt the schedule to our wishes, for example when we wanted to go on a drive later in the evening. Jackson is a very relaxed, kind, and genuinely cool person to spend time with, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable.
Every day brought new experiences and unforgettable memories. We are truly grateful to have had Jackson as our guide and would happily book another safari with him anytime.
As he taught me to say: Asante sana!

Smooth, efficient, and friendly
5/5

Very good experience with Morning Star. Joy helped answer lots of questions and tweaked our itinerary multiple times patiently before we finally decided on doing a mix of Naivasha, Amboseli, and Masai Mara over 7 days. We had John as our driver and tour guide for the entire trip, and he was amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. John understood our preferences quickly and made suggestions and tweaks to cater to our needs. We got lucky with tons and tons of animal viewings and behaviors (wildebeest chasing away Cheetahs for e.g.!) and John also went out of his way to help and try to find rare animal sightings. Though we couldn't see the rare Rhino, it was amazing to see John go out of his way and put in almost 10 hours of driving trying to find this elusive creature! All in all a terrific trip!
