Authentic and personal experience!
5/5

This was our first time visiting Kenya—and Africa—so naturally, we had a lot of questions, some concerns, and too many options. After speaking with several tour operators and reviewing multiple itineraries, we ultimately chose Shanjoy Tours and Safaris, and we’re so glad we did.

They were incredibly patient, proactive, and responsive to our many queries. Despite booking on short notice, they worked around all our constraints to design a personalized itinerary that gave us the best possible safari experience.

Masai Mara was an amazing experience. It is a wonderful park with animals all aroumd.Our guide for the Masai Mara, Nelson, was fantastic—his enthusiasm was contagious, and thanks to his skill and energy, we saw all the big game, including the elusive leopard. Do ask for him :-)

Amboseli was another highlight. Though smaller than other parks, it offered a more intimate viewing experience. Our guide there was engaging and knowledgeable, and provided lots of tid bits about animals. However, the roads in Amboseli are quite rough with frequent potholes, and we felt a newer Land Cruiser safari vehicle would have made the drives more comfortable. At Amboseli, the jeep did not have the 2 binoculars either.

Special thanks to Patrick and Martin on the front office team, who were warm, professional, and committed to making our trip unforgettable.

AWESOME SAFARI EXPERIENCE WITH A PRIVATE TOUR THAT TRULY EXCEEDED MY EXPECATIONS
5/5

Whole hearted hats off to Shanjoy Tours (Beth our contact point and the guides Rio and Steven (Kenya) and Mustafa (Tanzania) for a memorable safari holiday. My friend and I had huge expectations of this trip and we truly enjoyed every day of the holiday well served by the Shajoy team. We picked Shanjoy because of their quick and sincere response to our emails and set up calls to understand our requirements and holiday plans. Their proposal was detailed which gave us the confidence to choose them. The 12-day private tour was superb as the guides/drivers were knowledgeable about the parks and the wild animals, providing us with interesting information of their living habits. The landcruiser is clean and comfortable. The guides also tried their very best to find the wild animals that we wanted to see and even drove close to the animals giving us the best shot for our photos. Though late June was not the peak season and migration not yet started, we were still able to see large crowds of wildebeest and zebras marching towards the river and crossing roads at close distance. This is more relaxing than during peak season.

We also like the accomodation which had both tented rooms overseeing the park as well as cottage style hotels with courteous service and well maintained facilities. We were extremely lucky to see elephants grazing in front of us while having breakfast. We would recommend travellers to select luxury accomodation even with a slightly higher price as the view and experience (sun rise and sunset) after a long day of game drive was totally worth it. We also visited the Maasai village in Kenya and a banana plantation in Tanzania which I think is a nice break from the game drive and get to know the local heritage. Thanks so much to the Shanjoy team for their great service and hospitality.

Amazing personal service from start to finish !!!!
5/5

From my very first enquiry to the end of the holiday, Martin was exceptional. His communication and helpfulness were outstanding throughout. The itinerary he created and the accommodation he recommended were absolutely perfect.

I have limited mobility, but Martin went above and beyond to ensure my entire trip was not just comfortable but truly enjoyable. Our driver, Elijah, was warm, friendly, and insightful. Both he and Martin joined us in the Land Cruiser, bringing a wonderful, positive energy to the journey.

Overall, I could not fault Shanjoy or Martin. They delivered a fantastic holiday filled with unforgettable memories, all at a fair price. Thank you so much, Martin. We hope to see you again someday. Asante Sana.

Amazing!
5/5

Our trip to Kenya and Tanzania was even better than expected! Martin met us at the hotel and turned us over to our wonderful driver/guide, David, who took care of us all through Kenya, with Mackenzie taking over in Tanzania. Communication prior to the trip was great, making everything run so smooth on our end. I 10 out of 10 recommend!

Excellent Experience Beginning to End
5/5

Our experience with Shanjoy for a private 12-day tour across Kenya and Tanzania was excellent beginning to end.

Communication was always clear, reliable, and prompt from the initial quote email through to booking through to actually being on safari. I really appreciated during the initial booking phase that Shanjoy gave me time and space to consider the options and never made me feel pressured. When I asked for changes to the itinerary, they were done quickly and accurately. The lodges that Shanjoy selected were great — good food, great service, clean and comfortable rooms, and excellent locations inside the parks. Shout out to Rodah for all of her support.

On safari, our driver in Kenya was Patrick. Patrick was fantastic. He was a perfect mix of informative when we asked questions, but also let us have space so we never felt awkward and pressured to maintain a conversation. He is a very genuine and nice person so conversations with him were very natural. He is a very competent driver and a good wild life spotter with over 20 years of experience. I also appreciated that he was respectful of the animals while getting you close up viewings. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and reliable. No major breakdowns (and the one minor breakdown Patrick had fixed in 10 mins).

Transferring vehicles at the border of Kenya-Tanzania was smooth. Eric was our driver in Tanzania (Mama Savanna is Shanjoy’s partner company). Eric was a top notch wildlife spotter and a great driver. Again, the vehicle was clean, comfortable, and we had no issues or breakdowns.

Overall, I highly recommend Shanjoy. Next time we are back, we’ll be booking again with them.
