Very knowledgeable, helpful, welcoming.
I would recommend Shanjoy to anyone. Beth was our tour organizer, and she was so easy to work with. We wanted to go to Kenya and Tanzania for our honeymoon and she made our dreams come true. Every detail was organized, we felt safe the whole time, and if we ever had questions she was easily accessible via email and whatsapp. We had an incredible experience and cannot say enough about Shanjoy! Thank you!

quick to respond
The advantage of this agent is their quick response time. Whether during the booking process or throughout our journey, they assisted us in resolving issues as promptly as possible. However, they seem to be more specialized in the Kenya portion of the trip. The Tanzania part was likely outsourced, which resulted in a less than satisfactory experience there.
First, for the Mount Kilimanjaro itinerary, we were not informed in advance that the accommodation was a mountain camp instead of a hotel, so we didn’t know we need to bring sleeping bags and other essentials.
Second, when we were about to enter a certain reserve, the guide asked us to wait for an hour to avoid paying next day’s entrance fee. However, we had already paid extra for this ticket. Although the agent communicated with the guide promptly, it still negatively affected our travel experience.
Third, while we were waiting to witness the Great Migration, the vehicle seemed to have an issue. The guide didn’t inform us and simply decided to abandon the wait and drive straight to the camp for repairs. While I understand that fixing the car was urgent, they should have at least let us know.
What’s more surprising is that on the last day, they simply left us at the hotel and told us to either wait an hour for the hotel’s shuttle bus to the airport or pay an additional fee for a direct transfer.
Additionally, I had specifically requested three binoculars, and they agreed. While the vehicle in Kenya had them, the one in Tanzania only had one for the guide.
Overall, the service was average. I wouldn’t highly recommend them, at least not for the Tanzania portion. Their Kenya arrangements were acceptable though.
Amazing memories that will last a lifetime
Myself and my partner went on the 8 day Kenya/tanzania safari in October 2025, it was the most amazing trip we have ever been on and have made amazing memories that will last a lifetime.
Beth was amazing from the start, explaining everything thoroughly around the safari and helping with the booking process and any questions we had before we got there. She is extremely kind, friendly and professional. She met us on arrival and was also available throughout the safari if we needed anything at all.
Overall, we had the most amazing trip. Our highlight was the time we spent in Kenya (Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara) with our safari guide Rio- with him we spotted the Big Five in 1 day!! Absolutely amazing.
Rio was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable, professional, kind and was more than happy to maximise the amount of time we were out on a game drive. His ability to find animals was impeccable and was always willing to do the best for us, he had our best interests at heart and really listened to what we wanted throughout our time with him. His knowledge on animals is incredible, he explained every one we saw in detail even down to gestation period which we both found very interesting. To top it off, he helped my partner Jordan find the perfect spot to propose and really made it special- we can’t fault him at all and he really made our experience. Rio went above and beyond for us and is an absolute credit to the team.
Thank you so much again to Shanjoy, we’ve got amazing memories that will last a lifetime 😊

Pinch Me! Amazing!
We adored our experience! The safari exceeded our expectations! Excellent guides, well-paced days, clean and comfortable lodges, with responsive tour operators. Initially we were somewhat concerned about such a large sum of money with so many unknowns, but everything worked out beautifully! Very happy! And oh yeah... We saw all the animals!

Unforgettable Safari Adventure in Kenya and Tanzania
Our 10-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania was absolutely amazing! We saw all the animals we could ever hope for — from lions and elephants to giraffes and rhinos. The organizers took great care of us throughout the trip, tailoring the itinerary perfectly to our needs and preferences. Communication was excellent, and the guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help. One night we had to stay in a different hotel (not the guide’s fault), but they managed to get us a free room upgrade — even though other groups in the same situation didn’t get that. Everything was handled professionally and with genuine care. We truly had the experience of a lifetime and highly recommend this safari to anyone!
