Excellent value 10-day Kenya & Tanzania safari with smooth planning, great support, and guiding
5/5

Our family had the trip of a lifetime on a 10-day safari through Kenya and Tanzania, organized by Shanjoy Tours. From start to finish, the experience was handled with professionalism, care, and attention to detail.

Planning & Support
Martin was incredibly communicative throughout the planning process. He respected our inputs, reassured us whenever we had questions, and made sure everything was arranged according to our preferences. During the trip itself, he remained available for any issues or questions that came up, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s clear that Shanjoy truly cares about their clients and works hard to make sure every trip is both memorable and enjoyable.

Kenya Portion
We began in Kenya with our guide and driver, Steve, who took us to Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara. He was excellent at spotting wildlife and suggesting the best times and lengths for game drives. We also visited a Maasai village (an additional $35 per person), which was an interesting cultural experience to witness their dances and talk to them. Steve was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always attentive. He quickly began to feel like a childhood friend, and I would highly recommend requesting him as your guide if possible.

Tanzania Portion
At the border, we switched drivers as required by local regulations. There were a few initial misunderstandings when we first arrived, but Shanjoy handled everything smoothly and quickly, and the rest of the Tanzania tour went perfectly. We explored the Serengeti, staying in incredible tented accommodations where we could hear animals at night—an unforgettable experience to have an elephant literally next to your tent at night or hyenas cackling perhaps way too close by.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area was a highlight of the trip, with breathtaking views of the crater and an astonishing variety of wildlife all in one place. Tarangire National Park was another gem, where we saw herds of elephants and the iconic baobab trees that make the landscape so unique.

Optional Add-Ons
For those considering extras, hot-air balloon rides are mainly available at the Maasai Mara and Serengeti. They typically range from $400–$500 per person depending on the season and park. While pricey, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime way to experience the savannah from above.

Overall Impression
If we were to do this trip again, we would absolutely choose Shanjoy. The value was excellent, and they even surprised us with upgrades to our accommodations at Maasai Mara and in Arusha. Their professionalism, personal care, and dedication to ensuring we had a remarkable trip stood out at every stage. Also, if you are trying to catch the migration, perhaps book more for July time frame. We had just missed it by a week while visiting at the end of August/early September.

We cannot thank Martin, Steve, and the entire Shanjoy team enough for making this safari such a memorable experience for our family. If you're trying to figure out which tour operator to go with, don't look further.

AMAZING SAFARI EXPERIENCE!!
4/5

My wife and I had a blessed time during our time in Kenya and Tanzania. We planned our ittinerary with the help of Rodah at Shanjoy. We were able to see everything we wanted to see, started in Nairobi, then Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, cross the border to Tanzania, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, with our last stop being the Kilimanjaro National Park. All our guides were amazing, starting with Rio in Kenya who managed to show us all the big 5 and get us as close as possible to all of them. We also saw lions taking down a buffalo and Rio drove us to see the pre and post hunting scene.
In Tanzania, our guide, Mussa, did amazingly well game driving around the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. He drove us to to see the great migration, wildebeast crossing the Mara river, which it was an out of this world experience!
Last, we had a 2 day hike on the Kilimanjaro Mountains. Wilman and team, our hiking team, did amazingly well. They were there for us at all times. They made sure that we enjoyed every minute of our journey.
Kuddos to all our guides. They made our Safari and hiking experience unforgettable!!

Thanks Shanjoy team for making this lifetime experience possible!!

Ethical, informed, and respectful—travel that honored both land and legacy.
5/5

Ethical, respectful, and deeply connected to the land—this operator prioritized conservation and community. Guides shared local insights and ensured minimal impact on the ecosystem. A meaningful safari that honored both wildlife and culture. Special Thanks to Isaac. He was the best guide.

Extraordinary knowledge that transformed the mind
5/5

Our East Africa PHOTO Safari with **Shanjoy Tours** was nothing short of extraordinary — truly a bucket list experience that exceeded every expectation! From start to finish, the entire trip was flawlessly planned and executed with precision, care, and intention.

Beth handled every detail with such thoughtfulness, and it really showed — each experience felt personal and curated just for us. The accommodations were stunning, the food was incredible, and the people we met along the way made us feel like family.

Martin was so very helpful and available almost 24/7 for any questions during the planning process and arranged to meet us during our safari which was a nice personal touch.

We were fortunate to be hosted by **Patrick and Kem** for 11 unforgettable days. Their deep knowledge of wildlife, especially animal behavior, added so much depth to our game drives. Their ability to anticipate animal movements and position yhe custom Land Cruiser perfectly made for some of the most action-packed photo opportunities imaginable.

We received **5-star service** every step of the way and truly had a marvelous time. This was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure — and we’re already planning our next journey with Shanjoy in 2026!

**Highly recommend Shanjoy Tours** to anyone dreaming of a luxury, personalized safari experience. You will be in the best hands!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Adventure of a Lifetime!!!!!
5/5

Our safari with Shanjoy Tours through Kenya and Tanzania was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will treasure forever!

From the very beginning, Beth handled all the planning seamlessly. Every lodge and camp was perfectly chosen, especially The Zeebra Plains and Embalakai. Their hospitality was unforgettable, and the humbleness of the staff at each camp turned our trip into a truly living experience. The entire journey felt personal, safe, and thoughtfully curated.

We were a group of 16 family and friends, and coordinating such a large group can be challenging, but everything from smooth transfers to unforgettable game drives ran like clockwork.

We were incredibly lucky to travel with Patrick, the owner of Shanjoy and his incredibly caring and amazing team of drivers: Richard, Kim, Rio, Isaac, Issa, and Ledgar, whose expertise, sharp eye, and warm personality made every moment special. Each one contributing in their own unique way made our journey seamless, comfortable, and full of heart.

Whether it was spotting elusive wildlife or navigating tricky situations, Patrick and his team were true professionals. At one point, our vehicle suffered a tire blowout surrounded by a pride of lions, a nerve-wracking moment that Patrick and his team handled with calm, confidence, and care. What could have been a stressful situation became an unforgettable experience that was both fun and safe, an example of their incredible leadership and experience under pressure.

From witnessing the Big Five, to a rare sighting of a mother leopard and her two cubs at their den, to watching a cheetah take down its prey, every day was filled with awe and excitement. Add to that the joy of bonding as a group under the African skies, and you have something far more than just a tour, it was a journey of a lifetime led by people who genuinely care.

If you are looking for a safari that's thrilling, expertly run, and heartfelt, look no further than Shanjoy Tours. Patrick, Beth, Richard, Kim, Rio, Isaac, Issa, and Ledgar made this experience unforgettable in every way!

Highly, highly recommended!
