Incredible safari and city tour with Shanjoy - highly recommended
Our experience with Shanjoy Safaris was absolutely fantastic. The safari was incredibly well planned and smoothly organized, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment without worrying about logistics. The communication and organization through Patrick was exceptional!
In addition, Patrick spent a lot of time with us guiding us through Nairobi with highlights like the Giraffe Centre and deep local and cultural experiences like visiting Kibera. From start to finish, the service was excellent, and we truly felt in safe hands the entire time. We would gladly travel with Shanjoy Safaris again and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Kenya.
Exceptional quality staff & experience
Family group 10 day tour of Kenya, Tanzania with Zanzibar added to itinerary. Adults including 20 y.o son's.
Friend highly recommended this company after their experience.
Communication via WhatsApp with Martin was prompt, easy to discuss what our preference for accommodation We aimed for mid level but felt all the accommodation was 4+, higher quality than expected.
Additional request accommodated, arranged local tours in Nairobi prior to Safari as arrived earlier.
Guides Patrick through Kenya - had also guided our friends earlier in the year. Such informative person on animals and Birdlife. Excellent driving on difficult to roads and through traffic. Listened to our request on few minor changes. Well dressed, we respected his advice.
Amos was our Tanzanian guide- less time with him but also superior knowledge, driving skills. Excellent eyesight for spotting animals. Well dressed, genuine too.
Highly recommend both guide- they are an important part of the Safari experience.Commication was always clear, always prepated.
You can request them in advance.
I had some ideas about national parks etc. Discussed with Martin and so glad I listened to his recommendation.
This was my major wish and it exceeded my expectations. The animals, I could watch all day. We saw all the usual and more. Bat eared fox family, families of cheetah, amazing birds, leopard tortoise and the rhinoceros. Food, all high quality even in the Serengeti. More than you can eat.
Safety was important to me, especially bringing my family. We never had any concerns. Safes in all accommodation. The staff were so polite, kind. Enjoyed our conversation with different people about their lives etc.
It is expensive for Australians( paying in US$) but most of the cost was upfront so I knew and paid severely prior. Also we added a relaxing holiday on Zanzibar -Breezes spoilt us with beautiful beach view.
Additional costs include tipping and drinks.
It was worth every cent for the seamless, security and experience.
Amazing customer experience, and an exceptional tour guide (Rio)!!
This was our first trip to Africa and we wanted to have the best experience possible. There are so many tour operators that it made it difficult to select as they all seemed to offer similar experiences. We selected Sanjoy Tours because they separated themselves from the rest with their prompt responses and their willingness to customize our experience. We had 3 incredible days with our tour guide Rio. My wife and I really enjoyed his knowledge of the local culture and animals, and his ability to get us in front of the animals that we wanted to see most. He ev got us up close to a baby elephant (that my wife had been wanting from day 1). We look forward to bringing out entire family back and we can only hope that Rio is still there to give that same experience to our kids😄

A professional and helpful team that gave us an incredible safari experience
We had an excellent experience with Shanjoy, we booked an 8 day safari covering Kenya and Tanzania and everything went well since our first communication for booking and planning, responses were always quick and thorough. Beth and the team at the office stayed in contact with us throughout our trip to make sure all went as planned.
Our first guide on the Kenyan side, Rio, was very professional and knowledgeable, we were able to see a great variety of animals on our first days thanks to his expertise. Besides English and Swahili, he is also fluent in Spanish and German son communication was never an issue.
On the Tanzanian side, our guide Isaac was also very professional and helpful and always quick to spot animals in the bush, he is also a mountain guide so he has a lot of experience in the field.
Back in Kenya, our last guide Tio was very friendly and talkative, and overall all the staff made sure that our experience was excellent in every way.
Would 100% recommend Shanjoy for your next safari!

A wonderfully prepared and delivered experience for a lifetime!
We thoroughly enjoyed our safari with Shanjoy Tours and Safaris. We knew we wanted to find a tour operator to arrange a trip starting in Nairobi, including Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. We chose the tour operator after contacting several providers on this route. From the beginning, Shanjoy offered the most attractive price-performance ratio, their offer was perfectly prepared and presented, and their representative Rodah was always available for questions and minor adjustments. Patrick accompanied us on the Kenyan side and Isaya on the Tanzanian side. Both had exceptional knowledge of the local nature and the animals we were tracking, they could read their behavior, predict how the situation would develop, communicate with other guides and rangers, and always ensure we had the best possible experience. This was not our first safari trip to East Africa, but we are leaving with truly beautiful memories and lots of incredible photos. During our trip, which lasted only a few days, we saw the complete Big Five and Ugly Five. The Serengeti in particular exceeded all our expectations, with such an abundance of animals, including observing well over 100 lions, several leopards, and many others, often at close range, which we never dreamed of... We chose the mid-range safari option, and the accommodation we selected met all our needs. We felt that both guides took excellent care of us, and Rodah kept us backed from afar, regularly checking in to see how our trip was going and always ready to resolve even the smallest issue. I can recommend Shanjoy with a clear conscience, and when I want to return to this area, I will gladly turn to them again.
