Attentive
4/5

Me and my wife did the 7 days Kenya and Tanzania tour. Martin was our tour operator agent. He was communicative and responsive to all requests and doubts. The tour was well planned with him and all accommodations were excellent. The tour guide for the Kenya part, Nelson, was one of the best tour guide we have ever had. He was nice, communicative, and he was always explaining interesting facts about the animals. On the opposite side, the tour guide for the Tanzania part, Mackenzie, was not communicative and he should be more friendly to the clients (reason because of 4 star rating). All in all, we had a great safari, we saw the big 5 and many animals. I would choose again Shanjoy Tours for a safari

Shanjoy Tours and Safaris kept us safe!
5/5

If you are reading my review to decide if you should take an African safari or not, I am not going to waste your time describing how beautiful and majestic the wildlife, landscapes and people we saw were. TRUST ME, everyone and everything we observed on our trip was a 1000-times more amazing than what we ever expected!
The folks at Shanjoy Tours and Safaris kept us safe and went out of their way to accommodate us when things, beyond their control, didn't go as planned!
When we touched down in Nairobi, our bags didn't. We were grateful that our hosts of Shanjoy Tours waited over three hours for us to exit the airport after clearing the Passport/Visa check point and reporting our luggage lost to the one poor guy who was working the lost bags booth. Yes, we waited in two very long lines!
Before we got to our hotel around midnight, we were told we needed to leave Nairobi earlier than planned the following morning due to the Gen Z protests. Sleeping in wasn't an option.
When we arrived at our hotel, we were met by another Shanjoy host (I wish I knew all their names) who patiently helped me make arrangements for another Shanjoy guide to pick up our luggage at the airport the following day. Since we were starting our safari the next morning, there was no chance we could retrieve our luggage the following night at the airport.
After check in, we took much-needed showers, slept about four hours, ate breakfast, met our guide David in the lobby, and jumped into his Land Cruiser. And like that, off we went for an amazing journey! Before we entered the parks, David took us to a couple shopping malls outside the city so that we could buy new clothes and toiletries.
The parks we visited-- Masai Mara National Reserve, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Nakuru National Park, Amboseli National Park and Central Serengeti National Park-- were otherworldly! The wildlife was breathtaking! Our lodging and the food at all of the resorts we stayed were first rate! But most of all, we will never forget the grace and hospitality of the people of Kenya and Tanzania.
Our trip did end sooner than expected (only a few hours) when more Gen Z protests broke out throughout Kenya on our final day. Elijah, our experienced guide, planned a route that took us away from the blocked roads, fires and deadly clashes between the protesters and police. To be honest, we were concerned, but Elijah's composure was calming, especially when a smoky Nairobi silhouette appeared on the horizon, reminding us of images of 9/11.
My wife and I would certainly return to visit Nairobi and take another safari with Shanjoy! If you book your trip with them, be sure to read all the materials they send, buy the recommended travel insurance and secure your travel visas with plenty of time. Also pack extra clothes on your carry on!
Thank you Shanjoy Tours who went above and beyond for us; keeping us safe, returning our luggage to us under an acacia tree in the middle of a lion-filled African plain, and arranging an incredible trip that we will never forget!

Best experience ever
5/5

Everything was amazing!

From the start, Rodah was really helpful and gave us all the information needed.

First we stayed at zebra plains camp which was amazing. The food, staff and drinks were great.
Our tour guide in Kenya,- Patrick, knew a lot and he made sure we got the best pictures and to see all the animals that we wanted.

In Serengeti, we stayed at heritage Mara camp and osinon camp, both camps are in the park so the experience was awesome. We could hear the wild animals at night and both camps didn’t have fence which made the experience even better.

Finally we visited the crater and we stayed at farm of dreams lodge. The lodge was beautiful and it had all the facilities that you could imagine.

Our tour guide in Serengeti was Eric and he was really helpful and he knew a lot. Also he shared a little bit about the Tanzanian culture.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Shanjoy, the experience was amazing. Everyone was kind and attentive and the best thing is that we didn’t worry about anything, everything was covered.

Also, at the beginning we were going to stay two nights at osinon camp which is on the center of Serengeti, but Shanjoy asked us and we stayed one night in the north(heritage camp) so that we could see the great migration. It a was a change that made all of the difference. We were really grateful that they asked us and they considerate what we wanted to see.

Going above and beyond
5/5

Shanjoy tours are very well thought through. Everything was seamless and there was never any waiting for them to pick us up anywhere.

Knowledgeable and responsible
5/5

Reliable company with really knowledgeable, friendly and helpful guides! It was our first safari in Kenya and Tanzania, and we had the best time. In Kenya, Rio was our driver and he was amazing. He was very clear in communicating daily itinerary with us, super knowledgeable about the animals, and always very helpful when we need any help. Super punctual at agreed times, and always making sure we get to see as many animals as possible. We collected the Big 5 just in the first 2 days of the tour! In Tanzania, Ely was our driver. He was energetic and thoughtful. He really vibed with my husband and made the trip really lighthearted and fun. With both drivers, we saw a lot of close up intimate moments of the animals. Their English was very good so there was nothing lost to translation. Apparently Rio even speaks Spanish and German! We had Arthurman as our driver for 2 hours when we were travelling to the Tanzanian border - he even gave us a short guide on the way! When we had any questions, Martin was always there to give an answer. Overall, we highly recommend shanjoy! The guides and drivers were more than amazing, and we can’t fault the company for anything!
