A super five-star safari, planned end to end
We just returned from an epic safari in Kenya, and Rodah, Kim and Rio from Shanjoy made it one of the most memorable trips we've ever taken.
From the start, they designed a customized itinerary around our needs and fit it to our target budget. They put real time and effort into getting every detail right and stayed in constant communication before, during, and even as we were departing Nairobi to come back home. Their recommendations and guidance gave us complete confidence that everything was handled, so we never had to worry. They covered the trip end to end, including excellent recommendations for all five of our accommodations and their pick of top guides.
Kim, our guide, was extraordinary. He shared a tremendous amount of insight about Kenya's culture, people, and customs, and gave us a deep understanding of every animal we saw. His knowledge of birds was five-star-plus. He is also a superb driver, and on long highway stretches of up to five hours, he kept us safe and always got us there on time. He also positioned us perfectly for photos, with animals in the foreground against sunsets and mountains.
Rio, our guide in the Mara, knows the terrain incredibly well, has deep knowledge and answered all our questions. Even with the crowds, he placed us where we could watch animals behaving naturally in their habitat.
We give this trip a super five stars and highly recommend Rodah, Kim, and Rio. Thank you also to everyone behind the scenes at Shanjoy. We are talking about this trip to all our friends and family and count it among our fondest memories.
Amazing and Seamless Experience Thanks to the Shanjoy Team!
Months before our trip, I reached out to a few well reviewed companies from this website. I heard from Beth at Shanjoy Tours right away and she was 100% invested in our satisfaction from the start. I had next to no idea what we should do, where we should stay, our transportation options, etc. She helped untangle all my ideas and weave a perfect itinerary to maximize our time in Kenya. She recommended some amazing lodges and activities. They booked and coordinated everything behind the scenes. I was promptly sent tickets and confirmations, and it was so easy to pay online. I was never worried we might be stranded, we were always alerted about our transportation, driver and pickup times ahead of time. I always had several people’s contact information and felt welcome to call/text them at any hour if we had any concerns or hiccups. They really prioritize their guest’s wellbeing, enjoyment and safety. They wanted to hear about our reviews of each of our hotels and activities, they appreciated honest feedback and took any concerns seriously. They especially prioritized safety! While on safari in Masai Mara, our guide Dereck was so knowledgeable, flexible and safe. He cleaned to car inside and out every day, performed needed maintenance, respected the park road rules and drove carefully. He not only knew everything about the animals but he really respected them! While other tours were getting way to close to some of the animals, he honored their space, boundaries, their safety and our safety. He was always attentive to when we might need a break, water, how to get the best photos etc, and he always had a plan ready for our next adventure. He plotted out the animal’s locations ahead of time so we were maximizing our days. We saw every animal possible, most more than once. We were so blessed with a smooth and fulfilling experience, thanks to Shanjoy. A once in a lifetime experience but I would trust them with a million more trips like this. Truly the best compared to other companies I talked to or that I have booked with in other countries. If you’re looking from friendly smiles and exceeded expectations on your holiday to Kenya, reach out to them now.
Unforgettable Honeymoon Experience!
Would definitely definitely recommend!
We wanted an unforgettable trip for our honeymoon and Shanjoy really delivered.
Beth was incredibly responsive, courteous, adaptive, and overall just really lovely to liaise with. She helped us create a crazy itinerary going to five different parks and reserves within both Kenya and Tanzania. She was truly brilliant, and organised everything whilst giving us a breakdown of costs when requested. The prices were competitive, and the service was very much luxury. Thank you Beth!
Our guides Rio (Kenya) and Mustafa (Tanzania) were both fantastic. Rio driving incredible distances, and still managing to organise time for us to do game drives as our preference, as well as teaching us about local culture and understanding where we were a lot better. Mustafa was just unbelievable at spotting game and describing nature and habits, really making the wildlife experience top notch. Thank you to both these funny and great guides who made our trip what it was.
You won’t be disappointed with Shanjoy, we certainly were very happy for our Honeymoon!
Thanks again!
Shanjoy was attentive, authentic, and responsive, making our once in a lifetime safari the best!
Shanjoy tours has made it easy to plan a once in a lifetime safari trip. From the start, Rodah was extremely helpful in answering our questions (there were a lot!) and giving her guidance and opinions for our itinerary. She was very attentive and listened to our preferences, and helped us build our itinerary that matched everything we wanted (and then some). We even requested to add things to our plan as late as 2 days before our trip and Rodah quickly updated our itinerary.
Our tour guides Steve and Dominic were excellent and very knowledgeable, giving us information on each species, with facts big and small that made it even more fun to spot animals we have not seen yet. They were quick to respond to sightings, and made sure to give us the best position for viewing and pictures. We were lucky to see the big five within our first 2 days of safari in Maasai Mara thanks to Steve and his impressive abilities to find Rhinos (he sure is dedicated!). Both Steve and Dominic incorporated our input and requests for what animals we would like to see (when possible) and tried their hardest to make sure we saw the animals we wanted to see. We also had Sam, the photographer, with us for our safari and he was amazing. He took portraits of us with the animals in the background, at sunset, took great pictures of the animals, and made sure all of our requests were met.
The transfers from park to park were seamless, and Rodah, Steve, and Dominic handle all the behind the scenes work at the airstrips making the process as easy as possible.
At our first stop in Nairobi, we went a little over board with souvenirs, and Rodah happily kept our souvenirs at the offices, and we collected them as we departed Kenya. Overall, Shanjoy made sure that we were happy from our first correspondence to the time we boarded our plane. We felt like we were their top priority, and that is what makes them stand out from their competitors. I would not hesitate to recommend Shanjoy, and I cannot wait to return for another safari with them!

Very well organised, great choices of accommodations, friendly drivers.
We booked a safari via Shanjoy tours, a group of 11 people, and we were all delighted with our choice of operator. Everything went smoothly, very efficient company not only on the admin side, but also great and friendly drivers doing everything possible to get us to see as many animals as we could. The accommodations booked throughout our 8 night sleepovers exceeded our expectations, with 2 nights in bush camps in northern and central Serengeti National Park. We all had a wonderful time and we all recommend Shanjoy tours & Safaris.
