Turned the unknown into an easy, seamless adventure!
Wow!! When asked how our trip went, it was wonderful. Rodah was beyond helpful in helping us plan our last minute honeymoon adventure. We have never traveled to Kenya so there were a lot of unknown factors that Rodah made super easy. From booking our bush flights to the hot air balloon to ensuring our honeymoon was special was amazing and took the stress out of planning from far away. Staying at Kichwa Tembo was amazing. We would 100% book with Shanjoy tours again for our next adventure!

Great Safari
We had a great 7-day safari with Shanjoy Tours and Safaris. Everything was perfectly organised, from the smooth transfers to the well-chosen lodges and amazing game drives.
A huge thank you to Patrick, our driver and guide, who made the entire experience unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, professional, and always went the extra mile to make sure we were safe, comfortable, and enjoying every moment.
Also, a big thanks to Beth in the office, who was always quick to respond and incredibly helpful whenever we had questions or needed assistance.
We highly recommend Shanjoy to anyone looking for a reliable and personalised safari experience in Kenya!

Incredible Safari! Professional booking, Big 5, Expert guide, and Top-Notch Service Throughout
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience from start to finish. I chose Shanjoy Tours and Safaris because of Rodah’s quick responses to my emails — she answered every question promptly and thoroughly, which gave me confidence right from the start. She worked hard to stay within our budget while still providing excellent advice on choosing a vehicle custom made for photographers, selecting accommodations that perfectly matched our needs, and recommending what to do and where to go to make the most of our time in Kenya. Her attention to detail and helpful suggestions made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable.
Once we arrived, our guide Patrick was the best guide we could have asked for. Professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled at finding wildlife, he prioritized exactly what we wanted to see and worked tirelessly to make it happen. Patrick was timely in picking us up each day, and his sharp eye and expertise meant we saw the Big 5 and so much more. He was quick to get us to locations when other guides radioed about an incredible sighting, ensuring we never missed a moment.
From the first email to the last game drive, every detail was handled with care and excellence. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we owe it to the amazing team at Shanjoy Tours and Safaris who made it happen.
Overall excellent safari experience
Overall an excellent safari experience with Shanjoy. Our driver guide in Tanzania, Erick, was highly professional and truly exceptional. My number one goal was to see the migration river crossings and he made sure we achieved this! I’m very happy we chose to book with Shanjoy. They were very responsive and helpful from start to finish.

Absolutely Incredible Honeymoon Safari – Flawless from Start to Finish!
We cannot recommend Shanjoy Tours and Safaris highly enough! We booked our honeymoon safari to Kenya and Tanzania just two months in advance, hoping to pull off something truly special—and Shanjoy delivered beyond our expectations.
After reaching out to a few companies, Shanjoy immediately stood out. They were the *only* ones to respond quickly, and the level of detail and clarity in their quotes gave us instant confidence. We knew right away they were the right choice.
From the moment we got in touch, Martin was amazing—he patiently answered all our questions (and there were many!). Whether it was malaria concerns, specific lodges, or itinerary tweaks, he was always warm, informative, and incredibly responsive. His support made the whole planning process feel easy and stress-free.
Once on the ground, the experience was absolutely seamless. From the first day we were picked up, it was non-stop adventure—but without having to arrange anything or make any decisions. Everything was taken care of so we could just relax and enjoy.
We started our safari in Kenya with Rio, and within the *first two days*, we saw the Big Five—unbelievable! The transfer to Tanzania was super smooth, and there we met Ledgar, who was a phenomenal guide. He had a real passion for wildlife and even helped us witness a lion hunting—an unforgettable moment.
Our final guide, Richard, was just as kind and knowledgeable. We really appreciated having different guides along the way—they each brought unique perspectives, stories, and deep knowledge, making every part of the trip enriching. On the last day we decided to do something else that wasn't originally planned in the itinerary and they were able to accommodate that request without any issue.
Every single lodge and accommodation Shanjoy booked for us was stunning—thoughtfully chosen, comfortable, and perfectly located.
If you’re looking for a tour company that genuinely *cares* about their clients, look no further than Shanjoy. This was the trip of a lifetime, and we are so grateful to them for making our honeymoon unforgettable.
Thank you, Shanjoy team!

Attentive
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!
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
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.

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