Incredible support from before we booked until the end. Great communication and transparency
From the moment we began planning our trip to the Serengeti, we had several questions and considerations. Getting in touch with Shayona was very quick and easy — their communication was prompt, clear, and genuinely helpful. They guided us through every choice, ensuring the itinerary perfectly matched our needs. The booking process was seamless, and their consistent updates gave us complete peace of mind before and during the trip.
We were incredibly lucky to have the best guides for our safari — punctual, professional, and a lot of fun to spend time with. Their knowledge of the wildlife and landscapes made game drives super exciting. Even after hours in the vehicle, we were engrossed throughout. Thanks to their expertise and keen eyes, we spotted an impressive variety of animals and birds — truly the highlight of our journey. The safari vehicle itself was spotless, well-maintained, and surprisingly comfortable, even during long drives.
You could tell that every detail had been thought through to enhance our comfort and safety. Theres cold water and soft drinks in the vehicle as well.
Shayona Safaris took care of absolutely everything over the three days — from logistics to accommodations to meals — so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy. That sense of ease and trust made a huge difference, especially for a group visiting the region for the first time. Every dollar we spent felt completely worth it. We came away with some crazy memories and cannot recommend Shayona Safaris highly enough to anyone planning a Serengeti adventure.

Very nice~!!!
It is a very reliable travel agency. Ritesh replied very promptly. Revo, the tour guide, was very considerate and dedicated. He led us to look for the animals we wanted to see every day. Thank you for your dedication.

Mwanza - Seregeti Three Day Safari
We had the most amazing safari experience with Shayona Safaris throughout our three day safari from Mwanza to the Western and Central Serengeti! Ajay went above and beyond to accommodate our safari throughout exceptional circumstances and our Safari Guide Karim was brilliant! The safari exceeded all expectations and Karim was incredibly friendly and welcoming, as well as putting so much effort into securing us seeing four of the big five in one day! The Seregeti accommodation was also amazing! Would highly recommend Shayona Safaris to anyone looking!

Incredible Experience
We were traveling with our 5 months old baby and naturally, I had a lot of questions before for Ritesh and his team. Ritesh took the time and answered all my questions. I had made a few requests mainly for baby related things and the moment I got there, I saw everything was already there.
The safari ride went super smoothly as the guides were very helpful. Everytime I had to nurse the baby, the guide would slow down. They were all super accommodating.
Would highly recommend Shayona tours for your safari adventures!

Absolutely amazing and super convenient
It was a fabulous experience, we were a group of 12 friends also accompanied by 5 months old baby. We did 2 nights and 3 days safari with Shayona.
From the get go, four months before the visit, i was continuously in touch with the owner Ritesh. He was very responsive and accommodated all our small requests. He was very professional and at the same time extended support esp because we had an infant with us. The two guides we had Onesmo and Karim - very sweet, patient, professional and fun people. They made our experience outstanding. Couldnt have asked for better guides for us.
Thank you Shayona team for making our Serengeti experience memorable.

Nice, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly
This tour was incredible. The tour operators were so friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us so many interesting facts about the animals and they went out of their way to show us a good time and as many animals as possible. They were very professional, always on time, and made us feel welcome.

Doing Big 5 with Shayona and more
What a fabulous experience for the 6 of us travelling together with 4 safari locations in north Tanzania, we covered Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Manyara and fabulous Serengeti.
I would thoroughly request the services - Dharminder who was a driver and excellent guide throughout. Nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you to Ritesh and Ajay at Shoyona Safaries for organising a cracking tour.
We saw Leopards, Cheetah, Lions, 1 Rhino and lots of Zebras, Giraffes, Antelopes, Eagles, Vultures, Hyenas, Warthogs, Buffalos, Hippos and Wildebeests',
I would recommend Zuri Lodge for Serengeti stays which Shayona will co ordinate
