The best tour operator across all aspects of a safari.
I travelled to Kenya and Tanzania with my husband and teenagers to experience a safari operator by Shanjoy and our expectations were surpassed. I have done many safari's and this was the best. Right from the start Shanjoy out perform others. We communicated with Patrick and Beth many times to plan a lengthy safari and they were very responsive to our requests and communicative. Shanjoy are also very trustworthy and the recommendations that they provided were fantastic and they were not trying to lead us into arrangements that were easier for them. Overall this company if highly ethical and wants to provide a wonderful and memorable safari to its clients.
They are a company that is passionate about wildlife and Africa in general. The company is very experienced within the Safari sector and this experience is to the travellers benefit. The staff are continually visiting and appraising safari lodges and ensuring that quality is maintained over time.
One of the best elements that Shanjoy has to offer is their experienced guides. If you are travelling in Kenya I highly recommend Kim as a guide. He is the ultimate veteran and professional. He has decades of experience and when you drive into a park he engages with huge enthusiasm for all wildlife and nature. It is as if he is seeing it for the first time and as he says it each day offers something different. His knowledge about all animals, including birds is superior and he is also skilled at understanding the landscape and finding animals. He is also one of the nicest people ever.
Our guide Kim knew staff at all lodges which was very advantageous when I needed to see the lodge nurse and he had her direct number! Kim made sure that everything was in place and going well for us everyday and paid attention to all the details that made our holiday a smooth experience, and is the standard provided by Shanjoy.
After several safari's I can't recommend Shanjoy enough and would definitely use them again.

Amazing and Shanjoy made it a trip of a lifetime!
Everything from start to finish was excellent. Shanjoy worked very closely with us to customize the perfect trip from start to finish. From customizing accommodations to the ones we wanted (even specific preferences as to rooms), while on the game drives taking our preferences as to animals, timing etc. into account, to helping with boarder crossings/VISA information to make sure the whole trip felt effortless and we could just enjoy! They made everything perfect. Shanjoy's communication was excellent and always made us feel like their main goal was for us to have the exact trip we wanted. Beth and Rodah were amazing. Our guide Kim was also amazing with a wealth of information and was a true ornithologist at heart! We would wholeheartedly recommend Shanjoy to anyone (and already have to friends and family!)

An Unforgettable Safari with Shanjoy – Highly Recommended!
We had a wonderful tour with Shanjoy. Even before the trip, communication with Rodah was excellent, she answered every single question and prepared us perfectly for the safari.
Our guide in Kenya, Rio, was fantastic. He speaks English as well as German and Spanish, and he was extremely reliable, guiding us brilliantly throughout the Kenyan leg of our safari. With him, we saw the Big Five up close, and he shared a wealth of background information along the way. The safari was truly unique and absolutely worth experiencing. We always felt safe and well taken care of.
The border crossing into Tanzania went smoothly too, and our new guide, Haji, was already there to welcome us. He also guided us wonderfully through the national parks, and we got to see so much.
We felt completely at ease with Shanjoy and with both guides, Rio and Haji, and we can warmly recommend Shanjoy to anyone. Many thanks to the entire team!

The experience was beyond our wildest dreams.
Shanjoy tours went above and beyond making our Safari the best experience ever. Our guide Steve was not only extremely knowledgeable, but seriously fun. For us he was perfect. He found all of the five animals we went to see and also many more. The accommodations and food were great, neither of us had any issues . Steve made sure that we got to see not only the animals, but our visit to the Masai village left me with a deep respect for these wonderful people, and a time that I will never forget

We went on safari with Patrick in February. The safari was absolutely fantastic. Thanks to Patrick, we had unforgettable wildlife sightings and encounters. Patrick is very friendly and helpful. We learned a lot about nature and the country from him. He is a wonderful, experienced guide and knew exactly where to go and where to stop. He is passionate about nature and wildlife. We would love to come back and highly recommend Patrick as a guide.

Strong customer focus, attentive to detail, and adaptable
We had a wonderful experience during our nearly 2 week trip to Kenya. Everything was thoughtfully planned by Rodah, who was fantastic to work with - kind, attentive and very easy to work with. She organized the entire trip perfectly, responded quickly and adapted easily to almost every request.
The trip itself was absolutely amazing. Kimani was our driver throughout the journey and he was incredibly flexible and accommodating our needs, especially as I was travelling alone with two children. He made the whole experience smooth, comfortable and stress-free.
We absolutely recommend Shanjoy and Kenya. We will travel back with them again.

Excelent!
They took care of everything perfectly from the start! Rodah was always very attentive, and our guides were spectacular! We had Rio in Kenya and Eric in Tanzania. In both places, we were able to see the Big Five! We were very happy with the trip!!

Excellent Kenyan/Tanz Safari!
We just had a great 11 day Safari with Shanjoy Tours and Safaris in Kenya and Tanzania. Good people and very responsible.
They took excellent care of us and worked with us for some changes we made along the way and did a great job taking care of us and working with us and staying flexible. We felt safe, saw lots of animals, had some good adventures and met interesting people. I would highly recommend them and we hope to use them again. Special compliments to the various guides we worked with; Patrick, Diana, Oliver(?)David, Patrick, Samuel, and all were great.
I would HIGHLY recommend the Balloon trip over Masai Mara; That was fabulous and well worth it. See some pictures below.
Thanks again for a truly memorable experience!

Absolute professionals who know what they are doing
We booked our Safari with Shanjoy and had an amazing experience. Our guide in Kenya was Rio and he was so personable and knowledgeable. We saw The Big Five and he really went out of his way to take care of us. In Tanzania, our guide was Isaya. Another great guide. Like Rio, he taught us so much and showed us the beautiful animals in Tanzania. Overall, I would highly recommend Sanjay for your Safari. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent service with speedy communication and wonderful guides
I had a wonderful experience with shanjoy. From the start they were very quick to respond, and were very flexible with the exact itinerary and hotels and dietary requirements. We were pampered throuhgout the trip and the guides provided us with excellent informaiton and a keen eye for spotting animals as we were able to see all the big 5. The car was comfortable with water always provided and the camps and hotels were perfect. We found it to be excellent value for money and the service exceeded all our expectations. Overall we had a perfect trip with shanjoy and would highly recommended to anyone else
