An amazing safari satisfing all our fantasy about Africa
5/5

We just had a great 10D/9N honey moon trip with Shanjoy. They customised our trip according to our requirments by taking us to Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Amboseli, covering Kenya and Tansania. Thanks to Shanjoy's ability which can operate in both countries, they transported and helped us switch cars twice across borders smoothly.
For our guides, Patrick2 in Kenya is a great guide. He was patient, knowledgable about all animals and had a good sence of boundary. We learned a lot animal facts from him which really broadened our knowledge.
The accomodation was good and the food was beyond our expectations. Except 1night in the camp in Serengeti, there was a total blackout the whole night because of a power failure. We had dinner with only 2 candles in the dark, couldn't charge our phone and cameras, and no shower since no electricity for hair dryer. And the camp didn't do anything to make up for this. It was a very unpleasant night.
For the animals, we saw all big5 and ugly5 and even one cheetah hunting scene. Since it was low season, there were very few cars and tourists on the road and didn't have to wait for longtime to take close look on animals. This experience was quite good.
So that's our feelings about this trip. Hope we can came back later in the future.

Jambo safari!
5/5

Great experience. A perfect logistic with an additional human touch that goes above professionality. Both guides, Rio in Kenya and Erick in Tanzania, donated us unforgettable moments (with the help of beautiful landscapes and a multitude of wild animals 😉). We recommend Shanjoy Safari to everybody.
5 stars like the Big 5.

Patrick reacted very efficiently to a very last minute booking request. He couldn’t have been more pleasant and worked overtime to make my trip easy

Shanjoy Tours curated an unforgettable safari experience from start to finish.
5/5

I just came back from an incredible safari in the Maasai Mara, organised by Shanjoy Tours. From the very first exchange, I knew I wanted to book with them. They were so easy to deal with & everything felt seamless from start to finish.

They arranged a 3 day trip for me staying at Tipilikwani Luxury Tented Camp, which included all meals & safaris. The camp was stunning, right on the edge of the Mara. Each morning, we crossed the river & climbed into our jeeps, & just like that, we were on safari. We saw so many animals & spotted all of the Big Five multiple times.

The guides (who are also the drivers) were amazing. They were knowledgeable, experienced & well connected with other drivers so they always knew where to go for the best sightings. The food at the camp was also fantastic, with great variety & generous portions.

Because I didn’t have time to drive both ways (it’s around 6 hours), Shanjoy organised flights & all transfers, which made everything so easy. On the day I left the Maasai Mara, I had about six hours free before my international flight, & they made the most of it. They picked me up from the airport, took me to the Giraffe Centre, helped me fit in some shopping, & finished it all off with a late lunch at the famous Carnivore Restaurant. Such a thoughtful & memorable way to end the trip.

Nothing was too much trouble. I would book with them again in a heartbeat & highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Special shout out to Rhoda, who was my go to in organising everything & kept me so well informed throughout. Also to Patrick Shanjoy himself, who personally looked after me, from airport pickups to taking photos at the Giraffe Centre & even helping me choose the best Kenyan coffee & tea to bring home. Their kindness & attention made the whole experience feel extra special.

Great Team!
5/5

I booked a 3 days fly safari to Maasai Mara in Tipilkwani Mara Camp.
First contact with Beth was absolutely fantastic, she was clear, fast and meeting all my needs. The booking process was easy and Beth could answer all my questions. Then, the safari itself was absolutely amazing, and the price was very fair. It was a pleasure to meet Patrick and Diana on the way to Wilson airport. I must say, it was first class service. The safari itself was absolutely wonderful, the lodging, the game drives, the food, Beth couldn't have chosen better otpions. Let me here thank all the team, Beth, Patrick, Diana and Martin who made my stay and safari memorable.
Payment was also made easy through online payment with credit card with a very reasonable charge.
I can only recommend Snajoy tours t9 anyone based on my experience.

Great value, perfect service, we enjoyed evry day
5/5

We had very good contact to Martin from Shanjoy. He and his colleagues tailered the quote to all our wishes.
Special thanks for the support as we had problems paying the online visa for Kenya. Great.
Our journey started from Nairobi to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Amboseli. Including a ballon flight over the Serengeti.
All 3 drivers gave us deep knowledge about the animals but also about other stuff. It is amazing how they spot animals while driving. We would never find most of the animals.
The middle class lodges were wonderful. Great meals, friendly staff, great service, very big rooms. Perfect.
Before and during the whole journey we got support from Shanjoy. Day and Night.
We recommand Shanjoy and would do everything again the same way.
