Incredible Safari! Professional booking, Big 5, Expert guide, and Top-Notch Service Throughout
5/5

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.

Great Safari
5/5

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!

Turned the unknown into an easy, seamless adventure!
5/5

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!

A Magical Safari Experience – Beyond All Expectations!
5/5

We had the most incredible safari experience with Shanjoy, and it’s a trip we will remember for a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized — smooth transfers, comfortable accommodations, and a well-planned itinerary that balanced adventure, relaxation, and breathtaking wildlife encounters.

A very special mention goes to our guide, Rio, who truly made the experience exceptional. Rio was not only highly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems of the Maasai Mara, but also deeply passionate, patient, and incredibly intuitive. Thanks to his expert tracking skills and understanding of animal behavior, we saw everything from a cheetah hunt to a river crossing!

Rio also went above and beyond to ensure we were safe, comfortable, and fully engaged throughout the drive. We learned so much from him, and his warm personality and sense of humor made every moment enjoyable.

Highly recommended.

Big Five, Cheetah Kill & Lions Up Close – Unforgettable!
5/5

Our safari with Shanjoy Tours through Kenya and Tanzania was the adventure of a lifetime! Beth organized everything seamlessly, and we were lucky to travel with Patrick, the owner, whose knowledge, sharp eye, and warm personality made every game drive unforgettable.

We saw the Big Five, witnessed a cheetah take down its prey live, and even experienced a tire blowout surrounded by a pride of lions—which Patrick handled calmly and confidently. Every lodge and camp was perfectly chosen, and the entire trip felt personal, safe, and thoughtfully planned.

If you want a safari that’s thrilling, well-organized, and led by people who truly care, look no further than Shanjoy Tours. Patrick and Beth made this a journey we will treasure forever!

Seamless logistics, amazing guides, unforgettable safari
5/5

We just returned from an unforgettable safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Shanjoy, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Even with a group of 16 people, everything was handled seamlessly, from the beautiful lodges the helped us select to the incredible team of drivers who made every game drive exciting, safe, and fun.

A special thank you to Beth, who did a fantastic job helping to coordinate all of the planning and logistics before the trip. Patrick, joined us throughout the trip as our guide and host. His knowledge, warmth, and dedication made the experience truly exceptional. Thanks to his leadership and the persistence of the amazing team of drivers, we saw the entire Big Five, including leopards and rhinos which are often the hardest to find.

The adventure was filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments, from breathtaking wildlife sightings to the unexpected ones like two flat tires and even getting stuck in the mud next, both of which happened right next to a pride of lions on separate occasions. Even then, the team kept us safe, calm, and laughing, turning challenges into unforgettable stories.

This trip exceeded every expectation. The combination of thoughtful planning, expert guiding, and the personalities of the entire Shanjoy team made it so much more than just a safari. It was an experience we will carry with us forever. If you are considering a safari, choose Shanjoy. They are simply the best!

Exactly what I hoped for
5/5

Our safari trip to Kenya and Tanzania this August with Sanjoy Tours was an absolute dream come true, and we cannot recommend them highly enough! From the very beginning, the team was incredibly responsive and worked diligently to customize the entire itinerary to fit our budget, without compromising on the experience.
​Every detail was perfectly planned, from the seamless travel between countries to the wonderful accommodations. The real highlight, however, was our guide, Patrick. He was absolutely awesome! His knowledge of the wildlife, the local culture, and the parks was incredible, and his keen eye for spotting animals ensured we saw everything we had hoped for and more. His passion and friendly demeanor made every day an exciting adventure.
​Sanjoy Tours delivered a five-star experience that exceeded all our expectations. If you're planning a trip to Africa, look no further. We will definitely be using them again for our next adventure!

A Safari to Remember for Years!
5/5

If you are looking to book a safari in Kenya/Tanzania, look no further. Patrick and his team of Shanjoy Tours and Safaris will definitely exceed your expectations as they did ours. They specialize in customized tours of your interests and budget. 16 of us came to this trip to celebrate our best friend's 40th birthday. And boy did we celebrate!

The knowledge, experience, friendliness, hospitality, and professionalism of both Kenya and Tanzania team along with Patrick blew us away. I have many lovely stories from this trip that I'll be sharing with my friends and family for years to come.

Our 8 day journey went from Nairobi to Maasai Mara to Serengeti to Ngorongoro to Tarangire and finishing in Arusha where we left for 3 more days to Zanzibar. Every accommodation arranged were cozy, comfortable and safe. The hospitality of each resort were excellent. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and always looking for new experiences for us. We were lucky enough to see a killing on our very first day. Guides knew where all the animal activities were and how to find them. All of our game drives were eventful. We had tons of fun. Best of all - Patrick and his guides had fun with us!

I can go on and on but let me finish here. Look no further - just book with Shanjoy Tours!
