⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Safari Adventure of a Lifetime!
5/5

We were a group of 16 family and friends, and our safari with Shanjoy was absolutely unforgettable — from smooth transfers and comfortable lodges to an itinerary that blended adventure, relaxation, and breathtaking wildlife encounters.

A very special thank you goes to our guide Isiah, who made the journey truly exceptional. His knowledge, humor, and professionalism gave us the best experiences across Maasai Mara and Serengeti. In the Serengeti, our tire actually exploded right in the middle of a lion’s den surrounded by nearly 30 lions! While everyone was in shock, Isiah stayed calm, handled the situation with total confidence, and drove us to safety before fixing the tire. Earlier in the trip, he even changed a flat tire during our transfer so effortlessly that it barely slowed us down. His calm under pressure and incredible skill behind the wheel left us all truly impressed.

We also had an intense moment in the Maasai Mara, when our jeep got stuck dangerously close to a lion’s den. Thanks to Patrick’s quick thinking and expertise, we were freed quickly and safely. Beyond his skill, Patrick was fun, witty, and made us feel like one of our own — taking care of us like family while keeping the mood light and joyful for our big group.

And in the Serengeti, Isaac gave us one of the most unforgettable memories of all — taking us right to a leopard’s den where we saw a mother leopard resting with her two cubs. It was a once-in-a-lifetime sighting that we will never forget.

From start to finish, Isiah, Patrick, and Isaac took care of us and went above and beyond — keeping our group of 16 safe, comfortable, and amazed every single day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Adventure of a Lifetime!!!!!
5/5

Our safari with Shanjoy Tours through Kenya and Tanzania was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will treasure forever!

From the very beginning, Beth handled all the planning seamlessly. Every lodge and camp was perfectly chosen, especially The Zeebra Plains and Embalakai. Their hospitality was unforgettable, and the humbleness of the staff at each camp turned our trip into a truly living experience. The entire journey felt personal, safe, and thoughtfully curated.

We were a group of 16 family and friends, and coordinating such a large group can be challenging, but everything from smooth transfers to unforgettable game drives ran like clockwork.

We were incredibly lucky to travel with Patrick, the owner of Shanjoy and his incredibly caring and amazing team of drivers: Richard, Kim, Rio, Isaac, Issa, and Ledgar, whose expertise, sharp eye, and warm personality made every moment special. Each one contributing in their own unique way made our journey seamless, comfortable, and full of heart.

Whether it was spotting elusive wildlife or navigating tricky situations, Patrick and his team were true professionals. At one point, our vehicle suffered a tire blowout surrounded by a pride of lions, a nerve-wracking moment that Patrick and his team handled with calm, confidence, and care. What could have been a stressful situation became an unforgettable experience that was both fun and safe, an example of their incredible leadership and experience under pressure.

From witnessing the Big Five, to a rare sighting of a mother leopard and her two cubs at their den, to watching a cheetah take down its prey, every day was filled with awe and excitement. Add to that the joy of bonding as a group under the African skies, and you have something far more than just a tour, it was a journey of a lifetime led by people who genuinely care.

If you are looking for a safari that's thrilling, expertly run, and heartfelt, look no further than Shanjoy Tours. Patrick, Beth, Richard, Kim, Rio, Isaac, Issa, and Ledgar made this experience unforgettable in every way!

Highly, highly recommended!

Extraordinary knowledge that transformed the mind
5/5

Our East Africa PHOTO Safari with **Shanjoy Tours** was nothing short of extraordinary — truly a bucket list experience that exceeded every expectation! From start to finish, the entire trip was flawlessly planned and executed with precision, care, and intention.

Beth handled every detail with such thoughtfulness, and it really showed — each experience felt personal and curated just for us. The accommodations were stunning, the food was incredible, and the people we met along the way made us feel like family.

Martin was so very helpful and available almost 24/7 for any questions during the planning process and arranged to meet us during our safari which was a nice personal touch.

We were fortunate to be hosted by **Patrick and Kem** for 11 unforgettable days. Their deep knowledge of wildlife, especially animal behavior, added so much depth to our game drives. Their ability to anticipate animal movements and position yhe custom Land Cruiser perfectly made for some of the most action-packed photo opportunities imaginable.

We received **5-star service** every step of the way and truly had a marvelous time. This was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure — and we’re already planning our next journey with Shanjoy in 2026!

**Highly recommend Shanjoy Tours** to anyone dreaming of a luxury, personalized safari experience. You will be in the best hands!
