Shanjoy Tours provides an amazing experience for a family adventure.
5/5

Everyone we interacted with at Shanjoy Tours were fantastic and exceptional in every area. Patrick provided an amazing itinerary and was very accommodating when we asked to adjust it. The communication with Beth was always prompt and thorough. Our booked accommodations were all great (wished we had a little more time to enjoy them). All of the meals and packed lunches/breakfasts were good. The 8 day tour with added Nairobi excursions was amazing. Our family of four (with 11 year old twin boys) were well taken care of each step of the way. Our tour guides/drivers, Tony (Kenya side) and Erick (Tanzania side), were absolutely exceptional. The knowledge of the animals and knowing where to take us in the large parks to see all the different types of animals was fantastic and we have to commend them for the long driving days and early mornings (including picking us up at Nairobi airport for our 4am arrival). We had long days in the safari vehicle, but it was very comfortable and we were always energized as soon as we got into any of the parks for the game drive portions of the trip. I can't say enough good things about the people who work at Shanjoy Tours.

5/5

Patrick and the Shanjoy team were responsive, prompt and extremely easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable about the animals, the Mara and the Massai. As a result, we did not have to worry about anything other than the times to be ready for. Patrick and his team arranged everything down to the smallest details. We had a group of 12 people and all of our needs were met. The vehicles were comfortable which made me feel secure. My safari was a magical because we experienced the majesty and wonder of the Massai Mara. I had such a great experience that I will use ShanJoy Tours for another safari adventure in the future!

Absolutely Amazing
5/5

We had the best time of our lives with our tour guides Patrick, Tony, David and our local photographer Sam. We were treated like long lost family members and our time together will always be memorable and special. They were always on time and patient even when we weren’t. They gave their all to our group of crazy ladies. Highly recommend Shanjoy tours if you’re ever so blessed to visit Kenya!

The tour operator is a charismatic and humorous individual who effortlessly engages with everyone.
5/5

I recently had the pleasure of joining a safari trip organized by Shanjoy Tours & Safari with a group of 12 friends and family, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Patrick, truly made the adventure exceptional. From the moment we entered the reserve, his professionalism and enthusiasm shone through.

Patrick and his crew worked seamlessly together, ensuring that our safari was not only safe but also filled with excitement. We were fortunate enough to see four of the Big Five, with the buffalo being the only one we missed because it’s difficult to find. Patrick's extensive knowledge of the wildlife and their habitats enhanced our experience, and his effective communication kept us informed and engaged throughout the trip.

What I appreciated most was how well Patrick accommodated our group’s needs. Whether it was adjusting our route to maximize wildlife sightings or providing insights about the animals we encountered, he was always attentive and responsive. His positive attitude was infectious, making our time in the reserve even more enjoyable.

Additionally, I requested a photographer to help capture our memories, and Patrick arranged for Sam. Sam was fantastic—he knew just the right moments to snap and quickly uploaded the photos for us to share and cherish. It was great to have such a skilled photographer on hand, allowing us to focus on enjoying the experience without worrying about capturing it ourselves.

Overall, I highly recommend Shanjoy Tours & Safari for anyone looking to embark on a safari adventure. With Patrick leading the way, you're in excellent hands. Thank you, Shanjoy Tours, for a remarkable experience that we will treasure for years to come!

The best and most welcoming tour guide
5/5

The tour guides and drivers were all great. They were very prompt with time and very professional! As days went on with the tour we became a big huge family! Lots of laughs and fun. We loved Patrick, Tonie, Sam, David and everyone! The tour itself was absolutely breath taking and we loved Game driving! We listened to music, danced, laughed, took pictures and enjoyed every minute.

Shanjoy + Basecamp Masai Mara Trip
5/5

Beth and everyone else at Shanjoy were quick to respond and very communicative in the booking and preparations for my trip. I was booked at the Masai Mara Basecamp during my time in the Mara - the grounds and tents were lovely, staff was very friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious.

A tour operator that you will not regret choosing for a wish list vacation
5/5

I can honestly say we were extremely happy with our choice of using Shanjoy and would totally recommend them and use them again.
Patrick the owner delivered in all areas and our accommodations exceeded expectations for almost everywhere.
Our personal tour guide was another Patrick and he was very knowledgeable, flexible and did everything he could to please and ensure a fantastic vacation experience, and with complete success. His experience was evident. The only thing he ‘could not order’ was for us to see a kill or a close up feeding of a kill, but knew we would have to be lucky for that.

Amazing tour, wonderful help with food allergies
5/5

Our family of 5 had an amazing experience on our Masai Mara tour with Patrick. He helped us arrange hotels that would be a good fit for my daughter's gluten-free food needs (celiac). She never got sick once, which is quite a difficult thing to accomplish when changing locations so much. We appreciate Patrick's attention to detail and help in booking the best options for our needs. The tour itself was all we hoped for and more, he helped us take in so much more beauty then we could have ever seen on our own. Thank you, Patrick!

The entire itinerary was arranged very well and had a great experience. The hotel, vehicles, and guides were all very good. When we encountered problems, they actively helped us solve them. We hope to have the opportunity to experience Africa again. Thank you very much

This trip was everything we could have hoped for, thank you Shanjoy Tours!
5/5

We booked with this company because their communications were excellent and they offered a private tour. We felt we got good value for money as our game drives were longer than those offered by many competitors. All 3 of our driver/guides were extremely knowledgeable. We honestly could not have asked for more. Happy to recommend this company to anybody thinking of booking.
