Professional in every aspect
5/5

I contacted a number of tour operators for my safari to Masai Mara. Shanjoy had the best package and price that suited my budget. Originally it was a 3 day tour, I wanted an extra day and Patrick from Shanjoy was able to make this happen. Communication with Patrick was extremely professional and Patrick tailored the tour for me. Patrick organised the flights, safari and airport transfer, in addition Patrick was able to recommend suitable hotels for me to stay in Nairobi. Patrick was also able to advise me on entry and exit requirements into Kenya.

The whole experience was 5 star, absolutely perfect. The Tipilikwani Mara Camp is fantastic, meals were first rate and all of the staff were wonderful. Tom was a fantastic guide and we saw so many beautiful sites. Speaking to the other guests at the camp, they all had wonderful experiences as well. Patrick from Shanjoy won't let you down. I highly recommend them.

Excellent service!!
5/5

I found Shanjoy Tours online when looking to organize a safari for some friends after my wedding. We were a big group (18) with people from overseas and was put in touch with Patrick. I would rate everything 10/10!! Since I was planning my wedding I did not have a lot of time, Patrick organized everyone and everything excellently. When it came time for the trip, it could not have gone more smoothly. Flights, hotels, game drives, knowledge of the park and animals everything was fantastic. We had a great time and the Shanjoy team took care of everything always with a smile on their face. Would highly recommend Shanjoy and in particular Patrick, he is the best! Asante sana we had the most memorable trip!!

Friendly, professional and a lot of fun.
5/5

The communication with Patrick was always constructive and fast. The game drives were outstanding and we saw the big five within 24 hours! The drivers made sure that we could see the most interesting places and animals at Massai Mara. Furthermore, the tents where we stayed were super comfortable with our own bathroom. The food in our Camp Enkorok was delicious and made with a lot of love. The Massai people who were at our camp were so friendly and welcoming. All in all a perfect Safari for us!

Patrick was incredibly friendly, helpful & knowledgeable from the moment we first contacted him
5/5

As mentioned above, from our first email interactions with Patrick from Shanjoy Tours he couldn't have been more helpful. We explained some ideas of what we'd like to do and he came back to us with a detailed itinerary, which was perfect for what we were looking for. He also provided us with all the accommodation booking confirmations and an invitation letter in order for us to get our Kenyan visas and would always respond very promptly. When we looked into booking a train from Nairobi to Mombassa and discovered it wasn't possible for us to make a reservation without having a Kenyan mobile phone (for mPesa), Patrick very kindly booked us return tickets with his own money, which we paid back on our arrival. An example of how he went out of his way to help us even when it was outside of the time we'd booked our tour with him.

Upon meeting Patrick when he picked us up from our B&B in Nairobi he was very welcoming and really friendly. We spent five days together going to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate and Amboseli. Everything went incredibly smoothly and we had an amazing time. The accommodation he'd booked was great and the safaris we did with him were so good. He was a very knowledgeable guide and we managed to see so many amazing animals. I'd definitely recommend Patrick/Shanjoy Tours based on our experience, from our initial interactions right through to the tour itself, he couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating and I feel we really got great value for money.

Great communication and customer service, an ideal safari experience!
5/5

The team had great communication with us throughout the booking process. Once there, the team were focused on making sure we had a great experience. They went the extra mile to get us seeing all the animals possible, and the whole thing was run at a timing and tempo of our choosing. These guys seem to be a small business that are keen to grow their client base and i would have no hesitation booking a safari with them again.

5/5

Mr. Patric is an owner of the shanjoy and he made our plan by communicating on Whatsapp, his responses were always very quick and accurate to our request, so I could trust him from the beginning. We had an amazing time in Kenya thanks to him and we will surely back to do some game drives again!

Shanjoy was great in communicating with us, to organize a perfect trip for the short stay we had in Kenya. Very helpful and accommodating.
The trip went great and we could stick to every plan we made!
The team is very knowledgeable on the parks and reserves - with great understanding on the flora and fauna.
Can’t wait to go back for another trip with them!
