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.

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.

We saw a lot, had fun, and got around safely!
5/5

We did a tour that went to Masai Mara, Serengheti, Ngorogoro Crater and Amboseli in 7 days, which was a lot! The company made all the arrangements and got us safely everywhere. We saw so many animals and beautiful sites and the guides were knowledgeable. There were some moments where communication about logistics for the day could have been clearer, but overall we had an amazing time!

Great Safari company
5/5

My partner and I did a 5 day Nakuru and Masai Mara safari in December 2024 and had a wonderful experience. This was my 6th safari so the bar was set high and I was happy with everything. Our guide and driver Patrick, took good care of us and was very knowledgeable. He made it his priority to find the big 5 for us. We stayed at Lion Hill game lodge in Lake Nakuru National Park, the room we had was ok and the buffet was really good. In Masai Mara we had a luxury room at Prideinn Mara camp and loved it! It was located in the park so it was very convenient for our game drives. I’ve never had so many close encounters with big cats as we did on this trip. Overall we would recommend Shanjoy.

Patrick with Shanjoy Tours and Safaris was the complete and best accommodating operator
5/5

This was my first safari and Patrick with Sanjoy Tours provided a wonderful day-to-day experience. From the moment I left the hotel and traveled to begin the safari I felt comfortable, excited, and completely enthralled with the beauty of the landscape, scenery, and all of the many types of animals.
Our driver provided detailed information about the different types of topography and animals.
I highly recommend a Safari African Tour with Sanjoy.

A knowledge, kind soul who truly cares about making sure guests have an amazing time.
5/5

We did the 3-day, 2-night safari tour and had an absolutely amazing time! Our group of 12 women was well taken care of by Patrick and his team, who were incredibly patient and attentive throughout the trip. The exceptional service started even before the safari, as Patrick organized a group chat to help us communicate, ask questions, and prepare for the experience.

Our adventure began in Nairobi, where half of our group was picked up for a scenic road trip, while the other half flew to the destination. The ride was safe, comfortable, and filled with fun conversations. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a delicious lunch, setting the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable trip.

That same day, we enjoyed our first game drive, and it was an incredible experience. Patrick and his team went above and beyond to ensure we made the most of our time. Over the course of the safari, we were thrilled to see all of the Big Five, with the lions being my personal favorite! We were lucky enough to see them on two different days, which was a highlight for me.

After the safari, we spent a full day back in Nairobi, where Patrick’s team organized visits to the iconic Giraffe Manor, followed by a delightful lunch and dinner. The entire experience was seamless and perfectly planned, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment.

I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a well-organized, safe, and unforgettable safari experience. Thank you, Patrick, and the team, for making this trip so special!

Shanjoy was very easy to work with and the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
5/5

Communication was easy and responses were quick. They were very accommodating with our itinerary requests. Everything went smoothly (outside of a missing suitcase upon arrival, which they were very helpful in helping us retrieve from the airport). The value for the money was outstanding compared to other quotes received. One piece of feedback is that we were not made aware that we would switch guides between Kenya and Tanzania, which would have been nice to know beforehand. Overall, 5 stars, highly recommend!

Great company that does everything tonmake the customer happy
5/5

We had a great experience, from the communication before the safari, the advise what to do and not to do, to the safari itself.
We had great knowledgeable drivers, they were nice and had very good communication skills while also staying professional. The camps and lodges selected were great overall, some better then the others of course. I would book again with Shanjoy if I go on another safari.

A misfortune turned out to be a good fortune!
5/5

I had the misfortune of having Bells Palsy during our 8-day Kenya-Tanzania Safari with Shanjoy Tours. Patrick and his Tanzania partner were so concerned that they moved us to Serena Lodge (a 4-star hotel in Tanzania) where a doctor is on call. The doctor attended to me and gave me medication. I stayed in the hotel to rest the next day and then proceeded to Serengeti for the game drive. Because there was a hospital in Karatu where we were billeted the next day, I went to the ER where the doctor ruled out anything serious. Our driver Abu was such an angel driving me to the hospital and the airport. I flew to Nairobi the following day where Patrick personally picked me up to drive me to my hotel. My misfortune turned out to be a good fortune to have our Safari with Shanjoy. Patrick went out of his way to deal with my medical issues as a “person”, not just a transaction with a “customer”. He was hands-on every step of the way and I truly appreciate it. I will always remember the kindness and concern Patrick and his Tanzania partner extended to me in my hour of vulnerability. Thank you so much!
