Incredible communication and made the entire planning of our dream safari completely seamless.
We used Shanjoy for the Kenya leg of our honeymoon in September and they made the whole thing effortless.
The booking process was the first good sign. Questions got answered quickly and clearly, nothing was vague, and everything we agreed on in writing is exactly what we got. That matters when you're planning from abroad and can't verify things yourself.
The logistics were the standout. They handled our transfer from the airport to our hotel on arrival, got us across Nairobi to Wilson the next morning for the flight to the Mara, and picked us up again at the end. Every driver was where he said he'd be, at the time he said he'd be there. No confusion, no waiting around.
The safari itself lived up to it. We were well looked after from start to finish and never once had to chase anyone about anything.

Very knowledgeable and helpful
Roda was so helpful in planning and booking our tour. We were a group of eight and she was able to take all our requests and make them happen.

One of the most curated safari experience we could ask for!
We had a wonderful experience with the Shanjoy team during our week-long safari. We started in Nairobi and traveled to Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Amboseli during our trip and saw everything we were hoping to see. Our guides, Dominic and Isaya/Rasta, were also phenomenal and made our first safari experience very wonderful. They were both extremely knowledgeable about every animal we saw as well as keen on making sure we saw everything on our list (Ex. Big 5, Great Migration, Mara River Crossing, etc)! They assisted us during the border crossing between the countries and it could not have been more seamless. Their office team is also extremely responsive and our contact Rodah was amazing to work with. She also made sure we were well-taken care of during our entire trip! I researched many tour companies and eventually chose the Shanjoy team. Would highly recommend the Shanjoy team for any safari goers!

Ticked all the boxes
I’ve just returned from an amazing safari, and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!
From start to finish, I felt completely safe and well looked after. Our two tour leaders, Rio in Kenya and Legger in Tanzania, were both incredibly reliable, knowledgeable, and professional. They kept to all the timings and managed to fit in every activity, even with the traffic, which made the whole experience run so smoothly.
One of the biggest highlights was seeing the Big Five in just one day, along with an incredible variety of other animals. Every day brought something special, and the wildlife experiences were truly unforgettable.
The food arrangements were also excellent. All my dietary requests were fully accommodated, which made such a difference.
The accommodation in the tents in the Serengeti was absolutely magical. Waking up surrounded by nature was an experience I’ll never forget.
Another major highlight was visiting Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru, followed by the fantastic bike ride in Hell’s Gate National Park. These experiences were such a wonderful combination of adventure and natural beauty.
A huge thank you to Rio and Legger for making the trip so memorable. Their organisation, knowledge, and dedication made this an exceptional safari. I came home with amazing memories and would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a safe, well-organised, and unforgettable African adventure!

Perfect company, perfect guide/driver, and perfect tours!
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Shanjoy Tours & Safaris. From the very beginning to the end of our trip, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations.
Our guides/drivers were professional, experienced, friendly, and very attentive. They made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey, and their knowledge of the wildlife was impressive. They always did their best to help us find and enjoy the most amazing wildlife encounters.
The accommodation, transportation, meals, and overall organization were excellent. We especially appreciated having a private 4x4 Land Cruiser, which made the safari very comfortable and flexible.
Kenya and Tanzania were truly unforgettable, with incredible landscapes and wildlife. We were lucky to experience so many wonderful moments, and we will remember this trip for a very long time.
Perfect company, perfect guides/drivers, and a perfect safari!
We would highly recommend Shanjoy Tours & Safaris to anyone looking for a professional and memorable safari experience. Thank you for making our trip so special!
Thanks Patrick, Beth, Kimani, Elly, Duncan. Asante sana !

Efficient, courteous, responsive and very helpful
We enjoyed our 10 day trip arranged by Shanjoy, the guides were great and the choice of lodging was well suited for our budget. The staff was great to work with, accommodating of all requests and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend the company to anyone looking to book a safari tour.

Amazing 8D/7N Safari in Kenya and Tanzania
Shanjoy Tours organized an amazing 8D/7N safari with 3 days in Masai Mara, 1 day in North Serengeti, 2 days in Central Serengeti, 1 day in Ngorongoro Crater and 1 day Tarangere NP.
Ms. Rodah was our tour coordinator who was absolutely brilliant through the planning stages and checked in with us every day of our safari to make sure everything was going smoothly. She picked fantastic accommodations for us which were both luxurious and immersive. She was quick to respond to every question we had and giving us useful tips. She is excellent at what she does and provided 5 star service.
Our guide in Kenya, Mr. Jamlek is passionate about his work and knows Masai Mara like the back of his hand. He gave us some incredible sightings of the Big Five by day 2 and even a cheetah sighting as a bonus. We had an amazing sighting of a Leopard that walked past our safari jeep. We had a total of 15 sightings of lion prides including a lion with a buffalo kill surrounded by hyenas and vultures and a pride of 6 lions strolling in the Savannah early morning. He even went above and beyond to help us pick up our lost luggage from the Olkiombe Airstrip. He has an incredible intuition of sighting game. He is also a fantastic and safe driver with superb knowledge of Masai Mara. He dropped us off at the Isebania border crossing into Tanzania and helped us with a smooth transfer.
Mama Savanna handled the Tanzanian portion of our tour. Mr. Marley our guide in Tanzania is exceptional at his work. He has an incredible knowledge of the bird and animal wildlife in Tanzania. He was brilliant at spotting wildlife and we had the opportunity to see two leopard sightings including Leopard cubs, multiple sightings of lions including a pride of lions resting 10 feet from our safari jeep as well as a cheetah sighting. In Ngorongoro he showed us a herd of 4 White Rhinos which we were able to watch from close quarters for a half hour. He took great care of us for the five days we spent in Tanzania. He is a very safe driver and a professional safari guide.
Thanks to our amazing guides Mr. Jamlek and Mr. Marley, we had amazing sightings of the Big Five in both the Masai Mara and Tanzania.
All in all we are glad we picked Shanjoy Tours and Safaris who were very transparent from the beginning and provided a five star experience from start to finish.

Amazing tour and organisation!
We had an incredible trip to Kenya with Shanjoy! From the pre-trip organisation to when we landed and throughout our trip, we had an amazing time. A huge thank you to Diana who has been in touch with us for pre-trip organisation, Beth for hotel bookings, Patrick (the director!) who joined us on the tour; and the amazing safari drivers - Jim, Ben, David and Emilio. Everyone was lovely, hospitable and knowledgeable. Our safari drivers and Patrick made the game drives incredible, from their ability to spot animals (even when they are lying in the bush or hiding away in the shades), their knowledge of the animal behaviours and habitat, to their amazing driving skills and determination to get us to a great viewing spot - we had the best time! The accommodation and food were also great throughout the trip, we couldn't recommend them enough! Thank you for an incredible trip, Shanjoy team :)

Very organises, proactive and kind
The staff was very kind and always available to any question. I did not have any issue, the organization of the flight tickets, ground transportation and accomodation in the mara park was perfect. I really enjoyed my time there and will strongly recommend this company

Wonderful
We went with Shanjoy after a couple friends of ours had used them. We can’t say enough good things about Patrick Macharia (aka Patrick II). His depth of knowledge of the animals was impressive. He was friendly and worked hard to find us all of the animals we wanted to see. It was a pleasure to spend 10 days with Patrick.
Rodah was also a blessing. She was very responsive, her answers complete and she made the entire process much easier.
