⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Adventure of a Lifetime!!!!!
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!

Our safari with Shanjoy Tours and Safaris exceeded every expectation. Communication before and during the trip from Rodah was excellent, clear, responsive, and reassuring. The planning and logistics were flawless, with every transfer, flight, and hand-off handled smoothly, which made the entire journey feel effortless. The door-to-door service gave us peace of mind, and the itinerary struck the perfect balance of game drives, relaxation, and cultural moments. The value was outstanding given the level of care and professionalism throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend Shanjoy Tours and Safaris to anyone looking for a safari that is well-organized, reliable, and memorable in every way.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Safari Adventure of a Lifetime!
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.

A Safari to Remember for Years!
If you are looking to book a safari in Kenya/Tanzania, look no further. Patrick and his team of Shanjoy Tours and Safaris will definitely exceed your expectations as they did ours. They specialize in customized tours of your interests and budget. 16 of us came to this trip to celebrate our best friend's 40th birthday. And boy did we celebrate!
The knowledge, experience, friendliness, hospitality, and professionalism of both Kenya and Tanzania team along with Patrick blew us away. I have many lovely stories from this trip that I'll be sharing with my friends and family for years to come.
Our 8 day journey went from Nairobi to Maasai Mara to Serengeti to Ngorongoro to Tarangire and finishing in Arusha where we left for 3 more days to Zanzibar. Every accommodation arranged were cozy, comfortable and safe. The hospitality of each resort were excellent. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and always looking for new experiences for us. We were lucky enough to see a killing on our very first day. Guides knew where all the animal activities were and how to find them. All of our game drives were eventful. We had tons of fun. Best of all - Patrick and his guides had fun with us!
I can go on and on but let me finish here. Look no further - just book with Shanjoy Tours!

Exactly what I hoped for
Our safari trip to Kenya and Tanzania this August with Sanjoy Tours was an absolute dream come true, and we cannot recommend them highly enough! From the very beginning, the team was incredibly responsive and worked diligently to customize the entire itinerary to fit our budget, without compromising on the experience.
Every detail was perfectly planned, from the seamless travel between countries to the wonderful accommodations. The real highlight, however, was our guide, Patrick. He was absolutely awesome! His knowledge of the wildlife, the local culture, and the parks was incredible, and his keen eye for spotting animals ensured we saw everything we had hoped for and more. His passion and friendly demeanor made every day an exciting adventure.
Sanjoy Tours delivered a five-star experience that exceeded all our expectations. If you're planning a trip to Africa, look no further. We will definitely be using them again for our next adventure!

Seamless logistics, amazing guides, unforgettable safari
We just returned from an unforgettable safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Shanjoy, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Even with a group of 16 people, everything was handled seamlessly, from the beautiful lodges the helped us select to the incredible team of drivers who made every game drive exciting, safe, and fun.
A special thank you to Beth, who did a fantastic job helping to coordinate all of the planning and logistics before the trip. Patrick, joined us throughout the trip as our guide and host. His knowledge, warmth, and dedication made the experience truly exceptional. Thanks to his leadership and the persistence of the amazing team of drivers, we saw the entire Big Five, including leopards and rhinos which are often the hardest to find.
The adventure was filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments, from breathtaking wildlife sightings to the unexpected ones like two flat tires and even getting stuck in the mud next, both of which happened right next to a pride of lions on separate occasions. Even then, the team kept us safe, calm, and laughing, turning challenges into unforgettable stories.
This trip exceeded every expectation. The combination of thoughtful planning, expert guiding, and the personalities of the entire Shanjoy team made it so much more than just a safari. It was an experience we will carry with us forever. If you are considering a safari, choose Shanjoy. They are simply the best!

A Magical Safari Experience – Beyond All Expectations!
We had the most incredible safari experience with Shanjoy, and it’s a trip we will remember for a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized — smooth transfers, comfortable accommodations, and a well-planned itinerary that balanced adventure, relaxation, and breathtaking wildlife encounters.
A very special mention goes to our guide, Rio, who truly made the experience exceptional. Rio was not only highly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems of the Maasai Mara, but also deeply passionate, patient, and incredibly intuitive. Thanks to his expert tracking skills and understanding of animal behavior, we saw everything from a cheetah hunt to a river crossing!
Rio also went above and beyond to ensure we were safe, comfortable, and fully engaged throughout the drive. We learned so much from him, and his warm personality and sense of humor made every moment enjoyable.
Highly recommended.
