A truly professional and reliable tour operator who delivered a seamless, well-organized experience
From start to finish, everything about this trip was seamless with smooth communication, reliable service, excellent value for money, and a tour that exceeded expectations in every way. The operator was always professional and responsive, and I never had to worry about a single detail along the way.
A special shoutout goes to our guide, Johny Jackson, who made the experience unforgettable. Thanks to his incredible skills and sharp eyes, we managed to see the Big 5 all in one day. He always seemed to be the first to spot the perfect photo opportunities and positioned us in the best place before other vehicles even arrived. His knowledge of the wildlife, the landscape, and the parks added so much depth to the journey, and his friendly personality made the long game drives a joy.
The safari itself gave us memories for a lifetime, we saw giraffes up close in Lake Nakuru, came face-to-face with elephants in Amboseli, watched a lioness hunting in the Masai Mara, and even managed to spot a leopard in the Masai Mara, which is often the hardest of the Big 5 to find. Every day brought something special, and Johny’s guiding ensured we never missed a moment.
I would highly recommend this tour operator to anyone considering a safari in Kenya, everything was perfectly organized, stress-free, and filled with unforgettable moments.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our overall experience during our recent trip to Tanzania was exceptional and very enjoyable. We loved all the parks we visited, with Serengeti and Ngorongoro standing out as the main highlights. We witnessed all the Big 5, along with numerous other animals, including some close encounters. Everything went flawlessly, and I must commend Tanzania Wildlife Adventures for arranging such an unforgettable tour!

Great Trekking Experience
Doing Kilimanjaro with Zara Tours was not only rewarding but an unforgettable experience. The guides were supportive, experienced and knowledgeable. I observed that the whole team was genuinely interested in our success as they went above and beyond to keep us safe, comfortable, and motivated throughout the entire trek. The food was great and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We both reached the summit and owe it all to Zara Tours. They deserve all the flowers that they get.

It’s so wonderful though sceptical initially
It was arranged by my daughter, though I’m so eager to be there. I’d a tough time to find a Muslim friendly operator but I took this risk and this venture went smoothly…I believed there is a big market among Muslim to be there. Observe the requirement of the Muslim and you’re into it in a big scale. The accomodation in Nakuru and Amboseli provide ‘good’ experience for Muslim.

Kind and excellent services
I do not know how to appreciate all of the services provided to us including information about the National Park. We not only enjoyed the trip but also the environment education provided to us through your company. That was very useful. Thank you very much.

Lavina was warm, friendly and accommodating. The safari experience that I will never forget.
The trip was well planned. When we arrived in Tanzania each day was filled with a variety of activities. The was a meeting as soon as we got there to share the itinerary and we were given detailed packet about each day’s activities. The things we did and what was well worth the money. They were always on time. The members of her team were very knowledgeable which added to the value experience. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who is interested in touring Tanzania, Zanzibar or anywhere else in East Africa. I would definitely use them again.

He is well informed, courteous and efficient
The tour was well conducted in a systematic way. The operator was giving plenty of information about the particular animal, its habits, behaviour, nature. Some interesting titbits. We were able to spot the big ones,and the small ones, too. He was impressive.
Our only regret was not spotting the leapord inspite of all efforts.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
