Mr. Famous is the best tour guide you can ask for!!!
Words can’t express how amazing the trip with Mr. Famous (Maarufu) was! From the very second we started the trip, each person from our group of 8 felt welcomed, taken care of and in safe hands :) The experience was adjusted to the needs of the group, everything we planned was done successfully and there is literally nothing I would change so I am extremely grateful for all the work put into this

Maarufu is a great guide. He was very helpful and patient. Maarufu is also a wonderful person.
The trip was excellent. Visiting the Maasai village was an amazing experience. The safari was a great success, and we had the chance to see lions, zebras, giraffes, elephants, and buffaloes up close. The trek and the view of the waterfall were also beautiful.

We saw all possible animals and had a lot of fun.
The trip was wonderful, every day new surprises, beautiful landscapes, and we got close enough to animals to be impressed by their beauty but not so close that we felt that we would disturb their peace. Our driver, Gaspar, was great; he went far and beyond to help me get on time to an important meeting and taught us many curious facts about nature.
The only two things that I would improve, for feedback: 1) There was some disorganization at the beginning; nobody was waiting for me at the airport nor messaged me saying that they would be late. 2) We would have liked to have a detailed plan on the activities every day, to know what to expect and better prepare.
But as I said, it was a wonderful experience and I really recommend it.

Dreaming safari
An unforgettable safari with Serengeti Smile! Everything was perfect from start to finish. A huge thank you to Piniel for the excellent organization before the trip. On the ground, we were lucky enough to see the complete Big Five thanks to the expert eyes and incredible knowledge of our guide, Nixon. Thank you also to our driver, Nicolas, for his very safe driving and perfect control on all tracks. This is an amazing team that we recommend 100%!

Mr Famous is the best guide ever!
Mr. Maarufu is the best guide we could have hoped for—simply a great guy. He is funny, has a great sense of humor, and possesses immense knowledge. He led our tour fantastically and ensured the highest possible standard of service.
On the safari, we saw a multitude of animals: lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, antelopes, elephants, and hippos.
In addition to the safari, Mr. Famous shared many interesting facts about Tanzania with us.
I am so glad we had a guide like him.

Efficient knowledge with a genuine interest in making sure we got all we wanted and more from the ex
We were a crew of 6 interested in seeing Maasai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha and seeing the birds as well as the mammals. Our guide Alvin was excellent with an interest in the birds gave us all the time and took us to some great birding spots too. And of course making sure we got some brilliant views of all the mammals too. He wad great respect for the wildlife and good insights on their ecologies. The elephants were a real treat. Other highlight was a spotted hyena running through and having a go at a flock of flamingos!

Professional, honest, passionate — they made our honeymoon unforgettable.
I'm not saying this out of politeness — it was genuinely the best experience of our lives.
We found the gorillas, watched a lion family feeding, and saw rhinos up close. But honestly, meeting Fredrick and Joshua felt like the greater stroke of luck.
Fredrick was professional from the first message to the last day — he tailored the whole itinerary to our budget without cutting a single thing that mattered, and it was organized, responsive, and completely reliable throughout.
Joshua is a guide who clearly loves his work and loves nature even more, and that made every single drive something more than sightseeing.
This was our honeymoon, and it turned out to be the best decision my wife and I ever made together. She's now seriously talking about moving to Kenya.
A true once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Fredrick and Joshua.

A well-organised and reliable tour operator
We had a fantastic time with Shonjoy and were lucky to have two great guides across our safari, Patrick II for our Masai Mara leg and Hasan for the Serengeti.
Patrick II was absolutely exceptional. He’s incredibly seasoned, a fantastic driver, and genuinely kind and thoughtful. His years of experience really showed, from navigating the Mara to knowing exactly where to be at the right time. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
Hasan was fantastic for the Serengeti leg too. He was energetic, enthusiastic and clearly knew his way around the enormous park.
Overall, we had an amazing experience with Shonjoy and couldn’t have asked for better guides.
