Reliable, caring, and professional—Shanjoy made my solo safari safe, seamless, and unforgettable.
Booking with Shanjoy Tours and Safaris was the best decision I made for my Kenya trip.
My tour organizer, Rodah, took exceptional care of me and was incredibly patient in answering all my questions from start to finish.
From the moment I landed in Nairobi, traveled to the Masai Mara, and returned back to the city, Rodah and my driver Martin made sure I was safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. What started as a tour truly felt like gaining new friends in Kenya.
My camp in the Masai Mara was amazing, and my safari driver Selinak was excellent—knowledgeable, kind, and attentive throughout the game drives. As a solo female traveler, safety was very important to me, and Shanjoy made me feel secure at every step. Rodah was always available to assist and reassure me, and Martin was a constant source of comfort as well.
Even at my Masai Mara camp, where most of the staff were men, I felt respected and safe the entire time. This experience showed me how important it is to book with a reputable and trustworthy tour operator.
Shanjoy delivered outstanding communication, service, and value for money. I would absolutely recommend them to any traveler, especially solo female travelers looking for a safe and unforgettable safari experience.

Amazing
This is our second time with Naseeb Safaris because the first time was so good. The second time didn’t disappoint.
Once again, Naseeb were amazing. They suggested a slightly different itinerary and lodges which worked well. The organisation was first class, as were the lodges, particularly Mihingo, Buffalo and Turaco. They informed, then reminded the lodges that I am vegan and there were no issues – food was superb.
We had the same guide as last year, Nasiib – amazing. How he managed to spot everything he did is quite incredible and he always managed to position the vehicle at just the right place for great animal viewings.
We are planning our third trip already - with Naseeb Safaris, of course!

Very knowledgeable, great eye to spot animals, and cheerful. We were lucky to get Lameck!
We are super happy with company and the driver-guide. We saw all animals we wanted and very close. Our driver knew where to go based on experience and radio communication with other drivers. We saw big five and ugly five and many may more.
If we were to do it again we would choose the same company and driver.

9 wonderful days with RENAI !!
Our 9 day safari trip with Renai was nothing but short of a memorable one. We got them through a recommendation from a friend and the had only done a 3 day safari with them so we weren’t sure since we wanted a longer trip.
Long story short all our doubts were put to bed right after we were in the planning phase. Jovan laid out options that fit our budget and were very flexible with requests to a few changes we made to the itinerary.
The Safari was amazing from the shoebill in Entebbe to Murchison where we saw a lot of giraffes and luckily 4/5 of the big 5, for the primates journey, we had an intimate encounter mostly with the chimpanzees which we were able to see 7 of them up close we cannot leave out the Gorillas ofcourse our main aim for this tour . We were able to get so close to this wonderful creatures through these hikes I was most impressed with the fact that the company gave us hiking sticks besides the ones provided by the rangers. On top of that our guide Precious was very patient, knowledgeable about the wildlife and gave us light jokes to lighten up the long drives.
We also thank the backend office staff for their support
I would really recommend RENAI Venture safaris for any one planning an Ugandan safari !!

Amani and James are EXCELLENT at what they do.
This was my second time to Tanzania, and Key2Africa Tours & Safaris is the ONLY tour guide I use. They always go above and beyond. Their knowledge is out of this world. And they treat you like family. Their authenticity is what makes their tours one of a kind. I traveled with both children and elders and Key2Africa Tours &Safari took great care of us. You do not need to look any further. You can and should trust them to show you a good time.
I am deeply grateful to have experienced Tanzania under their guidance and support. I will never forget this journey! Thank you!

Highly recommend
I highly recommend Rwindi Voyage if you’re planning a gorilla trekking trip to Rwanda or Uganda. Communication was seamless, and all of my special requests were taken into account promptly and thoughtfully. The process was smooth from start to finish, which made the experience stress-free and well organized.

Amazing safari experience. Douglas is the best!
Meru Slopes, and specifically Douglas (our driver and guide) gave us the best trip of our lives. We did 6 days of Safari through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ndutu (with a hot air balloon ride), and Ngorongo Crater. We had one final day in Arusha with a day trip to Materuni Falls. This perfect itinerary was organized by Leonard and he was responsive throughout the whole trip. The safari was a life changing experience. We loved every single moment of it. My wife and I each celebrated our birthdays throughout the trip and Meru Slopes was excellent in organizing many surprises for our birthdays.
Our accommodations were great. Well furnished, nice toilets with hot showers, great staff. The only thing is that it would sometimes get very hot during the day and only our first tented accommodation had a regular sized fan. It was quite a cool experience to hear the wildlife right outside our tent at night.
We saw each of the Big Five and many other animals. We witnessed predators and scavengers feeding on prey, a wildabeest calf being born, a parade of elephants walking towards us, a cheetah scanning for prey from atop a termite mound. These experiences, and more, were only possible because of the 15 years of expertise of Douglas. He was truly amazing and we genuinely miss him now that our trip is over. He made us feel like family. 10/10 recommend.

Use SERENGETI SMILES & Domi for best Safari!
My husband and I booked a 7-day Tanzania safari with SERENGETI SMILES and have been incredibly happy with the booking process and Safari price with Pinel, for making the arrangements and a few modifications, as well as our tour guide, Domi!
In fact, Domi’s guide services have been beyond our expectations! He asked about our interests the first day, and has been very persistent and assertive in getting just the right spot in the Land Cruiser for us to get amazing close-up photos of the Big 5 animas as well as many more animals and birds. He ensures the Land Cruiser and windows are clean every morning and there are cold drinks and box lunches. He is extremely knowledgeable about animals and birds and has great experience to know where to find these amazing animals as well as to communicate with other guides for the absolute best photographer point of view. He also has proven his elite driving skills by not getting stuck in a lot of mud (like some other guides) in the parks or getting caught in flooding from a torrential rain downpour. We HIGHLY recommend SERENGETI SMILES and DOMI for the best North Tanzania safari experience.

Worst Experience Ever
I believe this ccompany could be fraudulent and running illegally with a revoked tourist license. Please I recommend do not book here under any circumstance I cannot express how much I regret doing so as at the time I had booked they had a valid tourism license that was revoked for using unlicensed guides/vehicles which is exactly what had happened to me. I did not receive the itinerary, vehicle, or driver I had paid for. I was told that my original driver and vehicle was in an accident the day before which I was initially very accommodating of but did not realize that the company had lost their license for this exact bait and switch. This company also runs under the name Thinkscene Services LTD which is how I learned about the revoked tourist license as naturally this was not disclosed to me. I personally did not receive the itinerary planned and initially the company offered me a refund of $250 which was not at all adequate for what I had paid. I had to fight tooth and nail for this refund for over 2 months and the company still shorted me $72 on this $250 due to 'wire transfer fees' and issues with accounting. 4 months later I'm still so mad about the complete disregard shown by Philip that I'm choosing now to write this review. Please do not book.
