Patrick was incredibly friendly, helpful & knowledgeable from the moment we first contacted him
As mentioned above, from our first email interactions with Patrick from Shanjoy Tours he couldn't have been more helpful. We explained some ideas of what we'd like to do and he came back to us with a detailed itinerary, which was perfect for what we were looking for. He also provided us with all the accommodation booking confirmations and an invitation letter in order for us to get our Kenyan visas and would always respond very promptly. When we looked into booking a train from Nairobi to Mombassa and discovered it wasn't possible for us to make a reservation without having a Kenyan mobile phone (for mPesa), Patrick very kindly booked us return tickets with his own money, which we paid back on our arrival. An example of how he went out of his way to help us even when it was outside of the time we'd booked our tour with him.
Upon meeting Patrick when he picked us up from our B&B in Nairobi he was very welcoming and really friendly. We spent five days together going to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate and Amboseli. Everything went incredibly smoothly and we had an amazing time. The accommodation he'd booked was great and the safaris we did with him were so good. He was a very knowledgeable guide and we managed to see so many amazing animals. I'd definitely recommend Patrick/Shanjoy Tours based on our experience, from our initial interactions right through to the tour itself, he couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating and I feel we really got great value for money.

Amazing Experience and Tour!
The safari was altogether a different experience to us and we enjoyed the most. The Lenchada Safaris’ did all the arrangements on a budget level and we were really happy. We could spot all the ‘big five’ along with many other animals during the safari Masai mara. Mr. Dikson, our driver cum guide was good and was able to find out most of the animals. Two night stay in Lechada camp was also nice and the food was OK. We could not enjoy the masai village trip as it was more like artificial and fake. Hotel in Nakaru was also nice with very friendly staff and good food. The safary in Nakuru park was interesting, we could see rhinos, flamingos and columbus monkeys along with other animals. The boat ride in Naivasha lake was wonderful too, we saw many different species of birds, hippos etc. The stay in Dove nest lodge was not much comfortable. The lodge was looking beautiful but we had issues with mosquitos and uncleanliness. Another issue we all faced and discussed during the trip was the telephone calls of our guide Dikson. He should correct that habit as it was annoying and not safe. He was good and caring at everything else. We recommend The Lenchada Safaris if you are looking for a good budget friendly stay in Kenya.

Absolutely fantastic
This is the second safari I've booked with them and the services were as amazing as the first time.
The staff are very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed from the booking date up until after the trip.
The safari itself was wonderful, we had a
very lovely time, the guide was informative and the accomodation was amazing as well.
Highly recommend them.

Best in organizing safaris and beach
We really recommend anyone who wants to go on safari or beach holiday to Tanzania to book with Superb Tanzania Safaris
We have booked a 3 week safari / beach holiday with our family and have had a lot of contact in advance about what we wanted. Freddie did a really good job. He has mapped out a safari/beach holiday for us and it was beyond our expectations. It is a fantastic, affordable and very reliable company and everything is arranged down to the last detail, from the Guide that was waiting for us when we got off the plane, the domestic flights to all excursions. It's an advantage that Superb Tanzania Safaris arranged all the hotels, lodges tents camps, modern safari cars, they have their own guides and a great staff. All lodges, tents and hotel rooms were spacious, very clean and fully equipped. The staff is extremely friendly and the food is delicious. All the staff really made us feel "at home". During our safari we had a fantastic guide, Alex, who was like a walking wikipedia. He was by far the best guide we could imagine. He really knew everything about the wildlife and he wasn’t just a guide but became a friend. We had such an incredibly beautiful holiday that we will never forget. Many thanks to Superb Tanzania safaris, and especially Freddie, for this unforgettable experience.

The Nicest, informative and fun guy
He was such a fun loving guy who was willing to do the above and beyond for us. I highly recommend him as a tour operator. Most of all a great driver and respectful as we went over bumps and stops when we want pictures. 10/10

Mind blowing experience with Dav Safaris in Uganda.
I am so glad I booked Dav Safaris while in Uganda. My safari to the mountain gorillas was perfect! Reagan was very responsive and accommodating. He was always quick to respond to my emails and he helped me book my private tour. He was also very flexible with my dates and my budget. My driver, Arthur was very knowledgeable and he went above and beyond to make sure that my trip was wonderful. I really enjoyed my trekking experience and my time in Uganda. I highly recommend booking with Dav Safaris when planing a safari.

BIWAKWANGO is the best travel agent for a journey in the south of Africa.
Hello Thierry, we were really delighted with this trip to Zimbabwe:
Mana Pools for 10 days (3 camps) and Hwange for 5 days (Somaliza). We left in November at the end of the dry season.
Mana pools is an extraordinary nature reserve. The landscapes are different and the animals are everywhere even in November.
Hwange was relatively empty of animals. This is not a good date to visit Hwange. That said, the big cats were present in Somaliza since they are attached to their territories. We saw leopards in numbers, animals that we had never had the chance to see.
Regarding the camps:
- Kenga camp (African Bush Camp) is a good camp in the standards of comfort, functioning and preservation of nature that we appreciate. Too many tsetse flies. I was devoured but I am responsible because I did not put repellent.
Very good table.
- Camp Mana managed by Steve is a more rustic camp. Atmosphere much more respectful of nature. Steve knows all the animals and all the ecosystems. Very impressive.
Very Anglo-Saxon table. We saw the wild dogs with them and followed them on foot with Steve. It was great. For me it is an excellent camp, even the best, but a bit rustic. Suitable for backpackers. I suggested Steve call you. I will send him emails.
- Nyamatusi is the most comfortable camp we tested. Tents that are almost no longer tents (almost villas). The tents are very far from each other. You have to walk a lot, which is not a problem, but at night they come to pick you up by car (compulsory). It lacks charm.
Meals are for couples or families. No more mixing of guests, it's unfortunate.
Excellent table but too Anglo-Saxon.
Nyamatusi is the worst experience of this trip apart from the small private pool which was great.
Somaliza awesome as usual. The best compromise for us. The Somaliza teams are truly exceptional. I recommend Somaliza to all French people who want to go to Zimbabwe. Do not go beyond in terms of comfort.
Sincerely

We booked the 3-days safari. It was awesome. Good communication, best driver, a lot of animal spottings, nice accommodation and good food. Will do my next safari during the high season and big migration definitely with them.
