Very knowledgeable safari-guide that was just as excited about safaris as we were!
We booked our very first safari with Patrick at Shanjoy Tours and Safaris as part of our honeymoon getaway to Africa. My wife pretty much planned the whole thing, as it had been her dream to go on a safari in Africa ever since she first watched The Lion King as a child.
She found Shanjoy Tours and Safaris through safaribookings.com and asked me what I thought, and if it looked legit or not. At first we were a bit nervous about paying the requested deposit (50% of the total) but after frequent and quick responses from Patrick, and a bit of googling and research about the company, our nerves were put to rest; and it turned out to be one of the best experiences we’ve ever had.
We booked a 12-day safari that took us to several locations throughout Kenya and Tanzania (including the foothills of Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, and more). Each location/park we visited gave us something completely new to look at and a different experience each time. We were able to also customize our safari by adding/removing different locations that the wife wanted to see, but wasn’t on the example-set safaris provided on safaribookings.com.
During our safari, we were able to see so many animals, such as zebra, wilderbeest, lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, and so much more. Not only that, we even witnessed some exciting stuff like lions eating other animals and hyenas hunting an antelope in the middle of a lake!!! We saw lions mating (lol!) and we even got within touching distance of so many animals, including lions and cheetahs! (Of course, I didn’t touch those animals though. I made sure to keep all my limbs inside the jeep and away from biting distance lol) the whole experience was really cool and exciting.
What I really appreciated about Patrick though, was his extensive knowledge about all of the animals and parks we saw. I learned so much cool and interesting facts about about Kenya, Tanzania, the animals, as well as the culture and the people of Africa, the Masai tribes, and so much more.
Not only that, but I also appreciated how Patrick was just as, if not more, excited about finding the safari animals than my wife was. His excitement about the safari was contagious and made the safari that much more exciting.
Thanks Patrick!!!
If you plan on booking a safari, I highly recommend booking with Shanjoy Tours and Safaris because I reeeeally doubt there’s anyone better!

It has been a wonderful experience. The safari very well organized. We have seen so many animals and the big 5. They picked us up at the airport and from there until the last day they have been aware of everything. The guide Felix was very good and the cook Lula was fantastic. perfect tofu

10/10 recommend Earthwings Tours, such an amazing experience!
For someone that was a little nervous I could not have asked for a better experience. My boyfriend and I did a 3 day tour and it was amazing. Martin set up our trip from picking us up from our hotel to dropping us off at the airport everything was planned perfect. We started at Sarova Mara Game Camp which was absolutely amazing. Bonnie was our tour guide for the 3 day trip and he was truly amazing. He went above and beyond on getting us the full experience and seeing every animal we could. He had taught us so much and had an answer for every question. I felt safe and in good hands for the 3 days we were on the safari.

Sandra is the best travel agent one could ask for!
This is the first time I used a travel agent for my trip and I'm really glad I did! From curating safari lodges to flights and immigration logistics, Sandra was on top of everything and helping me with every issue we encountered, especially since post covid travel wasn't smooth sailing. We had a safari experience that we will remember for the rest of our life. Thank you Sandra!

Everything organized by my contact met perfectly our expectations.
On our trip through Namibia and Botswana we stated for parts of our trip where we want to stay and how much we are willing to spend.
Our contact at Falcon did a great job and booked the right places.
Next time again with Falcon.

EXCEPTIONAL
It was a best experience going for a day safari in Tarangirie with nkollo tours . We had a single day in Tarangire and It was an unforgettable journey since we saw alot of animals With Hans, we had the best guide and driver you can imagine. He is very helpful and experienced, he knows every corner and spot to show you the animals and creatures in the wilderness. Besides that, we enjoyed the conversation about the cultures during the transfer . Needless to say special thanks to the owner Allan and his team for the safari tour.

Unforgettable experience with a great tour operator!
I would call it the best experience of my life. We had here a three days trip. In the national park we got to see all the animals we expected such as lions and elephants (even a baby too), we were so lucky!! The staff was very nice, the food was also ok, big portions, never felt hungry. Our guide was helpful and safe driver. The atmosphere in the lodge was wonderful, liked to watch the sunset there while monkeys were just casually playing on the trees. 100%. Would def recommend!!

Wonderful communication, meticulous planning, and high-quality bookings
Joseph assisted us in creating the ideal itinerary that included everything we wanted to see and do on our honeymoon. He was patient and promptly answered all of our questions.
Everything was taken care of from the moment we arrived at the airport, with incredible service and the best accommodations we've ever had while traveling.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kubwa Five Safaris and look forward to booking with them again in the future.
