A wonderfully prepared and delivered experience for a lifetime!
We thoroughly enjoyed our safari with Shanjoy Tours and Safaris. We knew we wanted to find a tour operator to arrange a trip starting in Nairobi, including Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. We chose the tour operator after contacting several providers on this route. From the beginning, Shanjoy offered the most attractive price-performance ratio, their offer was perfectly prepared and presented, and their representative Rodah was always available for questions and minor adjustments. Patrick accompanied us on the Kenyan side and Isaya on the Tanzanian side. Both had exceptional knowledge of the local nature and the animals we were tracking, they could read their behavior, predict how the situation would develop, communicate with other guides and rangers, and always ensure we had the best possible experience. This was not our first safari trip to East Africa, but we are leaving with truly beautiful memories and lots of incredible photos. During our trip, which lasted only a few days, we saw the complete Big Five and Ugly Five. The Serengeti in particular exceeded all our expectations, with such an abundance of animals, including observing well over 100 lions, several leopards, and many others, often at close range, which we never dreamed of... We chose the mid-range safari option, and the accommodation we selected met all our needs. We felt that both guides took excellent care of us, and Rodah kept us backed from afar, regularly checking in to see how our trip was going and always ready to resolve even the smallest issue. I can recommend Shanjoy with a clear conscience, and when I want to return to this area, I will gladly turn to them again.

Aardvark Expeditions- The Finest Company in the Tourism Industry
In late November 2025, four friends and I from India did the Marangu Route with Aardvark Expeditions, and it was a great experience every step of the way.
In the weeks leading up to our climb, we exchanged many emails with the Aardvark Expeditions sales staff. Their quick responses and thorough explanations were what persuaded us to book with them.
While climbing, our guide (Gabriel and Fred) were extremely professional. They adapted their pace to ours, provided encouraging words and advice to help us acclimatise, and made sure we were safe at all times.
The food that Erik and Abuu prepared was another highlight. The meals were fresh, filling and served to us with a smile.
Aardvark Expeditions made our first Kili attempt feel possible, secure and fun. Highly recommended!

Economic, reliable, continuous contact, good payment terms, good hotels
I chose the option of 2 weeks safari Kenya and Tanzania.
I was looking for a travel agency that would allow me to travel alone at a reasonable price. Pedaso had a formula where people signed up for destinations according to their interests, and that allowed me to get a reasonable price. I met many travel companions. I chose the option of good hotels (large tents or chalets), and that’s exactly what it was like: all of them were fantastic, well suited to their surroundings—some rustic, others more luxurious—outside or inside national parks depending on the location, all with very good service.
The only exception was the Charity in Arusha (Tanzania), where I stayed the first night. On the last night, after returning from the safari in Tanzania, I booked another hotel myself (Palace Arusha, which was very good). After staying in wonderful settings and good accommodations, the Charity stands out in a very negative way and I do not recommend it. It looks much better online than it actually is.
As for the parks visited, they were fantastic—very beautiful, with lots of wildlife. The people were friendly. The organization and the 4x4 vehicles were better in Tanzania than in Kenya. In fact, in Kenya one of the 4x4 drivers rejected one day to take me to my hotel and offered me another one!! (whatever he decided!!!), but Pedaso solved it and took a taxi for me to go to my hotel.
The return trip from Arusha (Tanzania) to Nairobi is done on a rather old local scheduled bus, but everything is well organized, from hotel pickup to boarding the bus, crossing the border, and arriving in Nairobi.
I never felt unsafe at any time, always following the advice given.
On my own, in Nairobi I stayed at a hotel in the Westlands neighborhood.
Contact with the Pedaso agent was immediate whenever I had questions about the trip organization, as was contact with the agent in Tanzania.
I recommended to buy SIM cards to be connected to the agency or for any emergency. WIFI was good in the hotels anyway.

Amazing tour guide
This safari was special because of our guide. He went out of his way to place us at the right spots at the right time, so we experienced the best moments Maasai Mara has to offer. Safe driving, great stories, and a seamless return to the airport. Couldn’t have asked for more 🌍🦒

Amazing Safari Experience with Kibo Mawenzi!
I recently had the pleasure of going on an unforgettable safari with Kibo Mawenzi as our tour operator. From the moment we began our journey through Ngorongoro National Park to Serengeti, every single moment was nothing short of magical.
Kibo made sure everything was perfect and beyond expectations. The attention to detail and care taken in every aspect of the trip really stood out. We had the chance to see the Big Five and more — Elephants, Lions, Buffalo, Leopards, and even the elusive Cheetahs! The wildlife was breathtaking, and Kibo’s deep knowledge of the animals and the land made the experience even more enriching.
What really made the safari stand out were the long-lasting memories. Whether it was watching a pride of lions lounging in the Serengeti or spotting a herd of elephants crossing the plains at sunset, every moment felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Thank you, Kibo Mawenzi, for giving us such an incredible safari experience. The memories and photos will stay with us forever. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic and exciting safari adventure!

Excellent coordinator with good knowledge on value of time and money.
Our overall experience was splendid. We had a totally new experience with the Safari and stay. Our accommodations were with beautiful & adventurous ambience and luxurious. We were lucky enough to have a best view of Lion, lioness & cubs, Leopard, Secretary birds etc. The tour guides Mr Samuel and Julius were friendly and experienced. Ms Rose was easy to communicate and revert to us promptly. Her support and help made us plan a well balanced itinerary. Absolutely reliable and we would like to recommend it to our friends and family.
