Absolutely Incredible Honeymoon Safari – Flawless from Start to Finish!
We cannot recommend Shanjoy Tours and Safaris highly enough! We booked our honeymoon safari to Kenya and Tanzania just two months in advance, hoping to pull off something truly special—and Shanjoy delivered beyond our expectations.
After reaching out to a few companies, Shanjoy immediately stood out. They were the *only* ones to respond quickly, and the level of detail and clarity in their quotes gave us instant confidence. We knew right away they were the right choice.
From the moment we got in touch, Martin was amazing—he patiently answered all our questions (and there were many!). Whether it was malaria concerns, specific lodges, or itinerary tweaks, he was always warm, informative, and incredibly responsive. His support made the whole planning process feel easy and stress-free.
Once on the ground, the experience was absolutely seamless. From the first day we were picked up, it was non-stop adventure—but without having to arrange anything or make any decisions. Everything was taken care of so we could just relax and enjoy.
We started our safari in Kenya with Rio, and within the *first two days*, we saw the Big Five—unbelievable! The transfer to Tanzania was super smooth, and there we met Ledgar, who was a phenomenal guide. He had a real passion for wildlife and even helped us witness a lion hunting—an unforgettable moment.
Our final guide, Richard, was just as kind and knowledgeable. We really appreciated having different guides along the way—they each brought unique perspectives, stories, and deep knowledge, making every part of the trip enriching. On the last day we decided to do something else that wasn't originally planned in the itinerary and they were able to accommodate that request without any issue.
Every single lodge and accommodation Shanjoy booked for us was stunning—thoughtfully chosen, comfortable, and perfectly located.
If you’re looking for a tour company that genuinely *cares* about their clients, look no further than Shanjoy. This was the trip of a lifetime, and we are so grateful to them for making our honeymoon unforgettable.
Thank you, Shanjoy team!

Excellent Experience Beginning to End
Our experience with Shanjoy for a private 12-day tour across Kenya and Tanzania was excellent beginning to end.
Communication was always clear, reliable, and prompt from the initial quote email through to booking through to actually being on safari. I really appreciated during the initial booking phase that Shanjoy gave me time and space to consider the options and never made me feel pressured. When I asked for changes to the itinerary, they were done quickly and accurately. The lodges that Shanjoy selected were great — good food, great service, clean and comfortable rooms, and excellent locations inside the parks. Shout out to Rodah for all of her support.
On safari, our driver in Kenya was Patrick. Patrick was fantastic. He was a perfect mix of informative when we asked questions, but also let us have space so we never felt awkward and pressured to maintain a conversation. He is a very genuine and nice person so conversations with him were very natural. He is a very competent driver and a good wild life spotter with over 20 years of experience. I also appreciated that he was respectful of the animals while getting you close up viewings. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and reliable. No major breakdowns (and the one minor breakdown Patrick had fixed in 10 mins).
Transferring vehicles at the border of Kenya-Tanzania was smooth. Eric was our driver in Tanzania (Mama Savanna is Shanjoy’s partner company). Eric was a top notch wildlife spotter and a great driver. Again, the vehicle was clean, comfortable, and we had no issues or breakdowns.
Overall, I highly recommend Shanjoy. Next time we are back, we’ll be booking again with them.

Driven
I recently had the pleasure of booking a safari trip with Shanjoy Safaris, and it was truly an experience of a lifetime! From start to finish, everything was exceptional, thanks to Patrick, the owner, and his incredible team.
Patrick's organization and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the trip ran smoothly. He was accommodating, professional, and genuinely passionate about creating unforgettable experiences for his guests.
A special shout-out to David and Tony, our drivers, who were nothing short of amazing. Their expert knowledge of the parks and keen eyes for spotting wildlife made every game drive an adventure. Not only were they excellent drivers navigating even the roughest terrain, but they also shared interesting facts about the animals and their habitats, making the experience even more enriching.
Throughout the trip, I felt safe, well-cared for, and constantly in awe of the stunning landscapes and incredible wildlife we encountered. Shanjoy Safaris truly goes above and beyond to deliver an authentic and memorable safari experience.
If you're looking for a safari company that combines professionalism, passion, and genuine care for their guests, Shanjoy Safaris is the one to choose.

Knowledgeable, fun, organized, detail oriented.
Shanjoy gave us a magical experience. From a historical tour in Nairobi to a 4 day safari tour to inviting us to learn about Kenyan food in their home. They organized absolutely everything, were very communicative and flexible with what we wanted. I can’t wait to go back and continue exploring east Africa with them. If you are looking for a comprehensive tour experience, Shanjoy are it!

Shanjoy Tours provides an amazing experience for a family adventure.
Everyone we interacted with at Shanjoy Tours were fantastic and exceptional in every area. Patrick provided an amazing itinerary and was very accommodating when we asked to adjust it. The communication with Beth was always prompt and thorough. Our booked accommodations were all great (wished we had a little more time to enjoy them). All of the meals and packed lunches/breakfasts were good. The 8 day tour with added Nairobi excursions was amazing. Our family of four (with 11 year old twin boys) were well taken care of each step of the way. Our tour guides/drivers, Tony (Kenya side) and Erick (Tanzania side), were absolutely exceptional. The knowledge of the animals and knowing where to take us in the large parks to see all the different types of animals was fantastic and we have to commend them for the long driving days and early mornings (including picking us up at Nairobi airport for our 4am arrival). We had long days in the safari vehicle, but it was very comfortable and we were always energized as soon as we got into any of the parks for the game drive portions of the trip. I can't say enough good things about the people who work at Shanjoy Tours.

Amazing! Patrick was very thorough and detailed ahlnd responded promptly to all questions.l
Patrick and the Shanjoy team were responsive, prompt and extremely easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable about the animals, the Mara and the Massai. As a result, we did not have to worry about anything other than the times to be ready for. Patrick and his team arranged everything down to the smallest details. We had a group of 12 people and all of our needs were met. The vehicles were comfortable which made me feel secure. My safari was a magical because we experienced the majesty and wonder of the Massai Mara. I had such a great experience that I will use ShanJoy Tours for another safari adventure in the future!

Absolutely Amazing
We had the best time of our lives with our tour guides Patrick, Tony, David and our local photographer Sam. We were treated like long lost family members and our time together will always be memorable and special. They were always on time and patient even when we weren’t. They gave their all to our group of crazy ladies. Highly recommend Shanjoy tours if you’re ever so blessed to visit Kenya!

The tour operator is a charismatic and humorous individual who effortlessly engages with everyone.
I recently had the pleasure of joining a safari trip organized by Shanjoy Tours & Safari with a group of 12 friends and family, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Patrick, truly made the adventure exceptional. From the moment we entered the reserve, his professionalism and enthusiasm shone through.
Patrick and his crew worked seamlessly together, ensuring that our safari was not only safe but also filled with excitement. We were fortunate enough to see four of the Big Five, with the buffalo being the only one we missed because it’s difficult to find. Patrick's extensive knowledge of the wildlife and their habitats enhanced our experience, and his effective communication kept us informed and engaged throughout the trip.
What I appreciated most was how well Patrick accommodated our group’s needs. Whether it was adjusting our route to maximize wildlife sightings or providing insights about the animals we encountered, he was always attentive and responsive. His positive attitude was infectious, making our time in the reserve even more enjoyable.
Additionally, I requested a photographer to help capture our memories, and Patrick arranged for Sam. Sam was fantastic—he knew just the right moments to snap and quickly uploaded the photos for us to share and cherish. It was great to have such a skilled photographer on hand, allowing us to focus on enjoying the experience without worrying about capturing it ourselves.
Overall, I highly recommend Shanjoy Tours & Safari for anyone looking to embark on a safari adventure. With Patrick leading the way, you're in excellent hands. Thank you, Shanjoy Tours, for a remarkable experience that we will treasure for years to come!
