Fantastic, well organized adventure
5/5

Our wonderful 10 day adventure was put together and expertly managed by Rodah. Everything from our pick up in Nairobi to Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, Tarangire and Amboseli was fantastic, all the better for having our engaging and knowledgable guides taking special care of us, Thank you to Samuel, Edgar and Steve. Our safari experiences were all we could have hoped for and more with safety, care and fun.

Shanjoy delivers exceptional bespoke service
5/5

We just returned from an epic 9 day (first time) Kenya trip. Our itinerary, which was meticulously crafted by the Shanjoy team, took us to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara. They were ultra responsive, available, patient, adaptable and overall lovely to deal with throughout the planning process and, since it was a last minute trip, had to contend with the added pressure of limited hotel availability. Rodah and Patrick (1) warmly greeted us at the airport, took us to our hotel in Nairobi and waited with us until we received our room key to ensure that checkin went smoothly. The next morning, we were met by our guide, Patrick (2), and the adventure began. Our land cruiser was excellent - very comfortable, huge windows, pop up roof, ample room for the three of us and stocked with snacks and beverages - and Patrick (2) was its master handler. Whether it was negotiating highway traffic, weaving around potholes or dealing with bumpy trails and challenging terrain for hours on end, Patrick (2) handled it like a boss, all while being on the lookout for wildlife. Speaking of which, Patrick (2) made it his mission to find the Big Five, which we did (a few times over)! We also had several exciting up close big cat encounters, including a couple of fresh kills. While luck undoubtedly had a role, Patrick (2)’s knowledge of the parks and animal behavior and patterns, his easygoing way of speaking with other guides (which led to information on sightings), his patience and his own genuine passion for seeing the animals set us up for these amazing moments. We enjoyed spending time with him and he was a big part of the reason our trip was such a success. We would definitely recommend specifically requesting Patrick (2) as guide when working with Shanjoy. Back at home base, Patrick (1) was busy troubleshooting when I accidentally left my phone behind, handling our mid-trip requests to make some changes to our return itinerary, taking care of us in and around Nairobi and just making sure that every moment of our trip went smoothly, all with a huge smile. A million thanks to the Shanjoy team!

Our driver Edward was very knowledgeable and polite and knew where to find the various animals.
5/5

We wanted to celebrate our sons 50th birthday and knowing his interest in animals we decided on Basecamp within Masai Mara having been to Masai before and our preference over the South Africa safari parks which find the animals enclosed in their respective enclosures and not roaming wild.
After landing at Masai our driver Edward met us and took us on a drive with a picnic lunch before heading to the camp.
Very pleased with the accommodation and location right on the edge of the reserve next to the river.
Following 2 days on safari watch seeing many animals with a family of lions and cubs as our highlight.
Last day flight from Masai went without a hitch.
On my sons birthday the staff gave him a typical Masai birthday song with a special cake.
He says it was one of the best holidays he’s been on.
Many thanks to Edward and the rest of the staff for making this a holiday to remember.

Trip of a lifetime
5/5

Our recent safari adventure through Kenya and Tanzania with Shanjoy Tours & Safaris was nothing short of spectacular! The trip exceeded all our expectations. A huge part of what made this journey so memorable were Martin and our incredible guides, Patrick in Kenya and Elly in Tanzania, who bought their unique strengths to the table.

Kenya with Patrick - A Wildlife Spotting Masterclass

Our safari began in Nairobi, Kenya to Lake Nakuru National Park and Masai Mara with Patrick as our guide, and I can't praise him enough! I saw a lot of reviews regarding Patrick, so I asked Martin that we need Patrick as our guide for Kenya. Patrick is an absolute gem - his knowledge, enthusiasm, and eagle-eyed spotting skills made every game drive a treasure hunt. He delivered the full Big Five experience: lions, water buffalo, elephants, rhinos and leopard. But he didn't stop there - Patrick also tracked down 4 of the Ugly Five (Hyena, Vulture, Warthog, and Marabou Stock), adding a fun twist to our sightings. His ability to spot wildlife from wildlife was uncanny; he'd point out a group of cheetahs stalking prey or a pride of lions sleeping under a tree before we could even focus our binoculars. Beyond his skills, Patrick's warm personality and storytelling made every moment engaging. He's a true safari SUPERSTAR!


Tanzania with Elly - Witnessing Nature's Grand Show

Crossing into Tanzania, we were handed over to Elly, who guided us through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Elly brought a different flavor to the trip, his deep understanding of the ecosystem and his knack for positioning us at the right place at the right time. The highlight was witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti - an awe-inspiring spectacle of thousands of wildebeest thundering across the plains. Elly's treated us to a heart-pounding scene of lions hunting, along with sightings of hippopotamus, giraffe, rhinos, elephants, zebras etc. Ngorongoro Crater felt like stepping into a wild-life documentary, and Elly's insights into the area's geology and animal behavior enriched the experience. Elly also helped us with talking to different vendors for the Hot Air Balloon ride. He was able to get us the ride within our budget.


Why Shanjoy Stands Out

Shanjoy Tours & Safaris deserves the full credit for crafting this unforttable journey. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, covering diverse ecosystems and iconic parks without feeling rushed. The logistics - from comfortable vehicles to well-timed breaks - were flawless, and the team's communication was top notch from booking to the final drop-off at the airport. Pairing us with guides like Patrick and Elly, each with their own strenghts, showcased their commitment to delivering a personalized and high-quality safari.

If you're considering a safari in East Africa, look no further than Shanjoy. Patrick and Elly made this a trip of a lifetime. Whether it's the Big Five, the Ugly Five, or the raw beauty of the savannah, Shanjoy knows how to make it happen. I'd book with them again in a heartbeat - highly recommended!

Great Safari company
5/5

My partner and I did a 5 day Nakuru and Masai Mara safari in December 2024 and had a wonderful experience. This was my 6th safari so the bar was set high and I was happy with everything. Our guide and driver Patrick, took good care of us and was very knowledgeable. He made it his priority to find the big 5 for us. We stayed at Lion Hill game lodge in Lake Nakuru National Park, the room we had was ok and the buffet was really good. In Masai Mara we had a luxury room at Prideinn Mara camp and loved it! It was located in the park so it was very convenient for our game drives. I’ve never had so many close encounters with big cats as we did on this trip. Overall we would recommend Shanjoy.
