Experience guides that are determined to fulfill your safari adventure
Patrick and his team are super attentive and professional to details. You want an experience guide that knows how to handle any situations because you are in nature with wild animals.
Patrick helped planned our family tour that tailored to our family’s interests and needs. We saw all the big 5 animals. Experienced a lion hunt during a night game drive that we will never forget. Saw cheetahs and lion cubs up close.
We stayed at 6 different hotels, each with its own experience and ambiance that made it special.
We ran into an unexpected Masai protest but the guides handled the situation and got us to our next destination safely. We experienced flat tires but given the terrain that is not a surprise. Our guides were able to fix the issue quickly and got things back on track.
I highly recommend Shanjoy to anyone and will rebook with them again in the future.

Amazing company with personal touch
Shanjoy’s owner Patrick planned our multi generational safari for 16 people aged 9 to 77 from start to finish! We saw Amboseli, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Patrick diligently worked to make sure we had lodges that fit our family which required 8 rooms one of which was a triple room. Our lodges were beautiful and luxurious with sounds of nature all around like hippos, birds and hyena calls. We saw some amazing things like a pride of lions eating fresh buffalo and two families with cub lions! We also saw giraffes, rhinos, baby elephants, baby topi, numerous birds etc! Our transfers were sometimes long with the bumpy and dusty park roads, but they were well worth it and we always had a comfortable bed and lodge at the end of the day with great meals! Our drivers/guides were always positive and knowledgeable. We appreciated Samuel telling us everything from information about animals, to the history of tribes in Kenya and current politics. How education has changed and the economical climate is changing too. The evolution of game parks and transportation/roads!
Patrick also had great attention to detail making sure the lodges celebrated one of my nephew’s 11th birthday and our wedding anniversary another night.
Patrick also welcomed us to his home and introduced us to his family on our last night of the safari before we went to an out of this world meal close to Nairobi airport where we got to try exotic meats.
Shanjoy is a great choice if you want a safari operator that has great attention to detail and a personal touch!

Amazing Safari Adventure by Patrick from Shanjoy Tours and Safaris. One of a kind experience.
From the time we were picked up at Nairobi airport to the time we were dropped off back 10 days later, and all the game drives in between in Kenya & Tanzania, every aspect of the safari was amazing. Thanks to Patrick who gave us the opportunity to witness the best of wildlife in their natural habitat. We saw elephants, lions, rhinos and buffalos at close range and also a glimpse of the elusive leopard eating it's kill in a tree. We also saw cheetahs and herds of wilder beast and zebras among numerous other animal species. Patrick's knowledge of the wildlife and his commitment to respect the right of way for the animals and ensure that we, visitors keep our distance, was evident during our entire safari. Our accommodations and meals were also beyond expectations. Thank you again Patrick for an amazing safari adventure.

Shanjoy is synonymous with reliability and professional services, knowledgeable and friendly guide
It was quite easy to communicate with Shanjoy to create a suitable itinerary for our Kenya and Tanzania safari. Shanjoy was most approachable and flexible, and made suggestions that were very relevant to enhancing our safari experience.
Our highly professional driver/guide in Kenya, Patrick Roonan, had great communication skills and apparently very knowledgeable of the fauna and flora in the parks.
Patrick Roonan seems to have the knack of finding and locating the animals; we managed to see four of the Big Five within the first safari day itself! His patience and consistently right decisions has enabled us to be the first to arrive at some spots where we can have a close and undisturbed time with the animals.
Thanks to Patrick Ngire, Beth Kamatu and the Shanjoy team, everything went smoothly and safely.
Shanjoy is highly recommended for a memorable and hassle free safari.

Shanjoy was very easy to work with and the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
Communication was easy and responses were quick. They were very accommodating with our itinerary requests. Everything went smoothly (outside of a missing suitcase upon arrival, which they were very helpful in helping us retrieve from the airport). The value for the money was outstanding compared to other quotes received. One piece of feedback is that we were not made aware that we would switch guides between Kenya and Tanzania, which would have been nice to know beforehand. Overall, 5 stars, highly recommend!

Great company that does everything tonmake the customer happy
We had a great experience, from the communication before the safari, the advise what to do and not to do, to the safari itself.
We had great knowledgeable drivers, they were nice and had very good communication skills while also staying professional. The camps and lodges selected were great overall, some better then the others of course. I would book again with Shanjoy if I go on another safari.

Dedicated reliable professional services
We contacted Shanjoy tours and safari by email to have a private tour itinerary for a very reasonable price. They replied our questions in detail promptly every time. Patrick picked us up at Nairobi airport in person. We had Steve as our driver/guider at Nakuru, Maasai Mara for 4 amazing days, then picked up at board by its partner, Mama Savanna, in Tanzania. We had Isaya as our driver/guider at Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, Tarangire for 5 perfect days. Then we were back into Kenya to tour Amboseli. At last we were transferred to Nairobi for dinner then airport. Every accommodation is wonderful. What an unforgettable lifetime experience! Thank you so much!

Amazing experience!
Amazing once in a lifetime experience, we booked this trip as a young couple the company are fab and organise everything for you coming up with an itinerary for each day and sorting our accommodation.
On arrival our tour guide Patrick picked us up from our hotel and we set off for our week long trip. Patrick was really knowledgeable and we managed to find the big 5 within the first few days! His experience of the reserves was great he knew where to find the animals, Very friendly and informative tour guide I would 110% recommend.
We specifically looked for a company that provided a car with canvas windows to roll up for a better view, before our arrival the company had the car in the garage to arrange this for us, great customer service giving us the best experience! Thankyou very much!
