5/5

One day trip to Camp Ndunda Falls-Embu,KE. From the start of the bookings, the company made it seamless to obtain the itinerary we needed, made timely communication, coordinated our transportation as well as our activities. We had an amazing experience and would recommend Shanjoy tours and safaris to anyone looking to tour Kenya and beyond.

Very knowledgeable safari-guide that was just as excited about safaris as we were!
5/5

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!

Very helpful and motivated individual.
5/5

Patrick was very helpful from the beginning. Prompt to send us a quote and for what we asked for and always ready to answer our questions. The only burden was due to me been in country when we booked and the will not use credit card payments. This changed the rules of the game because put me in a predicament of dealing with my US bank on an international transaction that takes at least 7 days to process. He will not start your flight bookings or nothing else until the money was received. This put the trip on hold and me to stress about it. There are other companies out there that deal with credit cards. So if your timing is important please be aware and book in advance. Also be warned that these international transactions will put a charged on your account of around $50 and another $50 that you will have to paid to their bank for accepting the international transaction, an extra $100 out of your own pocket. But besides that, he was very quick to answer your questions and very responsible in informing of your trip scheduling. Once you start your trip he is always attentive of how things are going to facilitate with all your needs. We visited two parks, Amboselli National Park and Masai Mara with flights included and everything went as planned. They picked you up at your hotel early for your flight and drop you off when the trip is over. Everything is taken care and the safari went smooth. This was my third trip to the parks but the first for my wife and she loved it. We were very pleased with the flying package we purchased and believe me, we did our research and their prices were fair enough.

5/5

It has been a very pleasant, fun and enriching experience. We did a private safari in Spanish and in a van, perhaps the latter is what we will change in the future, because the SUVs moved like fish in water, those roads for the vans are horrible.
For the rest, we were great, very comfortable with the guide Oscar and with our driver Simón, they made us spend 3 very entertaining days.
Totally recommended!!

Friendly, eager and knowledgeable
5/5

Besides the safari place itself, which is wonderful, the tour is very enjoyable. The guide is always looking for something new to see, in constant radio communication with other drivers in the park. The vehicle (land cruiser) was reliable, which can be a relief on some roads.

Amazing company for Maasai Mara! Patrick was incredibly flexible, communicative, knowledgeable
5/5

Amazing experience with Patrick (who runs Shanjoy)! We had a group of 4 and all loved touring with him—he was a great driver and knew a lot about animals and where to find them. Patrick was also easy to work with, reliable/punctual, and flexible with our itinerary.
