ABOUT SHRIKE SAFARIS

Thoughtfully Designed.
Rooted in Africa.
Since 2007

Every journey begins with understanding the people taking it. For nearly 20 years, we've been helping travelers experience Tanzania and East Africa through thoughtful planning, trusted local expertise and genuine hospitality.

OUR APPROACH

No two travellers are the same, so no two journeys should be either.

We don't begin with a fixed itinerary—we begin with you.

By understanding what matters most, we design private journeys that feel personal, unhurried and effortless, supported by trusted local experts from your first conversation to your journey home.

Our History

Where Shrike Safari Began

Woman portrait with horse
Shrike Safaris was founded in 2007 with a simple belief: the finest journeys aren't defined by how much you see—they're defined by how thoughtfully they're designed.
What began as a passion for sharing Tanzania's extraordinary landscapes has grown into a company trusted by travellers from around the world. Along the way, we've built lasting relationships with exceptional guides, carefully selected lodges and local partners who share our commitment to genuine hospitality.

We've intentionally remained personal. We take time to understand every traveller, offer honest advice and design each journey with the same care we'd give if we were welcoming friends to East Africa for the very first time.
Because for us, a remarkable safari isn't about ticking off destinations.
It's about creating moments you'll still be talking about long after you've returned home.
