The 360° Impact Safari
Where Journeys Become Legacies
Some journeys change how you see the world.
Others quietly change lives.
The 360° Impact Safari is designed to do both.
The Beginning of a Conversation
In June 2016, John and Christine Carney travelled to Tanzania with friends for a private family safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
What began as an unforgettable journey through the wild soon became something deeper.
Back in Mwanza, John and Mark Madola James, founder of Shrike Safaris, sat down together over tea at the Gold Crest Hotel. They shared stories of their work, their values, and their belief that travel could be a force for good when approached with care.
Out of that quiet conversation, a lasting partnership was formed.
A Safari With a Deeper Purpose
In early 2017, Shrike Safaris partnered with Busega Scotland to support the Mayega Children’s Centre, providing care, education, and opportunity for orphaned and vulnerable children in Tanzania.
From this partnership emerged the 360° Impact Safari — a journey designed with the same artistry, privacy, and attention as every Shrike safari, yet guided by one defining principle:
100% of the proceeds support the children at Mayega.
This Is Not a Package
It is a canvas.
Tailored to your pace. Shaped by your passions. Designed around your vision.
Whether your journey includes the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Mount Kilimanjaro, or quieter corners of Tanzania, every detail is crafted thoughtfully — allowing the experience to unfold naturally.
Yet at its heart, the journey carries a promise:
That every moment of wonder you experience echoes far beyond the landscape itself.
Why It Matters
“Having the support of Shrike Safaris is very important to vulnerable children at Mayega. It means they can go to school, eat well, and know that people in Tanzania — and all over the world — truly care.”
— John Carney, Founder of Busega Scotland
Not every journey is measured by the miles you travel.
Some are defined by the lives you touch.
Who This Journey Is For
The 360° Impact Safari resonates most with travelers who:
-
Value meaningful travel over spectacle
-
Appreciate privacy, care, and thoughtful design
-
Want their journey to carry purpose without obligation
This is not a charitable appeal. It is an invitation — offered quietly.
