About Shrike Safaris

Thoughtfully Designing Private Journeys Since 2007

We believe every safari should reflect the people taking it. That's why every journey begins with understanding what matters most to you, not a package.

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

Rather than starting with a fixed itinerary, we begin by understanding your interests, travel style and the experiences you're hoping to have. From there, we thoughtfully design a journey that flows naturally, balancing remarkable wildlife, exceptional places to stay and the pace that's right for you.

It's a simple approach, but one that makes every journey feel distinctly personal.

OUR STORY

Where Shrike 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.
