Together in Africa
Safaris Designed For Couples & Friends Seeking Shared Wonder.
Some experiences are best when shared.
Imagine the two of you, or a group of close friends:
Unwinding on your lodge’s veranda.
Sundowners in hand.
Or laughing together over dinner after spotting lions perched high on a solitary acacia tree, as if decorating the landscape.
ARRIVE WITH CURIOSITY,
NOT A PLAN.
The Best Shared Journeys Begin Without Certainty.
If you’re planning a safari with a partner or close friends, questions naturally surface:
-
Which part of East Africa suits us best?
-
When will the landscape feel most alive, allowing us to experience what we want?
-
How do we travel together without rushing or compromise?
What feels clear already:
-
You want Africa to feel vast, not complicated.
-
Considered, not pre-set.
-
Rich in moments you’ll talk about long after you return.
At Shrike, we start there with a conversation.
That uncovers how you like to travel together.
And, quietly builds a journey around that shared rhythm.
WHEN PLANNING DISTRACTS FROM PRESENCE
Too Many Choices
Decisions Overwhelm
Endless options can distract from the moments that truly matter.
Too Little Time
Rushed Itineraries
Pre-planned schedules often leave no room for reflection or connection.
Lost Presence
Connection Diluted
Traveling together should deepen bonds, not leave you wondering if you’ll truly connect with each other or with Africa.

A SHARED JOURNEY,
UNHURRIED
Moments That Bind
Christine and John from the UK traveled to Tanzania with two close couples.
Seeking something simple - time to be present, together.
From the start...
Their safari unfolded as a shared experience rather than a checklist of sights.
-
Quiet mornings in the Serengeti.
-
Wide horizons.
-
And, unhurried encounters with wildlife created space for connection.
Evenings around the fire brought easy laughter and conversation.
Shaped by the group’s own rhythm rather than a schedule.
-
It’s the stillness beneath acacia trees.
-
The collective awe of the wild.
-
And, the ease of being fully there that they still speak about today.
What began as a holiday became a deeper sense of connection.
Felt together, and remembered long after.
