Private, Tailor-Made Journeys Across East Africa | Operating Since 2007
Family Safaris
Shared Journeys, Thoughtfully Designed
A family safari is less about covering distance and more about spending time well.
At Shrike Safaris, we design family journeys that feel calm, private, and considered — allowing different ages, interests, and energy levels to move together without hurry.
Since 2007, families have trusted us to create safaris where children are engaged, parents feel supported, and time together remains the focus.
A Safari That Moves at Your Family’s Pace
Every family travels differently.
Some are curious and energetic.
Others prefer quieter days balanced with moments of discovery.
Our role is to listen first, then shape a journey that flows naturally for everyone.
That often means:
-
Shorter travel days
-
Flexible schedules
-
Fewer locations with longer stays
-
Private guiding throughout
So no one feels rushed — and everyone feels included.
Why Families Choose a Private Safari
Space to Be Yourselves
Your family travels with a private guide and vehicle.
There is room for questions, pauses, laughter, and quiet moments — without the pressure of keeping up with others.
Learning Through Experience
A safari offers rare learning opportunities that feel natural and memorable.
Guides adapt each day to suit the ages and interests of your family — from understanding animal behavior to noticing the smaller details that bring the landscape to life.
Comfort and Reassurance
From thoughtfully chosen accommodations to careful routing and pacing, comfort and safety are quietly built into every decision.
Parents can relax knowing details are handled, allowing them to be present with their children.
What a Family Safari Feels Like
Every journey is tailor-made, but many family safaris include:
-
Private guide and vehicle
-
Family-friendly lodges and camps
-
Shorter drive times where possible
-
Engaging wildlife experiences
-
Time for relaxation between activities
-
Optional beach or island time
Our goal is simple:
for parents to relax and children to feel wonder.
Is This the Right Fit for Your Family?
Our family safaris are well-suited for families who:
-
Value private travel and thoughtful pacing
-
Want meaningful shared experiences over busy itineraries
-
Prefer guidance, reassurance, and flexibility
If you are seeking fast-paced travel, fixed group departures, or tightly structured schedules, this may not be the right approach — and clarity helps everyone plan well.
