Private, Tailor-Made Journeys Across East Africa | Operating Since 2007
Tanzania Safaris
Where Safari Feels Spacious
Tanzania is often described as the heart of the classic African safari.
Experienced thoughtfully, it is also one of the most spacious and unhurried places to travel.
At Shrike Safaris, we design private, tailor-made journeys in Tanzania that prioritise flow, time, and care.
From vast plains and volcanic highlands to mountain paths and the Indian Ocean beyond, Tanzania rewards travelers who move with intention.
Why Tanzania With Shrike Safaris
Tanzania offers extraordinary diversity, but it is also a destination where thoughtful planning makes the greatest difference.
Our approach focuses on:
-
Choosing regions that align with your interests and pace
-
Timing travel to reduce congestion and long drives
-
Allowing journeys to unfold naturally, without pressure
Rather than trying to see everything, we help travelers experience Tanzania well.
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is defined by scale, light, and movement. While it is famous for the Great Migration, it offers rewarding wildlife encounters throughout the year.
We design Serengeti stays that prioritise:
-
Quietly located camps
-
Flexible game drives guided by wildlife movement
-
Time to observe rather than chase
When approached with patience, the Serengeti reveals its depth.
Ngorongoro Crater & Highlands
The Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s most remarkable landscapes, offering exceptional wildlife density within a dramatic natural setting.
Because it is also popular, our approach balances time inside the crater with stays in the surrounding highlands - preserving rhythm, perspective, and calm.
Mount Kilimanjaro Treks
Mount Kilimanjaro is not a technical climb, but it is a serious journey that rewards preparation, patience, and care.
We design Kilimanjaro treks that prioritise:
-
Gradual acclimatisation
-
Experienced mountain teams
-
A pace set by wellbeing rather than schedules
For travelers who value confidence and support over speed, Kilimanjaro becomes not just a summit, but a deeply meaningful experience.
Remote Tanzania (Select Journeys)
For travelers who have been to Africa before — or who value remoteness above familiarity — southern and western regions of Tanzania offer a slower, more exploratory style of safari.
These areas are best suited to travelers with time, curiosity, and a desire to go deeper. They are approached selectively and only when they truly fit the journey.
Zanzibar & the Coast
Many Tanzania journeys are beautifully complemented by time on the coast.
Zanzibar offers:
-
Gentle beaches
-
Cultural depth
-
A natural counterbalance to safari and mountain days
We favour quieter areas and lodges that allow the journey to end as calmly as it began.
When to Go
There is no single best time to visit Tanzania.
The right timing depends on what matters most to you:
-
Wildlife movement
-
Landscape and light
-
Crowd levels
-
Overall travel rhythm
We guide travelers toward seasons that align with their priorities rather than fixed peak periods.
How We Design Tanzania Journeys
Every Tanzania journey we design is:
-
Private
-
Tailor-made
-
Shaped around your pace
We consider travel distances, camp locations, and the balance between activity and rest - ensuring the journey feels spacious rather than scheduled.
