“If you can dream it, we can build it...

We expertly craft a custom safari that fulfills your every dream, we closely work with you to create an itinerary that’s right for you. Make your own departure dates, travel at your own pace, and infuse the itinerary with your must-see destinations.
Love hippos? Visit a spot teeming with hippos. Honeymooning? Create an itinerary with candlelit dinners under the stars every night. Celebrating an anniversary? Include places you’ve been dreaming to explore together... Spectacularly romantic events can also be created, from black-tie candle-lit dinners in the bush complete with crisp table linens, silver, china, and formal waitstaff to surprise sunset cocktails along a riverbank...
If you are an active traveler, you wish to include a horse riding or balloon safari, or perhaps you just desire the tranquility of a private island or staying in the most secluded villa or maybe traveling in a private jet ...you are at the right place.
At Shrike, we carefully consider exactly what you want from your safari before creating a one-of-a-kind itinerary that guarantees you the vacation of a lifetime. Just call or email us to get started on the planning. We'll have plenty of options and first-hand recommendations to make sure you get the trip of your dreams.
Whether you are looking for a customized family safari, an individual beach holiday to Zanzibar, a destination wedding, or a honeymoon getaway, we will work with you to create your ideal trip within your budget.
We may craft an entire safari itinerary from beginning to end, or simply modify one of the Shrike specialty safaris—perhaps switching to a private “villa” for a few nights or trying a mobile-tented camp experience. Bush flights can also be added if you so desire.





We work closely with you on planning, designing, and customization of a safari that reflects your passion and tastes. And we’ve been doing this since 2007, so we’re really excited to share our insights with you.

Shrike Safaris does everything with a custom approach, so they aren't throwing you into the tourist pit that is run by other big brands [will not name them here for ethical reasons]. Although custom approaches command a premium, it is well worth the increment in price because the experience you will get is far and away superior. You will be away from the hordes, you will see larger packs of animals, you will have 1—on—1 [or close to] handling, and you'll feel that they really care about you...
