Feel This...
Yourself smiling. Enjoying the most exclusive and comfortable safari experience you can imagine. Have robust morning coffee in a luxurious tented lodge as the vast expanse of the Serengeti stretches before you, or relaxing on the white sandy beaches of Zanzibar while enjoying cocktails and snacks.
And, the sun on your back. Your eyes staring at the lion kill. Philadelphia style on your lips. Local hosts walking with you. A glass of wine, breathtaking views, and a beautiful sunset. Space for daydreaming...
All that’s left for you to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy... and bring back home ever—lasting memories
Undivided Attention to Details
A safari with Shrike features impeccable service, tradition, and attention to detail which is the hallmark of Shrike the world over.
For your convenience, we take care of the details—including your luggage and lodge/ camp check—in so that you don't have to plan anything. Just relax, have fun and enjoy your trip of a lifetime!
We Guarantee your Departure
Every Shrike program is guaranteed to depart as scheduled, regardless of the number of participants.
Once your departure date has been confirmed and a 25% deposit or full payment has been made for your trip, we will never cancel for any reason other than Force Majeure.
Flying Doctor services
When you travel in Tanzania with Shrike, you are assured of the services of the Flying Doctors, a group of superbly qualified physicians who travel by aircraft throughout the bush to effective treatment and transportation.
This assures Shrike guests in remote locations of prompt medical attention and air transportation to the nearest medical facility in the unlikely event that an emergency should arise. However, this should NOT replace your travel insurance.
The Finest and well—equipped 4x4 Safari Vehicle
Your journey on safari involves exhilarating days on the trail of African wildlife, making the quality of your ground transportation of the utmost importance.
Shrike is extremely proud of the high quality of our safari vehicles—just a further example of our dedication to providing you with the utmost authenticity, comfort, and personal service. Every guest is additionally assured of a window seat directly under a closed (with a pop—up roof) or open-sided safari vehicle.
All Meals from start to completion
We take nice food seriously—we know it’s a big part of your safari. From the moment you arrive, all meals are provided as part of Shrike’s all—inclusive safari cost. Farm—to—table dining experience is available at Gibb's Farm.
It is our desire that travelers be free to spend their time reveling in the splendid sights and sounds of Africa, rather than making inquiries of the hotel clerk as to where to eat, what kind of food is provided, how to get there, how much to pay and how to get back to the hotel/ lodge.
The Shrike’s NO tipping policy...
At Shrike, we recognize that nothing can spoil a unique experience in a foreign land faster than the burden of deciphering local gratuity customs.
We handle all gratuities in advance, allowing you the freedom to relax and enjoy your adventure. This all—inclusive safari policy offers substantial cost savings and is possible thanks to the volume of travelers visiting Tanzania with us each year.
Top—notch Local Tanzanian Safari Guides
And quite simply, Shrike safari guides are always the best. We don't say so, our passengers do! They rave about every one of them. As the hosts of your safari, your guide will always make you feel right at home – wherever you go.
Professional Kilimanjaro Mountain Guides
A mountain guide's knowledge, sensitivity, and good humor are some of the most essential elements of a successful Kilimanjaro trek. From the moment you first meet your mountain guides, you know that you are in good hands.
Wait, it doesn't stop there...
Complimentary transfers to and from the airport/ hotel is our pleasure...
Travel to and from the airport/ hotel in Tanzania is available at your pleasure and at no charge, regardless of which airline you fly or when you arrive or depart.

We also offer the same refreshments and bottled water, soft drinks as well as snacks, in each of our safari vehicles during all game viewings.
Bush Cocktails at African Sunset
Bush cocktails are extraordinary, whether an elaborate affair or a powerfully private experience... This is a special moment in time.
As the warmth of the African day gives way to the cool of the evening, we experience a rare peace and beauty and find ourselves as one with the land and its inhabitants.
