TOP-NOTCH LOCAL TOUR GUIDES

SHRIKE believes that a safari guide is a golden key to a great safari. We select our safari guides for their discerning eye for even the smallest detail, as well as for their sincere friendliness and dedication to personal service—ensuring an incomparable wildlife experience in an atmosphere of warm hospitality. It is particularly heartwarming that so many returning guests pen long letters of praise for their safari guide, each guest thinking that their particular guide must certainly have been the best in the company!

Instead, we will move at your pace and only move on when YOU’RE ready. Extra time to capture those awe-inspiring photos?... No problem. Some alone time and solitude in the middle of nowhere?... Of course. Quality time spent searching for BIG 5?... Our pleasure. Or maybe you are a birder?...you can tell by our name — SHRIKE, we are passionate about birds.

AUTHENTIC LOCAL EXPERIENCE

SHRIKE is a family-owned and locally-based Tanzanian company that exclusively harnesses local talent and knowledge to make our trips the best in the business. We are a homegrown local business that likes to keep things at the grassroots level—local guides, local culture, local knowledge, and local expertise. Unlike many tour operators (especially in the US & Europe), who merely act as booking agents and turnover the actual operations to local companies to handle their trips. When you work with us, you are getting an AUTHENTIC Tanzania experience from Tanzanians themselves.

OFF THE "BEATEN PATH" EXPERIENCE

SHRIKE can take you to absolutely sensational locations that are off-limits to most travelers and reward you with a-kind-of-experience that will change your life forever... 
Our years of experience and our local expertise and connections allow us to take you places most other travelers simply cannot go—it's like having a "backstage pass" to the world! We offer you trips that take you past typical tourist destinations and immerse you in the world of nature, culture, and the true Tanzanian experience.
