Amazing Honeymoon Safari
5/5

As a heads up, I got this severely discounted because I worked on content production/marketing with Shiri Adventures, but that being said... I would have paid full price for this no question.

I had an incredible experience with my husband. Shiri helped customize a 7 day safari with us based on what we wanted to do/see, and once that was agreed upon took everything from there. We didn't have to worry about a thing, it was amazing.

Our guide Laurent has to be the best of the best. He was fun, he was SUPER knowledgeable, and he found us so many great spots. I am half certain he's some sort of superhero with super vision based on his animal spotting skills.

But overall, the safari, for what you get, at full price is VERY reasonable in comparison to others I researched. Pretty much everything is included (minus some random upcharges at hotels should you want them), and you'll have the time of your life.

Additionally, Linus the Managing Director, is an actual angel. He helped us with all our questions, helped us solve a pretty big issue right before we were leaving for Tanzania, and I couldn't be more thankful for him!

Really hardworking team with most experienced guides. They really take care of everything!
5/5

Me and my wife spend our honeymoon on safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Manyara) with Shiri Adventures and I can say that it was the best experience!
We didn't have a single complaint. From communication with mr. Linus, who responded quickly to all our questions and concerns (via WhatsApp or email), to the entire organization of Safari, transfers to airport, luxury lodges in national parks… Also, on our safari jeep they put our wedding photo - nice personal touch :) Our guide (mr. Ibra) was an exceptional at finding animals that we could see from a distance of only a few meters! He taught us about animals, their behavior and the habitats they live in, about the natives Maasai (which we also visited), about land Africa and Tanzania... Really experienced guide! We would recommend Shiri Adventures 10/10. These guys are on another level! :)

Unforgettable
5/5

My husband and I went on a honeymoon to a safari with Shiri adventures. We did a 4 day safari tour (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara) and it was amazing. Firstly, I would like to mention communication with Linus. He always responded quickly and made our safari experience unforgettable. I would also like to mention our safari guide Ibra, who is just an expert. He has a sharp eye for all the animals, and also knows everything regarding safari life. We saw the big 5, which tells how good, experienced and patient was our guide. We also visited a Maasai village and camped in a lodge in the middle of Serengeti. Everything was well organized and the food was amazing. Thank you Linus and Shiri adventures for making our honeymoon so amazing. We will never forget it!

The service you hope for in a bucket-list experience
5/5

From day one, the Shiri team were immediately responsive and continued to answer sny requests, queries and concerns we had right until our return flight. For something like a Serengeti safari, this is invaluable - you want to be confident that your guides and agents are trying their best to arrange the best possible itinerary for you.

Our guide was knowledgable, fun, and responsible. The office team were fast acting and personable, even meeting us at thw airport with a couple cold beers!

Would definitely recommend.

Outstanding
5/5

A safari in Tanzania is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so you want to make sure you do it properly. Fortunately our tour with Shiri was perfect, including the lodgings as well as our guide Lau who was very experienced, knowledgeable and friendly and made sure we saw lots of animals. The hospitality from Linus - the owner - was exceptional and he was always available over WhatsApp to answer any questions very promptly. It can be overwhelming with hundreds of tour companies to choose from but I would 100% recommend Shiri!

Many thanks to Shiri Adventures!! Especially to Linus James the manager who was attentive and present from start to finish, and without forgetting of course Peter and Éric who listened to us and were extremely kind and benevolent and very friendly throughout the game drive! Great guides, a great Manager ✌

Safari
5/5

We have done a 5-days-safari in the Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater and highlands. We found Shiri Adventures via Facebook and that was an absolute lucky find! The communication with Linus was always pretty easy to handle via WhatsApp, he always answered really fast and answered every question we had, if we had any insecurities. But he surely gave us a sense of security, so we could have started our safari with a good gut feeling.
Shiri Adventures could offered us a private safari for us two for a really good and affordable price (we are still students). Linus did everything to make it affordable for us. When we started Linus welcomed us to the start of the safari and even asked us what we would like to have as snacks and drinks for the next five days. It has been already a friendly start with him and our amazing guide Kili. We couldn't have been luckier with any other guide I guess! He took us to the best places during our safari, he knew everything about the animals, so we could have learned a lot during the days, and made the trip perfect from the start to the beginning. We always felt safe when he was driving and also when he brought us close to the animals. He made it possible for us that we have seen a lot of giraffes, zebras, Gnus, buffaloes, flamingos, hippos, monkeys, elephant, impalas, water bucks, Bush bucks, antilopes, some hyenas, lions(5 female and 2 male ones), jackals and even one leopard and one serval cat. And most of them we could have seen from a really close few, some of them right in front of our car! Kili really knew all the sweet spots to make this possible for us, we are so thankful for his good work and we really appreciate him! When we started the safari in the Arusha National Park we got a private walking tour where we have seen giraffes from pretty close (like 4 meters away) what was a special moment for us and the rangers (Damian and his trainee Patrik) took us to a beautiful waterfall. Also at the end of our safari in the Ngorogoro highlands Shiri Adventures took us to a walking tour and we have seen an elephant very close and it was just a breathtaking moment seeing those animals so close. We really recommend doing a walking safari as a part of the day trips. It's just a totally differentfeeling than seeing them while sitting in the car.
On our third day when before we went to the Lake Manyara we have got a T-Shirt from Shiri Adventures as a souvenir from the safari, that was such a nice extra!
Also the food was amazing during our trip, especially Freddy's food was soo delicious, he is by far the best stomache engeneer/cook who made the best tanzanian food! Furthermore Shiri Adventures offered really good and comfortable Campsites, especially staying in the heaven campsite let us feel comportable and heart warming.
At the very end of our safari Linus and two other colleagues of him visited us at our hostel to ask how our safari was, that was a really nice service, we felt really appreciated and comfortable with Shiri Adventures!
Thank you for this special experience and those amazing memories we made! We highly recommend to everyone to book the safari at Shiri Adventures!

A local tour operator that helped us make an unforgettable trip
5/5

Me and a friend did a 6-day deluxe Tanzania safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara). The communication with Linus went effortlessly and he was always quick to respond. We also added a visit to the Masaai tribe (which lasted an hour or so). This was a nice add-on to learn about the the indigenious way of living. We spent the 1st night at a hotel in Arusha and the other days in lodges and tented camp. Everything was so well organized and wherever we went we were always welcomed with a smile. Tanzanian people in overall are really kind. Our safari trip was amazing and definitely a once in a lifetime experience. We have seen the migration crossing which was such a big highlight of my trip. Because of our guide's (Marick) experience and patience we were able to see so many wild creatures. Just like that we could already check off the big 5 on our 2nd day, with the black rhino as the last one, which was at the end of the day on our way to camp! We have witnessed some beautiful sunrises, one just from a hill not so far from our camp. The food, OMG, was so delicious. We did a bush lunch in the Serengeti which was amazing. And we have received a Shiri adventures T-shirt which is really cool! Props to Shiri adventures for organizing our unforgettable safari trip!

Safari experience at its best!
5/5

This company is an excellent choice for Safari. I chose the 7-day Northern park circuit (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengenti, Lake Manyara) from Arusha and loved every minute of it. Everything was well organized, easy to handle and questions answered by Linus instantly. Our guide Laurent was the best! Very experienced, so much fun and he did an awesome job on spotting the animals. Also a walking Safari in Ngorongoro was included, which was amazing. Picnic lunches were super yummy and lodges/tented camps in the evening friendly & comfortable.
So I want to thank Linus, the Shiri team and Laurent for this wonderful holiday! Great customer service, great guide, awesome experience, which I will never forget. Highly recommend Shiri Adventures!

5/5

mother-daughter duo, we made successfully the 6-days tour to Uhuru Peak with Shiri Adventures on the Marangu hut route. In fact, not only a special adventure, but also a special challenge, especially since my very sporty daughter has little mountain experience.
But we were supported and cared for by Shiri's nice team of 8, including 2 personal guides and a special porter. So we were able to master the steep, strenuous ascent at night to the peak well. Our very friendly guide Joseph was always ready for us with extensive knowledge, experience and compassion, what was so helpful.
The good, freshly prepared, delicious meals with ingredients previously selected gave us the necessary strength and motivated us extra....
Thanks a lot.
