Day 1 - Arusha
It's time to begin your safari. Welcome to Tanzania!
After we greet you and provide you with the trip
briefing, we'll take you out to help you discover why so
many people think Tanzania is the best place in Africa
to go on safari.
Busy Arusha is an essential part of safari life here in
northern Tanzania and most travelers pass through at
some stage. Whether you’re on your way out on safari
or here for a little longer, you’ll catch a glimpse of
streets filled with energy and color.
➔ Main Destination: Arusha ➔ Accommodation: Gran Melia Arusha ➔ Meals & Drinks: All meals included
Day 2 & 3 - Tarangire National Park
We think you’ll be impressed with Tarangire National
Park. Most visitors love the distinct shapes of the
baobab trees silhouetted against the sky that make
This place feels like a fairy-tale African landscape. Or
visitors remember the elephants that roam in family
bands everywhere throughout the park. If you’re lucky,
you’ll also encounter the big cats—lions especially—but
also cheetahs and leopards, which are always
possibility here. And there’s a fair degree of certainty
that you will tick wildebeest, giraffe, hippo, buffalo and
zebra off your wildlife-viewing list.
➔ Main Destination: Tarangire National Park. ➔ Accommodation: Maramboi Tented Lodge ➔ Meals & Drinks: All meals included
Day 4 & 5 Serengeti National Park
Discover just why so many safari visitors fall in love with
the Serengeti. Keep an eye out for big cats, even bigger
elephants, and almost every kind of safari wildlife you
can imagine. You might also see giraffe, impala, zebra,
wildebeest, buffalo, hundreds of species of birds, and
that may all just be before breakfast. You’ll never forget
watching these animals interact, whether you see a
hunt, a vast herd or a mother protecting her cub or calf.
The Serengeti’s scenery is also unforgettable – observe
Africa’s iconic acacia trees, the park’s golden
grasslands and great piles of boulders known as
kopjes.
Ngorongoro Highlands (Day 4)
Enjoy cool temperatures, forest wildlife (including
elephants, buffaloes and leopards), and fine views of
craters and mountains when you visit the Ngorongoro
Highlands
➔ Main Destination: Serengeti National Park ➔ Accommodation: Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge ➔ Meals & Drinks: All meals included
Day 6 - Ngorongoro Crater
The day that awaits you in Ngorongoro Crater will be
filled with wildlife and the sheer wonder of exploring an
unusual world as picturesque as any safari park in
Africa.
Walking safari, Ngorongoro Highlands
Come with us on a walking safari, where you'll enjoy the
thrill of stepping out into the African wild with an
experienced guide. Although you won't be watching the
animals from a vehicle, it's still very safe, and it's a
priceless opportunity to feel really connected to the
animals you'll see and the landscapes you'll explore in
a whole new way.
➔ Main Destination: Ngorongoro Crater ➔ Accommodation: Kitela Lodge
➔ Meals & Drinks: All meals included
Day 7 - Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara is one of the most underestimated
national parks in Tanzania’s northern safari circuit.
Everything you’ll see here is on a different scale, at once
compact (this is one of the narrowest parks in Africa)
and epic (the Rift Valley escarpment towers over Lake
Manyara’s western boundary). You’ll see plenty of
baboons and elephants in the park’s thick evergreen
forest, and watch for the tree-climbing lions that have
become famous throughout Africa. Thanks to the
proximity of lake, forest and rock walls, the birdlife will
also tease out your inner birder – don’t forget your
binoculars

Shiri tours is one of the best tour company with excellent communication skills. Linux was great and our tour guide Ally was exceptional and would recommend them to anyone. Keep up the good work.

7 Day Safari - Trip of a Lifetime
I did a 7 day safari with Shiri Adventures and it was incredible. Full disclosure, I did get mine severely discounted as we worked together on content creation/promotion, but I can honestly say I would have absolutely paid full price to do it.Our guide Laurent was amazing. Linus, the Managing Director, is a godsend and helped us with some issues that popped up right before we left as well as answering every little question we had along the way.This trip was the time of our lives (me and my husband went for our honeymoon). I couldn't recommend it enough, and I found Shiri to be very reasonable in cost compared to many other safaris at this level.And we saw the big 5! I'm telling you, our guide had supervision. 10/10 would recommend Shiri Adventures.

7 Day Safari Experience
Shiri Adventures made the whole safari a breeze! We got to see so many animals and different national parks over our 7 day safari. And with the help of our guide we were able to spot and see the all of the big 5 animals (lions, elephants, leopards, water buffalo & rhinos)! We got a discounted experience via my wife, but I would pay full price any day. It was amazing!

BEST Guide Company In Tanzania
Linus and his crew were all over the tiny details that made each excursion we want on amazing. Did the 3-day safari, Materuni Falls & coffee tour, and visited the Chemka hot springs. Everything was well planned out and communication from Linus was impeccable. Highly recommend this company and will use them again if I ever find myself back in Eastern Africa!

My Kilimanjaro hike
I had a wonderful experience with the team at Shiri, Linus provided such a wonderful team that played a very huge role in helping us summit Uhuru peak. The team was organised and professional and made the 6 day hike a very memorable one for me and for the friends I made on the hike.

6 day Marangu Route Kilimanjaro
Absolutely wonderful from start to finish! My friends and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro via the Marangu route with Shiri Adventures, and Linus and his staff delivered an amazing experience. There were 4 of us in our group and we all had limited hiking experience, but we all made it to the summit with the help of our amazing guides Yaki and Bryson, along with the porters. After we finished, they had beers, champagne and a bus waiting for us at the gate. I have traveled quit a bit and I can say I’ve never had a better experience anywhere. If I ever go back to Tanzania I will hire Linus and Shiri Adventures to handle it. I wish I could do more than write a review. I highly highly highly recommend using Linus and Shiri Adventures for your Kilimanjaro trek or safari. Thanks again to Linus, Yaki, Bryson and everyone else, you made our trip happen and delivered a once in a lifetime experience!!

Highly recommend using Shiri Adventures.
We went on a three-day safari with Shiri as well as a day trip to Materuni Falls and Coffee Plantation and Chemka Hot Springs. I can't say enough good things about how helpful Linus and his staff were before, during, and after our trip. Everyone was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and made sure we were enjoying our trip. Our accommodations and food exceeded expectations. If you're planning a trip to Tanzania, I would highly recommend booking your adventures with Shiri.

Best Safari!
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! :)
