Verified One of the best experiences of my life! From the beginning Linus was very attentive, he replied really quick and send us several options for safari. Once we arrived all the magic started, all staff members greeted us well, Tanzanian people are very kind and welcoming. We did an 8 day safari and each day was better than the previous one. Our guides always tried to meet our expectations and even more. Our safari started in Tarangire, then Serengeti, Ngorongoro and we finished with Lake Manyara. We we're lucky and got to see the Big 5!!! This was one of the best trips of my life and Shiri made this experience AMAZING! I definitely recommend this agency, don't think it twice! Thank you Shiri, Peter, Laurence (our amazing guides) and Linus for everything, will definitely recommend you! Asante Sana and Hakuna Matata! Hope to be back soon! 🇹🇿✌🏽🤙🏽Verified 30th Birthday My husband and I celebrated my 30th birthday in Kenya and Tanzania. We booked our trip using Shiri Adventures and it was the main piece to make this trip unforgettable!Back in March we had a call with Linus to get all our questions answered and he was great. I shared with Linus which parks we wanted to see and he figured out all of the details. We arrived in Nairobi first and he had someone pick us up at the airport. Our first safari day was the next day in Lake Nakuru, and we were lucky enough to have Samuel Ndolo as our guide. ( If you are going to do a safari in Kenya please request him and thank me later ) he was absolutely amazing, he made sure we had a great time. He KNOWS A LOT about the parks and the animals, and has great eyes lol, sometimes we could not see the animals at first but he was great at spotting them. We went to Masai Mara as well and were able to complete the BIG 5. We did a ballon ride in the Masai Mara park and it was amazing, the breakfast after was very well organized. After these amazing days in Kenya we proceeded to Tanzania. Laurent Samila was our guide here and he was great. He also made sure we had a great time and knows Serengeti and Ngorongoro very well. He had great eyes spotting the animals. We had a great time and fun time with him and were able to complete the BIG 5 in Tanzania as well!Our last stop was Zanzibar. OMG! What a paradise. We had a great and relaxing time there. We got to go to Stone Town and to do a sunset cruise. All the hotels/lodges we stayed were very very nice. The food was amazing in both countries and the people were incredibly nice and always wanted to have a fun time. I have no words to describe how you get emerged in the African culture around you.Linus from Shiri Adventures was incredible and made sure we had no worries about anything, he went above and beyond. He was always prompt and ready to help. Our experience with them was wonderful and we recommend them. Hands down one of the best experiences of our lives.Verified Best honeymoon ever Our safari organised by Shiri Adventures was beyond our dream and it’s hard to put it to words..We had a 5 days safari starting from Arusha and going to all the best National Park of northern Tanzania. Our favorite was Serengeti but every day was so special and we loved every minute of it. We drove through so many beautiful landscapes and Didos our guide made this trip unforgettable. Always very respectful of the animals and always wanting for us to have the best experience! He really wanted us to see all the animals and was taking his time driving through the beautiful scenery.All the accommodation were amazing and very well chosen by Linus, from the beautiful Manyara’s secret to the tented camp Embalakay in Serengeti to finish at the beautiful Farm Lodge in Ngorongoro with their coffee plantation. We really didn’t want it to finish and we are so sad it’s now over!!! Thank you so so so much Linus and Didos for this incredible honeymoon!Verified An Amazing Experience with Shiri We decided to use Shiri for our honeymoon, doing a 2 week combination of both Safari on Tanzania mainland, and Beach in Zanzibar. And it was an absolutely wonderful experience, and probably the best trip we have ever taken in our lives. Our guide for the safari was amazing. He was so knowledgeable of the areas, the wildlife, and the culture and always had an answer for our questions. He also ensured that we saw all the animals we wanted to see, including the very rare black rhino at the Ngorongoro crater. It was the most magical experience. Thank you to the team at Shiri for being so kind, caring, and very quick to respond to any of our needs once the trip had started. I highly recommend using Shiri for this kind of trip! Thank you!Verified Luxury safari! Lots of car time but worth it! This company is honest, high quality, and great with planning and communication. I booked a 7 day safari tour followed by 3 nights in Zanzibar on the beach. I flew into Nairobi and had one night there until the tour began. I had one driver in Kenya then at the border I was handed off to a different driver in Tanzania. You will see so many animals. Up close. The drivers are very good at finding them and they know all about them. We stayed at really cool lodges inside the parks where the service was incredible. The food was great. Bottled water was provided and everyone did what they could to make me happy. The hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti was a highlight for me. Shout out to Nicola from the miracle experience for that. One thing to keep in mind is I was not prepared for the amount of time I would be spending in the safari vehicle. The first day was 5 hours of driving followed by 3 hours of safari in the same vehicle. Then of course the next day was an all day safari so that’s another 8 hours. Then the next day was 8 hours of driving to Serengeti followed by a 3 hour safari. So it was definitely worth the long drives but just keep that in mind. My international plan from T-Mobile in the USA did not work so after a couple days I got an eSIM online and that helped the time go by. There is also a lot of beautiful scenery and culture to see as you drive by. The jeeps were comfortable and had power outlets and a refrigerator. The beach days in Zanzibar were great after a week on safari. I would definitely recommend this company. You will see that there are literally thousands of companies doing this and I feel lucky that I found a good one.Verified Amazing Awesome Adventures! My husband and I booked directly with Shiri Adventures for a 7 day Safari + Sunset Walking on the Crater Rim & Maasai tour. We highly recommend booking directly and saving the money that a travel agent costs. Linus James answered all of my questions and I had a lot. I received a very profession quote and then itinerary. We booked travel and medical insurance separately which was very affordable. We took Ethiopian Airlines which had shorter layovers and was a little more affordable. We spoke with our doctor for proper medications and brought some Tanzania Shillings but didn't need them.We arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport and you cannot get lost! One of my worries but it is so small and we were the only jet there at the time. Our driver was awaiting right outside the door. She was very energetic and entertained us on the short drive to our hotel. Our first hotel was in Arusha at Gran Melia and was over the top! Be sure to check out the gardens. We also stayed at Country Lodge in Karatu (twice), Embalkai Camp, Embalakai Ngorongoro Camp, and Arusha Planet Lodge. All were wonderful! The staff was amazing as well as the food. See my Trip Advisor reviews for those. I should also say private bathrooms, hot water, shampoo, soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste. And very important, bottled water for brushing your teeth. Don't forget, you'll thank me later :)The first morning, our guide Abraham was there to meet us and he took care of everything the rest of the week. He was very professional, a great driver and has a great eye! He was driving and found a cheetah off in the distance. He educated us on the animals, people and the land. He answered all of our questions and was a joy to spend the week with. He took great pictures of us and gave me suggestions to better my photography which I appreciated. He took us away from the crowds so we had a chance to search for the animals and oh did we. We saw the big 5 and the great migration which I thought we were going to early in the season to see. Absolutely amazing!!!Food is important and as a fairly picky eater, this was another worry of mine. I did not eat any of my snacks that I brought! Full breakfast every morning at the hotels. Abraham took care of our lunches from the hotels and buffet dinners at the hotels. All kinds of drinks in the jeep. There was always more than I could eat. The one day we did have a box lunch but ate amongst the zebras and wilderbeasts in the middle of the great migration. (In the jeep of course.)The weather was almost perfect. And I say almost because I got cold! It was their winter and the morning of the hot air ballon rider at 4 am it was about 46 degrees. I had only planned for a low of 60. The camps were a little cold but they warmed the bed with a hot water bottle and I slept so good!The jeep is another important part of the trip as you spend a lot of time in it. I was very comfortable even on those roads. Asphalt highways but rock or dirt roads in the parks. Abraham lowered to pressure in the tires to ensure a comfortable ride. I'm so glad he was driving and navigating the bumps. There was a full cooler in the jeep. There was charging stations and outlets. Opening the roof was the best part and the view!Everyone we encountered spoke wonderful English. They took great care of us either getting us checked in and to our rooms or at dinner. A towel and juice at each arrival. The Maasai gave us a special greeting at the camps. I just really cannot say enough about how wonderful our trip was and we have Shiri Adventures to thank for planning it all and for taking such great care of us.Verified BEST HONEYMOON EVER My husband and I went on a safari with Shiri adventures for our honeymoon in June. Our guide was Venance and I really think he is the best guide in all of Tanzania. Everything on our trip was absolutely AMAZING! We loved all of the hotels, the food was great, but most of all we LOVED all of the parks that we visited. Each was so unique and special in its own way, I’m so glad we visited all four in the northern circuit. We’re already talking about when we could come back to see more!!!Shiri Adventures made this whole experience a breeze- I just booked the safari with them and showed up at the airport, everything else was taken care of. I’m vegetarian, and I was very satisfied with all of my meals- Venance even spoke to the chefs who prepared our lunches each day to ensure I would have a good meal! We saw the big five and so so much more - every day of our five day safari was INCREDIBLE.Verified A 12 day tour with Shiri Adventures An INCREDIBLE, life changing experience with a company and team that exceeded our expectations by afar! I can’t put into words how extremely grateful we are for the time we spent with Laurent during our Safari. He is THE BEST guide in world and we truly mean that. His willingness to go the extra mile, the respect he shows not only to his clients but wild life, and generosity throughout the trip is beyond anything we could’ve dreamed or hoped for. Linus has been responsive, attentive, and accommodating from start to finish during our 12 days in the beautiful country of Tanzania! He has also been extremely detailed and continued to update us even throughout our stay which is a nice touch! Our luggage was lost on the way to Tanzania and the entire team at Shiri Adventures worked together to get our belongings to us safe and sound. We can’t wait to return and we 100% recommend the team for your next trip to Tanzania! Asante Sana!!!!Verified Life Changing Experience I cannot say enough good things about this company or this trip, it was truly an experience I'll never forget.First the trip itself: Over 10 days, we camped and hiked at the base of Kilimanjaro and got to experience breathtaking scenery, the most beautiful stars I've ever scene, and ate incredible 3-4 course meals. We explored Nairobi where we got to interact with baby elephants at an elephant orphanage and feed giraffes at a local sanctuary. I Next we went to Maasai Mara for games drives that were better than I could have imagined. We finished the trip with a couple of days at Diani Beach which was the perfect way to relax and unwind.As for the company: Linus does an incredible job of making sure everyone has the best possible experience. All of the staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable - our driver, Mike, made sure our Jeep was also fully stocked with water bottles and found every animal we wanted to see during the game drives.If you are considering a trip to East Africa, you will not regret booking with this amazing company.Verified Tuck business school group trip My trip with Shiri Adventures was a game-changer. From climbing part of Kilimanjaro and safari in Masai Mara to relaxing in Diani Beach, it was top-notch. The crew, from the guides on Kilimanjaro to the safari driver and the team at the beach resort, were all first-class. Linus, the boss, solved any issues that arose quickly The mini Kili hike was a great start, tough but rewarding, especially with the farm-to-table meals at camp. Fresh and exactly what you needed after a day's climb. The Masai Mara safari was a highlight - saw the Big 5 up close, thanks to our eagle-eyed driver.Finishing off at Diani Beach was the chill-down we needed. The place was a slice of paradise. Linus and his team made the entire trip smooth. Any issue that popped up, they were on it and sorted it out fast.Would recommend Shiri Adventures to anyone looking to explore this part of Africa.
