Day 1 - Arrival in Nairobi
After all the time you've spent planning and dreaming about
going on safari, this is where it finally starts. Your guide will
meet you and explain everything you need to know and
answer any questions you might have. And then we'll go out
on safari together.
There's so much for you to enjoy in Nairobi. Everyone who
comes here loves the city's museums, its national park and
other wildlife attractions, but Nairobi also has terrific
restaurants, nightlife, accommodation and shopping. It's all
part of the fun of visiting this dynamic country and will
provide you with so many unforgettable windows on modern
life in Kenya.
➔ Main Destination: Nairobi (City) ➔ Accommodation: Sarova Panafric Hotel ➔ Meals & Drinks: Meals at your own expense. Drinks not included.
Day 2 & 3 - Masai Mara National Reserve
Big cats are sure to be a highlight of your time in the Masai Mara, with lions, leopards and cheetahs all commonly seen stalking prey on the Masai Mara's savannah grasslands. Elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeests, zebras, hippos and hyenas are also often seen here, sometimes in front of a background of flat-topped acacia trees. Impalas are everywhere. Bird-watchers will also love the chance to see more than 500 bird species.
Activity Day 2
Join us for a guided game drive through the Masai Mara, where your guide will help you try and find the Mara's big cats, elephants, zebras, giraffes, and wildebeest.
Activities Day 3 Morning till Afternoon
You'll be heading down more safari trails in search of
of animals in Masai Mara National Reserve when
We take you on a guided game drive. This is the
best thing about many safaris, and you'll hopefully
see many animals.
➔ Main Destination:Masai Mara National Park ➔ Accommodation: Masai Mara Sopa Lodge ➔ Meals & Drinks: All meals included. All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor).
Day 4 - 5 Central Serengeti National Park
When people dream of the Serengeti, it's probably the Central Serengeti they're dreaming of. That's because you're in the perfect place to see all that the Serengeti has to offer, and this is the area of the park where wildlife is present in the biggest numbers. It's also filled with acacia trees and those Serengeti horizons that seem to go on forever.
Activity Day 4
➔You'll be heading down more safari trails in search of animals in Central Serengeti National Park when we take you on a guided game drive. This is the best thing about many safaris, and you'll hopefully see many animals.
Activities Day 5 ➔Come and see the best of Central Serengeti National Park as we take you out on a guided game drive. It really is a terrific way to feel a part of Africa with the wind in your hair as we drive you around to look for animals.
Afternoon ➔ We'll take you to enjoy the sunset and a sundowner at one of our favorite places in Central Serengeti National Park.
➔ Main Destination: Serengeti National Park ➔ Accommodation: Kubukubu Tented Lodge ➔ Meals & Drinks: All meals included. All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor).
Day 6 - Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro is a special place, and the first time that you descend onto the crater floor is like no other safari experience in Africa. This is a world unto itself, one where you’ll encounter the crater’s 600-strong population of hyenas, as well as critically endangered black rhinos. You’ll also find elephants with larger-than-average tusks, and more than 50 lions living in the crater. But it’s the sheer beauty of Ngorongoro that will most likely live longest in your memory. From early morning, mist rises from the crater, revealing steep, forested walls, secret waterways where hippos wallow, and a world of abundant wildlife hidden away from the rest of the world.
Walking safari, Ngorongoro Highlands You'll never get tired of going on a walking safari, where you'll leave behind the vehicle and step out into the wild. It can be a little nerve-wracking at first, but you'll be walking with an experienced guide and it's very safe. It can be a real thrill walking in this way, and most people fall in love with the experience.
➔ Main Destination: Ngorongoro Crater Park ➔ Accommodation: Marera Valley Lodge ➔ Meals & Drinks: All meals included. All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor).
Day 7 - 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 feel like a fairytale 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 – that are always a
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: Marera Valley Lodge ➔ Meals & Drinks: All meals included. All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor).
Day 8 - Departure
It's a pity that it has to end, but this is where your safari
will draw to a close. We're sure that you will return
home with so many exciting and happy memories, and
we hope that you will join us again on safari sometime
in the future.

Safari tour with family
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! :)
