Explore Zanzibar: Unforgettable 8-Day Journey

When you arrive on Zanzibar Island, you know straightaway that this is a place like no other. This was an island made wealthy by its role in the spice trade, and the superb architecture and spice-filled markets are reminders of that time. Fine beaches and scenery are also found across the island.

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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!

 Verified 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!

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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!!

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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! :)
