What Shauku Afrika Stands For

At Shauku Afrika, I take you on a journey that few get to experience. Tanzania is home to some of the most remarkable and last truly wild places in Africa, but mass tourism is leaving its mark on many areas. That’s why I focus on the paths less traveled – places where nature remains unspoiled, where you won’t feel like just another tourist, and where your encounters with Tanzanians are genuine and meaningful. You will experience stories that reflect the heart of the country and continent.

I work only with lodges and camps that share a strong ethical approach—places that treat their staff with respect, practice sustainable safari tourism, and give back to the land and local communities. The safari guides you’ll meet are among the best in Tanzania. Their passion for nature is real. They’ve spent years training, honing their skills, and collecting game-drive hours, much like pilots collect flight hours. They know the surroundings of the camps and lodges intimately and ensure that wildlife feels undisturbed while guiding you to spectacular sightings and keeping you safe. They speak perfect English, understand conservation in a broader context, and their love for nature is contagious.

Shauku Afrika stands for safaris that are 100% tailored to who you are and what you need. It all starts with a personal conversation—listening to what matters most to you and sharing in the excitement of what’s to come.

‘Shauku’ (pronounced sha-u-ku) is Swahili for the passion that I developed for Africa and especially Tanzania—a passion I’m eager to share with you, and one you’ll surely develop during your journey.
