Why choose us

20+ years on the market. High quality standards. Modern vehicles.

Tanzania Specialists

We have chosen to specialize in Tanzania, which makes us experts in the local wildlife and regions, and allows us to create a special and unique experience for our clients (as opposed to other "generalist" companies offering standard tours to many different African countries).

Unlimited Game Drives

Each safari offers unlimited game drives with no mileage restrictions and exclusive access to the most secluded and wildlife abundant areas in Tanzania. Most other companies operate shorter, limited game drives and never end up making it far from the lodge - or the other tourists.

Flexible Travel

By choosing Shilashi, you have the luxury of setting your own agenda (with our help) and you won't be shuffled through the rigid itineraries and fixed timetables that other companies often require you to adhere to.

Variety of Activities

Choose from a large selection of unique optional activities including authentic cultural tours, scenic flights, field talks, balloon safaris, bush picnics and walking safaris.

Personalized Experience

You are in complete control of when, where and how long you game drive, what animals you look for, how long you stay at each sighting and when you return - it's all up to you.

Unsurpassed Service

We are committed to provide you with an unsurpassed level of service. Our passion, commitment, and expertise are what set us apart.
