Oloi Shorua
Oloi Shorua designs private African safaris across East and Southern Africa for travellers who value time, access and considered pacing. We are founder-led, Dubai-based and operate through long-standing relationships with Africa’s leading conservancies, private reserves and guiding teams.
We do not sell packages. Instead, every journey begins with a conversation and develops around season, geography and the natural rhythm of each region.
East Africa
Kenya and Tanzania form the foundation of classic safari travel. Kenya’s private conservancies — the Masai Mara, Laikipia, Samburu and the coast — deliver wildlife depth and guiding quality that the national park model cannot replicate. Furthermore, Tanzania offers the Serengeti at scale, the Ngorongoro Crater and the remote southern circuits of Ruaha and Nyerere. Zanzibar, additionally, closes the journey at the Indian Ocean.
Uganda and Rwanda, moreover, extend East Africa into highland gorilla territory. The encounter here is intimate rather than panoramic. The landscape is consequently forest rather than open grassland — a different safari register entirely.

Southern Africa
Botswana’s Okavango Delta and Chobe deliver the continent’s most exclusive safari environments through deliberate low-volume policy. South Africa’s Sabi Sand produces leopard sightings of a quality available nowhere else in Africa. Additionally, its malaria-free reserves open serious wildlife travel to families and health-sensitive travellers. Zambia’s Luangwa Valley is where walking safaris originated and where they remain most compelling. Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools and Victoria Falls therefore complete a regional circuit of extraordinary range.
Namibia, in contrast, occupies its own category — desert landscape, self-drive possibility and a silence distinct from anything in East Africa.

How We Design Journeys
Every safari begins with the same foundational questions — how much time, which landscapes, how much movement versus depth, one country or several. From those answers, geography and season consequently narrow the options. The specific properties and guides follow from location within the ecosystem and the quality of fieldcraft on the ground.
We work with a limited number of journeys at any time. As a result, planning remains attentive and our relationships across East and Southern Africa stay current enough to make real access possible.

Arabia by Oloi Shorua
Our Arabia platform designs journeys across the Arabian Peninsula — AlUla and the Nabataean world, the Saudi Red Sea coast, the Omani Hajar Mountains, the UAE interior, Wadi Rum and the Jordan circuit. For travellers who move between Africa and Arabia, both platforms operate under the same founding principles of pacing, depth and founder-led design.
If you are considering Africa and prefer a direct, informed approach to planning, we would be pleased to begin with a conversation.
