African Safaris by 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. Every journey begins with a conversation and develops from there 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. Tanzania offers the Serengeti at scale, the Ngorongoro Crater, the remote southern circuits of Ruaha and Nyerere, and Zanzibar for those who want to close a safari journey at the Indian Ocean.
Uganda and Rwanda extend East Africa into highland gorilla territory — a different safari register entirely, where the encounter is intimate rather than panoramic and the landscape is forest rather than open grassland.

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, while its malaria-free reserves open serious wildlife travel to families and health-sensitive travellers. Zambia’s Luangwa Valley is where walking safaris were developed and where they remain most compelling. Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools and Victoria Falls complete a regional circuit of extraordinary geographical and ecological range.
Namibia occupies its own category — desert landscape, self-drive possibility and a different kind of silence from anything in East Africa.

How We Design Journeys
Every safari begins with the same set of foundational questions — how much time, which landscapes, how much movement versus depth, one country or several, family or couple or individual. From those answers, geography and season 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. This keeps planning attentive and allows us to maintain the relationships across East and Southern Africa that make real access possible.

Arabia by Oloi Shorua
Our Arabia platform designs private 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 travel both 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.
