Oloi Shorua is a Dubai-based African safari specialist designing private, tailor-made journeys across East and Southern Africa.
Our relationship with Africa stretches back nearly three decades. Founder Shantanu Chand first travelled to Kenya in 1997, followed by Tanzania and journeys across the continent. The name Oloi Shorua was given to him by a Maasai chief in the Masai Mara and reflects a philosophy that remains at the heart of the company: travel should create a genuine connection with a place, rather than simply move through it.
We specialise in individually designed private safaris rather than fixed departures. Every journey begins with the traveller — their interests, pace, preferred style of accommodation, budget and the experiences that matter most to them. From there, we build the journey around the individual rather than fitting the traveller into a predetermined itinerary.
Our safari destinations include Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. We design journeys ranging from classic wildlife safaris and private conservancy stays to walking safaris, gorilla and primate encounters, the Okavango Delta, Victoria Falls, Cape Town and the Winelands, as well as Indian Ocean extensions.
We work with carefully selected camps, lodges, guides and trusted ground partners across Africa. We coordinate the complete journey, including arrival arrangements, road and air transfers, internal flights, accommodation and safari activities, while remaining involved throughout the planning process.
Based in Dubai, Oloi Shorua has particular experience designing African journeys for travellers from the UAE and wider GCC. This combines detailed knowledge of Africa with an understanding of regional flight connections, travel patterns and the expectations of guests travelling from the Gulf. We also design safaris for travellers from around the world.
Our approach is straightforward: understand the traveller first, then design the safari around them.
