I’m Shafino Dominick Noronha, founder of Shafino Wildlife Safaris. I was born and raised in Karatu between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater, a place where nature’s beauty and power shaped my life from the very beginning. Growing up here, wildlife wasn’t just something I saw—it was part of my daily world, my playground, and my teacher.
With 26 years of experience working across 9 of Tanzania’s leading safari companies, I’ve had the privilege of guiding travelers from around the globe and learning every corner of this incredible land. I’ve worked my way up from safari driver to operations manager, and every role has deepened my passion for sharing Tanzania’s wonders.
I founded Shafino Wildlife Safaris to bring you not just another tour—but a safari that is crafted with care, built on trust, and full of heart. My mission is simple: to make sure you feel safe, cared for, and truly connected to the magic of Tanzania.
Our focus? To give you peace of mind. From the moment you inquire to the moment you head home, we ensure your safari is smooth, safe, and filled with unforgettable memories.
