What is special about travelling with Asilia Africa?

Travelling with Asilia Africa offers more than just a safari, it’s a journey shaped by authenticity, respect for place, and meaningful impact. Each experience is guided by deep local knowledge, a genuine care for East Africa’s wild spaces, and a long-term commitment to the people and ecosystems that call them home.

Asilia’s camps are tucked away in some of the region’s most remote and wildlife-rich areas, placing guests close to nature and far from the crowds. Stays are quietly tailored, with the option of private guides, flexible itineraries, and the kind of hospitality that feels warm, personal and unforced. Whether you’re tracking lions in the Serengeti, drifting down a river in the Selous, or walking among elephants in Tarangire, the experience feels grounded and real.

But what truly sets Asilia apart is its sense of purpose. Every journey contributes to conservation efforts, to local livelihoods, and to a more sustainable way of exploring. Camps are built and operated with care for their surroundings, and the company invests directly in rewilding projects, education, and long-term community partnerships.

With Asilia, you’re not just seeing Africa’s beauty. You’re part of something larger. A story of connection, responsibility, and shared future. This is travel that matters.

What is the philosophy behind Asilia Africa?

At its core, Asilia Africa believes that tourism can and should be a force for good. The company was founded on the idea that exceptional safari experiences can go hand in hand with protecting wild places and supporting the people who live closest to them. Every choice — from where a camp is built to how it’s run — is made with long-term impact, care, and responsibility in mind.

Asilia’s approach is built on the understanding that healthy ecosystems and strong local communities are deeply connected. That’s why camps are placed in remote, ecologically vital areas and designed to leave a light footprint. They’re staffed largely by people from nearby regions, so every stay helps support jobs, education, and conservation on the ground. Asilia offsets its carbon footprint through a mix of verified carbon reduction projects, including forest conservation and community-based reforestation initiatives, reinforcing its commitment to responsible travel.

Being part of Conscious Explorer speaks to Asilia’s ongoing commitment to meaningful, responsible travel. This isn’t about luxury for its own sake — it’s about experiences that offer depth, insight and connection. Guests are invited to actively engage with the places they visit: track wildlife with local guides, learn about conservation work, or simply pause to take in the rhythm of the natural world.

Their purpose is simple but powerful: to create journeys that leave a lasting, positive impact — and to help travellers do the same.

What experiences does Asilia Africa offer?

Asilia Africa offers a diverse range of carefully crafted safari experiences across some of East Africa’s most iconic and untouched landscapes. With camps and lodges in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda, Asilia welcomes travellers seeking immersive journeys that combine comfort, authenticity, and a strong conservation ethos.

You can choose from classic game-drive safaris in the Serengeti, Maasai Mara, or Ruaha, or opt for more specialised adventures such as walking safaris in the southern parks, fly camping under the stars, or boat safaris through the waterways of the Selous. Every stay is personalised, with options for private guides, family-friendly setups, and interest-based travel including photography, birding, or cultural exploration.

Signature experiences include chimpanzee trekking on Rubondo Island, conservation-focused safaris in the Usangu Wetlands, and seasonal migration stays in mobile camps that follow the wildebeest herds.

For those looking to dive deeper, Asilia also offers conservation-driven programmes where you can meet researchers, contribute to fieldwork, or learn more about community-led initiatives. These experiences add purpose and depth to every safari.

Whether you’re staying in a remote tented camp or a stylish lodge, you can expect meaningful travel that supports conservation, uplifts communities, and leaves a light footprint. Every journey with Asilia is designed to inspire, connect, and contribute.
