Whether you would like front-row seats for the Annual Wildebeest Migration or want to kick back and relax after your safari with a loved one in a private Beach House, Asilia’s intimate properties and experienced staff will ensure that your luxury safari with us is a life-changing experience.

Great Wildebeest Migration

93e4a0de-5209-4dea-a781-4f5b8b088b39
Without doubt the annual Wildebeest Migration is one of nature’s greatest spectacles. Asilia will ensure you have front-row seats away from the crowds. Choose from the luxury of one of our permanent camps close to the river crossings, or stay in one of our seasonal camps that move a few times a year to follow the migration.


Honeymoon & Romantic Travel

ed5aa244-7ad2-40a4-88ef-c7ba24680fcb
The romance of an African safari makes it the perfect choice for a honeymoon or special holiday. Explore the African wilderness at sunrise and sunset, sleep out under the stars or walk along a deserted, white sand beach. Asilia’s intimate properties make for an idyllic setting, and our experienced staff will be on hand to make your holiday unforgettable.

Game Viewing

bdb7c246-1186-4937-8e32-19aa46738574
Asilia’s camps are situated in the best locations to ensure your game viewing is world-class. Whether this is your first safari and you are looking for the Big 5, or you are an old hand searching for a unique sighting, nothing beats the exhilaration of tracking and then finding that elusive creature. Asilia trains its guides to the highest standards and uses five- or seven-seater vehicles to ensure everyone has a window seat to enjoy the action.

Night Game Drives

6f574a4c-f948-4f75-b532-3e7185cb46f2
The African bush certainly does not sleep at night! Learn about and encounter Africa’s elusive nocturnal creatures on a night drive, whether you are searching for the rare pangolin or watching a leopard hunt, you will be surprised by what goes on after dark.

Guided Walking Safaris

e95632b4-530d-4454-a08b-1f5d880ef87a
There is no better way to experience the African bush than on foot, where the tracks, beetles and bugs spring to life. It is likely that you will get close to larger mammals with Asilia’s experienced walking guides but this is the chance to take a closer look at the little things and appreciate the African bush from the earth upwards.

Wilderness Area Fly Camping

2ce3480e-0d2a-4406-a963-aacb6cca54a9
Imagine going to sleep at night with only the sounds of the African bush around you and the only lights the stars overhead. Fly Camping gives you a true wilderness experience; there is nothing between you and the African bush. This might take you a little outside your comfort zone, but once you try it, you will be hooked!

Primate Viewing

98f542d9-6449-450d-b1f5-39f39aa7b452
There can be no more intriguing wildlife experience than seeing man’s closest relatives up close and personal. To observe chimpanzees and other monkeys in their own habitat but with their familiar behavioral patterns is a once in a lifetime experience.

Birding

e1136641-a84f-48c6-b125-56e630c274c0
East Africa’s bird life is rich and diverse, with over 1000 species in both Kenya and Tanzania. For serious twitchers specialist birding guides can be arranged. For those new to birding our guides’ enthusiasm will breed a curiosity in our feathered friends that will have you returning year after year.

Diving

a28b7c96-37ef-4c61-a3c3-a0aa24028715
See the world from a different perspective when you go underwater. East Africa has some of the world’s most pristine diving sites. At Matemwe on Zanzibar beginners can complete their PADI course and more advanced divers can explore the Mnemba Atoll.

Fishing

86668de5-f1f3-45e3-9ef4-be4252b85340
Enjoy the exhilaration of big game fishing. Fishing adventures are offered on the Indian Ocean, as well as on Lake Victoria – Africa’s largest fresh water lake – where you stand a chance of hooking the legendary Nile Perch.

Exclusive Use Accommodation

f4e21722-09af-4ff8-8576-cb7b3b4159cb

September 2012

"I recently took my 94 year old mother on a safari, (her idea), and had been thrilled with the camps we visited in Tanzania, didn't think they could be topped. But Naboisho Camp proved me wrong. The education about the conservancy was so interesting. The animals were visible (and audible) from our tent. And then there were Daniel and Radika, our guides, who were so helpful and fun. Just can't say enough about what a wonderful place this was!"
"All in all I have to say that all of the 5 star reviews are there for a reason"
