Asilia Africa offers exceptional accommodations in the most sought-after regions, teeming with abundant wildlife. We have a range of boutique camps and collaborate with handpicked partner properties in highly desirable locations such as Amboseli, Tsavo, and the Rift Valley Lakes.
Masai Mara: The Greater Masai Mara region in southwest Kenya is renowned as the ultimate destination for wildlife enthusiasts. With a choice of accommodation in the national reserve or neighbouring private conservancies, you can witness various animals, including big cats, beautiful birds, and elephant.
Mara Naboisho Conservancy: If you seek a truly exclusive safari experience, the community-owned Mara Naboisho Conservancy is your dream destination. Located adjacent to the Masai Mara Reserve, this area boasts an impressive array of wildlife, including cheetah, elephant, and giraffe. However, what truly sets Mara Naboisho apart is its unparalleled concentration of lion, making it one of the most remarkable destinations for wildlife enthusiasts.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy: The high-altitude rolling hills of Laikipia, located north of Nairobi, house the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a trailblazer in conservation efforts. This world-renowned conservancy is best known for its role in protecting the last two remaining northern white rhino.

Rift Valley Lakes: A narrow strip of a massive fracture across the Middle East and Africa, the Rift Valley is a spectacular spectacle. Its three tectonic plates shift, slide, and collide, creating stunning features. These include soaring peaks, vast savannas, and sparkling lakes, such as Turkana, Baringo, and Nakuru.
