Asilia
Asilia Africa takes its name from the Swahili words for “authentic” and “genuine” – values that define everything we do. For decades, we’ve been leading the way in offering unforgettable immersive safari experiences across East Africa.Our legacy began with Rekero Camp in 1986 and Oliver’s Camp in 1992. Driven by a commitment to the region and a desire to make a meaningful impact, we joined forces in 2004 to create Asilia. Today, we’re a leading safari operator with 17 bespoke camps and lodges across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, employing over 1,000 people. Asilia’s enduring spirit and devotion to conservation inspire a new generation of adventurers and conservationists alike.An Asilia safari is more than staying in luxurious camps – it’s about being part of a movement that believes in the power of tourism to establish lasting positive change. We’re committed to responsibly sourcing our energy, supplies, and materials while uplifting and supporting our local staff and collaborating with communities and conservation programmes.As a proud member of the B Corp Certified Nawiri Group, we work alongside responsible travel companies, local communities, and expert partners to deliver long-term positive impact at scale across East Africa.
