Kenya Safari Destinations 

Experience the perfect blend of conservation, culture, and ecotourism in Kenya, where the iconic and wild meet to inspire. 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. 

Amboseli
The exceptional elephant population and breathtaking Mount Kilimanjaro backdrop make for a photographer’s dream shot. Witness the awe-inspiring sight of majestic elephant marching past Africa’s tallest mountain.
 

Tsavo
The combined network of Tsavo’s west and east national parks in Kenya boast the largest protected area and is home to some of the world’s oldest and most majestic “big tusker” elephant.

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.

Kenya Positive Impact Projects

Giving back to communities by preserving ecologically and economically vulnerable areas is part of Asilia Africa’s core mission. By making bold and pioneering investments, we strive to create viable conservation economies and support these efforts through tourism. By travelling with Asilia, you directly support conservation and community projects.

Twende Porini

KENYA & TANZANIA

This in-house initiative welcomes children from surrounding communities into Asilia camps to experience first-hand what a safari is all about. For many of them, it is their first-time viewing wildlife in a non-threatening environment, allowing them to observe their beauty and begin to understand why tourists come all the way to East Africa to see them.

The Maa Trust

KENYA

The Maa trust operates a number of programmes in the Greater Mara Area, focussing on community development and increasing benefits to Maasai families to encourage their appreciation for the protection of wildlife and wilderness areas. Specific emphasis is placed on female empowerment, women’s rights, and provision of education.

Mara Elephant Project (MEP)

KENYA

Across the Greater Mara Area, MEP works alongside local communities to provide education and establish long term solutions to human-elephant conflict. The project aims to protect elephant and their habitat, while limiting crop losses and creating additional sustainable sources of revenue for communities.

Rhino Ark

KENYA

"Humans in harmony with habitat and wildlife” is the guiding philosophy behind this organisation. Focussing on the protection of mountain forests and the wildlife that depend on them, their work revolves around education, job and revenue creation, the protection of land, and the mitigation of human-wildlife conflict.

Kenya Wildlife Trust (KWT)

KENYA

Working across the Greater Mara Area, Laikipia, and Tsavo, KWT focusses on the conservation needs for the protection of predators – the cornerstone of a thriving ecosystem. By working closely with the communities living in these regions to provide education and increased awareness, as well as partnering with organisations like MMWCA, the trust is able to conserve habitat and protect predators in these key locations.

Maasai Mara Wildlife Conservancies Association (MMWCA)

KENYA

Through the conservation of protected Mara conservancies and the benefits communities receive because of tourism activities within the conservancies, the livelihood of the communities is improved, and wildlife conservation can flourish. As the wildlife offering improves, so the communities benefit further from increased tourism, creating a continuous cycle of improvement.
