Leader In Wildlife Conservation

Imagine a land of panoramic savannahs where majestic animals, welcoming indigenous communities and wildlife conservation thrive harmoniously. We’re in Tanzania, East Africa’s largest country, with almost a third of its territory protected for conservation. Since 1992, Asilia Africa has operated in Tarangire National Park, and subsequently, we have become the premier safari adventure pioneers.

We invite you to explore the diverse wildlife spaces and witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Great Migration in the Serengeti and the Masai Mara, where 2.5 million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle constantly follow the rains. Discover the secrets of the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural sanctuary for countless species, and the vast Nyerere National Park, formerly the Selous Game Reserve. Trek the energetic chimpanzees in Rubondo Island National Park on Lake Victoria, or challenge yourself on Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, brimming with hidden wonders begging to be explored. Tanzania, where every journey and all its people are warm and genuine. Let us welcome you to our Tanzania, ensuring it also becomes yours.

Tanzania Safari Destinations

Asilia Africa offers unique, romantic, and luxurious safari experiences in Tanzania, so let us welcome you to our boutique camps in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Ruaha, Rubondo, and Nyerere, as well as partner properties in other popular destinations like Zanzibar, Lake Manyara, and Kilimanjaro.

Serengeti
Witness the world-renowned Great Wildebeest Migration, a timeless spectacle of about 2.5 million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle following the rains across the sweeping expanses of the Serengeti and Masai Mara, Africa’s most majestic landscapes.

Ngorongoro
This is one of the most spectacular places to enjoy a Big Five safari, potentially viewing the rare black rhino. Witness the local Maasai people living in harmony beside the wildlife amidst the dramatic volcanic scenery and landscapes of the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most significant game-rich areas in East Africa.

Tarangire
A hidden gem in the Northern Circuit parks, Tarangire is famous for its giant baobab trees, massive elephant herds, and healthy populations of lion and leopard. Although not well-visited, it is certainly worth exploring.

Ruaha
Southern Tanzania’s Ruaha, one of the largest national parks in Africa, remains blissfully off the beaten track despite being home to approximately 10% of the world’s lion populations. For exclusivity and some of the best walking safaris in Africa, visit Ruaha National Park.

Nyerere
Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) is a vast wild reserve in southern Tanzania, incorporating a variety of landscapes and a diverse safari offering. A few boutique camps are scattered about, offering an affordable and exclusive safari adventure.

Rubondo
Rubondo Island, Africa’s largest island national park, is located on Lake Victoria and is a sanctuary for endangered chimpanzees. Over 75 per cent of the island is covered in pristine equatorial rainforests, home to forest elephant, sitatunga antelope, giraffe, and a variety of stunning birdlife.

Zanzibar
Zanzibar offers pristine and romantic white sandy beaches, vibrant coral reefs, crystal clear waters teeming with marine life, and tree-filled mangrove forests bursting with energetic monkeys. Additionally, it is renowned for its extensive spice plantations, rich tapestry of cultural history, and delicious traditional cuisine.

Lake Manyara
Lake Manyara National Park offers a unique wildlife adventure. You can enjoy the Great Rift Valley Soda Lake, home to thousands of pink flamingos, and spot famous tree-climbing lion while savouring the open grasslands, dense woodlands, and stunning mountain views.

Kilimanjaro
Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro has snow-capped peaks that tower over the surrounding landscape. The climb of this dormant volcano takes six days and offers you a journey through five different climates, from rainforest to ice cap.

Mahale
The Mahale Mountains National Park was created to protect thousands of eastern chimpanzees living within the generously forested slopes. Accessible only by boat, this secluded park is famous for chimpanzee trekking and is bordered by the pristine waters of Lake Tanganyika.

Katavi
This remote park is home to the continent’s largest herds of Cape Buffalo and the legendary tamarind tree. Herds of zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, and elephant are to be found, and crocodile and hippo inhabit the Katuma River. Cheetah, wild dog, hyena, leopard, and lion also roam the park.

Arusha
Arusha National Park, home to Mount Meru, provides travellers staying in Arusha with day trip options and immediate immersion into the safari lifestyle. The park boasts a variety of wildlife and excellent birding opportunities.
