Private Safaris East Africa

A private safari is an outstanding experience for families or for an intimate destination wedding. It is also ideally suited to special-interest groups, such as photographers (ask about our specialised photography vehicles) or birders. Meals are catered to your every need and — as you have a private vehicle and dedicated guide on standby for your entire trip — you’ll have the flexibility to arrange every day as you choose.

Taking a property on an exclusive-use basis makes it your home away from home during your African safari holiday. You’ll have the camp or house to yourself, as well as your own private game-viewing vehicle and dedicated guide. This allows you to tailor every detail of your safari holiday so you can decide on your own schedule and enjoy chosen activities at your own pace.

Even if you choose not to book private accommodation, guests may still wish to book one of our guides on an exclusive basis, where a friendly and knowledgeable guide will stay with your party throughout the entire trip, taking you from camp to camp as he/she shares the wonders of East Africa.

Asilia Retreats

The Retreats at Sayari and Namiri Plains deliver an elevated level of exclusivity and flexibility, creating a personal space for families, groups of friends, privately guided groups, or VIPs.

Jabali Private House in Ruaha National Park

A sophisticated retreat in one of Africa’s wildest national parks, Jabali Private House offers the utmost privacy and exclusivity in a wilderness area half the size of Switzerland. Built around three majestic baobabs, Jabali Private House offers an entirely customisable safari complete with private chef, guide and vehicle.

Sayari Camp in the Serengeti & Oliver’s Camp in Tarangire

If you choose, you can book an exclusive-use section of Sayari Camp or Oliver’s Camp. Both are configured with two separate common areas and accommodation wings that make it possible to dedicate an area of each camp for the exclusive use of a private group or family.

Personal Guide and Vehicle

When you book private-use accommodation, we automatically provide you with a private guide and game viewing vehicle at each camp. However, travellers can also book one of our incredibly knowledgeable Asilia guides to take care of you throughout the entire trip as you travel from camp to camp in a private game viewing vehicle. Your guide will quickly get to know you and your preferences, and you’ll enjoy the comfort and convenience of always being in the same dedicated vehicle. Personal guiding is available from Nairobi and Arusha respectively. Return guests who have seen the value in exploring East Africa in this manner often make a point of requesting their favourite guide every time they come on safari.
