Although many countries in Africa may have a right of speech, Tanzania possibly has the biggest claim of all to capturing the true beauty of this mysterious continent in all its facets. The Serengeti National Park , with is Great Migration and highest concentrations of wildlife anywhere in the world, the Ngorongoro Crater, the biggest intact caldera in the world with over 75000 animals packed in the wonderful Ngorongoro landscape,Taranqire National Park , with its mystical baobabs, its walking safaris and more elephants than you'll ever see, snowcapped Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain of Africa and - last but not least - tropical Zanziba , with its pristine beaches, excellent diving and snorkeling and historical Stone Town, world heritage site and centre of slave trade in past times. Picture this country with some 120 different tribes of the friendliest people, from the nomadic Maasai to the hunter-gathers of the Hadzabe tribe and that's Tanzania for you.

Asilia Lodges & Camps is a small group of owner-run properties that with small camps (typical 8 tents or less) and lodges in the most wonderful areas of this country. We stay away from the large concentrations of tourists (although Tanzania as a destination is already far quieter than the likes of South-Africa and Kenya) to offer you the most varied and beautiful parts of Tanzania in the most intimate and personal way.

All our places are famous for their gourmet food and have the most comfortable beds and the most spacious and tasteful rooms you'll find anywhere, yet all have their own distinct history, identity and design. However, our idea of true luxury and exclusivity is not in the material things - it's in bringing you closer to the overwhelming beauty of Africa than you will ever be.

Our small and intimate locations in and around the national parks are carefully positioned in the most exclusive of locations, often enabling you to - by car or on foot - discover nature and wildlife undisturbed by any other traveler. Matemwe's beaches, with the finest white sand you've ever seen, turquoise sea, tropical gardens and reef diving and snorkeling, its massages and its fresh seafood is the most perfect of places to wind down after your safari and contemplate on all the beauty you have come across.

Tanzania, delivered to you in a personal way, might just leave a life-changing footprint on your very soul, and we personally await you to make this happen.
