Great company, and Staff. Thank you for making it happen for us on our first Safari adventure. Asili Adventure was designated to us thru an agent @ African Budget Safari. We arranged our booking months in advance and we are quite satisfied with the prompt and effective communication of those involved. Shout out to Bronwyn, Monika for our awesome itinerary and the detailed trip information and updates; and to our safari tour guides in Kenya: Jimmy, and in Tanzania: Alex. We had a great time and we are hoping to be back soon !

This 6 day trip to Kenya’s GRV Lakes and Maasai Mara was superb! My sister and I have just finished the 6 day tour of the Great Rift Valley Lakes and Maasai Mara with Asili, and it was superb! We visited Lakes Bogoria, Nakuru and Naivasha - each was an entirely different experience with many different birds & animals and activities to enjoy. Then to the Maasai Mara for the most incredible day of game driving you could imagine! Our driver/guide, Charles, was EXCEPTIONAL. He was knowledgeable, informative, courteous, prompt, and personable. He was great at answering questions about what we were seeing as well as life in Kenya, including telling us some stories about his family, that gave us a great insight into the daily life of this stunning country. All the accommodations were great, especially the tented lodge at Enkorok! Wow! All had wifi in the public areas and some had it in the rooms too. The vehicle had seats for six passengers and a pop-up roof for game spotting and photography. There was also drinking water and soft drinks provided, with a little fridge between the back seats of the truck.

Stellar 13 Day Safari, Kenya and Tanzania Choosing to book our safari through a Kenyan company required a leap of faith on top of research. We took that leap with Asili, and it was the best decision we could have made. Monica planned a trip that took account of our senior status by incorporating bush flights and ensuring that our accommodations (extremely comfortable) were centrally located. Communication was fast and on point. We were expected, met, and warmly welcomed everywhere we went. Monica put together a stellar mix of conservancies and national parks that showcased the best of those two very different experiences. Each was in different terrain, with habitats ranging from savannahs to woodlands to tropical forests. With the help of two first-rate, eagle-eyed guides, Martin in Kenya and Omega in Tanzania, we saw close up all the animals we hoped for and more. Martin and Omega shared their vast knowledge, not only of the flora and fauna but also of the geographical formations that are so striking in the area. Monica and company director Joyce monitored our tour in real time, so we felt extremely well looked-after. By booking with a local company, we eliminated the middleman. Those savings enabled us to stay in some of the most luxurious properties imaginable, most notably Leopard Hill in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, Lewa Safari Camp and Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain Lodge. We have traveled widely, but this really was the trip of a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend Asili Advanture Safaris to anyone hoping for an extraordinary experience.

An African Blast to Remember - One for the Bucket-list We went on an African Safari to Maasai Mara with family members, one of whom orchestrated the adventure. The trip was from August 27, 2023, to September 7th of the same year. We visited several locations within the state of Nairobi venturing into other towns and villages. To sum up the trip, it was an everlasting experience. The Safari was a 3-day awe! Seeing Lions feast on a Zebra carcass to 2 Hippos duling it out with 2 gators. It was like watching "The Wild Kingdom" live. Listening to the other family members in awe was a highlight. Visiting Diani Beach was an extravagant adventure, though my brother was robbed of a bag of chips by a monkey, who ran past him and snatched the chips. LOL. I royally enjoyed my adventure and the many pleasures that came from it. I am looking forward to my next wonder. Cedric D. Watson Texas

ottima organizzazione Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di visitare il Masai Mara, Amboseli e il Lago Nakuru con Martin ed Edward rispettivamente come driver e guida parlante italiano. E' andato tutto magnificamente. L'organizzazione dei safari e degli spostamenti in termini di orari di partenza e di rientro, soste e pasti è stata ottima e ci ha consentito di evitare attese o lunghe code. Le guide ci hanno dato molte informazioni sugli animali e sulle piante che abbiamo visto, rendendo il nostro viaggio molto interessante oltre che affascinante. Unica cosa da evitare è l'inutile visita al villaggio Masai di Amboseli.

Tour of a Lifetime! We did the 7 days Kenya & Tanzania safari via Lake Victoria tour with Asili Adventure. Each and every part of the trip was unforgettable. We had our 5 year old son with us, so we were little worried, but Asili team made it very easy for us. The team was super accommodating to all of our requests, even the last minutes ones. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. All of the stays were amazing, the best one was the Speke bay lodge by the lake Victoria and the Pamoja Serengeti Luxury camp middle of Serengeti National park. We had a wonderful trip, all thanks to Asili Adventure Safaris! We have already recommended them to few of our friends who are planning for this trip.

Short but Sweet There were just the two of us, which made it extra special. Our guide, Jimmy, was amazing. It was obvious that he had been doing this for a long time; his passion clearly showed. Our trip was very short, but we saw everything we had hoped and more. Our tent was more than we had expected; we felt like queens with the mosquito netting. The bathroom was huge. We could not have asked for a nicer trip.
