Absolutely fantastic!
After considering various other providers, we chose Asili Explorer as they were a local tour operator and they provided a friendly service, fast response and comprehensive information about various options. Joe (the owner) was very accommodative to our requirements and interests, allowing us to design a perfect schedule for our 4-day safari in Ngorongoro and Serengeti national parks.
The safari exceeded our highest expectations - it proved to be the most memorable, authentic and fantastic travel experience ever! There is no better guide-driver than Enock Fabiani, who relentlessly worked on making it the best safari for us - with his 'hawk-eyes' he was able to detect all wild animals we wished to see, and many more - in addition to the 'Big 5', we also saw the great wildebeest migration, a cheetah attacking a wildebeest, 4 lion brothers feeding and leopard eating his meal in a tree. Enock was always patient with us, and made sure we were comfortable and happy, providing various timetable options with pros and cons for us to choose from. He has a rare, authentic passion for his job and pure love for animals and nature, which showed in his ability to tell us everything about the animals/safari and even connect with the animals so as to tell if we met them again or when they were hungry/hunting/aggressive vs. meek.
We were so pleased with our 4-day safari that we decided to do another 2-day safari after that – with Enock taking us to Manyara and Tarangire this time. Again, fantastic time!
Although the accommodation Asili offered (from lux bush camps to bungalows) were impressive & comfortable, they were still able to provide a competitive and fair offering for us.
Thank you so much Enock and Joe for our fabulous safaris! Hope to see you again soon!

Great company and employees!
We had an amazing private trip with Asili (4 days). The boss Joe is very kind and professional, he will also answer very quickly to all of your emails. Our guide, Ephata was amazing! He knows more than anyone else concerning the wildlife and he speaks french + english. We were able to see all the big five and so much more!! Thanks again guys you are the best!

Ngorongoro and Serengeti
My family went for our first safari with Joe in January. He offered a nice price and good service. The lunch box made by his wife is the best among all the lunch boxes we have eaten. With him, we have seen lots of lions and all the big fives and even the wildebeest migration. He knows how to communicate with other guides which makes him know the location of every interesting spots. He not only showed us around the habitats of the animals but also explained their behaviors. Among all the activities, morning game drive is our favorite. Joe took us to a very good location to shoot the sunrise which enabled me to have the best sunrise photo of my life.
I have to say I would like to recommend Joe to others to have a special experince in Tanzania!

Is not what you see in your safari tour, is also about who you are with!
Great to see that Joseph has now his own Business. We still remember the great safari tour he shares with us four years ago. Never is too late to thanks him. Merry Christmas and very good year for your 2017 next tours!

Great experience!
Our safari trip with Joe lasted 6 days and every day we saw something new and wonderful. Lionesses hunting, leopard having breakfast, tons of elephants and zebras, a mother cheetah with 2 cubs... Joe and our cook Peter took very good care of us - timing was precise, food was delicious and we heard some interesting safari stories on top of all that. It was the kind of trip we can only recommend :) Thank you very much, Joe!

A small company with a friendly owner who is willing to improve his services
The communication was too passive. Changes of the tour programm were not discussed. We told this our tour guide and he was thankful for the input. We are sure that he will improve the communication for further clients. The tour programm and also the accomodations were perfect. We saw a lot of animals. The guide was an excellent driver according to this we were able to make some incredible photos! We had a good time and can recommend Asili.
