Great Safari, Great Service, Great Value
Asili Explorer is one of the best tour operations I've had the pleasure of being with. I have been in 14 countries in Africa and more in Asia and this was one of the best, most professional experiences I've had. Everything was either as described or better, on time, on schedule and super professional. The guide, Joe is extremely knowledgable on the terrain and flora and fauna. The places we stayed were lovely and the Safari on the whole was much cheaper than comparable safaris. Asili is also Tanzanian and locally owned, which is where your money should go, not to the Multi-National Safari companies.
Going with Asili again is a priority for me and my family.

It was unforgetable experience, very rich, would love to do it again.
Four years back, I went on a similar Safari with another company, but somehow my Safari with Asili Explorer was really a wonderful one. My friends who were visiting for the first time loved it. They would love to come back. The personnel were very friendly. we had no problem with the car, the guide went so far as to show us places beyond the price we paid for. I recommend strongly Asili Explorer to any one who would wish to have a wonderful time.

This was a fantastic holiday and Joe our guide from Asili Explorer had a lot to do with it. Everything was well organised. We saw lots of animals(big 5 included). The wildebeest migration was an unforgettable sight! The lodges and tented camps was comfortable and very nice!

Explore Africa? only with Asili Explorer Tanzania
I visit Africa for the first time and thanks to Joe it was really exciting and great experience. He is very professional, reliable and friendly. We were offered 5-days Safari with budget package. His offers was the best in term of price and agenda. We slept in tent. All camp sites were good prepared so we felt safe and had a lot of fun. We visit Hippo camp, Selous Reserve, Mikumi NP, Udzungwa NP. We found many animals (hippos, lion, baboons, buffalo, giraffe, elephants, etc.), beautiful places, waterfalls, visit many villages and local places. We saw real Africa and Tanzania. Joe and Nondi worked very hard to make our Safar successful! Thanks for that! I strongly recommend Asili Explorer Tanzania. This is young company, still growing! Good luck Joe to you and your family! Hope see you soon.

Super Safari with Joe
Great company! I would highly recommend! The best value for money! I’ve checked many, many offers, this one was the best! The Safari agenda we got before trip was 100% fulfilled. We saw all what was planned. The car was clean and reliable, food was excellent. But the best in our Safari trip were GUIDES and especially the owner, Joe! This guy is a professional, honest, punctual, and most important, very nice! He showed us the national parks of southern Tanzania and impressed us this country. Well done Joe! I will recommend your company to all my friends. If I return to Tanzania, I will hire only your company. Greetings for you and your wonderful family.

Wonderful safari experience!
Our safari with Asili Explorer was very good fun. Our guide Joseph was very knowledgeable, an excellent driver and always ready to seek out the best animal viewing experience for us. We saw it all - lions feeding on buffalo, hyenas circling, a sleepy leopard in a tree, hippos frolicking in the mud, and so much more! The safari was reasonably priced, the parks we visited (Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater and Serengeti) were spectacular and the food was great too...thank you Asili for such a great safari experience!

Exceptional Safari Experience
Asili is the Swahili word for nature, and it's not surprising Joe chose this for his business - he's love, respect, and wonder of nature is evident from the outset and an integral part of the Asili Safari experience.
After working as a guide for many years, Joe started his own safari business, and is as committed to growing it as he is to ensuring you have the best safari experience possible. His knowledge of the Serengeti and other game parks, the animals, their habits and habitats meant we saw an abundance of animals, and gained precious insights to their world.
I highly recommend choosing Asili explorer if you want a genuine, local experience by a highly driven, enthusiastic and knowledgable expert.

Fantastic safari experience
Joe is a very professional, reliable and friendly guide. He is passionate about safari and was dedicated to showing us the best experience possible.
Joe is very experienced in the parks and with animal behaviour. We found so many animals including all the big five, three lion hunts from ten prides of lions (one large pride very close up), feeding vultures and hyena and jackals, stampeding wildebeest on migration, hilarious baboons, rhino, hippos, leopard, buffalo, giraffe and loads of elephant families (very up close to one particular elephant) and much more.
We went on the five day safari mid-range package, which from my research, was the best value of the mid-range offers. All the accommodation he uses is fantastic, especially the Angata tented lodge in the Serengeti.
Joe worked very hard and went out of his way to make sure we had a fantastic week on safari (even giving us a Swahili song around the campfire). I'd highly recommend Asili Explorer. Asili Explorer is Joe's company and only a few years old. He is always working hard to improve it. The only improvement I suggested to him has to do with the initial payment process (so nothing to do with safari). I believe he is looking into that, so maybe no longer an issue for future customers.

Your perfect choice of a safari company!!
I went on a four day safari with Asili explorer during my time in Tanzania and I can not recommend is company enough! It's perfect mix of a professional company with high expertise and a lot of knowledge but still suitable size where you feel it's personal and where every group is special to them.
If you look around and doubt what safari company to choice, CHOOSE Asili explorer! You will not regret putting your safari budget in their hands.

Amazing trip in Tanzania
We went on a trip with Asili Explorer Tanzania in November 2014 with two(2) girls, two(2) boys and we had some amazing time. The five(5)days experience in Tanzania was a private safari in a really nice 4-wheel jeep with an open pop up roof and we were accompanied by experienced tour guides Mr. Joe and best chef Habib, during the whole tripe the services were amazing,the guide and the chef were really nice and had lot of knowledge about the parks and the animals in it. We actually saw everything,like Lions,Zebras,Hippos,Gazelles,Cheetahs,Leopards,Giraffes and all kinds of gorgeous landscape. If i would ever book a safari again then definitely i will with Asili. It has so much value on your money, also compared to other tour operators that sometimes carry over eight(8) people in a car. Also if you doubt on taking a safari, do it. Its not even that expensive if you go with Asili explorer. All in all : Good service, Great safari, and its not expensive at all.
