The Signature Edition

11-day Kenya & Tanzania Seki Set Departures: Mara Naboisho, Serengeti & Ruaha

The Signature Edition Seki Set Departure encapsulates some of Asilia’s most remarkable safari camps in Kenya and Tanzania within a unique 11-day experience. With 4 departure dates scheduled across October and November, the only decision you need to make is which tour to join.
Your adventure begins in the vibrant heart of Nairobi, before boarding a flight bound for the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, a secluded jewel adjacent to Kenya’s Maasai Mara. This rich ecosystem is an ideal starting point for your safari, offering the chance to encounter lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, and a wealth of plains game in their natural habitat, all within a private conservancy renowned for low vehicle density and rewarding wildlife encounters.

Next, cross the border into Tanzania’s legendary Serengeti National Park. Here, the golden plains stretch endlessly and teem with life. You may find yourself tracking big cats as they stalk the grasslands, marvelling at herds of elephant moving across the savannah, or greeting the day with a sunrise ballooning safari followed by a walking safari that reveals the smaller, hidden wonders of the wild.

Your journey concludes in the vast, untamed expanse of Ruaha National Park, a true wilderness and one of Africa’s best-kept secrets. Known for its dense lion population, Ruaha also shelters leopard, cheetah, wild dog, a remarkable diversity of antelope, and over 550 species of birds. Remote and raw, it’s the perfect place to end your safari immersed in the deep stillness and profound beauty of Africa’s wild spaces.

Shared with a maximum of just 15 other fellow connoisseurs, who understand that true exclusivity lies in access and connection, not just amenities.
