A Meal with Competition
Skip story ↓Already at the table
The lion was feeding when the hyenas approached. For a moment, the meal was its own.
The gatecrashers
The hyenas move in. What began as a meal becomes a contest, with lion and hyena pulling at the same carcass.
The waiting guests
Vultures and a jackal wait nearby, watching for a chance to feed while the lion and hyenas compete over the carcass.
Dropping in
A marabou stork comes down beside a hyena. The gathering keeps changing; there is no orderly queue at this table.
Across the grass
Nearby, a wildebeest herd stands facing the scene. Step back from the contest and the rest of the landscape comes into view.
One encounter, photographed on safari. Wildlife sightings and behaviour are never guaranteed.

ASILI · ORIGIN. ROOTS. ESSENCE.Every journey
Every journey
has its roots.
Asili means “origin,” “roots,” or “essence” in Swahili. Our name reminds us that every journey begins somewhere, and that the most memorable journeys often bring us closer to where we come from.
We create journeys that connect travellers with the beauty, adventure, culture and spirit of Tanzania. From the warmth of local communities to the beaches of Zanzibar, discover the places and people behind the destination.
Experiences that become
stories you carry for a lifetime.
From the savannah to the summit, from local communities to island shores, Asili takes you beyond the destination and closer to its roots.
Before the adventure.
Can we combine safari, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar?+
Yes. Asili creates tailor-made journeys combining safari, culture, trekking, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and romantic experiences. Share your interests, available time and budget so we can shape a journey around you.
Can you help us plan our honeymoon?+
Yes. Choose a romantic safari, a Zanzibar escape, a safari and beach combination, or Kilimanjaro followed by island time. We also arrange personal touches for proposals, anniversaries, vow renewals and other celebrations.
How do we choose a Kilimanjaro route?+
We help you choose a route and plan your climb with experienced guides, a focus on safety and responsible trekking, and support throughout the journey. Tell us about your experience and preferences when you enquire.
What does a tailor-made trip cost?+
Your quote depends on your route, dates, accommodation, activities and group. Contact Asili for a personal itinerary, a clear list of inclusions and availability.
Are wildlife sightings guaranteed?+
