Experience safaris with Asilia.
that the natural reserves and the animals of Africa are threatened is not news, but it is that it is the safaris themselves that guarantee the permanence of these animal life sanctuaries thanks to its conservation activity and responsable tourism.
This is what has happened in the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania, where 10% of the world's lions live, in addition to other species threatened by poaching like the elephants.
Asilia has been operating here for 14 years, one of the most respected safari companies in all of Africa, and in which the British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, president of the chemical company INEOS, has just invested 10 million dollars. In what? This union has made it possible to create a new safari , which joins the 21 Asilia properties spread across Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar.
Elephant safari in Asilia.
Boar Ridge is the new asilia luxury safari which is located in a unique landscape, dotted with palm trees and baobabs, in one of the mountain ranges of the Ruaha National Park ,Tanzanian.
A practically uninhabited place formed by a desert larger than the New Jersey area, with wild species and a lot of tranquility. Jim Ratcliffe confirmed in Forbes magazine that since its opening in 2017 the threat in the area had decreased.
"My view is that human encroachment is the greatest threat to endangered wildlife and that the only way for humans and wildlife to co-exist happily is when the local human population has a vested interest in preserving the wild population." to Forbes.
