Asilia Approach

Our goal is to be a role model in sustainable tourism as we seek to create lasting positive impacts on both the natural habitats and the lives of the people in the areas in which we have a presence.

At the heart of our organization is a sincere and strongly developed sustainability agenda as we have no doubt that conservation and community development is crucial for our long-term success.
Without compromising on quality or experience, our lodges and camps answer to the highest demands on eco-tourism.

We strongly believe and encourage the positive force that the combination of our guests, our travel industry partners and our own operations can make to the areas we operate in. Our approach to how we operate can be summarized as one of ‘Collaborative Conservation’.

Positive impact at Oliver's Camp

• Oliver’s Camp is a part of the Terat Village Initiative, which is working to halt unsustainable land use practices in the area. Terat Village is 24 miles from Tarangire National Park, in the middle of the Simanjiro Plains, where thousands of wildebeest come to give birth each rainy season. Immigrants and local Masai people have begun farming in the area, imperiling this important and delicate ecosystem. The initiative provides financial support to the Terat Village to fund the construction of schools. In exchange, the village has agreed not to farm on the plains. The initiative also supports a village anti-poaching team.
   
• In camp we strive to be carbon neutral but any emissions from our fossil fuel consumption are offset through a local community forestation program.
   
• Oliver’s Camp aspires to leave behind nothing but footprints. Our sustainable operations include recycling rainwater and all waste products.
   
• Oliver's Camp was the first African accommodation to be certified through Sustainable Travel International‘s Sustainable Travel Eco-certification Program (STEP), the globally recognized gold standard in eco-certification, for its ongoing sustainability initiatives.
