The Highlands - Asilia Africa
The Highlands – Asilia Africa
Set high on the slopes of Olmoti Volcano, The Highlands is a design-forward safari camp offering panoramic seclusion, elevated luxury, and unique access to both Ngorongoro and remote Maasai lands. This is adventure with edge—and with elegance.
The Highlands
Bold Design. Untamed Views. Unfiltered Safari.
Surrounded by thick mountain forest and sweeping Rift Valley panoramas, The Highlands is not your typical safari camp. Here, futuristic canvas-and-glass domes stand like sculptural pieces on the wild volcanic terrain—where Maasai warriors still roam and the mist weaves through the trees at dawn.
This is where safari meets sophistication. Wake to steaming coffee with Olmoti views, descend into the famed Ngorongoro Crater before the crowds, or trek to the rim of an ancient volcano with your private guide. And when the day winds down, return to your cocoon of warmth—complete with wood-burning stoves, leather armchairs, and dramatic stargazing through your panoramic dome windows.
At The Highlands, you’re off the map—without compromising a single luxury.
For our Guests
The Highlands is for travelers who crave bold design, raw adventure, and rare solitude—with every comfort still close at hand. A true gem for modern explorers looking to be far away, and fully immersed.
