excerpt: "Emboo is Asilia's newest addition, having joined the portfolio in December 2025. The camp has been operating in the heart of the Maasai Mara Reserve and is now part of the Asilia family under a long-term lease agreement built on shared values and a commitment to sustainable tourism.This partnership makes sense: Emboo sits right in the pulse of the Mara, where the wildlife action happens daily. It's a camp for guests who want close encounters with nature, genuine connections with local Maasai communities, and fresh, locally sourced meals, all without sacrificing comfort or the planet's wellbeing.Sustainability here isn't a talking point; it's how things work. Fully solar-powered with no backup generators, running an all-electric vehicle fleet, and recycling or reusing nearly everything on site, Emboo demonstrates what practical sustainability looks like. Guests can see it in action, from greywater systems to biogas production, and experience the difference that silent electric safaris make.The camp blends adventure with comfort: mornings tracking wildlife, evenings around the fire, and always that connection to place that makes the Mara compelling. Emboo's team shares Asilia's commitment to doing things properly, with integrity, respect for people and place, and a focus on long-term impact."

Emboo sits in the heart of the Maasai Mara Reserve, Kenya, where practical sustainability shapes every aspect of how the camp operates. This is Asilia’s newest property, joining the portfolio in December 2025 under a long-term lease agreement built on shared values and a commitment to genuine, measurable impact. Accommodation Emboo’s River Suites are tucked into the tree canopy overlooking the flowing river. The design is modern and comfortable, with interiors inspired by the colours of the Lilac Breasted Roller. Each suite includes a private lounge, bedroom, and rain shower with river views. The suites blend contemporary comfort with proximity to nature. Electric Safari Vehicles Emboo operates a fully electric vehicle fleet: Land Rovers and Land Cruisers powered entirely by the camp’s solar array. Game drives are silent, allowing for closer wildlife encounters without engine noise. The vehicles handle the Mara’s terrain, crossing rivers and hills while running on renewable energy. It’s a practical demonstration of what’s possible when sustainability is built into operations from the ground up. Facilities The camp includes a swimming pool with river views, a bush spa, and the Maasai Mara’s first running track. These amenities provide options for guests between game drives, whether that’s relaxation or activity. Farm-to-Table Dining Emboo grows organic produce in vertical and hydroponic gardens just steps from the kitchen. Meals are prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and the culinary team accommodates dietary requirements including plant-based and gluten-free options. Guests can join chefs to select ingredients directly from the gardens. Activities Beyond Game Drives Birdwatching, bushcraft skills like fire-making, and visits to local Maasai villages are available. Guests can learn about medicinal plants, hear traditional stories around the fire, and see how Maasai women construct their homes. Hot air balloon safaris over the savanna are also on offer. Net Zero Operations Emboo runs entirely on solar power with no backup generators, maintaining 24/7 electricity through its solar array and battery system. The camp recycles or reuses nearly everything on site, from greywater to biogas production. Spaces are designed using natural and recycled materials. Guests can tour the behind-the-scenes systems to see how the camp operates sustainably in practice. Community and Employment Emboo prioritises gender balance and equal opportunities across all roles, from guides and chefs to managers and security. Women and men work side by side throughout the operation, demonstrating a commitment to inclusive employment practices. The camp operates with the same owner-run ethos that founded Asilia: integrity, humility, and a belief that tourism, done properly, creates lasting positive impact for wildlife, communities, and ecosystems.
