Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced that World of Hyatt members now have access to 15 luxury safari escapes across East Africa on Hyatt’s booking channels through Mr and Mrs Smith.

“Asilia has shaped what luxury safari travel looks like, blending thoughtful design, warm, genuine hospitality, and a deep love and respect for wild places," said Laurie Blair, senior vice president, global marketing and loyalty, Hyatt in a statement.

She added, "We know affluent travelers are increasingly seeking journeys with meaningful, measurable impact. Asilia’s approach combines outstanding safari experiences with long-term investment in the people and ecosystems that are designed to help keep these landscapes viable. That’s why we’re delighted to welcome Asilia to World of Hyatt through Mr & Mrs Smith, connecting members to experiences that inspire adventure, reflection, and connection, while making it even more rewarding.”

Luxury safari options include:
