Unforgettable 3-Day Safari Through Tanzania’s Iconic Parks

We, along with a few friends, took part in a 3-day safari, which was planned as Arusha → Tarangire → Lake Manyara → Ngorongoro Crater. We had a lot of fun on this little trip together. At night, it was fun, and during the day, it was all about wildlife. Our guide was very experienced; he would easily find animals and share interesting information about each place. The huge elephant herd in Tarangire, the colorful birds of Lake Manyara and the magnificent view of the Ngorongoro Crater are still remembered. This safari will definitely be a great experience for those who want to enjoy the original beauties of Tanzania in less time.

An unforgettable journey with Lights on Africa

I and a few of my university friends took part in this 7-day tour, and the experience was mind-blowing! Going out on a game drive in the morning, I heard the roar of the lions in the savannah as the sun rose, saw the hunting of cheetahs in the afternoon, and sat by the campfire at night and talked under the sky full of them. The travel team arranged everything so nicely for us that we never felt bored or tired. Especially in the Serengeti, seeing the wildebeest migration in front of the eyes - that roar, that tremor, that race - still rings in the ears. The guide was lively and knew where to go to get the best view. It wasn't just the safari; it was pure adventure, pure fun for us. If you're young and hungry for adventure, this is the place for you.

The best experience in Africa in just 4 days

Lights on Africa Destinations & Safaris gave us a tour that was incredibly rich in time. On the very first day I saw elephants, lions on trees, and innumerable colorful birds in Lake Manyara. Then Sarangeti - it was like a dream to see lions hunting live here. The moment when Ngorongoro descended into the crater on the last day will be remembered forever. The knowledge and sincerity of the guide are excellent.

I got a taste of all of Tanzania in two days.

My wife and I haven't spent much time in Tanzania, so I picked up this 2-day hike + safari package - and honestly, it was the highlight of our trip. The first day walking the Kilimanjaro Light Trail to reach the Maundi Crater - mind-blowing in a word! And the next day I saw lions, elephants, giraffes in Tarangire National Park in front of my eyes. The guide was very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Everything is on time and hassle-free. In my opinion, perfect for those who do not want to walk more, or have less time!

Perfect connection with nature and wildlife

Over the four days, I felt at one with nature. Every game drive was thrilling. The open wilderness of the Serengeti, the tranquil atmosphere of Lake Manyara, and the unique beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater - everything captivated me. Camping was the ultimate natural experience, which is exactly what I was looking for.

The best trekking experience of a lifetime - conquering Kilimanjaro!

I always dreamed of conquering Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, and the team has been a great partner in fulfilling this dream. I chose the Machame Route because it's a little more challenging but offers a lot of beautiful scenery. The sunsets of Shira and walking through the mist of the Barranco Wall - all in one word, it was a wonderful experience. Guides and porters were always on hand; they handled everything from the pitch of the tent to the cooking of the food perfectly. I'm grateful to this team.

Perfect Planning and Unforgettable Experiences

We had an amazing time on our honeymoon safari. Our guides, Noel and Huruma, made sure that every moment was memorable when we were at Arusha, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park, and Serengeti National Park. We see many amazing animals like lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, etc. Our accommodations were gorgeous, ideal for honeymooners, comfortable suites, a great view, and very tasty food. I recommend this company to all who want to enjoy nature and honeymoon.
