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 just came back from a wonderful trip in Tanzania. I booked my safari with local tour operator and I am so happy I did! They provided great service from beginning to end. Our guide Sammy was extremely professional and helpful throughout the day. His knowledge of the animals and nature just blew my mind. Elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, lions, hippos, the birdlife and so much more. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

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.
