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.

Our Safari has delivered more than we could have ever hoped for. A memory you will never forget in your heart. Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and the Serengeti National Park—each one is unique, with a unique blend of nature. From the huge flocks of animals in the vast meadows of the Serengeti to the charming flamingos of Lake Manyara, every moment was spectacular and unforgettable. Our entire trip was a success.

This was an unforgettable gorillas trekking adventure with my dad in Bwindi Impenetrable forest with Christopher who works for this local travel specialist. Nicholas did a terrific job with the booking; permits, transport and accommodations all went smoothly. The tough 4 hours trek up the mountain was rewarded with amazing close sighting of the magnificent apes. Christopher was very helpful and great company during the whole trip from Kigali to Bwindi and back. We are very impressed with the whole experience with this travel expert. They are professionals and really know their stuff.
This is a 2 days safari in Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of Kenya's best national parks for game viewing.
We pick you up from your hotel in Nairobi and drop you off at the same place in Nairobi after the safari. Hereafter, two days of fantastic game viewing drives awaits in Maasai Mara National Reserve. During the safari we will also stop over at Rift Valley Viewpoint for breathtaking photographs of the Great Rift Valley.
Maasai Mara National Reserve has plenty of wildlife including but not limited to wild herbivore herds, the Big Five, birds many other animals.
This short safari trips ensures that you do not miss out on anything that a person taking a 2 day safari will do. This trip is suitable for clients without a lot of time in Kenya. This will be an unforgettable experience for anyone visiting Kenya for the first time, or even for seasoned travellers with only a few days to spare.
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.

We chose this 2-day tour for a short weekend trip, and honestly it was much more than expected. On the first day I entered Tarangire National Park, I was overwhelmed to see huge elephant herds, zebras, giraffes, and lions. The guide explained to us all about the animals. On the second day, while descending to the Ngorongoro Crater, the whole scene is like a dream world - seeing black rhinos, lions, hippos, and innumerable gonos together is a truly amazing experience. Although time was limited, I didn't expect to see so much together. Perfect tour for those who want to taste Africa in a short time.
