    We, along with a few friends, took part in a 3-day safari with Light on Africa Destinations & Safaris, 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.

    My experience for the three days Safari in Tanzania was incredible. We selected Lights on Africa as our tour company, and what a fantastic group of amazing professionals and people they were. I would want to express my gratitude to Peniel and our driver for their wonderful work and warm demeanor, which made us feel at home! I wholeheartedly endorse Lights on Africa for their safari experience in Tanzania. Once again, thanks, folks!

    Lights on Africa worked out an excellent arrangement and great itinerary for our trip The pickups & Drop-offs at AIrports and Hotels are very well arranged. We did not have anything to worry about. The two hotels in Arusha and the lodges while on Safari were excellent. Staff In both hotels and all the drivers and tour guides were great. My wife and I really enjoyed the Safari very much Their guides on the walking tour was a delight and very knowledgeable. I personally had a great time speaking to him and listening to him. Very friendly, informative and thorough Gentleman. We highly recommend Lights on Africa for anyone looking for a memorable holiday
