    We spent 4 days on this trip, and it was truly a unique experience. The wildest migration in the Serengeti was worth seeing. We were amazed to see so many animals walking together. The guide always made it easy to spot the animals and made every moment memorable for us. Lights on Africa Destinations & Safaris arranged the entire trip perfectly - accommodation, food, and transport were all perfect. This trip has created many memories for our family.

    Climbing Kilimanjaro has always been a dream of mine, and Lights on Africa Destinations & Safaris made that dream come true. We chose the Machame Route because there are different ways to get up and down, and the views along the way are truly incredible. At the end of each day's walk, tents were set up in advance, and hot meals were prepared - making the experience much more comfortable. I liked the Barranco Wall the most, where I felt a strange mysterious beauty while climbing through the fog of the mountain. The guide and the team were very professional, always encouraged us, and gave us the time we needed to adjust to the altitude. This entire six-day trek has been one of the best adventures of my life, and I would definitely recommend Lights on Africa to everyone.

    This 9 day wildlife experience with friends was a dream come true. Had the opportunity to visit the best parks in two countries - Kenya and Tanzania. We are fascinated by the sight of the elephant in Tarangire, the migration to Gonagon in Masai Mara and the lion hunt in Serengeti. While descending inside the Ngorongoro Crater, one could feel the majesty of nature, and it was fortunate to see giraffes. Every day was a new adventure. Lights on Africa Destinations & Safaris organized the whole tour very nicely, and the guide's ability to find animals was amazing. It's truly an unforgettable journey.
