    When we reached Arusha, we started our journey with the help of Lights on Africa Destinations & Safaris. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. at Lake Manyara and Tarangire, we saw elephants, lions, and many species of birds. Our experience in Serengeti was the most memorable - the moment of seeing a group of cheetahs on the hunt still floats in the eyes. Ngorongoro Crater was a wonder of nature. Accommodation, food, and service were excellent throughout the trip.

    I always dreamed of conquering Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, and Lights On Africa Destinations & Safaris 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.

    I don't usually go on such a long tour, but this 10-day adventure safari experience was really awesome. Every day is a new experience - the huge elephant herds of Tarangire, the chirping of the birds of Manyara, the infinite wilderness of the Serengeti, and the biodiversity of the Ngorongoro Crater. Every day I saw something new - a group of lions, giraffes, elephants, and rhinos, all seen up close. The guide always identified the animals and told us the story of each animal and bird. This trip will be remembered forever.
