It was a fantastic experience!
Peniel met us at the airport and took care of us from there on! He is a perfect gentlemen and is such a good person! We loved him right away and he will always be a good friend of ours even if he lives across the world! He made a big impact on our life and he is so caring and pleasant to be around! We loved our experience and if we ever have the chance to go back it would definitely be through Peniel! Thank you my friend

Amazing 2-day Ngorongoro/Tarangire safari
We emailed Lights on Africa to arrange a last-minute safari, and I'm so glad we did! Peniel arranged everything absolutely perfectly. He works with several different reputable tour operators (ours was SD Safaris, which was excellent), so he's able to easily arrange for budget travelers like ourselves to join an existing group. Peniel was incredibly prompt (responded within an hour!) and friendly in responding to emails, and he saw us off the morning of our safari and greeted us on our return to make sure everything had gone well.
Our safari itself was incredible. Our guide, Amani, was friendly and knowledgeable, and he helped us to spot tons of animals. On the first day alone (in Tarangire), we saw zebras, giraffes, antelope, baboons, many different birds, wildebeest, warthogs, a group of about 5 lions (they walked right past our car!), and dozens and dozens of elephants. In Ngorongoro Crater, we saw many of the same animals plus large herds of buffalo, hippos, flamingos, ostriches, and more that I'm sure I'm forgetting! We even saw an extremely rare caracal cat, which is even more difficult to spot than leopards. Amani also made sure to give us information about interesting animal behaviors we witnessed (like two female zebras wrestling next to our car).
Thanks to Amani and Peniel for an all-around wonderful experience, and I highly recommend Lights on Africa!

All was better than we expect.
We were on bird watching safari. We made a lot of pictures- birds and other like lions, cheetah, leopard, elephant, buffalos and many more. Our guide and cook was perfect. We spend unforgettable days.

The Perfect Day Safari to Ngorogoro
My husband and I only had one day to explore the Ngorogoro crater from Arusha. Lights on Africa provided us the perfect day-long trip. We saw absolutely every animal (except giraffe) and even spotted a rhino. We even got to spend some time with the Maasai tribe!
Spectacular
Laizer and the team at Lights on Africa know what they are doing! What a fantastic experience with knowledgable, friendly and fun loving guides and cooks! They know exactly where to go and what to see to make your trip a perfect one... and the food is amazing!! I can't wait to go on my next Safari with these guys!
You want to use this company!
If you are traveling to Tanzania to do a Serengeti safari and use a company other than Lights on Africa, you are missing out on an incredible and unforgettable experience! Peniel and his various guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. My brother and I went on a safari in the Serengeti by way of Ngorongoro Crater. We were astounded by the number and quantity of animals that we saw in both places! The proximity of the jeep to the animals was unexpectedly close! We had lunch (excellent food thoughout the trip) next to elephants and breakfast near the wildebeests during their great migration.
Peniel was very accommodating of our desires and worked to make our itineary exactly how we imagined (even adding a few days for us on Zanzibar). He even provided us with some great surprise dinners when we were in country. We took a chance booking our adventure through Lights on Africa as it is not a typical "big name" tour company, but we were not disappointed in any aspect of our travels.

Incredible experience and wonderful organisation
Our safari trip was an unforgettable experience - so much better than I could have imagined. The company and our guide Anton was recommended to us by our friends and were are extremely grateful to them. The email communication with the owner was quick and smooth so when we arrived we knew exactly what to expect. Our guide was very friendly and provided us with lots of information durind the trip and Benson, the cook, took good care of our stomachs!
During the trip I understood what people mean when they say that the guide and cook can make your experience amazing or horrible - we enjoyed it so much because people take good care of us and that's why it's important to choose a good company and discuss all the details before the trip!
