Reviews
We name it, and Lights on Africa and Destinations makes it happen, Highly recommended.
My Family and i had wonderful Safari's experiences with Lights on safari destinations and safaris. This time we visited Tarangire national park, the Serengeti and ngorongoro crater. Peniel Laizer the Managing Director organized our Safari pefectly, he replied prompt to all our E-mails , i must say, i wrote a lot of E-mails. Peniel answered very professionel to all our questions. He is very kind and so helpfulness in any situation i can't explain, and he is so friendly. Very professional, he knows exactly what and when to do. For us it was like coming home, lights on Africa Destinationand safaris make this possible. This is something you must experience yourself.
The day of our Safari, Peniel surprised all eleven of us with some gifts "masaai handmade craft" Asante.
Huruma was our tour guide for the second time, thank you so much, "you are the best". Huruma is very knowledgeable a tour guide with lot of exeperiences. He explained us the trees, the vegetation,the birds the animals etc, he answered to all our questions. Huruma know the parks like his own hometown. He also has heart for the nature and for the animals , he is very cheerfully, awesame.
I remember the Situation at the crater, more than 60 cars on one spot, all cars wanted to get as closer as possible to the rhino, our tour guide Huruma was the only one who didn't go closer, he blocked the load with his car so that no more cars could pass, by doing this the rhino could finally escape, this was so fantastic. This Safari was not our last safari with the Lights on Africa Destinations. These incredible experiences and much more with this Company and his Team always stay unforgettable for us, thats the reason why we highly recommend Lights on Africa Destinations and Safaris. Thanks you to the whole team, we will be back.

Perfect safari and Tanzania experience
I recently did a one week safari with Lights on Africa and it exceeded my expectations by far. I am not quite sure how other safari companies work, but I feel as though I hit the jackpot with this one. The safari itself was breathtaking in the Serengeti and the Ngorogoro crater and I was so happy to see all big 5 among so many other animals. I also got to see and learn about the culture and history of Tanzania more than I thought I would. Visiting a Masai village and meeting with local tribesmen and warriors was a highlight. The biggest surprise though was when we visited an orphanage and my guide Laizer already had a box full of school supplies and toys to give to the children on my behalf. I couldn't believe it and it was the most touching thing I could have ever experienced and I will never forget it. Laizer really gave it a personal touch from start to finish and I really appreciated it and enjoyed the whole thing. Highly recommended!

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!
A great adventure - safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
It was just wonderful! My friends and I spent 4 days on safari in Tanzania and the trip exceeded my expectations. We saw more animals than we could ever imagine. Even during the very first hours we managed to see cheetahs running to catch their prey, lots of elephants very close to our jeep, giraffes, a leopard on a tree and more. The next days were even better and a definite highlight was going north towards the Kenyan border and seeing the wildebeest migration. Unforgettable! Our safari was organized perfectly. Antonio, our guide, was very kind, friendly and informative. It is definitely thanks to him that we saw so many wonderful animals. Benson's cooking was incredibly delicious and I miss it here at home. There's not a single thing we could complain about - it was just perfect. I strongly recommend Lights on Africa Destinations company as they are extremely professional, enthusiastic and warm people.

Unforgettable safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
We have just returned from Tanzania, where we spent 4 weeks and definitely the safari organized for us by Lights on Africa Destinations was a highlight experience of this trip.
Before we arrived in Arusha we arranged everything online and naturally we had millions of questions, asked about every detail and we received all the answers we asked for! Everything was organized for us, including the accommodation in Arusha, where Antonio, our guide, was waiting for us at the bus station. The safari itself was a wonderful and unforgettable experience! We were taken care of in a very friendly and professional way. Antonio, the guide, answered all our questions about the animals, was open to all our expectations and listened to our every need. Benson, the Stomach Engineer :), was a great cook, we loved the food he prepared for us.
All in all, I strongly recommend Lights on Africa Destinations company, they are truly professional and very friendly, and the safari was worth every penny we paid.
