Best safari company & tour ever!
Travel Light Africa is AMAZING!! You will not regret booking travel or a tour with them!!
My husband and I had two free days and one night while we were in Uganda this past April. We showed up to the Travel Light Africa offices after they had closed the evening before we wanted to depart. We had been to three other travel agencies hoping to find one that was open and could accommodate our last minute plans. Travel Light Africa was the only one to deliver - and boy, did they! The owners came back to the office in 10 minutes, and less than 30 minutes later we had a safari trip booked for 6am the next morning.
Our driver was on time both mornings and went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable the entire trip. He was on time for everything, kept us updated on plans (where we were, why he was driving faster or slower, the safety of the areas–Uganda is very safe, estimated times of arrival, what to expect at every turn). We went to Murchison Falls National Park and sw more animals than I could EVER HAVE IMAGINED! My biggest concern was going on a safari and not seeing any wild animals, but our driver knew the right roads to travel to see them. It was hands down the most amazing safari we have been on! We saw multiple parades of elephants and towers of giraffes, more warthogs than I knew existed, tons of oribi, antelope, baboons, various monkeys, hippos, water buffalo, uganda kobs, nile crocodiles, and more!! It was AMAZING.
We stayed at the most beautiful resort on the Nile, had phenomenal meals, and enjoyed the company of our driver, who was a local, and available to answer any and every question we had!
To top it off, we asked the owners where we might purchase Uganda Cranes soccer jerseys for our kids, and they went out and purchased them for us, and had them in hand when we returned to Entebbe.
You can't beat this kind of service! We're already booking our next trip with them and will bring the kids as soon as we can!

Probably the best service you can find in Tanzania
My wife and I want to thank Altezza Travel for our amazing safari experience in Tanzania. We traveled to Tanzania in late February to early March.
Upon arriving at JRO (Kilimanjoro International Airport) near Arusha an Altezza Travel driver Ben was there to take us to the hotel.
Next morning during safari in Tarangire National Park we understood that Ben has an encyclopedic knowledge of the birds, animals, and plant life of Tanzania. He speaks excellent English, is warm, with a pleasant personality and a good sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. This company arranged excellent accommodations at upscale lodges and luxury tented camps. We especially loved the 2 tent camps we stayed at, sleeping to the sounds of zebras and wildebeest right outside our tent. During our 7-day tour we visited the Serengeti from south to north, the Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. We met all representatives of the African Big Five Following Ben's lead, we saw cheetahs and lionesses hunting, a leopard in a tree with a kill, the Great Migration and many other things we will always remember.
If we ever get the opportunity to return to Tanzania (I really hope so) we will definitely hire Altezza Travel and specifically request Ben as our guide.

Excellent unforgettable experience with Altezza Travel
Safari with Altezza Travel Company became an excellent unforgettable experience for me. I was traveling with my girlfriend and few of our friends in Tanzania in April this year. This was an unforgettable trip, the staff at Altezza Travel were very professional and friendly, they were very quick answering all my questions and they always provided all the requested information on the stage of tour booking. The lodges they recommended were great and the price for the whole package was very good.
Our guide, Frenky, was wonderful! Fluent in English, history, geology, geography and in terms of local culture and gave us a lot of knowledge.
No doubt the guide upgraded the whole trip, and we really recommend Frenky to be your guide!
The service was wonderful from all the stuff once the order several months ago untill we returned back at the end of the tour to the airport.
Thanks a lot to Altezza for the journey I will never forget.

A trip beyond your imaginations
I can highly recommend going with Alpha Adventures, it was a high class experience of safari with a guaranteed excitement. A wonderful guide, 100% service minded, was always making sure you had a really good time. Good communication , really easy to follow the program, no complications at all. We had the luck to see animals beyond our expectations: Lions, elephants, hyenas, crocodiles, hippos, etc. It was both relaxing and exciting.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Bruce Finocchio
Tanrangire National Park is also a great place to visit, has much diversity, and here you can see elephant with reddish mud on them, for the soil is reddish in color. It’s known for its large elephant population. I also believe that because of the Tarangire River it’s very good in the dry season as well.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Bruce Finocchio
Ngorongoro Crater is a must visit; it a wonder and a marvel to behold. Here we photograph the only young lion cubs we saw. We also saw Serval and Caracal cats here too.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Bruce Finocchio
Maybe, at other times of year Lake Manyara National Park might be better with more wildlife, we did see some unique and endemic bird species here, and Klipspringer antelope that we didn't see elsewhere.

Review about Arusha National Park by Bruce Finocchio
Arusha National Park is lusher and has thicker vegetation than the other Parks we visited. However, it has some unique bird species and well as the charismatic black and white Colobus monkey.

A vast wilderness where at some points you can see the curvature of the earth.
A vast wilderness where at some points you can see the curvature of the earth—grass plains that extend to the horizon.
Serengeti National Park is one of the gems of the world, a vast wilderness populated by all the animals that you expect to see in East Africa. My party and I were there in Mid-January. We got to see the incredible migration of wildebeest and zebra coming down from the North to the great plains of the Serengeti. The came to the water in the Hidden Valley area, thousands of thousands of animals; quite a spectacle to see. If you love wildlife and nature, the Serengeti is a must destination. We also saw many leopards in the Serengeti’s tree lined river valleys. It is also a great birding destination as well.
We stayed in the Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge, which is centrally located in the vast Serengeti ecosystem. I had a beautiful view of the southern Serengeti from my room. The people at the lodges are very friendly, and our Wildersun guides were excellent—extremely knowledgeable not only about the wildlife, but also knowing where to position the vehicle for the best photography. For, I am a nature photographer, and I came to see and photograph the birds and wildlife. I loved every moment of my stay, for I love the earth and its wildlife. Every moment is unique and special in nature, and that’s especially true for Serengeti National Park.
With my photography, I try to capture the sacredness and individual spirituality of each species. You can see some of my African photographic work from this trip on Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/brucefinocchio/
I really did well with lions, and I have a blog post you might enjoy reading on the Ndutu lions at https://brucefinocchio.wordpress.com/
The Serengeti one of the jewels of natural world, and a must destination for anyone who loves wildlife and nature.
