Awesome safari! Recommend it to anyone!
Our safari trip was completely awesome! We planned everything in advance with Nelson, he was really flexible and helpful on our plans. He gave us really good advices and suggestions. They are really friendly and you feel like being with friends directly on the first day. We saw all the animals we were thinking about before leaving France and they did their best to achieve this. Food was great, driving was awesome as well and this trip will really stays in our memory. Thanks team!

Unforgettable Safari! Amazing adventure and great experience due to Simon and his Team.
Simon and his team made our trip run smoothly, from the pickup at the airport, to the last drop off for our departure. Simply through Whatsapp or a phone call, were able to be in touch with Simon to answer any questions or doubts we encountered.
The safari experience at the camp was more than amazing and we got to see The Big 5 in just two days. All of the staff at the camp made us feel so welcome and at home.
Thank you so much Simon and the Team!

Great Tour Group
My wife and I did a private day safari in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It was a great trip since we only had one day to do a safari. The tour staff were very knowledgeable and friendly as well as professional. Also the price was very reasonable and a bit less than our tour operators with similar packages. Our guide did a great job of pointing out and naming all sorts of interesting animals. The food for lunch was plentiful and delicious. It was also interesting talking to our guide about the local tribes in the area and their customs. Overall it was a great day and we are very glad we booked with Lights on Africa. I would highly recommend this trip.

Lions and Gorillas
We booked the "comfort" tour with Matoke anti was great. This was the 5 day package with 2 nights in QE park and 2 at Lake Mutanda for the Gorillas. We lucked out by seeing lions, elephants, and even a leopard at QE and the gorilla trekking was excellent (except for all the selfie's taken.) Our driver David J was superb. He helped us spot 50 species of bird and handled the amazingly bad roads with confidence and comfort. The travel between sites was long and tiring (even just riding). My advice is to schedule 7 days, stay an extra night in QE Park and another one at Lake Mutanda which is exceptionally beautiful. It would make the travel in between that much more valuable. Also, go for the upgrade to the 4 land cruiser.
All in all, though seeing Uganda at bit is very much part of the interest. Matoke was professional and confident.

Time to Return
I'm in the process of planning another safari (this time with a group; my first visit in 2015 was solo). I'm researching and reading but my heart and mind keep returning to Asilia and Rekero Camp. Previously I stayed at Rekero and Naboisho camps; both were amazing. I still remember my heart stopping momentarily seeing the elephant and water buffalo eyes shining back at me from my Naboisho tent and hearing the elephants munch and crunch all night long! Rekero had such a special feel all through camp and as a solo traveler I never felt uncomfortable. Staff and other guests were friendly and open.
Asilia Africa really helped me put together a last-minute safari that was better than I ever could have imagined. I also appreciate and admire Asilia's efforts at being unobtrusive in the area (and still use my steel water bottle!). Jacob at Rekero and Daniel at Naboisho were amazing guides.
So yeah, I'm researching more as I begin to plan this next group safari, but I know we're ending up at Rekero!

amazing trip with amazing local guides
Everything from the pick-up at the airport until the end in Arusha was perfectly organised by Nelson.
The driver Abdulah has a lot of experience and has eyes like a eagle to spot wildlife you would never find by yourself. The cook made everyday very delicious food according to your wish or just let you surprise :-) If you have allergies or if you don't like something then just tell them before the trip and your wishes will be respected with pleasure.
We did a great tour through the Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro NP and did as well the great hike towards the top of Oldoinyo Lengai. Nelson was happy to organise everything according to our wish-list and so it was very easy to make up our customised trip. The contact while organising the trip was very straight forward and easy.
We can definitely recommend as well doing the tour by camping because so you can feel the nature much more than staying in the luxurious resorts.
--> from price, fun, quality, organisation and etc. everything was perfect :-)
Thanks agin for this great time!!
