Editoral Review of Lights on Africa Safaris

Founded in Tanzania in 2012, Tanzania based tour operator Lights on Africa is a new local tour operator that focuses on safari tours and trips in East Africa. 

What Makes Them Stand Out?

Offering multiple types of safari tours such as balloon safaris, walking safaris, cultural safaris and, of course, wildlife safaris, Lights on Africa is a leader in providing high quality unforgettable trips. Their guides are knowledgeable and experienced in leading large or small groups. They are a local safari tour operator staffed by native Tanzanians who know the area, are fluent in several languages and committed to providing the best service possible. It also offers trekking tours to Tanzania’s mountains such as Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Meru, Ol Doinyo Lengai, and Usambara.

Who Travels With Them?

Lights on Africa caters to all age travelers seeking to explore East Africa. They accommodate multiple budgets, offer special packages such as students packages, honeymoon packages and more.

How Does it Work?

Founded by a Tanzanian native, Lights on Africa promises to take travelers  off-the-beaten track to explore the wildlife in Africa. You will explore the surrounding areas at a comfortable pace, led by an experienced local team.

Where Do They Operate?

Lights on Africa offers tours and packages in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda. 

Why Travel With Them?

If you are looking to trek Tanzania’s mountains or explore wildlife with a local tour operator that knows every corner of the country, then Lights on Africa could be a good choice.
