What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

"We recently traveled through Tanzania visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We were impressed by the game-packed game drives with Gabriel the tour guide from Lappet Faced Safaris. He knew the parks like the back of his hand, patient and thoughtful letting us enjoy interesting scenes as long as we wanted. Above all he drove the well appointed safari vehicle carefully going through some tricky sections where some rookie drivers got stuck The accommodations organized by Lappet Faced Safaris were above excellent. Just the right level of comfort and great food out there in the wild. I would not think twice about using Lappet Faced Safaris again. Thanks, Francisco"

What travelers are saying

"I have been to Tanzania one other time so I am confident in saying that based on my two experiences, Lights on Africa by FAR EXCEEDED my known expectations. Just WOW, from the minute I arrived to the minute I left, well I did not want to leave. Peniel greeted my Group and made us feel so welcomed. The accommodations were SO fantastic, including the food :) but I must say that my Driver; Ray made my trip incredibly memorable. His many years of working in tourism contributed to the wealth of knowledge Ray has for the hidden trails in each park! Not just main roads but what tree is known for lions. Where the likelihood of seeing a Cheetah and where to find them! Ray knows the terrain of each park, has fantastic knowledge of ALL the animals including birds. We were the same 6 people in his Jeep the entire time, we asked a LOT of questions. Every one was answered thoughtfully, and gave us a sense of 'all knowing' and his mechanical ability!!!!! The terrain is oftentimes deep mud, sandy, water, very rugged and touch but Ray knew which way to steer and how to mitigate our ride, not to mention being the AWESOME DRIVER he is, he always (ALWAYS) stopped to help pull another driver out. I cannot say enough kind words or express gratitude to everyone at Lights on Africa, I felt like I was leaving family when the last wave was waved. I can only look forward to a third time to your beautiful country and know who I will be using; LIGHTS ON AFRICA. Thank you, thank you, thank you Kate"

Mt. Kilimanjaro

Highlights

  • After a 4-hour long drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate, you’ll find yourself on the western slope of Mt Kilimanjaro, from where the route will take you to the world-famous Shira Plateau. That’s where you’ll embark on your adventure through all the climate zones – from alpine meadows to eternal ice. The climb is smooth and gradual, featuring the highest success rate of all routes on Kilimanjaro.
  • Six, seven, and eight-day programs are available, so you can choose depending on the amount of time at your disposal. Longer programs are always recommended over the shorter ones for better acclimatization.
  • On the 8-day Lemosho route, the trek from Barranco to Barafu is broken up into two days, allowing for a short day just prior to the summit attempt. This is important because summit day begins very early, around midnight, so climbers are sleep deprived going into the toughest day on the mountain. By having a short day beforehand, climbers can be better rested.

"Our family had an amazing time with Realistic Asia’s package. The tour was very suitable for my family, which included children since we loved trekking. We enjoyed the stunning views, and the trek was at an easy pace for our kids. The tour guides and the staff are very professional and enthusiastic. I was very impressed with their attitude. We were very happy with the service and the places we have been to."

Kathmandu, Manaslu

Highlights

  • ⦁ Mount Manaslu (8156m) is the eighth highest peak in the world from where 10 peaks of over 6500m are visible. ⦁ Toshio Imanishi and GyalzenNorbu as a part of the Japanese Expedition team first climbed Mount Manaslu on 9th May, 1956. ⦁ This trek features all the great aspects of classic trek in Nepal: epic scenery, spectacular suspension bridge crossing and a 5100m Himalayan pass. ⦁ You walk from lush subtropical to the highest mountains in the world experiencing the wonderful culture with Tibetan people encountering the beautiful flora and fauna and also blue sheep. ⦁ It sounds like acliché but Manaslu is an authentic Nepali trekking experience which is really like the Annapurna Circuit to its way back. ⦁ Wonder what Tibet is like? You can gaze into Tibet from the border point which is a short trek from Samdo. ⦁ From Larkya La, you can see four glaciers covering the above amazing views to Lamjung Himal and the Annapurna’s. ⦁ Ancient Gompas along the trail. Not big but often frequented by Rimpoche due to the relative accessibility of Nobri Valley. ⦁ Very beautiful backdrop of Ganesh Himal mountain range, Mount Manaslu, rich cultural heritage, Sama Gaon and many others.

Climbing & Mountaineering Tour Selection Trips

  • Start low, like some ‘14’ers’ in Colorado, and build your way up to higher peaks in South America or Nepal
  • Find out exactly what climbing equipment you need to bring and what is provided by the tour company
  • Ditto for food - is lunch included or do you need to pack your own? Food equals energy in the mountains and you want plenty of both!
  • Some climbing trips require internal flights to access a trail head. Find out if the cost is included in your overall tour price.
  • If in doubt when packing, throw it in! You can always rearrange and omit certain items once you arrive at your destination, but finding technical climbing gear once there might be a challenge.
