Great Migration Photo Safari & Zanzibar Extension! Journey of a Lifetime!

Great Migration Photo Safari & Zanzibar Extension! Journey of a Lifetime!

JFK Airport, Queens, NY 11430, United States, New York City, NY, US

We all have seen Lion King in one form or another . . . It's now time to go to the source.

Our meetup is off to Africa for The Great Migration Photo Safari! We did this amazing trip in the summer of 2024 and everybody had a blast! (see photos in the link below)

Encounter the exotic wildlife of the Serengeti! Marvel at the lions, zebras, elephants and so many majestic animals we have only seen in the zoo or in movies.

On Serengeti's vast, treeless plains tens of thousands of hoofed animals are constantly on the move in search of fresh grassland. This is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to experience the best game viewing in Africa!

Like every trip we do with Meetup, this one is personally crafted to offer the best places and best use of time.

The itinerary is:
July 5 Arrival Kilimanjaro Intl Airport and transfer to Arusha
July 6 Arusha to Tarangire National Park
July 7 Ngorongoro Crater full day game drive
July 8 Ngorongoro to Serengeti National Park (Central Seronera area)
July 9 Serengeti (Central)
July 10 Northern Serengeti (Kogatende)
July 11 Northern Serengeti (Kogatende)
July 12 Northern Serengeti (Kogatende) to Lake Natron
July 13 Lake Natron to Arusha
July 14 Arusha to Kilimanjaro International Airport

All of these locations don't mean much to you at the moment, but after the trip you will remember them forever as some of the best places you have ever visited!

African Migration Safari $4998 per person, double occupancy.
Single supplement $750. I.e. price for a solo accommodation $5748

    Meet Your Match Compatibility Speed Dating Event NYC- Ages 30s-40s

    The Dawson 39, NY, US

    Get details and tickets at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1978711380003
    IMPORTANT NOTE: CLICKING THE "RSVP AND PAY ORGANIZER DIRECTLY BUTTON" ON MEETUP DOES NOT GET YOU A TICKET/SPOT. YOU HAVE TO CLICK THE LINK TO THE EVENTBRITE PAGE AND PURCHASE A TICKET THERE. PRICE GOES UP AS EVENT TIME APPROACHES AND MAY SELL OUT SO GET YOUR TICKET ON EVENTBRITE ASAP.

    * Check in starts 15 minutes before event start time so if possible please arrive a bit early.
    At this event you will be going on a series of about 10 to 15 mini dates with each date lasting about 5 minutes each. Women stay seated and the men rotate from table to table until they meet each woman.
    You will get a match card and at the end of each mini-date you'll indicate whether or not you'd like to see the person again. At the end of the evening you will hand your match card in to the event host. If you both select each other, we will send you each others' email address the next day so you can set up a future date! Within 48hrs, you'll receive an email with the first name and email of your mutual matches. We do not give out names or contact info unless there is a mutual match.
    Our Speed Dating events tend to attract quality, single professionals who are done with the dating games and ready to meet that special someone. Most people know within a few minutes if they would like to see someone again.
    We will have fun, ice breaker questions available to pull out of an envelope on the tables so there will never be a lull in conversation. The questions are also a great way to gauge chemistry with the other person.

  • "Winter Warm-Up" Party

    "Winter Warm-Up" Party

    Bill's Supper Club, 57 East 54th St, New York, NY 10022, New York, NY, US

    *TO ATTEND GET TICKETS AT - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/winter-warm-up-party-tickets-1980273426125 (Limited # save $5 with discount code "5" at checkout. Multiple groups are co-organizing so the RSVP's shown are just a very small portion of the total attending. We have a good # already registered.)

    Baby it’s cold outside! Come in out of the cold and into a warm welcoming atmosphere with our Winter Warm Up Party at Bill’s Supper Club in midtown!

    ## How It Works:

    From the moment you walk in, you’re not on your own — hosts will be there to welcome you, introduce you to others, and make sure you feel welcome right away.

    To make meeting people easy (and actually fun), we’ll run several rounds of quick, low-pressure icebreakers designed to help you connect naturally with others throughout the night.

    Expect a lively crowd of up to 50 all coming together to mix, mingle, network, and make real connections. Plus, we’ll have music at conversational levels so you can actually talk and enjoy the vibe.
    Bonus Perks:everyone who registers on the nysn website attends receives a FREE voucher to use at an upcoming event!

    The goal of this evening is for everyone in attendance to make new friends and connections over cocktails and conversation. Mix and mingle in a relaxed environment. We will have several interactive activities to connect you with others looking for the same things as you.

    FAQs:
    How should I dress? Neat casual. No sweats, hats, etc. Nice jeans ok.
    Is this event age specific? All are welcome, 21 & older.
    Can I come alone? Yes, most will come on their own. If you don't know anyone, the ice breakers will help you meet other members. So come alone or bring a friend or two - either way you will feel comfortable and have a great time.
    How many will be attending? This is a multi-Meetup group event. We'll have up to 50 attending.

    Come on out and check out this unique twist on speed dating. Join us for a unique social event for singles in NYC! Come on out and make new social connections, win raffle prizes and meet other fun singles.
    Our friendly host will welcome everyone and then you'll be grouped off into separate tables where you'll get to meet, chat with and play fun social games with other singles in small groups of about 5-7 people. Then, similar to traditional speed dating, you'll rotate from table to table getting a chance to meet all the other singles in attendance. You'll be handed a "match sheet" and at the end of the event you'll be able to indicate people you'd like to talk to again in the future. If they also choose you, our host will send you each others' contact information within about 48 hours after the event and you can feel free to set up a date with them.

    *TO ATTEND GET TICKETS AT THIS LINK

    https://www.weekenddating.com/event-details.aspx?id=13252#tix

    *Register at the bolded ticket link in the full event description.

    (These sell out quickly so if you'd like participate, please register ASAP. Multiple groups are co-organizing so the RSVP's shown are just a small portion attending. We have a good # registered and we keep the gender ratio even.)

    This is the perfect event to meet singles from the tri-state area - all from the comfort of your own home. Get to meet people online before meeting them in person! You will meet singles via your computer with webcam or smartphone/tablet (strong WiFi connection required if using a phone).

    HOW DOES IT WORK?

    We will break participants into pairs of two, just like we do with traditional speed dating. You will get to speak to each dates for a specified amount of time (typically 4-6 minutes). After the specified number of minutes, the guys will rotate to the next date and the process continues.

    Just like with traditional speed dating, at the end of the event you will be able to let us know who you were interested in. We will send you both mutual matches (you picked them and they picked you) as well as one way matches (they picked you but you did not pick them).

    You are given 20 minutes from the end of the event to let us know who you are interested in and will receive the results the same night (usually within one hour) or the next morning. You will not have to wait 24 hours or more to get your results.

    The minimum number of potential dates will be 5 and the maximum will be about 10. If there are less than 5 members of the opposite sex in attendance, you will get credit for a future virtual event.

    How do I find the Zoom Room?

    After you purchase your ticket, you will get a confirmation appear on your screen along with the Zoom link for you to use to log in.

    Cost? Between $23-$25 depending on how early you register.

    Rsvps on here are not reflective of actual attendance as this is a multi group event.
