Featured event
Great Migration Photo Safari & Zanzibar Extension ~ Journey of a Lifetime.
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!

Join us for this fun & unique way to meet singles just in time for Valentine's Day! Sometimes we don't know what categories our potential partner will fit in our lives. It can depend upon their attraction, comfortability level, conversation, and the overall energy from this person. Different people give us different vibes. So we have a great way of helping you match those vibes. Ladies will receive complimentary drink of their choice upon entry before 7:30pm!
Ice Breaker:
Upon entry you will screen shot to scan 25 different categories of interests. Each listed experience/interest is interesting and informative. Carefully look over the categories/experiences and choose which ones resonate with you. While engaging in conversations with others, you may find someone who possesses these commonalities and shared experiences that you would prefer in a potential partner. An example of these categories is to find someone who speaks more than 1 language, who loves to travel, prefers a particular cuisine and so on and so forth! From there, it will be easier to make that special connection/s and take a deeper dive into becoming acquainted.
