Serengeti Photo Safari & Zanzibar Extension! A Journey of a Lifetime..

Serengeti Photo Safari & Zanzibar Extension! A Journey of a Lifetime..

John F. Kennedy International Airport, Queens, NY 11430, United States, New York, 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!

Single supplement $750. I.e. price for a solo accommodation $5748

    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 åappear 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.
