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

Great Migration Photo Safari & Zanzibar Extension ~ 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!

    Easter Egg Hunt for ADULTS!

    Easter Egg Hunt for ADULTS!

    Tavern On the Green, W 67th St, New York, ny, US

    *TO ATTEND GET TICKETS AT - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/adult-easter-egg-hunt-tickets-1983272544569

    (*Multiple groups are co-organizing so the RSVP's shown are just a very small portion of the total registered. We'll have a good # attending.)

    Experience Central Park in a whole new way with our Adults Only Eggs & Kegs Scavenger Hunt & Party! It is a fun way to meet new people or hang out with familiar friends in NYC’s urban oasis. If you don’t have a team we will put you on one as you set out to find fun and historical things that are already part of the park. You will also be looking for hidden eggs and mini kegs along the way. Following the hunt, you can join the post hunt party at a local pub.

    How it works:

    • Come alone or with friends. We will set up the teams (teams of up to 5 only). If you have a team let us know.
    • Each team will have 2 hours to find as many clues at they can inside the park (clues will be in historical markers, wildlife, street performers, tourists, fountains, statues, bridges and hidden secrets).
    • There will also be over 100 eggs and mini kegs hidden along the way (in bushes, behind benches, under statues, and in the Ramble). Each egg will be worth extra points for the teams that find them. Each mini keg gets you a special prize at the after party.
    • At the end of the 2 hours, each team will meet to see which group has uncovered the most clues to win prizes.
    • The hunt will take place between Tavern on the Green and the Great Lawn (67th to 85th Streets) mostly on the west side of the park. The hunt will end at a local pub on Amsterdam Ave and west 82nd.

    FAQs:
    Is this going to be hard or do I need experience? No this is a fun hunt and designed to make the clues easy to find.

    What if it rains/snows? Dress for the weather. We promise you won't melt :) Plus, these events can actually more fun in the rain :)

    Can I come alone? Yes, 90% of those attending this event will likely register on their own. You are welcome to bring as many non-member guests, friends & co workers as you’d like, just make sure they each get their own ticket. Our staff will be ready to greet you and introduce you to others whether you are on your own or with guests.

    Is this age-specific? All welcome 21+.
