Featured event
Serengeti Photo Safari & Zanzibar Extension! A 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!

Bingo Mingle and Match
The Westbury, 20 W 38th St, New York, NY 10018, United States, New York, NY, USThis is a prepay event. Please see info and tickets at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1985878128942
### What Is Bingo Mingle and Match?
This is a new, fun and interactive twist on traditional speed dating.
At the beginning of the event, you’ll receive a Bingo card. During the event, you’ll be put in small groups to chat. Rounds will last about 10 minutes and the men will rotate each round. Throughout the rounds, your goal is to complete as many Bingo squares as possible by finding people who match the descriptions. The ultimate goal is to complete a full card. There will also be Bingo numbers on the card as well.
Examples include:- Find someone who has more than 2 pets
- Find someone with blue eyes
- Find someone who has seen every Harry Potter movie
- Find someone who is a school teacher
- Find someone who has traveled to more than two countries this year
- Find someone whose zodiac sign is Capricorn
During your chatting sessions you will ask questions that would reveal answers that you can mark off on your Bingo card. The Bingo card boxes can lead to discussions and you will all learn about each other.
Meanwhile, the host will occasionally call out Bingo numbers throughout the event (like B6, N32, etc.).
Complete your board and shout “BINGO!” 🎉
