Finally, my bags were packed and I was holding electronic air tickets to fly to a land I dreamed of visiting for a very long time!
Flying from Cape Town, I flew into the gateway city for most safari expeditions (Johannesburg) and spent a night at a lovely little guesthouse. Outlook Lodge was a welcoming overnight stop after leaving the comforts of my own home. On the following day, a quick transfer to Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport where I met the rest of the group.
Unfortunately after a 3 hour delay we finally arrived at 22:45 at Kilimanjaro Airport. It was interesting to discover the journey took us from Johannesburg to Dar Es Salaam (4 hours), then from Dar Es Salaam to Zanzibar (a whole 10 minutes airborne!!) and lastly a flight from Zanzibar to Kilimanjaro (40 minutes) – Jambo!
