Safari Day 0

We flew from London to Amsterdam, and then took a direct flight from Amsterdam to Kilamanjaro Airport. The flight was uneventfull but long. There are very few flights from Europe to Tanzania, so our only choice was KLM. We knew that we were at the right gate because all of a sudden we were surrounded by people with zip-off trousers, safari shirts, and hiking boots.

Once we landed in Tanzania, we got our bags, and met our guide Adam. We learned that there would be one other couple in our safari group, who turned out to be Scott and Kathy from New Mexico. Once we found them we drove a short distance to a lodge for the night and crashed.

The first night in Africa was uneventful, and we didn't really see anything because it was dark. Adam made us feel welcome, and we instantly liked him. The next day was when the fun would really begin.
