The tour includes Ethiopian Airlines flight from Dulles Airport to Addis Ababa, then transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport in Tanzania. Services of Ethiopian Airlines were OK, food and airplane facilities were yet to be desired. We got to Addis Ababa in the morning, waited for 3 hours and then flew to Kilimanjaro. When we got to Kilimanjaro, the local tour's (Leopard Tours) representative was on site to help us on Tanzania Immigration paperwork, then transported us from the airport to Lake Duluti Serena Lodge in Arusha. Augustine Louis is our guide and driver, and has been fantastic for the whole trip.
One of the advices we got from Leopard Tours’ representative was to avoid drinking tap water and avoid brushing teeth with tap water. This advice made us to decide to eat cooked food only for our whole journey. With all required immunizations we had to take prior to this trip, we want to be extra careful.
Duluti Serena Lodge is in the outskirt of Arusha and is a very beautiful resort lodge with beautiful green landscape. It also has a lot of bugs such as misquotes and flies. The lodge does provide misquote net for us to sleep in at night. It was a new experience for us.
