I might add that our four K&T trips were not ‘dittos’. Each of the trips was very different. It was a ‘similar’ itinerary, but the animals are not scripted. Neither is the weather. We have only seen Kilimanjaro from the ground once, and Mt. Kenya once. We have visited three different schools. On one trip school was not in session. On our last trip all of the guests were so generous that our TD sent a truck load of supplies back to the school. Other than the visit to a Masai village, and the school, and the weaving school in Nanyuki, Kenya there are no ‘cultural’ events … it is almost pure safari. You will see many species of birds, but that is not a primary focus of the trip. The drivers know all of the animals and the birds. They also have books with them in case they cannot identify something.

The lion cub face is not my picture, but he shared it with everyone so I’m sure it is not copyrighted.

I would put the visa on arrival choice as the choice of last resort. On one of our trips a family of five that arrived on the same flight as ours decided to do the visa on arrival. We waited outside on the sidewalk for two and a half hours while they got their visas. On a subsequent trip I told the Tauck HQ about that experience and they guaranteed we would be taken directly to the hotel … and we were. Your time is short, so I think you need to use Visa Central. Your application probably had a simple error on it somewhere, but I think you are out of time.
