I’m looking for some advice regarding the booking of flights for the Kenya/Tanzania safari. We’ll be traveling in July of 2024.
1) How far ahead of time should I book our flights? (As someone on the forum so aptly noted, I’m trying to balance cost, comfort, routing, and length of travel in booking.)
2) For anyone who has traveled from the east coast to JRO recently (in 2023), would you be willing to share the route/airline you took? (We’ll be beginning our journey from the Charlotte, NC area. Don’t know whether to go to Atlanta, Boston, or maybe Philadelphia for the first leg of our flight.)
3) Once out of the United States, we’re open to stopping at some location along the way to break up the flight a bit. I would appreciate hearing of any stop you were able to take along the way, whether its purpose was to sleep or sightsee. We plan to arrive in Arusha a day before our tour begins, but think a break along the way might be prudent.
I’ve gleaned many helpful bits of information from reading through the forum, and thank you for any insight and advice you can offer.
