Our Itinerary for the trip

We really do want to be spontaneous on this trip, but I am a huge planner and needed to have somewhat of an outline for the month while we are there.

Here is an outline of our agenda for the month-

5/22- Flight leaves out of Chicago (Thanks to the Ragland's for driving us all there)
          We fly from Chicago to Zurich, Switzerland. We will be staying in Hotel Hottingen in Zurich. It is
          perfect for the night we will be there and close to everything. Holy cow Switzerland is expensive!
          Luckily we are only staying for one night.

5/23- We will leave Zurich the morning of the 23rd and fly another 9 hours to Kenya. Once in Kenya we
          will have a short layover and then fly to Dar Es Salaam. Pastor Fred will be in Dar waiting for us.
          We will be spending the night in Dar and heading to Morogoro the next morning.


5/24-5/31-  Our first 7 nights in Africa will be spent in Morogoro. We will be volunteering wherever
                    they need us, exploring Morogoro, hiking and relaxing.
 

5/31- 6/6 From Morogoro, we are going to head north to Kibaya, Tanzania. We will be picked up by the  Bishop we are staying with there. Kibaya is much more remote than Morogoro, so it will be an adjustment for us. We will be staying on a compound in a house connected to the church or school ( I can't remember which one). There, I think I am going to be teaching English, or doing something in the school.
 

We are hoping that while in Kibaya we can go to the Massai Village about three hours away. I have only seen the Massai on National Geographic, but have always dreamed of going there.

 

6/7- 6/8 After our stay in Kibaya we will take a bus to Arusha for one night in the Davos Hotel and then two nights at the safari lodge. Through a Facebook contest we won two nights stay at the safari lodge we a wanted to stay at. This was actually going to be one of the most expensive parts of the trip, so we are very excited.

6/9-6/11- Safari at Tarangire Safari Lodge. http://www.tarangiresafarilodge.com/
