*If you want to be dropped off at Nairobi instead of Kilimanjaro International, it would be complimentary if we are going back that way. Most likely we are.

*If you wish to end your safari on the Indian Ocean’s white sand beaches in Zanzibar, it’s a 12 hour drive one-way. We suggest a flight for a reasonable amount.
