We left my parent's house for Norwich airport for our flight to Kilimanjaro via Schipol. A pretty uneventful journey, with the last bird of the day being a Wood Pigeon seen as we taxied for take-off. Large bats were flying around in the late evening as we arrived.
Michelle was first through the rather slow customs and collected our bags (which we could see going around and around!) and met our driver Abdul from Birding and Beyond who seemed like a pleasant chap. Sam sat in the front seat, tired but excited, and our journey to the rather luxurious Korona House in Arusha took about an hour. After a much needed beer and shower we went straight to bed ready for a reasonably early start the next day.
