USC YOUNG ALUMNI KILIMANJARO AND BEYOND 2009

Accommodations:

Hotels in Moshi
For our first night in Tanzania, and any subsequent nights planned in Moshi, we'll be staying at either the Parkview Hotel or Ameg Lodge in Moshi. These are the two nicest hotels in town, with convenient access to downtown but set in quieter settings. Kilimanjaro is visible from both hotels on a clear day.

Luxury Safari Lodges
When we stay in lodges on safari, we typically stay at the Serena or Sopa lodges. Both offer spectacular settings with cabins and buildings created to blend in with the natural surroundings. They offer exceptional dining and fine accommodations, including well appointed rooms with stunning views, comfortable beds with mosquito netting, and gorgeous grounds to enjoy an afternoon by the pool or reading a book.

Northwest Voyageurs Luxury Safari Camps
Probably our favorite way to sleep on safari. Our luxury mobile tented camps include large private safari tents for each party with beds and en suite toilet and shower facilities. We also have a large group dining tent with chairs and tables for meals and socializing.

Our mobile safari camps are set in remote areas of the National Parks we visit, allowing us to enjoy a more private and authentic safari experience.

Northwest Voyageurs Mountain Camp
While climbing Kili, we will be camping in our mountain camps. We'll sleep in backpacking tents with sleeping pads and sleeping bags. Hot water is available for washing up in the morning and evenings. Yes it is camping, but we do as much as possible to make our mountain camps comfortable

Our porters carry all of our equipment up the mountain for us, including camp chairs and tables to enjoy civilized meals high up the mountain. Our camp cooks serve a delicious mix of local and international cuisine.
