Not a FF TRIP. But I am planning an adventure in June 2024 to Uganda to do a 14 night safari tour that includes a day of visiting the Gorilla habitat then fly to Kilimanjaro to do a 7 nights seeing The Great Migration with 3 nights in Central and North Serengeti, one night Maynara Natl Park and Ngorongoro with visits. We would fly into Entebbe Uganda and leave from Kilimanjaro. It is possible just to do Uganda then go back to USA. (Yes, using Amos with Migration Venture Africa for Tanzania )

Let me know if you are seriously interested!!!!!!! I can only take a total of 8 including myself. I have 5 interested which are Two couples and myself.
