Hi Lovetodiscover
I find safaris very tiring, more mentally than physically. Senses on overdrive eight to ten hours a day. The excitement/adrenalin keeps me going and when I hit Kigongoni that was it, rest time.

So you may just want to sit by the pool enjoy the view and relive what you have just seen.

But if you still have energy...
The guided tour was very good.
The guide is also the driver for the lodge.
Which leads me to Arusha NP an overlooked gem.
What I have heard about but not done is a 4 W drive up the side of Mount Meru, that would be cool.
Horse riding pass...
Room can't recommend any in particular. They will walk you to the room. Check out the room and the view from the patio Meru or Kili, also check for spiders (couldn't resist). If you don't like ask for another.

net warrior,
Thanks for your trip report. I too felt like I was right there with you, blackened arm and all ;) Sorry to hear your disappointment with your guide and vehicle from Ranger.

lovetodiscover,
Your best chances of seeing Kili is in the early morning or early evening hours. During the day, it's usually obscured by cloud cover.
