We arrived in Arusha, Tanzania at about 7:45 tonight after the long but bearable KLM flight. Thanks Joel for checking us in with your gold flyer card! We met most of the other tour group members on the tarmac, and we all seemed to get along from the start. Some didn't have visas yet, so the arrival coordinator expedited the process for them, and they were actually through immigration faster than those of us who obtained visas ahead of time!
Our drive to the lodge took about 45 minutes, during which one of our guides, Donald, gave us a quick overview of the structure of Tanzania's people. There are 40 million people, and 126 tribes in 4 groups (of which the Maasai, the predominant tribe in the areas we visited, is #2 by population). We arrived at the lodge by 10:00, had a welcome drink, and crashed.
