Kenya and Tanzania opening up

I know there is a thread about African Safaris next year but thought it worth posting that Kenya and Tanzania are opening up for this year. I've been looking for pretty much any vacation I can take in 2020 and just signed up for a tour (as much for birds as big game) that does north Tanzania and south Kenya in November. It's from a reputable South African company (Rockjumper) that's been very cautious and cancelled everything up to this point. But they are very connected in Africa and believe that Kenya and Tanzania tours are safe to run and just added a few. I did some research and covid peaked at a low rate in Kenya and is down to almost nothing now. Tanzania stopped testing a few months ago but anecdotal evidence supports a very low rate there. And wildlife lodges are in remote locations anyway.
Best flights connect through Schiphol (Amsterdam) (direct to Kilimanjaro and back from Nairobi). Americans are not allowed into the Netherlands but can connect through Schiphol to other destinations, which is interesting. Flights are a bargain as well.

I was supposed to go on a safari in Amboseli NP back in March. I have been in contact with my guide and may give it another shot in November.
I have to be absolutely sure everything is clear for every stop along the way, though. I can’t afford to get caught up in any quarantines.

That, plus with how things are changing week to week things could be clear for your travel to Africa but then get caught somewhere on the way back

Tanzania has been open since around mid June. Kenya is just now re opening.

What kind of fares to Kili are you seeing?

Around $3,600 business. That's into Kilimanjaro, out of Nairobi.

Okay, that is cheap! For business class...Delta/KLM?
