Dear ABOTA Friends:

Awesome, amazing and wonderfully wild were our reactions
to our site visit to East Africa! The natural beauty of the people,
landscape and animal life stimulated our senses beyond
measure. We are excited to invite you to join us for the ABOTA
2020 International Meeting in Tanzania.

The Pre-Trip Option begins with two days of relaxation and
exploration at the brand-new Melia Arusha Resort in Arusha,
a bustling, international city located at the base of volcanic,
Mt. Meru and near Africa’s highest peak, Mt. Kilimanjaro.
We then continue with two-days of safari in the Tarangire
National Park. This vast landscape is dotted with magnificent baobab trees and a wide variety of
wildlife including its large elephant population. In Tarangire, you will have a choice of two award-
winning and stunning properties, the Tarangire Treetops and the Sanctuary Swala.

The Main Safari includes two days in Arusha and the crown jewels in the Northern Tanzania
safari circuit, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti National Park. For those not participating
in the Pre-Trip, our journey also begins in Arusha. Because of its proximity to Kilimanjaro Airport
and safari reserves, Arusha is a busy gateway for people from all corners of the world, embarking
upon amazing and unique travel experiences. Its attractions include world-famous coffee farms, the
Arusha Cultural Heritage Center, and the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal. Our home
for these two days will be the newest luxury hotel, the Melia Arusha Resort, expected to open soon.
Our next stop for two days will be the pre-historic natural wonder known as the Ngorongoro Crater,
where you will have a choice between two different lodges—the legendary Ngorongoro Crater Lodge
and the stunning Serena Safari Lodge. Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unflooded and unbroken
caldera. It is lush with vegetation and home to thousands of unique and diverse wildlife, such as
zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, elephants, lions, hyenas, rhinos and even flamingos. The ecosystem that
developed in this eroded volcanic crater is absolutely remarkable! The group from The Pre-Trip will
join us here. Our last stop on The Main Safari will be the Serengeti National Park, home to the greatest
wildlife spectacle on earth—the great migration of wildebeests and zebras. Vast, rich grasslands and
plenty of water sources attract herds of wildebeests and zebras and the predators that hunt them
along with the almighty elephants. Game viewing is the major highlight of the Serengeti but the Four
Seasons is a destination on its own with its beautiful accommodations and grounds, heavenly spa,
and exquisite culinary experience. Our four-night stay will be truly memorable.
Our Post-Trip Option is Zanzibar—the exotic and alluring island off the coast of the mainland in the
breathtaking turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Boasting some of the most beautiful white-sand
beaches in the world, Zanzibar is the perfect ending with three days of relaxation, history and culture.
We spend the first day in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Stone Town. Zanzibar’s capital city has
been described as an “exotic multicultural melting pot.” Whether enjoying historical architecture,
or exploring the narrow winding streets, or simply savoring a delicious meal overlooking the dhow
boats, Zanzibar is a must-see! We then travel to the north coast to experience three nights of beach
and coastal cuisine at the luxurious and eco-friendly, Zuri Resort.

Mountain Gorilla trekking in Rwanda is a Post-Trip Option but can also be a pre-trip option.
Please contact Carrousel Travel for more details or for any custom travel arrangements.

Splendid African sunsets and sundowners are awaiting us! We hope you will join us on this
wild and wonderful journey through Tanzania and beyond.

With warmest regards,

Judy and Luther Battiste

WILD & WONDERFUL AFRICA: MAIN SAFARI | FEBRUARY 29-MARCH 8, 2020 TANZANIA AND BEYOND - Carrousel Travel
PRE-TRIP EXTENSION | FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 2, 2020

  In Tarangire National Park, the wildlife only tells half the
   story. Great stands of epic thousand-year old baobab
    trees, an abundance of sun-blistered termite mounds,
     grassy savannah plains, spectacular sunsets, vast
      swamps and the meandering Tarangire River (cutting
       the park in two) are just as enthralling. Nowhere else
        in Tanzania will you find as many baobab trees as
          you will here. Known as the tree of life, the baobab
           can live upwards of 600 years and gets its striking
             and distinct shape from the fact that it can
              store nearly 300 gallons of water in its bloated
                 trunk. One of Tarangire’s claims to fame is
                    its large elephant population - certainly
                       the largest in Tanzania. With its wide
                           variety of habitats and food sources,
                               the park is also popular with
                                    birds (over 550 species) and
                                          birdwatchers.

MAIN SAFARI | FEBRUARY 29-MARCH 2, 2020

   Located near the base of Mount Meru, Arusha
  is Tanzania’s main safari gateway and the third
 largest city in the country. Nicknamed the Geneva
 of Africa, Arusha is an international diplomatic hub
and has hosted many high-level conferences. In 1994,
the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda was
established in Arusha to investigate and prosecute
individuals responsible for the genocide that took
place during Rwanda’s civil war.

 Shanga (Swahili for bead) is a brand and social
  enterprise founded in Arusha in 2007. Handmade
   products such as scarves, glassware, jewelry, home
    goods and more are available for purchase and are
     all made by artisans with disabilities who would
      not otherwise be employed. A visit to Shanga can
        include a workshop tour to see artisans in action.

         Arusha Cultural Heritage Center is the place to
          buy distinct and good quality artwork that will
            remind you of your travels through Tanzania.
              The cultural center is renowned for its
                 architecture and collection of art. It
                    showcases paintings, photography,
                         sculptures, woodwork and
                             everything in between.

WILD & WONDERFUL AFRICA: MAIN SAFARI | FEBRUARY 29-MARCH 8, 2020 TANZANIA AND BEYOND - Carrousel Travel
MAIN SAFARI | MARCH 2-4, 2020

        Encompassing       three    spectacular
       volcanic craters, the Olduvai Gorge,
      huge expanses of savannah, forest and
     bush land, the Ngorongoro Conservation
    Area is the flagship of Tanzania’s tourism
   industry. It is also the only place on earth
   where mankind and wild animals coexist
  in harmony.

  The jewel in Ngorongoro’s crown is a deep,
 volcanic crater, the largest unflooded
 and unbroken caldera in the world. Some
maintain that before it erupted, it would have
been higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, the
highest peak in Africa.

Today, long since having collapsed and eroded,
it is an extensive highland area with the
famous 1,968 foot deep Ngorongoro Crater as
its focal point. Nearly three million years old,
the ancient caldera shelters one of the most
 beautiful wildlife havens on earth. Endangered
 black rhino are protected within its rim,
 giant tusked elephants wander the forests,
  black-maned lions stalk the grasslands, and
  flamingos crowd the soda lakes.

  It’s hard to put this experience into words.
   A few that fit are: amazing, heart-stirring,
   hair-raising, astonishing...they all apply
    to the stunning ethereal blue-green
     vistas of the Ngorongoro Crater. But as
      wonderful as the views are from above,
       the real magic happens when you
        get down inside and drive among an
         unparalleled concentration of wildlife,
          including the highest density of both
           lions and overall predators in Africa.
             Put simply, this is one of Africa’s
              premier attractions and this
               world-renowned natural wonder
                is deservedly a UNESCO World
                  Heritage site.

MAIN SAFARI | MARCH 4-8, 2020

          Few people forget their first encounter
         with Serengeti National Park. Perhaps
        it is the view from the summit of Naabi
       Hill at the park’s entrance, from where
      the Serengeti’s grasslands appear to
     stretch to the very ends of the earth. Or
    maybe it’s a coalition of male lions stalking
    across open plains, their manes catching
   the breeze. Or it may be the epic migration
  of animals in their millions, following the
  ancient rhythm of Africa’s seasons. Whatever
 it is, Serengeti National Park is one of the
wildest places in the world and one of the
greatest wildlife-watching destinations on
earth.

It’s here, on the vast plains of the Serengeti,
that one of earth’s most impressive natural
cycles has played out for eons as hundreds
of thousands of hoofed animals, driven by
primeval rhythms of survival, move constantly
 in search of fresh grasslands. The most famous,
 and numerous, are the wildebeest (of which
  there are some 1.5 million) and their annual
  migration is the Serengeti’s calling card. There
   are also resident wildebeest populations in
   the park and you’ll see these smaller but
    still impressive herds year-round. A few
     black rhinos in the Moru Kopjes area offer
     a chance for the Big Five, although they’re
      very rarely seen.

     The 5,700 square mile Serengeti National
      Park is also renowned for its predators,
       especially its lions. Hunting alongside
        the lions are cheetahs, leopards, hyenas,
         jackals and more. These predators
          feast on zebras, giraffes, buffaloes,
           Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelles,
            topis, elands, hartebeest, impalas,
              klipspringers, duikers and so
               many more. It’s an incredible
                 birdwatching destination, too,
                  with over 500 species.

 Zanzibar. The name alone conjures up images of
 an exotic far-flung place. Only a 20-minute flight
  from mainland Tanzania but a world away with
   its sparkling, tranquil beaches, aromatic spice
    farms and diverse mash-up of cultures and
     architecture. A semi-autonomous territory
       of Tanzania with its own government, the
         island has been influenced by the Arabs,
           Persians, Indians, Portuguese, Chinese,
              British and African mainland for
                 centuries. All of this is still very
                     evident today in the language,
                         religion and especially the
                                food.

THREE NIGHTS

In colonial times, the thrilling beauty of Rwanda’s rolling mountainous

POST-TRIP EXTENSION | MARCH 8-11, 2020

          IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PHYSICAL
         REQUIREMENTS

         Trekking     conditions      differ    greatly
        according to the location of the gorillas, so
       the exact level of difficulty for a specific trek
      is impossible to define in advance. On an
     excursion, it is entirely possible that you will
    find the gorillas quite quickly and be back at
   your hotel for lunch. It is also entirely possible
   that you will have to hike three or four hours
  (or sometimes even longer) each way and will
  make it back to your hotel just before dark.

  Because it is impossible to predict the length
  and difficulty of any single trekking excursion,
  this program should not be attempted by anyone
  who is not in very good physical condition.
  Because of the climbing and bending required
  as you make your way through the thick foliage,
  gorilla trekking should not be attempted by
  anyone who has any kind of heart or back
   problem. Only those who are absolutely 100%
   fit and are capable of walking long distances
    at high altitude over slippery, muddy terrain
    should attempt gorilla trekking. Trekking is
     likely to involve scrambling through, over,
      and under dense undergrowth with nettles,
      barbed vines, and bamboo thickets. Correct
       footwear and clothing are essential. It
        is recommended that you build up the
         strength and endurance of your leg muscles
          by walking, stair climbing, bicycling, knee
           bends, and similar exercises before you
            leave home. This should always be done
             under the supervision of your doctor.

           Travelers with physical disabilities and
            those who require frequent or ongoing
             medical attention should advise
              Carrousel Travel of their health
               situation at the time of booking.
                  *If you are interested in doing both
                   Rwanda Gorilla Trekking and Zanzibar,
                     please contact us for more details and
                      options.
