TOUR HIGHLIGHT

SUNDOWNER DRINKS This evening, as the sun sets with “Kili” as the backdrop, savor a
memorable happy hour in the bush! The origin of the tradition dates to British colonialism in
Africa in the 18th century and was born out of necessity rather than enjoyment. Containing
quinine-infused tonic and gin, colonizers drank it to ward off malaria. As the British Empire
expanded into Africa, the popularity of gin and tonic spread with it. Today, Sundowners
mark the transition from day to night.

cold box lunch, your small group is treated to an exclusive, freshly cooked bush BBQ lunch
served under a grove of Acacia trees, while not missing a moment of wildlife viewing time.
