Made a mistake. I needed to add the return flight to Nairobi.
The figures come to $1075 local, compared with $1490 with the agent
2Africa.

It is still a substantial "surcharge" especially if you are a couple,
and very inconvenient since you spend two nights flying from the US
instead of one night if you flew KLM to Kilimanjaro. You pay more and
you waste 2 days!

Why do Americans do these crazy things?
