Magic of Moondance
July 14, 2026
Hello Moondance Families!
Live from Ngorogoro Crater to Serengeti, let’s go!! We woke up at camp in the heart of the Ngorogoro Crater, surrounded by wildlife. We had a quick breakfast and then got right on the road for our sunrise game drive through the crater. The Ngorogoro Crater is known as The Garden of Eden as it is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, and this morning we got to see that first hand. Immediately upon driving down into the crater we got to see rhinos, flamingos, gazelles, hippos, zebras, lions, wildebeests, cape buffalo, elephants, giraffes, and so much more!! We stopped for lunch at a nice picnic lookout area, and kept our drive going on into The Serengeti National Park! Once we arrived, we got to see even more wildlife in an even more wild region – the African Bush. Once we arrived to our camp, everyone was pleasantly surprised to see the remoteness of our campsite. We were truly in the middle of the Bush, totally surrounded by the WILD. Gracely was shocked to see the baboons that would come up close to our site to say hello, and Sawyer showed us his best (and very realistic) impersonations of a lion’s roar. During sunset, Jack helped me queue up some perfectly chill songs for the vibe, as we all sat around a semi circle enjoying the Savana sky light up with color. We had a wonderful dinner, and afterwards MJ helped lead another fantastic Moonup outside our campsite, with the sounds of Nature all around us. We headed to bed STOKED to wake up in the Serengeti for the first time and go for that sunrise game drive.
We woke up before sunrise to fuel up, gear up, and head out for our morning drive. Before we left, Adi was challenged by the guides to drink the powerful and fiery African ginger tea, which for sure woke him right up. When we started driving, it was truly so beautiful to see the Savana wake up with us, as we got to see so much wildlife in the early hours of the day, with the Sun rising with us and the animals. Right when we got there, we got to see a pride of lions feeding on the remains of a wildebeest. It was an absolutely wild and rare sight to see, and all of the students were so happy that Lizzy brought her nice camera to take such high quality photos for all of us. We kept driving around, and Ari got to see two of her favorites – a hippo and a baby elephant!! Along with the rest of the stunning wildlife, the rarest sighting we saw this drive was a cheetah! Which was such a fun and novel treat for us all. We headed back to camp for lunch, and then spent the afternoon chilling at camp. Sophia was very kind and let everyone use her playing cards, as she then led us in a game of ‘Spoons’. Once the Sun began to set and golden hour was upon us, we all hopped back into our safari cars for one last sunset drive. Alex was helping everyone out when we finally spotted the rare leopard, he let everybody use his nice binoculars to see it hiding up in a tree. We watch the Sun set over the Serengeti, and we headed back to camp for dinner. We had a lovely long Moonup under the stars, and went to bed!
Today we woke up in the Serengeti one last time, and, after breakfast, said our goodbyes to the African Bush as we did our sunrise game drive out of the national park. Everyone was so Stoked to have seen everything on their safari bucket list, and as we were driving out of the park, we all said our goodbyes to the WILD! We stopped for lunch at a scenic picnic lookout, and continued onward out of Ngorogoro and made our way to Karatu. Once we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by how nice this last campsite was. What everyone was most fired up about – hot showers. We spent the afternoon enjoying the greenery and the Sun as people showered, hung out together, and gathered for tea time. For dinner, we had an absolute feast featuring authentic African dishes. Lawren was enjoying the warm, fresh baked Chapali bread, similar to naan. William was crushing my personal favorite, Chips Myaye, which is an omelette dish with french fries and cheese baked into it. After dinner, we did a nice reflections activity, where we wrote out personal ‘nugs’ to everyone as goodbye affirmations. Saige shared her emotions from it all with her friends, and it was just a beautiful moment all together. Then, outside under the stars, we had our final Moonup. One of the LODs, Heath, prompted the group with excellent questions and the ‘silly’ one being – What was the moment from the trip you laughed the hardest? It was a hilarious final Moonup as much as it was bittersweet with our reflections from the past three weeks together. Lawson’s signature laugh echoed around camp and was a true staple that we got to enjoy during the whole trip. We ended with a big group hug, and went to bed!
Last day ):We woke up at our campsite to one last beautiful day in Tanzania. We packed our things, ate a wonderful breakfast, and got back on the road back to Arusha. We arrived at Fifi’s for our final banquet meal all together, which is a fantastic cafe right in the heart of Arusha. We filled our bellies and shared some more laughs over some delicious food, and then headed back to D3D to pack up our things before heading to the airport!! At D3D, the students signed and wrote little kind messages to our guide from the past few weeks. Then, we headed to JRO for the students to board and take off on their flight!! This trip has truly been something magical. The good times we shared this session has been something textbook out of pure Moondance Magic. Lizzy and I are so Grateful for each and every student and their families for sending them on this trip. May the Magic of Kilimanjaro and the Moondance Way be forever with them as they venture on! ALL ONE LOVE FROM BUSHMAN.
SUCCESSFUL SUMMIT!!!

Day 9
Last morning at Migombani! We woke up, packed our bags, did a camp sweep to clean up, and got ready for our travel back to Arusha. After some games during a chill rest of the morning under the Sun, we then ran through the itinerary of our Kilimanjaro trek so we could get a better idea of what our week on the mountain would look like. After that, we went through the packing list to make sure everyone had what they needed for the climb, and then enjoyed one last lunch at the world’s best campsite. We crossed paths with Sandy and Jake of KIL-4, and the students enjoyed saying hi to each other. Lawson introduced himself to Jake and then found out that Sandy’s little brother was going to be in his same class at UVA next year! Then, we hopped into the bus and began our drive back to Arusha. Once back at our home base of D3D, we did a duffle shuffle that dreams are made of. Our Kili packing session was as efficient as I’ve ever seen. Legendary duffle shuffle, I’m telling you. Gracely exhibited excellent Expedition Behavior by lending spare gear to girls who didn’t have it. Then, to get us as stoked as possible for the start of our ascent tomorrow, D3D threw us a giant banquet with all of our favorite music on their giant speaker. We had a long Moonup in the courtyard, where we witnessed one of the most crazy meteorites light up the whole sky above us. It was such a wild moment that everybody took as a good omen before our adventure that started in the morning!
Day 10
KILIMANJARO DAY 1. Man, oh man, the vibes are high this morning. I woke up everyone with a good GAMEDAY!!! wakeup. We crushed breakfast, packed our bags, filled waters, and hopped on the bus to drive to the Machame Gate. For the next week, we’ll be doing the Machame route up to Uhuru Peak. It’s one of the most beautiful and perfect routes up Mount Kilimanjaro for our group. During our drive to the gate, Jack was so stoked to spearhead the playlist for tomorrow, the 250th 4th of July. We will get to wake up to a patriotic playlist curated with some of the most all-time classic American anthems. After checking into the national park and eating lunch, we geared up and put packs on backs. We are so lucky to be working with Active Kilitops for this trek, who are taking our big duffles up for us, setting up camp, and assisting us with porter help. They are the best and most professional guys and girls on the mountain. We started hiking in the biome of RAINFOREST. It was a true jungle of lush greenery and colorful animals. After a few hours, we arrived at camp already set up for us, enjoyed a well-deserved hot meal, and then climbed into our sleeping bags in our tents to go to bed!
Day 11
KILI DAY 2!! Happy 250th Independence Day, USA!!! Lizzy and I woke up the students today with some good ole classic American anthems on the JBL speaker, like Courtesy of the Red White and Blue and Sweet Home Alabama. Everyone got out of their tents with an extra patriotic pep in their step, and as we were singing song to the songs, we got to enjoy the most beautiful morning view of the summit. During breakfast, the Leaders of the Day helped Lizzy and I out with the festivities. Heath brought out his American flag, and we all stood for the pledge of allegiance, while MJ passed out USA-themed stickers, temporary tattoos, necklaces, and headbands. We began our hike to Shira Cave Camp. Today, we passed through Heatherland and Moorland biomes. The trees were getting shorter, the air was getting crisper, and the stoke was rising. Once at Shira, we did a short hike up to a cave to acclimate to the new elevation, ate three amazing hot meals, and watched one of the most beautiful sunsets of our lives. The alpenglow was firing on Uhuru Peak, and as the stars came out, we went to bed.
Day 12
DAY 3. Let’s go to BARRANCO! We woke up, packed up, ate up, and geared up for another amazing day on the mountain. Today we hiked up to Lava Tower – officially the highest elevation everyone in the group has been to in their lives. It was a stunning spire of volcanic rock, where we stopped at for lunch to acclimate, and began our hike back down into the Barranco canyon. Once at camp, we were absolutely stunned by the views, as our campsite was sitting just below an imposing yet breathtaking natural feature – the Great Barranco Wall. Sophia was getting some great photos of people with the wall in the background, and Sawyer was getting a Swahili lesson from one of our Tanzanian guides, Erik. Another beautiful alpenglow sunset, fantastic dinner, and we headed to our sleeping bags for the night!!
Day 13
DAY 4 – BARRANCO WALL DAY to Karanga camp. Today’s my absolute favorite day of the trek, as we began our day with such a fun scramble hike up the Barranco wall. It was technical, fun, spooky, and exciting as we made our way up the wall, all the way up to the best reward we could ask for – a stunning shot of Uhuru peak. At the top of the wall, we had an amazing snack break to take some pictures with the summit right behind us. We were meeting lots of familiar characters this day, a similar group to Moondance called Putney, some more British folks, a Californian dude named Bear, and a Billy Strings look-alike. The Machame route had us all running into each other each day, so it was good to see some familiar faces. We took one last uphill to Karanga camp, which I call Spooky-town, since it’s a mist-shrouded campsite that gives off major Halloween vibes. We had some AWESOME shots during golden hour at sunset, had another wonderful dinner, and went to bed!!
Day 14
DAY 5 – LET’S GO TO BASE CAMP. Today we’re hiking to Upper Barafu Base Camp. We began our trek with the Sun shining so bright, giving us a good sign for another good day. During our climb, Lawren pointed out Stella point, aka ‘The point of no return’, which is the point just before the summit, letting hikers know they’re almost at the peak. Alex was finding out the results of the World Cup from fellow hikers on trail. Once at base camp, we began our pregame preparation. Lizzy and I ran gear checks, ensuring that everyone was as prepared as they were stoked for summit day. Once checked off, we handed out all of the Moondance parkas. Saige was so fired up to get the parka of her dreams, the blue and yellow one. We had an early dinner, and afterwards, William found an epic rock to watch the sunset from. We all went to bed at ~7pm, with some serious Christmas Eve vibes in the air. Stoke, nerves, and energy were all so high. Let’s ROCK OUT.
Day 15
SUMMIT DAY !!!!! GAME TIME!!!! We all woke up in the pitch black at 11 pm. We geared up in all of our warmest layers, ate a quick hot breakfast, turned our headlamps on, and began our summit attempt. The motto of the ascent is POLE POLE, which translates to Slowly, Slowly. We trekked up slowly in a beautiful line of silent lights, as various groups were snaked up the trail, as we were all locked in for the same goal. It was a beautiful, starry, crisp midnight sky that was lit up by a moonrise so bright you would’ve thought it was the Sun already. The porters and guides were keeping our vibes high, and all of the students were doing so well, putting one foot in front of the other, all the way up to the top. Once we saw the first signs of the sunrise, that’s when we knew we were locked. The Source blessed us with warm rays and the sunlight we needed to get us up to Stella point. Once it was daylight and people were hydrated and fueled enough, we got to Stella point with the strength we needed to ensure that everybody was making it up to Uhuru peak. The last push to the peak was tough, but all 15 of us believed, helped each other, and got ourselves up to that summit. 15/15. Everyone touched that sign, felt that rewarding air and sunshine unique to Uhuru Peak. I was so proud to see everybody up there. Many tears were shed. The word proud doesn’t even capture it. I was just so Grateful everybody could be able to say they got themselves up there. We hugged, got our photos, cried some more, and began our trek back down. We had a long day of de-elevating to do, and everybody was as locked in as they were on the way up. We arrived at Mweka camp, where we finally got to rest our weary bones from our 22-hour day of hiking. Asante sana.
Day 16
Last day. We woke up a bit sore. To say the least. We geared up one last time, began our descent, and did our best to help each other off the mountain. Adi was toughing it out and kept grinding til the last quarter mile. Ari was hiking with Lizzy and made sure everyone who wasn’t feeling their best was able to get down safe and sound, which our head Guide, Samia aka SIMBA, gave Ari major props for. We got to the gate, where we received our official Tanzanian certificates of summiting, and went to lunch. At lunch, we said goodbye to our guides and porters, grabbed some souvenirs, and started our drive back to D3D in Arusha. We were welcomed back to the front country with a wonderful birthday-party-themed dinner, celebrating our successful summit with pizza, fries, and ice cream. We packed our bags for the safari section, and went to bed!!
Day 17
Nowww let’s go chill out on the safari!!! Everybody was so excited waking up today, knowing they were heading to Ngorongoro Crater to begin the safari section. It’s time to reward ourselves for the difficult trek by looking at some of the rarest, coolest, most AWESOME animals on Earth. We ate breakfast at D3D, packed up our safari gear into our sweeeet safari land cruisers, and began our journey out to THE AFRICAN BUSH. It’s such a beautiful place on Earth, and I’m so stoked for everyone to see all the animals they’ve been talking about for the past two weeks. During our drive, we stopped at a nice campsite for lunch, went to Safari-land, aka African Buc-ee’s, and continued onward to the crater. Once in Ngorogoro, we’re immediately surrounded by wildlife. The Ngorogoro crater is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, and we got to see a sneak peek at this beautiful lookout vista right at the entrance. So far, we’ve gotten to see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, and cape buffaloes!!! We’re about to get to our campsite for the evening, and all of the students cannot wait for our early morning drive to see even more animals tomorrow.

Jambo, Tanzania: Days of Service and Sunshine
July 1, 2026
Day 1
Travel day!!!
Day 2
Jambo from Tanzania!!! Lizzy and I are at the Kilimanjaro airport and are SO STOKED to get this party started!! Once all the students landed, we hopped into our bus and drove back to Arusha to Destination 3 Degrees, D3D, the hotel where we’re staying tonight. Once we got back, we were greeted with a hot home cooked meal of beef, fish, rice and vegetables. We had a quick Moonup, packed for the service section, and went to bed!
Day 3
Time to head to Mto wa Mbo! We woke up, ate breakfast, and hopped on the bus to our camp for the service section. Our camp is a stunning open air camp with the greenest grass you could possibly imagine, as well as the bluest pool that immediately caught our eyes right upon arrival. We met our kitchen staff, did some orientations, and enjoyed a wonderful lunch in the shade all together at a picnic table. Then, we headed to the pool to enjoy an aquatic afternoon. Heath was the first person to jump in the pool, which inspired more of us to follow suit and jump in. Adi joined a fun little workout circuit I was running, crushing the bootcamp exercises. Then, we had dinner, where we crushed bowls and bowls of soup before some fish and chips. We had our first campsite Moonup underneath the stars, and went to bed in our tents!!
Day 4
Today’s the first day of service!! We ate a fantastic breakfast, packed our bags, and left for the school! We team up with the Red Sweater Project at a local school. Today we introduced ourselves to some of the students, and went around the campus with them helping clean up the trash. Saige was the first to befriend one of the Tanzanian girls and they got everyone to feel open to mingle with each other. Ari was so curious to learn how to count to 10 in Swahili, and the Mungere schoolgirls taught her right away. Sophia showed the children how to braid friendship bracelets, and shared her string with them! We had some lunch there at the school, and then played some frisbee and hacky sack with the kids. After that, we said see you tomorrow and headed back to our camp for the remainder of the afternoon. Gracely was kindly braiding people’s hair after some went swimming, and people showered up in preparation for dinner. We had a lovely dinner, fireside Moonup, and said goodnight!!
Day 5
Second day of service!! We woke up, ate breakfast, packed our bags, and headed back to the school for day two of service. Today, we were working in the school gardens. We were prepping the beds with lots of water and digging holes for the seeds. It was beautiful to see the Moondance students teaming up with the students to accomplish the tasks. Jack and his student, Shela, were carrying the buckets of water together and watering the budding plants. After a solid couple hours of work, we stopped for a quick lunch, and then headed down to the soccer field for a sweet game of futbol! MJ was showing off her soccer skills, scoring the first goal of the game. We had such a blast playing all together. Once the time was up, we said our goodbyes, and left for the day. We headed back to camp for a tea time of snacks and various hot drinks. Lawren directed a game of “death sack”, a hacky sack game, where everyone was hyped and competitive right until the end. After a beautiful sunset, we had another amazing dinner, Moonup, and went to bed!
Day 6
Everybody woke up this morning well rested and ready for another great day at the school! Once we arrived, we got right to work on the gardens! Today we were watering the beds once more, and planting kale and cabbage seeds. Sawyer explained to the students which beds were meant for kale and which for cabbage, and ensured everybody had a child to pair up with. After planting the seeds, we had lunch, and then headed back down to the soccer field for another game of futbol. It was a great and heated game. Lawson was putting it all out there, passing it to the schoolchildren, having a blast, and when given a perfect ball, had the whiff heard around Africa, which gave all the students a good laugh. Once we finished the game, we headed back to camp for another lovely afternoon poolside enjoying card games and conversations. During tea time, William was stoked on Lizzy’s questions game, sharing his favorite things in life while also answering my questions about his go to spots in Nashville. We watched a beautiful sunset with a bright full Moon, and enjoyed another unbelievable dinner, where Alex was sharing with us his ‘ins and outs’. We had a solid Moonup, said goodnight, and went to bed!
Day 7
Grand Rising Moondance! We had another lovely morning at camp, enjoying crepes and eggs, packed our bags, and headed back to the school for another day of service! Instead of driving directly to the school, we drove to the neighborhood where some of the students are from to walk to school with them! Hayes, our founder, always loved the idea of getting a feel for the walk to school that the students do everyday, so today all students did their walk from their village to campus. It was so cool and beautiful. We got to see the actual homes that the schoolchildren live in, and their daily commute, while we could ask them about what their lives in these villages were like. Such a once in a lifetime experience. Once we got to school, we did another bout of work in the garden, played some more games together, and had a little dance party. We finished with lunch, and then got a super special experience – we headed to a boma, which is a traditional native Maasai village. We got a tour and a lesson on the Maasai way of life and got to learn more about the indigenous people to this land and how they live today. Afterwards, we headed to an art market where we got a tour of the traditional painting styles of Tanzania. After that, we went to one last cultural outing – a wood smithing market, where we learned about the woodworking art of Tanzania, Kenya, and surrounding African countries. On our way back home to camp, we did another activity Hayes found so important – a mandatory ice cream stop!! Everybody got some ice cream, Moondance’s treat, and we went back to camp riding that sugar high while blasting some good music. We had a quick tea time, an unreal tasty dinner, Moonup, and went to bed!
Day 8
Last day of service 🙁 Today we woke up ready for one last great day working with the school. We started our day at the trailhead of a beautiful waterfall hike, where all the students hiked up together to a stunning spring with the most incredible waterfall. We chilled out by it and enjoyed the nice wet breeze, got some group pictures, and hiked back down. We hiked all the way back to the school, where we played, had lunch, and sadly had to say our goodbyes. We are so grateful to have been able to spend time with, befriend, and connect with the students at the school through the Red Sweater Project. Shoutout Sheb, Ashely, my boy Sylvester, and all others involved. We then headed to “Safariland” for a quick stop, another mandatory ice cream stop, and arrived back at camp. We then did the NOLS leadership grid exercise, played some fishbowl games, swam, showered, listened to music, enjoyed tea time, and had one last amazing dinner here at Migombani. It was pizza night!!! Such a special send off. We had a wonderful Moonup with our friend from the kitchen, Samuel, and headed to bed!
Everyone is so stoked to start the Kilimanjaro trek in two days. We can’t wait to update y’all then!! Stay Wild!
