Does VS fly to DAR? I don't see any Sky members with service to DAR.
This is very odd. I just looked and I no longer see DAR for VS. I was fairly certain they either planned service or had service via their website when we booked a year ago. We ended up buying relatively inexpensive J tickets on QR for the way home.
Anyway, you should also explore DAR. We started out in Serengeti but we left from the crater and another couple was flying from Arusha to DAR to get home. We actually met up with them in Doha to connect on to JFK. It's a little bit longer of a flight from Arusha but if you can use your miles it is an option.
Just FYI the KLM product in J from AMS to JRO (which was a daytime flight) is nothing special. No lay flat seats. So Y might not be terrible on that route.
