Local Payment & Tour Cost

On some trips we require the local payment [as part of the price] to operate the tour. This is part of your tour payment, to be paid on the first day to your tour leader.

The tour cost and local payment includes transport in a fully equipped expedition vehicle, road taxes and tolls, services of the driver-leader. Plus use of camping and cooking equipment, campsite fees, entrance to gameparks as specified and two meals a day while on the truck.

Other Spending

In towns or places where the vehicle will be parked up, although the kitchen will be available for you to cook with, food during this time will not come out of the Local Payment. This normally happens in places where we are for a few days; for example, Arusha, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Victoria Falls, Okavango Delta, Swakopmund. At these places cheap food is available at, or near, the places we stay. Generally at lunchtimes we eat at small cafes or restaurants where you can try cheap and tasty local food. If no local food is available we eat on the truck.

Not included in the trip price and local payment

The price does not include flights, visas, side trips, lunches and meals out. There are a number of optional side trips that you can choose from and pay for on the route.
