What is the local Payment? After years of travelling through Southern Africa- we found that our clients don’t like hidden costs. Therefore, we have tried to make our tours as all-inclusive as possible. We include 95% of the meals, all the accommodation and enough activities and safaris to create a life time of memories.

Unfortunately when you have to deal with 6 or more border crossings- you end up paying a lot of money for cross border fees and visa’s which need to be paid for in cash. In most countries petrol can also only be paid for in cash, so we decided not include the petrol and cross border fees in the tour price. We have found its better for everybody to carry a small amount of money on them, than for our tour guides to carry around suitcases full of cash. This local payment is the cash you should have on hand to cover the costs of the border crossings, visas, petrol and the 1 Dinners and 7 Lunches that we have not included in the tour price. There is no need to bring the full amount with you on the first day and hand it to the tour guide- you can draw it out of ATM’s and swop money as you go along on the tour. Please note that in Africa ”Visa” cards are much more widely accepted than Mastercard, so try to bring at least one Visa credit card or debit card with you.

See you in Africa!!!!
