Once in Africa you pay the following on the ground costs:

The group kitty

The kitty is an essential group payment payable in Africa on day one to your group.

The group kitty covers two meals a day and camping throughout whilst the group is with the truck.

It also covers the Masai Mara, Nakuru National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park including a game

cruise on the Kazinga Channel, Ngorongoro Crater, Mikumi National Park, South Luangwa National

Park (season pending) and a visit to a Maasai village and The Giraffe Park.

Remember the kitty payment is a group fund that you pay into locally. Where there is money left
over the group together decide what then happens to any remaining funds
