Budget for the Taste of Africa

Kampala to Zanzibar Island

 
A guide for budgeting
Before you go you pay Absolute Africa for:

Price of Safari:                                                                                                                                                 

We can also take payment for your gorilla permit prior to departure, and for arrangements
on Zanzibar Island if you wish to stay with the group on the island::

One way Ferry                  

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

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

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

It also covers Queen Elizabeth National Park including a game cruise on the Kazinga Channel, 
Ngorongoro Crater and a visit to a  Maasai village

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 

Optional extras                        
A recommended typical budget for your optional excursions that might pay for
once in Africa would be:                                                                                                                                  

Some clients spend more, some less. The above is a typical estimate selecting 
from the following main choices during the 24 days. Do re-check your budget looking             
at what might tempt you. 

Your main choices are:                                                                         
                                                                
White water rafting on The White Nile                         
Kayaking                                                                                
Nile High Bungee                                                                  
Quad biking                                                                           
Volunteer work in a local school                                         
Chimpanzee reserve                                                              
Serengeti National Park*                                                     
Manyara National Park                                                          
Dolphin boat trip including a visit to the red colobus monkeys                                                       
Snorkelling Mnemba Atoll                                         
Prison Island with the giant tortoise                   
Scuba diving - 2 tank on Zanzibar    

*Some months the truck drives the alternative route through the Serengeti and 
the Serengeti then comes out of kitty with the resultant price reduction to £115                                   
              

Spending money        
You will also need spending money to cover drinks, lunch, souvenirs,
