Before you go you pay Absolute Africa for:

Price of Safari:                                                                                                                                               

We also can 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:

Gorilla trekking

Zanzibar arrangements including return ferry, four nights accommodation, spice tour and transfers:                           

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 Queen Elizabeth National Park and the Kazinga Channel game cruise,

Ngorongoro Crater, Mikumi National Park, South Luangwa National Park (season pending),

Etosha National Park (2 nights), Namib Naukluft, Fish River Canyon, and entry to

The Cheetah Park, Cape Cross Seal Colony 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
