Overlanding Adventure Trips: Money
Travellers will obviously need to bring along spending money - the amount
will vary depending on what you want to do (eg. whether you drink,
what souvenirs you want to buy, or whether you want to participate in optional adventure activities.)
We recommend as a guideline
of US$ 30 - US$ 40 per day, in addition to the optional excursions
listed. |

Eating out
|
 |
Restaurant meals, alcohol, soft
drinks and mineral water are not included in the tour cost. There
will however be opportunities en route where you will be able to eat
out and although this is not compulsory, you should keep this in mind
when budgeting. Alcohol prices vary considerably, but beer, wine and
cold drinks are similarly priced throughout. Other alcohol is fairly
expensive.

Tipping |
|
| |
No gratuities are included and should
be budgeted for. The tipping of the local guides on Delta excursions,
Serengeti/Ngorongoro Crater tour and Matopos excursion is expected
from the group. The tipping of the driver and courier is not expected,
but appreciated. This is usually decided between the group and at
their discretion.

Notes and Credit Cards |
| |
It is advisable to bring spending money
in smaller denominations (whether cash or travellers cheques), as banks
will generally not give change in forex. The US$ is widely accepted
throughout Africa, although US$ 50 and US$ 100 notes are often not
accepted due to the high counterfeit rate. If travelling in Uganda,
please ensure that USD notes are post 1990.
In Africa, credit cards can be used in some places so they can be a useful resource.
However, credit cards should not be relied upon as the main source of funds as there are
many places (especially north of Zimbabwe) where cards cannot be used, especially for cash
advances. Rand (ZAR) traveller's cheques or cash can be exchanged as far as Swaziland, Lesotho,
Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi, but any Rand traveller's cheques must be
endorsed for regional use. |
