Africa Odyssey

Costs

The cost is split into components, the Trip Price and Kitty.

Trip price £2,200 + Kitty US$1,750

Trip price includes:

  • All land transport by expedition vehicle
  • All vehicle costs including fuel, tolls, ferries, seaport taxes
  • All the vehicle entrances
  • Services of the crew
  • Back-up, logistical and support from our office.

A deposit of £500 is required to secure your place on the expedition, and the balance of the Trip Price (£1,700) is paid to Odyssey Overland in full no less than 8 weeks before departure. This allows us to arrange all the required permits and other vital things for this expedition.

The Kitty of US$1,750 is the second part of the price and is paid into a central fund on the day of departure. It funds accommodation, camp meals, local guides and activities that the group take part in as a whole. The expedition members and the group leader monitor this. This has been calculated as accurately as possible, but will be updated 2 weeks before the trip is due to depart, and while no increase is expected, due to the long lead time before departure it is impossible to be 100% sure. Local inflation and costs vary during the year and so we review the kitty before departure and during the trip. In the unlikely event of an increase, this is expected to be by less than US$200.

For details of what is included and excluded, please see the Overview & Highlights section.
