I have neuropathy in my feet how much walking is involved

The tour is considered a balanced activity level itinerary. This means it involves a mix of sightseeing by coach and guided walks at cultural sites, museums, and natural attractions. Walking is generally moderate, but there are days with more activity for example, exploring Kruger National Park, Tsitsikamma National Park, and Cape Town often includes walking tours or time on uneven terrain. For someone with neuropathy in the feet, here are key points to keep in mind: Walking Involved • City sightseeing: Expect walking through museums, historic neighborhoods, and markets. • Nature and wildlife areas: Some paths may be uneven or require standing for longer periods. • Group pace: Tours are guided and move at a group pace, which can sometimes feel brisk.

what is the single supplement?

The base price for this tour is USD 5,795.00, with an additional single supplement of USD 1,030.00, resulting in a total cost of USD 6,825.00 for a single room.
