When do you plan to close the tour? Is it possible to do a prebook for the moment?

This trip is almost sold out due to limited spaces available. We can't tell when this will be sold out because it depends on guest bookings. We can't offer to hold this booking because it requires payment once booked.

  Traveler•Written February 2024
  Is the accommodation (hotel) for Day 1 in Johannesburg already included in the price? Is the price of $1435 the overall price with no additional costs during the tour? What are the cancellation policies regarding the 'Final payment due date'?
- ContikiOperator•Written February 2024
  Accommodation is not available on Day 1, which is a free day. Recommended pre/post accommodation is Airport Inn & Emerald Guesthouse, to be booked directly by travelers. The $1,435.00 trip price includes accommodation for day 2 and last day, meals, trip manager and motorcoach. Final payment due date means you are 60 days from trip date, and cancellation would result in loss of $200 deposit.
