    is the gorilla permit included in the local payment amount included in the quoted price

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Absolute AfricaOperator•Written June 2023

      The gorilla permit is not included in the tour price or local payment for the Wildlife Wanderer. The gorilla permit is an optional extra if you wish to do the gorilla trek in Bwindi National Park in Uganda. The price is £650.

      Lisa

      Traveler•Written June 2023

      Is it possible to get a breakdown of the local fees of over $3,000 in this instance for both my wife and I. The quoted tour price for the two of us is just over $12,000 plus the local fees of the above mentioned amount.

    • Absolute AfricaOperator•Written June 2023

      The cost of the tour is £3,115 GBP per person and the local payment is 1,000 USD per person. The local payment provides us with the means for some expenses that need to be paid in cash to local businesses en route to be arranged in the most cost effective manner possible.

    • L

      Lisa

      Traveler•Written June 2023

      This is very helpful. My wife and I are keen to further research your tours and make sure we are well informed and aware of all aspects before we book. Your overland tours may be a little rough around the edges but hopefully we will enjoy the experience.

    • Absolute AfricaOperator•Written June 2023

      Our tours aren't luxurious, for sure, but usually everyone is comfortable and enjoys the vast number of highlights available to see throughout the route with likeminded travellers.

    Keith

    Asked on February 19th, 2016

    When is the best time to view the migration?

    Other
    • Absolute AfricaOperator•Written February 2016

      The prime time to visit the Serengeti in Tanzania is usually regarded as being from late November through to March when the big herds of wildebeest, Thomson’s gazelle and zebra head on to the southern plains of the Serengeti.

      To get the best viewing on the other hand in Kenya's Masai Mara July through to September are usually regarded as the best months.

  • B

    Bryan

    Asked on February 15th, 2016

    What is the local payment?

    Other
    • Absolute AfricaOperator•Written February 2016

      The local payment is a separate payment from the initial price you pay before you leave. If a local payment is required it will be shown with the trip price. This second payment is made in Africa at the start of your trip. It is payable in USD. The local payment provides us with the means for expenses that need to be paid in cash to local businesses en route to be arranged in the most cost effective manner possible, a saving we can then pass on to you. It also means we can operate in a way that directly supports local businesses and wildlife authorities as we travel. Local Payment will not be changed once you have booked your travel arrangements.

  • N

    Nancy

    Asked on February 15th, 2016

    How much will this tour really cost me?

    Price / Availability
    • Absolute AfricaOperator•Written February 2016

      The costs to consider when travelling overland are:

      Safari price & Local payment,
      Optional excursions,
      Personal spending money,
      Visas.

      We are always very transparent about what a tour will cost and are happy to go through personal, tailored budgets to give you a very realistic idea of what you will spend on your tour - whether you are an adrenaline junkie, souvenir-shopaholic or travelling on a shoestring…
