    Asked on April 27th, 2026

    Could you please let us know where the second part of this trips starts, if the client does not want to do the whole 22 days.

    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperator•Written April 2026

      The second part of this tour begins in Johannesburg which will be on day 4, where the group travels onward to Kruger National Park. After the Cape Town segment, the itinerary transitions to safari experiences in Kruger before continuing to Victoria Falls, Botswana, and Namibia. Please note that any unused portion of the tour is non-refundable, as it follows a fixed guided itinerary managed by a trip manager.

    • J

      Judy

      Traveler•Written April 2026

      do I understand you right, that our customer would have to pay the whole trip even if he does not book it from the beginning ? if he joins the group in Johannesburg,, would he still have to pay the full price or what would it cost then ? He thought this tour can be book in sections.

    • ContikiOperator•Written April 2026

      For this specific tour, the booking price will remain the same even if the guest joins the group later, such as in Johannesburg. This is because the tour is a fixed guided itinerary managed by the Trip Manager, and regrettably, unused portions of the trip cannot be refunded. If you'd like to book in sections, we also offer shorter dedicated tours.
