Cost

The thing that puts most budget travellers off about overland tours is the price. Trips usually cost well into the hundreds and sometimes even thousands - and then there is the kitty! It often just doesn't seem good value. If you are unsure about spending so much money, divide the total cost of the trip (including the kitty) by the number of days away and then check what the trip includes. Most will include:

  • All of your travel

  • All of your accommodation

  • Most of your meals

  • Most of your National and Game Park entry fees

You should find that you would be hard pushed to do the same itinerary cheaper by yourself - and quite often not even be able to (for example, in Tibet or Bhutan where limited numbers of visitors are allowed).
