Just seen a very pleasant advert for 29 nights inclusive touring South Africa In 2024. Sounded wonderful until I saw the price, £13000 each rising to £34 k for the upmarket bit😵💫😵💫
So pleased I still caravan👏👏👏
Total rip off however I assume that is including motorhome hire which can be very expensive in South Africa due to high insurance costs etc.
Depending on which game reserves you visit as they can cost up to £400 a night, but why use those when there are others available for well under £100 a night. You can probably tour South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland for a hell of a lot less than £13000 per person, but with Covid rampart there would you want to go? It is going to take probably another 2 - 3 years for them to bring it under reasonable control.
Food in restaurants for a Brit using GBP is dirt cheap. Where can you get a fillet steak with all the trimmings for less then £9? Fuel is a lot cheaper than here and also accommodation is cheap. We paid £25 a night for a fully furnished cottage that included a dishwasher, fridge, stove, TV etc. All the mod cons. It was also cleaned daily.
Although we never toured in 2018 when we visited for 4weeks, our accommodation, car rental and food cost us less than £1000. We did not stay with friends or relatives as prefer our independence.
