How much will it cost to do an overland expedition and what is the “Local Payment”?
Overland trips start from approximately £185 for a three-day tour and from £455 for a 21-day tour, to £1,195 for a 56 day tour. Prices vary depending on the range of activities and stops within a tour, as well as the length of the tour. In addition to the tour price most overland trips require a ‘local payment’, which is paid directly to the driver/coordinator in US dollars cash at the beginning of the tour. This is for a food kitty, some accommodation, park fees etc and any day-to-day running expenses. In this way overland companies cut down on their overheads and keep the entire package price as low as possible.
