What is the Local Payment?
The Local Payment is a necessary expense that covers a variety of on-the-road costs. All tours maintain their local payment fund in US dollars as this currency is accepted in any country you may happen to visit. As a result we need to quote the local payment cost separately to our tour price.
What your local payment covers varies from tour to tour, but typically includes things like
- border payments
- food and drinks
- park fees
- Tour Duration
