I am looking for a tour/guide in cape town take me to the Districts. Any advice?
The best would be to contact Cape Tourist Guide Association (+27 73 437 6968) with regards to what guides are available, as most of the work is seasonal. When phoning, try to be specific about which areas you wish to visit, this will help tremendously. The cost can be anything around ZAR 2500 per day, however this can vary depending on the guide. The other option is to do a private trip through an operator or agent where you will have your own personal guide included. over 8 years ago

What is the approximate cost for a 10 day budget safari in Kenya in september
The more things that are included in your trip the more expensive the trip is going to be, so it is not necessarily a matter of going with the cheapest company as most companies use the same route, visit the same places and use the same people for activities etc. For a 3-day Masai Mara trip, you can be look at anything around U$D 450 per person and an 8-day trip can cost you around U$D 1600 per person and that all depends on what is included. over 8 years ago

Do you think nigeria will divide from the way things are going .....boko haram, 6yrs presidential tenure, minimum wage
There is always hope for a country going through turmoil. If South Africa managed to abolish Apartheid and welcome a Rainbow Nation, anything is possible. over 8 years ago

Going to the east coast of Zanzibar. Is it safe to go jogging on the beaches? If yes, what's the best time to go jogging?
To the best of my knowledge it is safe to jog on Zanzibar beaches except that it is hot and very humid. So it will be best to make good preparations to keep yourself hydrated. I would avoid jogging at night or when it is dark and best to do it when there is light. Happy jogging! over 8 years ago

Going to Zambia/Vic Falls & wanting to cross into Zimbabwe, should we get a multiple or double entry day visa & how much should it cost $US?
All that will depend on your nationality and how many times you intend to cross the border. Depending on your passport it will cost you between $30 US and $50 US single entry for most nationalities, the rest being either free or upwards of $80 US for a single entry visa. Most activity suppliers include a 'day visa' waiver in the price. Make sure you check that if you are booking activities on the Zim side of the river. A taxi from central Livingstone to the bridge/border should cost no more than $10US and is highly negotiable. Get dropped off at immigration and walk over the bridge. The centre of Vic Falls is a couple of hundred metres past the bridge. over 8 years ago
