Last question (hopefully) regarding budget. Do you think $5000 would be a reasonable expectation of how much everything would cost? I'm thinking.....
$1000 for TATL flights
$1000 for intra-Africa flights
$1000 for Namibia tour (meals and accommodations included)
$750 for Okavanga Delta tour (meals and accommodations included)
$500 for 4 nights in Cape Town/Johannesburg (2 people/room)
$750 for meals, possible night(s) in Windhoek/Maun, etc.
I'm overestimating by quite a bit, especially the last two items, but I just want to give myself a nice cushion.
Is 500$ for 4 nights in CPT only for the hotel only or meant to also cover everything else during those days? It can be a bit tight if the latter.
I would advise looking at AirBnb apartments as an alternative to hotels, the price can be significantly lower based on how many PAX you are, you can easily find an apartment with 2 bedrooms for the same price of a single hotel room.
