Is it expensive to spend a holiday in South Africa?

Responses information department of "Tourism Thinness"
On holidays in South Africa tourists will enjoy a lot, but certainly not prices - the country is not the cheapest, you need to prepare for the European level of spending. There are hostels, you can find one in which a place (a bed in a room for 8-20 people of both sexes) costs about $ 15-20, but it is difficult to guarantee comfort in them. Prices for rooms in hotels with 3-4 stars start from $ 50, in lodges (a kind of safari-hotels) you can stop at least for $ 60-80, in a campsite with your tent - for $ 19.

Rent a car, without which is difficult to move around the cities and get to many attractions, starts at about $ 30-40 per day. This amount includes 100-200 km of mileage per day, everything that is above is paid separately, an average of 25 cents per km.

You can rent a car and take a taxi. Landing in the car costs 6-7 $ and further on the counter, from the calculation of 1.13 $ per km.

To eat in one of the local cafes or restaurants, not too restricting yourself in the choice of food and drinks, you can for $ 25-30 per person . Snacks in McDonald's can be put in at $ 5-6. Tipping is not included in the bill, they should traditionally be about 10% of the order amount
