Costs: $33,950 per person double occupancy Single Supplement: $2,000 (Single accommodations are limited)

Accommodations: Accommodations are the best available at each destination. However it is important to note that some West and Central African tourist facilities are rudimentary and not to be compared with western standards.

Accommodations in Morocco, Namibia, and Cape Town are luxurious four and five star properties. The hotels in Mali are comfortable three star properties. The safari lodge in Gabon is very comfortable, and the lodge in Dzanga Sangha is basic, remote, and charming.

In general the range of accommodations, not to mention the places themselves, require a spirit of adventure.
