Yes, it includes all the flights. Cape Town to Johannesburg, then charter to Madikwe or Kruger then a charter swapping from Kruger and Madikwe and then back to Johannesburg from either Madikwe or Kruger.

However we are using 2007 pricing and it is bound to go up in 2008. Just wanted to give you a ball park.

You are locked in when you pay. If someone paid today they would lock in that exchange rate.

Our bid is in RAND so if your bid was 40,000 Rand divided by todays rate of 7.2 = $5522.

That same safari at the time we went on ROAR at about 6.2 would be $6451

When you pay any money it is exchanged at the bank rate that day. So the deposit will be paid now and you will get that rate of exchange.

At any time during the next two years if the rand is really high and you want to make a payment you can do so. I must have one of those silly signed authorization cards every time you make a payment.

When you pay your final payment the rate of the exchange at that time will prevail.

You pay $1000 and that becomes Rand, right now 7,200 Rand. If you cancel and want a refund then the refund would be 7,200 Rand and whatever that converted to in $$$ at the time you cancel.

We locked in on ROAR at the very beginning when we first got pricing and by the time we went the rand was lower so the ROARERS made out better. We locked in on TUSK but now the rand is so much higher so the TUSKERS would have been better floating they would have paid less. This is in a 5 month period.

This gets very confusing which is why most people prefer to lock in and just do everything in US dollars. This is why we locked in ROAR and TUSK and most people just travelling alone within a 6 month time frame K&D lock in.

Ker & Downey wont lock groups in any more this far ahead I guess they have lost more than they have gained. This is like locking in an interest rate, it can go up or down, some win some lose.

We can ask if we can lock in probably closer to the time. Once locked in you are LOCKED in and you cant go back and forth with the rate. If the rate is in your favor then you are tickled pink but you cant go back if you are then paying more and say "I want a refund". Either we take the risk or K&D takes the risk but it is in stone once we lock in.

We can also float with the exchange rate and see what happens.

Probably one year out we can take a vote and see what everyone wants to do. Be aware that the "lock in rate" will not be the exact rate that day. The rate will be an average of the most recent six months or so and K&D hedges their bet a little that way. The whole group must do the same thing.

On this note I went to Houston today to talk to Ker & Downey. I have been working directly with Cape Town recently but may run JUST the payments through the US office in Houston. I may have to have you fill in a different credit card form if I do that. I think many people are more comfortable with the cards being run through a US office rather than a South African office so I am seeing if we can do that. I will let everyone know.

If anyone wants to change their program now pricing is out let me know and I will see what I can do to make it work as you wish.
