Carnival Packages

Prices and Early Booking Incentives

There are three Carnival ground package categories.

All prices are in South African Rand (ZAR)

The favourable international exchange rate makes the carnival packages great value for money and South Africa a shopper's paradise.For an indication of the costs in other currencies use the currency converter. The cost provided by the converter will only be indicative as the actual cost will be determined by the exchange rates at the time team payments are processed into South African Rand.

Carnival package prices do not include meals and drinks (other than breakfasts and meals and drinks at the two social functions), airfares or airport departure taxes, pre and post tours, personal items such as phone calls, internet charges, personal and medical insurance, laundry or additional taxes that may be effective at the time of the Carnival.

Please note that all Carnival participants and their travelling partners must purchase one of the official 2010 Carnival packages. Local teams living in Cape Town will be able to purchase the Local Package which will include the opening party and finale dinner only.
