In South Africa, we spent a total of R29,034.08 South African Rand (SAR), which equates to roughly $2,211.08 US Dollars (USD).*
We spent 20 days in South Africa, which brought our Average Daily Spend (ADS) in the country to $110.55 per day. ADS is comprised of all of our expenses for both of us, including Accommodations, Food and Drink, Local Transportation, Activities and Entertainment, Alcohol, Living Expenses and Toiletries, Souvenirs, and Mishaps (unexpected expenses). ADS does not include transportation between cities or countries. Those expenses are tracked separately.
For examples of pricing of certain things in South Africa, how we classify items, or a further breakdown of a certain ADS category, see our full spending report below!
