optional excursions

on the go offer a number of locally operated optional activities and excursions on each of our expeditions. We feel that offering optional excursions affords a greater degree of flexibility, independence and choice to our travellers. Real flexibility in terms of what you wish to do during your free time, independence in terms of how you wish to spend your coveted finances and overall - choice. It’s all about giving you the choice to spend your spondulacks/cash/readies on what you want, when you want and with whom!

To help you budget, here is a ready reckoner of some of the most sought after optional activities available in various countries we visit.

All prices are in US Dollars. Prices are in US Dollars though may be subject to change and on the go will not be responsible for alterations to prices listed. Please note that all optional excursions are offered by 3rd parties and independently of on the go. They are undertaken at your own risk and on the go take no responsibility for personal loss/injury caused.

We offer optional activities in the following countries:

Optional excursions in Kenya Optional excursions in Uganda Optional excursions in Tanzania Optional excursions in Malawi Optional excursions in Zambia
Optional excursions in Zimbabwe Optional excursions in Botswana Optional excursions in Namibia Optional excursions in South Africa


NOTE – Whilst gorilla permit costs are shown for Uganda, trekking may occur in Rwanda or the Democratic Republic of Congo. We will visit one of these three countries for the purpose of gorilla trekking, so you will need budget for one permit - it is best to budget for the highest amount as the country we will trek in is only determined at the time of your trip and is dependent on local conditions.
