Joe Smallwood is planning his trip to Kruger National Park in South Africa and in doing so, is preparing his holiday budget. The cost of the tour will be €595 and includes transport to and from hotels, hotels (an all-inclusive package), a guide, and game drives. International airfares are excluded, so a return ticket will cost Joe €850. He plans to take €400 for incidental expenses, as well as spending money of €1,500. The local currency is the rand (R), and the exchange rate is R14.89/€ (or €0.0672/R).
