Update on costs and exchange rates

I mentioned a while ago in my post about park fees that these might increase. I'm sorry to inform you that they have - fees are up now to $60US per day. This is unfortunate and will add about £45 to £50 in total to the cost of the trip.

However, the greenback is currently getting weaker - this weekend was at a 10 month low against the pound - so all is not lost. It is expected to get even weaker over the next three months so hopefully the increase in park fees will at least be slightly offset by the decrease in everything else. Also the shilling has got a tad weaker too.
