Below are the outline costs for a standard special trip. If your chosen itinerary involves any different or additional costs then this will be highlighted within the outline brief for the specific trip.
What is included?
- All food for the duration of your trip with Bushmasters will be covered. This will range from the best Brazilian BBQ you are likely to have, to trek rations, which are basic and light, but sufficient. During survival phases we will find a variety of foods for you, plus you will have to find / catch some yourself!
- All accommodation ranging from jungle lodges with en-suite bathrooms to jungle hammocks.
- All the specific jungle kit is provided. We do not believe you should have to buy specific equipment for only a few weeks usage, so we provide specialist jungle kit. It also means you are confident you have the right stuff! You need to bring the remaining gear, though this tends to be items most people may have already or can make good use of in the future. We will also let you keep your machete, gutting knife and sheath at no charge. People become very attached to these!
- All internal, vehicle, boat and air transportation. Given the remoteness of the areas we work in and times of year, the type of transportation may vary. For example, in the wet season boats get to some places better than vehicles and vice versa in the dry season.
- All staff and guide fees.
- All park entry and usage fees.
- All communications, medical and safety kit required for each activity.
What is not included?
- International air fares. But we can give you advice.
- Country exit taxes: currently GY$4000 (US$20) departure tax for Guyana.
- Travel Insurance. You must have this. We are in very remote country and if you need winching out by helicopter from a winch hole we cut in the jungle canopy, you need insurance to cover this, plus medical attention, repatriation costs and so on. See Insurance.
- Visas, if required. UK citizens do not need a visa.
- Souvenirs etc. you may want a traditional Amerindian bow and arrow set for example.
- Alcoholic drinks.

"Bushmasters are professional in their approach to scoping, conceptualising, producing and conducting explorations and expeditions through the amazing rainforests, savannahs, mountains and rivers of Guyana. Their knowledge, respect and passion for the country and people of Guyana is humbling. But most of all, their support is amazing and their friendship ongoing.""
Angelique Lee (Australia), who came on a 4 week, bespoke expedition in January 2006. |
