             Cost

For specific trip prices please refer to the dates page on the website where the dates, trips and prices are all given.

Below is an outline of what the cost of a standard trip covers. Also see details of what is covered within a RAW trip.

All the standard items below are included. On survival courses accommodation and food can vary dependant largely on you. You will be living in shelters you build and off food from the jungle for several days. Throughout however, you will be given the means to procure clean water, without always having to resort to survival means of collecting it.

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! We do not provide food on your first and last day, when you are in Georgetown. This gives you the chance to get out and explore and try some of the many restaurants and hotels in town.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Meals whilst in Georgetown

RAW Trips

These trips have been designed to bring you all the jungle adventure at a minimal price. The price still covers everything from food to accommodation and safety equipment to back-up. The only difference is we are taking the cheaper option when it comes to internal transport (trucks or buses instead of planes) and accommodation (no luxury lodges). We have also cut out the added extras from these trips so there is no flight or trip to Kaieteur Falls.

This is RAW adventure for those on a budget.

"Going into the jungle was like walking from one World into another; full of mystery and adventure where the learning was steep and experiential. It puts other challenges in the dark! Fantastic, well planned and executed throughout."
Lea Bacchus (UK), who came to Guyana with Bushmasters in 2005.
