Technically the only extra you need to budget for are on the days when lunches & dinners are not provided. The meal budget would be the same as what you would spend for a meal in South Africa. I don’t know what you would eat, but I would say budget maybe USD15 to USD30 a meal. If you want to grab a quick meal for example it should be much less. If you like more luxury dining, it will obviously be more.
