just got the email about ineos expeditions.
ineosgrenadier.com
they are expensive, about $2,000 USD per day. Not completely out of touch expensive, but expensive.
The one i'm interested is in Namibia, but that one is over the top expensive at $4,500 per day.
And you have to be two per vehicle so with a partner its basically $9k per day.
Not a tiny amount, basically i can buy a new grenadier for the same money as 8 days in namibia for me and my wife.
And that excludes airfare, i figure probably another $10k in airfare for 2 from california west coast. Spendy...
At the risk of sounding a bit cynical... Last time when i signed up i never heard back from them, when i inquired 3 weeks before departure i was told i would be updated "in due time".
Never heard a beep from them.
I wonder what is going to be different this time around.
Having said that i like the basic premise. Go to africa and experience these vehicles the way they where meant to be used. Follow the trail that Ratcliffe laid out with one of the first grenadiers. That does appeal to me. quite a lot. I did south adrica, mocambique, zambia, zimbabwe and namibia in a defender 25 years ago. Would love to do it again.
