WHATS IN & WHATS OUT

What is included in your registration with Africa X-Press pre-ramble;

A bed in our own first class train from Johanesburg or Maputo to Cape Town, Transport between the train and Maputo (1 hour) if we can't get the train to cross the border, which is the situation at present, Food, beer and softies on and off the train. Possibly not unlimited booze, but we'll be very generous. A bed in a 4 star hotel in Maputo and entrance to the opening AfricaX-Press Hash party, including live music, food and drinks Run fees for hashes along the way plus transport to and from hash locations Apart from hashing we intend including at least one trip into a game reserve, and perhaps other tourist activities in the registration. This is not finalised, and we may have to add supplements if you want to do something really exotic, but if we did ask for supplements the activities would be optional Pre-Ramble T shirts or similar from each hash we run with, and other
goodies.

Generally we are looking for good quality, interesting locations to hash, eat and party off the train whereever we stop. On the train we have a double diner and lounge bar, so the party will be continuous!

What is not included;

Visa'a for entry to the various countries we are going into, that is; South Africa, Mozambique and Swaziland. You must arrange these before you leave home. Health, travel and accident insurance, we will try to arrange access to emergency services at all times, but we cannot commit to 100% coverage, this is Africa, and in all cases the cost will be yours if you need assistance. We also have no insurance for things that go wrong that we could be blamed for. We're just hashers like you, if our competence worries you, insure yourselves!
Communications. We strongly recommend that you arrange cell phones that work in all the countries we are going to. This will be our primary means of contacting people who get lost or don't show when the train has to leave. Plan B is to leave them behind! return transport from Cape Town. This is something you should look at now. We are contacting some low cost South African airlines to get quotes for flights from Cape Town back to Johannesburg or Maputo, and we will let you know what we find out, but you may get a better deal with your own travel agent when you book your round trip. Either way, its your cost and responsibility. Wine and short drinks, these will be available from the bar on the train and elsewhere, but at your cost. and finally - registration to Africa Hash 2005 in Cape Town is not included! This may seem obvious, but some Dickhead has already asked!
