Slowbee Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 in reading through the entries, it seems expensive with having top arrange own transport to the venue and include plane flights and a basic entry fee of $780 without accommodation. Or is this a decent price for this kinda of event ? The 3 day rift valley ride is $1000 including transfers and accommodation.
