In theory, all it costs is your mileage/gallon divided up by miles traveled and multiplied by price/gallon.
Everything else is what makes your trip super cheap or super expensive.
For me, Africa was the most expensive trip I have ever done. Even crappy hotels are very expensive for what you get. And all activities that make a trip into an experience are super expensive there. (Kruger trips, microlight flights over Victoria Falls, seeing the gorillas, etc)
So you can be the guy who sleeps in a tent by the road and just continues down the road to the Cape without seeing the gorillas and whatever, or you can be the guy who goes on safaris and kayaking trips down zambezi and it will cost a ton.
Totally depends on what travel is to you.
