Use local buses where you can, buy local produce and
participate in local activities within the community. When choosing an
accommodation, choose one in a local suburb, typically where locals reside.
These options are usually cheaper than staying at famous tourist areas and will
help you keep within your travel budget.
For a great African experience, volunteer at the local
community. Here, you will get to truly understand the lives of the locals and
make an impact. While most known volunteer programs are comes with a hefty
price tag, there are some that are free.
