Africa 6 Cook When & Where You Can

If you are traveling with family, eating out all the time can become costly. To minimize cost of food, dine in when you can. Buying groceries in bulk at the local supermarket and cooking them yourself not only helps you save on expenses, it also helps you ensure that your food is clean and safe for consumption. This will help you avoid costly medical bills that you may incur should you have the unfortunate experience of contracting foodborne illnesses.
Cooking together is also a great way to spend time with the family and having meaningful experiences instead of having to go through the hassle of ensuring the kids are well behaved when dining out.

Africa 5 Travel Like A Local

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.
