If you’re planning to visit more than one African country during your travels, save on flights by traveling on road and driving your own vehicle. This is especially cost-savvy if you are traveling in a group of four or more as you would then be able to rent a vehicle collectively rather than paying for individual fares on flights, buses or taxis.
Navigating through Africa on your own isn’t as challenging as you may think. Most roads in South Africa and Namibia are tarred and well-maintained, making your ride smooth and easy. Self-driving through Africa will allow you more flexible time to explore the continent and let you set your own schedule. Driving on your own during peak season in Africa may also save you money, as you don’t have to pay inflated transportation fees. Practicing common road safety will ensure that your trip is successful one! Want more bang for your buck? Hire a caravan so you don’t have to spend on accommodation too!

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.
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.
