Africa Travel Itineraries
It can be overwhelming to plan that first trip to Africa, so I’m creating some travel itineraries and trip planning guides to help you overcome any hurdles. Watch this space!
Considering travelling solo in Africa? There’s so many options for your destination and it’s likely the level of safety will vary between countries. I’ve yet to solo travel in Africa, so I advise you to do your research, feel free to use my travel itineraries and guides on the areas I have visited to help you plan. Here’s 5 tips for feeling safe and confident when you travel solo in Africa:
1
Trust your gut – my number 1 rule. If something feels off, leave the situation!
2
Never arrive anywhere late at night, it will instantly feel dodgy.
3
Research hostels & accommodations – always read the reviews.
4
If you feel nervous, check in with friends / family nightly and send them your location.
5
Talk to people! Don’t let yourself feel isolated. Make friends and form a group.
Ever wondered how I manage to snag SUCH great travel deals and save so much on accommodation, airfare and travel? my Travel Resources will give you access to all my favourite booking websites and all the best places to get travel essentials on a budget. My goal is to help you save money so you can spend more on your adventures once you arrive.
Follow the locals and eat freshly prepared street food instead of heading to restaurants. Hint: the best places to eat usually look like someone's house or garage.
2
Stay in hostels
If you're on a budget – hostels are the best in Asia. They're super cheap, great for making friends and often you'll get cheap trips or discounts on activities.
3
Haggle everywhere!
You are expected to barter in Asia, it's part of the culture. So don't be afraid to try and bargain down the price – it's fun once you give it a go!
4
Book as a group
Find friends in your hostel and book activities as a group – it works out much cheaper and you can usually negotiate extras along the way!
