Need any more tips for your upcoming African holiday? Here are a few basics to help you plan:
Africa is by no means a budget holiday – typically, a traveler's daily cost is much higher than in Asia or South America. Allow for about $100 USD per person, per day for housing, food and transportation. If you want to go on safari, plan on a lot more money per day than that.
