Money-Saving Tips
Eat at local markets and street vendors instead of tourist restaurants (typically 60-80% cheaper)
Use tap-taps and public transport instead of private taxis (usually 70-85% savings on transportation)
Stay in residential neighborhoods rather than tourist zones (generally 30-50% lower accommodation costs)
Buy bottled water in bulk from local stores rather than hotels (typically 200-400% markup at hotels)
Book accommodation directly with properties rather than through international booking sites (often 10-20% cheaper)
Travel during rainy season for significantly lower rates across all categories (usually 25-40% savings)
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Only eating in hotel restaurants and tourist areas (typically doubles your food budget unnecessarily)
Taking private taxis for all transportation instead of learning the tap-tap system (can triple transport costs)
Not carrying small bills for local vendors and transport (often results in paying inflated 'no change' prices)
Booking last-minute accommodation during peak periods (usually 50-100% higher than advance booking)
