Accommodations
(Almost) All accommodations have been personally selected by us and are regularly checked for service, quality and hygiene. Afrikaya Tours strives to make your holiday as cheap as possible to offer, without affecting the quality of the trip.
We select good and mostly small-scale three - and four star lodges and guesthouses , with comfortable rooms with private bathroom, where the drink at the bar still affordable. In remote areas you will not find luxury hotels and you stay mostly in a good guesthouse or simple lodge . Sometimes we just for a (simple) hotel because of its unique location and the atmospheric environment or for a more expensive option, as it really is worth it.

Clothes that you want to leave behind is often more than welcome.
A suitcase with hard shell is less handy and fits well in an often less than a luggage bag on wheels. Make preferably locks on the zippers or leave your suitcase at the airport sealing.

It is not generally required for travelers checks or U.S. dollars to take to switch, if you look up an ATM in time. First, it is safer and secondly, many banking operations in southern Africa performed at the desk
making it especially on Fridays, when people get paid very busy at banks. You can sometimes more than one hour waiting in line.It is very common to find services and service a tip is given. In the Netherlands the service charge is often included, but in southern Africa, people are often totally dependent on tips and gratuities. It is always a small amount and our advice is: be generous.
We advise you not to go on begging . Payment for services rendered rather well, give an extra tip for good service, buy your souvenirs at local businesses, sample local specialties and buy fresh fruit in the supermarket but not at street stalls.
