Here are some tips:

• Try using Skyscanner or Skiplagged for flight deals
• Check if you have any points/miles available to use from your Travel Credit Card
• Try booking (2) one-way flights instead of roundtrips 

2. Safety First: Africa is vast and diverse, so safety is a top priority. Research your destinations, stay informed about local customs, and be aware of any travel advisories. Keep your belongings secure, use reputable transportation services, and have emergency contacts and local authorities' information handy.

Here are some tips:

• Find a reputable private driver and secure them for the entire trip
• Use Uber at your own discretion 
• Carpool with your friends to save money

3. Packing Hacks: Packing for Detty December requires a bit of finesse. Depending on your itinerary, you should pack a variety of clothing for sight-seeing, tours, dinners, and nightlife.

Roll your clothes to save space, and don't forget a universal adapter for your electronic devices.

Here are some tips:

• Use packing cubes to organize your clothing 
• Carry all your valuables in your carry-on and not in your checked suitcase
