7 things I wish I knew before planning my first Africa safari
1. You don't need a travel agent — platforms like Visitsasa let you compare everything yourself
2. Self-drive safaris are cheaper than you think
3. Shoulder season (April–May) can cut costs by 40%
4. Some of the best lodges aren't on the big booking sites
5. Transfers from airports to camps can be booked in advance for half the price
6. Building flexibility into your itinerary saves stress AND money
7. The best views often come from the smallest, most affordable camps
