1. Keep an open mind: Things can and probably will go wrong. Flights could get rerouted and make unscheduled stops to pick passengers, quite a number of the airports leave a lot to be desired, and airport officials can try the patience of Biblical Job.  Through it all, keep an open mind and take it all in stride.

2. Always have cash: Especially if you'll be travelling away from the major cities, it pays to have cash rather than rely on electronic transactions.

3. Have a good hotel budget: Hotels in a lot of African countries are pricey and if you want a fairly decent place, then expect to spend more than one would in a place like Dubai, for instance.

4. Beware of airport officials: Airport officials almost always try to make a quick buck so it will do you a world of good to remain aware of this, so you know how to avoid it. The key - remain polite but firm always.
