If you’re a seasoned backpacker, you’ll know that the best things in life are free – that apricot gold sunset, that deep conversation with the stranger you shared a cab with, or a dawn swim from a golden beach. But, you’ll also know that money is useful and can buy you freedom and opportunity. If you don’t have a lot of cash, don’t worry. Tanzania has so much to offer backpackers on a budget. Here are a few hints and tips about cutting costs without cutting your safari, beach and trekking opportunities. Travel You can make massive savings on travel if you’re prepared to take it more slowly – and meet more people into the bargain. The big save is a bus instead of a plane. Yes, it can be done! Travelling to, from and within Tanzania has never been easier – and cheaper – and there are a range of services that you can choose from. For instance, the Kilimanjaro Express offers low-cost fares, online booking and a comfortable ride – and you get to see the country close up which will enrich your experiences. Travel from city to city for as low as $25 with some operators. You can choose an itinerary that can take in Arusha, Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, Moshi, Morogoro, Mwanza, Tanga, Iringa and many more. If you’re in the city, join the locals and choose the ‘dala dala’ for short trips. Dala dalas are an experience in themselves! You’ll be packed in with everyone else, and you can stop any time along the route so just make sure you tell the fare collector where you want to get off. We don’t recommend you travel by dala dala late at night – keep safe! Accommodation For every luxury hotel you can find a dozen cheaper

“If someone really wants to find me, they’ll find me,” Cape Town–based interior designer Caline Williams-Wynn, of Artichoke Design, referencing her unusual absence on social media, and the Internet as a whole. “I don’t even have a business card,” she laughs. It’s a refreshing take, and a philosophy that’s worked for Williams-Wynn, allowing her to dedicate most of her time to her clients, a growing roster of luxury safari lodges that have one thing in common: spectacular design. The South African native studied design and fine art, starting her career in residential interior design while managing a small design shop in Johannesburg. “I would do three trips a year, bringing back stuff from all over the world,” she tells Vogue. It was an annual pilgrimage that came easily to her, since travel was at the forefront of much of her childhood. Though born and raised in South Africa, Williams-Wynn’s mother is Italian, and her father Lebanese. Her sister lives in France, and her brother is in Australia. “I have a very cosmopolitan family,” she explains. “Though when it comes to my style, I was most influenced by my grandmother and tagging along on her travels as a teenager. We made it all over the place; she was the most amazing lady.” But when the interior design business got too hectic, Williams-Wynn had to make a choice: the shop or the design work. Design won, and 10 years into it, she acquired her first safari lodge project. “It’s weird, I just fell into it, and the projects keep coming,” she says. More than 90 percent of her portfolio comes from lodges, and she only takes residential projects on a repeat-client basis. Williams-Wynn is the face behind some of today’s hottest safari lodge openings, including the 2016 headline-making opening of The Highlands,
