Shortages High Prices - Local Transportation When Visiting African Countries
Shortages, High Prices, and Other Problems

Consumer goods, gas and food are in short supply in some African countries and prices for these commodities may be high by U.S. standards.

Shortages of hotel accommodations also exist so confirm reservations well in advance. Some countries experience disruptions in electricity and water supply or in services such as mail and telecommunications.

Local Transportation

Rental cars, where available, may be expensive. Hiring a taxi which is in good condition is often the easiest way to go sightseeing.

Taxi fares should be negotiated in advance. Travel on rural roads can be slow and difficult in the dry season and disrupted by floods in the rainy season.
