There are a number of factors to consider when looking at your budget. Will you be staying in hostels or 5-star hotels? Do you like to eat out? Are you paying for all of your flights and transportation expenses ahead of time? Are there any pricey ‘extras’ such as a safari or skydiving that will cut into your on-the-road budget? Will you be spending more time in Africa or Western Europe? Think of as many factors as you can before you figure out how much you should be saving.
