CHARITY
Do not encourage begging by handing out cash. You will suddenly be mobbed by a whole crowd of people who seem to magically appear from nowhere. There are proper avenues for donation. Africans are encouraged to make an honest living by participating in community projects which you may be supporting on this trip at various Crafts & Fruits Markets. Sweets, clothes & stationery for kids should be handed over to school teachers or village elders for distribution
SMOKING
Do not smoke in vehicles, rooms, restaurants. You may smoke anywhere else outdoors, during rest stops and pit-stops, and on your private verandas, as long as you stub out and dispose of your ends responsibly.
DRUGS
Drugs that are illegal in South East Asia are illegal in Africa as well.
