You will be approached by young men who will offer to be your "guides"...for a price of course. You don't need them! Stick to you guns, telling them you do not want or need guides and absolutely WILL NOT pay them a single shilling if they insist on following you. Even if you just arrived, tell them you have been around and are tired being guided when you don't want to be.
