 Bargain for local crafts by PierreZA
The best is to have an idea what the item is worth to you when bargaining.
It seems that many locals are prepared to swop their crafts for T-shirts, shoes etc.

 Golden Pilsner by PierreZA
Both were very nice, smooth beers and very enjoyable.

You will most probably have your first experience of traditional song and dance at the airport when you arrive.
We were also entertained before we went on our sunset cruise, as part of the package.
Traditional music usually consists of percussion instruments and thumb piano, accompanied by singing very harmoniously.

Africans are very much into trading for western stuff. Had I known they are into that, I've brought old clothes and small things to trade for local arts and crafts instead of buying. So definitely a few old things you can ditch along the way for souvenirs.

Bargaining is a way of life. So get used to it and don't be afraid to walk away. But do have a sense of humor because ultimately who cares if you spend an extra dollar on a carved elephant.
