Money-Saving Tips
Eat at local markets and street vendors instead of hotel restaurants (typically 60-80% cheaper)
Use public minibus taxis instead of private taxis for city transport (usually 70-85% savings)
Stay in Maseru city center to walk to attractions rather than paying for transport
Shop at local craft cooperatives rather than tourist-focused shops for 40-60% savings on souvenirs
Book accommodation directly with properties rather than through international booking sites to avoid markup fees
Visit during shoulder seasons (March-May, September-November) for 20-40% lower accommodation rates
Pack warm clothing to avoid buying expensive winter gear locally during cold months
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Relying solely on private taxis for transport instead of learning the minibus taxi system (can cost 3-5x more)
Eating exclusively at hotel restaurants and tourist areas (typically 100-200% markup over local options)
Not carrying cash - many local businesses don't accept cards, forcing expensive ATM fees or currency exchange
