Do some researchGo to the internet and research about various hotels around the city where you want to spend your holiday. Choose the hotel of your choice that offers low rates and make an early reservation. Don’t wait for the peak season when the prices have skyrocketed as this will cause you to incur extra expenses.2. Be open mindedDon’t feel left out or feel that you are not living life to the fullest when you see posts of other people enjoying their Christmas in fancy hotels. You can take an incredible trip to a cheaper destination without making yourself bankrupt.3. Join a tour groupThere are some tour groups that exist on social media. The prices are much cheaper since the costs are shared.4. Have different sites in mindKenya is a big country. There are some cheap but beautiful and attractive places someone can visit for the holiday.5. Take a day tripBudget for a friendly and cheap way to get out of town and enjoy yourself with your spouse or family. For instance, you can go camping for a day or two with a group of friends or family members. This is likely to cost you less money as different camping sites have group offers which allow you to share the costs.
