A minibus to the old town and back cost two people less than $2 total. Sitting in the front next to the driver was comfortable and not hot — a good way to experience local life.

Caught a taxi with a young driver — three people paid $1 each ($3 total). The driver also helped exchange money and was willing to wait. He offered a round trip to Senzo Mall (18 km from the hotel) for $10.

After negotiating, a taxi with air conditioning cost $15 instead of the initially quoted $25. A car without AC was offered at $25 — clearly a bad deal. Always haggle and don't accept the first price.
