Читать книгу (101 things to know when you go) ON SAFARI IN AFRICA - Patrick Brakspear - Страница 26

I would recommend that you carry a combination of cash (preferably US$ for most countries…and Rand for South Africa) and at least one credit card (preferably more than one).

You may find little use for local currency on safari, although it can be handy for road-side purchases and possibly tipping (with US dollars, or South African Rand in southern African countries, accepted keenly by staff as a gratuity). Nearly all bills can be settled using your credit card (be sure to ask if there is a surcharge) and most items in camp/lodge gift shops are priced in US$ and can be purchased using cash. In the major towns, ATMs will allow you to draw additional funds (in local currency only – please note).

Travellers cheques (checks) have become less acceptable in Africa in recent times (Tanzania is no longer accepting them for example) and they may be refused outside of the banking system (or not accepted at all).
