Spending Money and currency
Each country has its own
currency as follows: South African Rand, Botswana: Pula, Zambia: Zambian Kwacha.
Money can be changed onto local currency once we arrive in Zambia and Botswana. Please note that Kwacha and Pula cannot be changed into other currencies outside of the country, so do not leave the country with any local currency. Your guide will assist you in calculating the correct amount to change. Credit cards are generally accepted but travellers’ cheques are not. Outside South Africa ATM machines are difficult to find so please ensure you arrange your spending money prior to departure. It is important that you have spending money in cash in either South African Rand or USD preferably in small denomination notes. Please also note that it is advisable to only take USD printed after 1995 (i.e. big face with watermark & magnetic strip), as money of the countries visited will not take any notes that are from before 1995 due to the high incidences of fraud.
We recommend USD20-30 per day spending money.
ATM’s are very common here now. Most tourists you see are at the ATM not in the bureau or bank. ATM's are available but do not rely on them entirely.T.C’s can be difficult.
We can book pre tour accommodation at the departure hotel for you if you provide us with your arrival details. You will need to pay for your room upon arrival. Post tour accommodation can be booked en-route with the help of your crew.
