Visa & Credit cards are widely accepted at most lodges, camps, and reputable establishments throughout Africa. Using a credit card offers several advantages. Firstly, it eliminates the need to carry large sums of cash, providing added security and peace of mind during your travels. Additionally, credit cards offer flexibility, allowing you to manage your expenses efficiently and track your transactions easily. However, it is important to note that while credit cards are widely accepted, there may be instances where cash is necessary or preferred. For example, in remote areas or when making small purchases at local markets, cash may be the preferred method of payment. It’s always a good idea to have a small amount of local currency on hand for these situations.

To avoid any inconvenience, we recommend informing your credit card company about your travel plans prior to your departure. This helps prevent any unexpected card holds or transaction denials due to suspected fraudulent activity. Currency exchange facilities are available at most international airports and major cities throughout Africa, making it easy to obtain local currency if needed.
