What currency should I take and in cash, travellers cheques or both?
United States dollars, Euro or Pounds Sterling are the currencies for Africa. Take the majority of your funds in Travellers Cheques but keep small denomination cash for tips and departure taxes. Do not take US$100.00 bills as they are in the main unacceptable and even avoid US$50.00 notes. There are ATM machines as well as money changes in most of the major cities and at airports and casinos.
