Know before you go

  • ATMs – There are few ATMs in big hotels or at the airport that support Visa or Mastercard cards for cash withdrawals.
  • Cash – The best currency to bring is US dollars. US$50 and US$100 bills get better rates of exchange than smaller denominations (and other currencies). However, you are advised to leave large bills at the hotel safes and carry small bills ($10 or $20 )

  • Security at the parks - When travelling in the National Parks, our guides are trained to put your security and protection from wildlife first. They will warn you if it is not safe to get out of the safari vehicle.
  • Photography - Do not take photographs of border posts or military/police posts, or government buildings.
