Safari Money Tips

Essential financial advice for your East Africa safari.

Bring clean USD bills

Most safari lodges accept USD. Bring clean, post-2006 bills — older or marked notes are often refused.

Local currency for tips

You'll need local currency for tips, market purchases, and small roadside stops. Budget ~$10-15/day for tips.

ATM availability

ATMs are available in major cities but not in national parks. Withdraw enough cash before heading to game reserves.

Card payments

Upscale lodges accept Visa/Mastercard, but a 3-5% surcharge is common. Always carry a cash backup.
