Since there are 4 currencies (USD, rand, pula, and kwachas) involved with the Africa's Wildlife tour, with which currency should we tip the tour director if we so choose to do so?

We tipped using the Rand currency because our tour director lived in South Africa. I would tip depending on where your director lives.

Want to make sure I have some local currency for our Africa's Wildlife Tour. Since we will not have access to any ATM's in Zambia, I tried to get some Kwachas from our bank (Wells Fargo) but they don't deal in that currency. Other banks only provide currency exchange for customers - which we are not. Since the other 3 countries (S.A., Zimbabwe, and Botswanna) all deal with USD and/or the rand -- there's no problem having some cash on hand. Do we really need cash in Zambia or can we get away with just our credit card?

Hi amspeed50,
Not to worry - you should be fine with rand, USD, and your credit card in Zambia. We wish you a wonderful safari in southern Africa!

Hi rozr14, Tipping is a highly personal matter (and by no means mandatory) and should reflect your satisfaction with the service received. Should you wish to express your thanks to your Odysseys Unlimited Tour Director for exceptional service, we recommend the following guideline for gratuities: $10.00 - $15.00 per person, per day.
If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service department, by email at customerservice@odysseys-unlimited.com or toll-free: (888) 370-6765
