    Did you use American money for souvenirs etc to use the currency of African country you were in?

    We did not take any foreign currency, just used credit cards, but you need to be careful that your card does not leave your sight especially in restaurants. We had no issues but were told this by the locals. There is not much opportunity to shop as is usual on most Tauck rours which is actually what I prefer. There is a good gift shop at Kirstenbosch Gardens, we visited those before the start of the tour. Plenty of shops around the Capetown hotel area and a shopping centre right where the hotel was in Johannesburg, but having said that South Africa is expensive.i have gotten very good at speed shopping because of this but also. My husband hates shopping and will tolerate very little time.
