Credit Card Fraud

[CAustin]

My outfitter African Sky had my credit info for the deposit and then the final payment I presented the card. I simply called American Express and told them where the charges would come from and how much from African Sky and Capricorn taxidermy. AMX wouldn't accept charges during the specified time frame but those two vendors. I took enough cash for tips. All worked out fine.

is there a max limit to how much cash you can carry during int'l travel? I really don't want to have a giant stach on my person. I think the credit cards might be the better idea, but I understand cash is king in many instances. Are the all big 4 US cards accepted in SA? (AMEX, VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER)

Traveling from USA I think you must declare anything over $10,000. I took enough cash for tips of PH and camp staff. The rest went on credit card!
