East coast of Africa paying for fuel
 

Good morning all.
I am in the process of planning my trip down Africa and would like to know how you pay for fuel. Would a card work or would you have to take cash for the most part. Any help would be greatly appreciated

A mix. Some places you can pay on a card, others you’ll need cash. I mostly just used a credit card that didn’t charge a fee (I used a UK Post Office mastercard) and drew cash when i needed it in local currency, as well as carrying US dollars (hidden in various places).

Take care on cash though, some places have limits (i took c 4k USD into Zim for example but was only allowed to take 2k out) so easier to draw it in local currency in the bigger towns that have ATMs

thanks for the info
