Cash on hand? How much, which currency and denomination?
I tried a search but didn't find much as far as specifics goes..
How much do people going through Africa recommend having on hand for unexpected situations, bribes, etc..
I get the sense that a combination of dollars and euros is probably best, but I'm not sure how much to take and what denomination is best. I would imagine that a stack of 5's for bribes and 50's for actual expenses would be best.
Obviously I'll have an ATM card and I'll try to always have local currency on me, but from talking to other overlanders it seems that having a fallback stash of foreign currency is a smart thing also.
Appreciate any feedback,
Tony
