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
