Do we need to take $ for Zambia add-on or can we exchange over there?

Is it worth taking travellers cheques or is it easier to take rand and sterling?

It's difficult to say how much you should take because some people spend quite a bit and some don't spend very much at all. But I would say you should take at least £20 a day to make sure you have enough for food, drink and a few souvenirs. That said, you could probably get by on around £10 if you are very careful.

For Zambia, you could change some Sterling on arrival, and possibly any leftover rand you might have.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with travellers' cheques as they can be a hassle to change.
