I take an around my neck pouch for my passport and cash. Goes inside my shirt

Ditto...with the majority of cash stashed in a good leather money belt.

Who are you hunting with? Hunted with Jamy Traut in Kaokoland and Panorama, then off to Swakopmund. Used US dollars for tips with no problem. Definitely do the Etosha park 2 night trip and the sand dunes trip in swakopmund. If you are going with JT miss Kirsten can line you up.

I hunted with Jamy at Panorama in 2018. I inquired about currency for tips on several occasions prior to the hunt. The response was always: USD. When tip time came around, he told me to tip the staff in Namibian dollars and exchanged $800 US. Unfortunately, the staff didn’t quite what I wanted to give.

My "formula" for $1,000 would be:

5 - new $100 bills
10 - $20 bills
20 - $10 bills
20 - $5 bills

American currency can "make things happen" in Africa.

Especially in RSA.

I, also, spread my money out.

Some on me.
Some in my carry-on.
A little in my checked baggage.

Any fellow travelers, get some too.

If you want "opportunities," take at least $10K.
