I am travelling to South Africa at the end of this month and the JY holiday details state that a maximum of 5000 ZAR (about (£290.00) can be bought into SA by tourists. Having looked on the internet there seems to be a range of limits depending on where you look including the officials SA sites but the consensus seems to be 25,000 maximum. Do you know the official figure thanks,

Thanks,

You are right Jilly, £290 is not much to take in and I don't particularly want to be visiting a cash machine early on. For example the post office will not let you order online anything less than £400 and states you must declare if you bring in more than 10,000 ZAR

Travelex say 25,000 ZAR

I guess we have to take a chance, I will probably take £500 worth of ZAR, plus dollars for Zambia and Sterling for the trips if I want to book any more.

Anyway its only just over a week and looking forward to meeting up with everyone
