You don't really want to bring cash. You will need a little, especially if you are going to be taking a taxi from the airport, and just to be safe. For this money just change it at the airports, though they don't always have the best rates. Then just bring your debit card or ATM card, and you can withdraw at any bank in South Africac. However...warning: before you do this call your bank and check the fees they will charge you for foreign withdrawals. When I went to London I paid about $300 in fees to withdraw money, and slightly less during my time in South Africa. So if you are going to use your ATM card, then just withdraw large amounts at a time, but do not carry it all with you at once. It's much safer to bring a bit at a time, and leave the rest locked up somewhere. Other than that, use your credit card. VISA is accepted pretty much everywhere in the world, so it's no hassle running into a store, dining place, or anywhere to use it there. You will need cash for the African markets, but as I said, just use your ATM card and withdraw money. It's much easier. If you don't have an ATM card, then get a Thomas Cook card, that you can put money on beforehand, and withdraw it once you get to Africa. Good luck, and enjoy your trip!

Yes, others have given you the conversion rate but . . .
If you're thinking you've actually WON this amount because you've been contacted about a UK LOTTERY win, please DON'T GO ANY FURTHER--THIS IS A SCAM.
Just for your information, there are online $ converters for all sorts of foreign monies, just Google: money converter.
