    Hi all
    I am looking into a safari in Tanzania, which would need to be paid to a local travel agent in USD. Amount is in or around $6k, so keen to get the best way to fund this. Does anyone have an experience of this? e.g. via our bank, or the An Post currency card?
    Many thanks

    I did a safari in Tanzania for my honeymoon 5 years ago. At the time I just did a bank transfer but there is probably a way to get your USD cheaper now.

    Have a great time there. We had an amazing time.

    I'd use someone like transferwise or currencyfair.

    Revolut should be good as they have limit £5000 per 96? hours card spending
