Johannesburg Zoo
The Johannesburg Zoo is a favourite place for locals to take a
stroll among the numerous enclosures that house more than 3,000
species of animal, including polar bears that can be viewed
underwater in their pool. Of course the Big Five are all in
residence too. A tractor-tram does circuits of the zoo for those
who don't fancy walking. On the eastern edge of the zoo is the
Museum of Military History, which has some interesting exhibits
like tanks, fighter aircraft and submarines.

Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
