International payment using a credit card

in Credit cards
Hi
Hope someone can help me out here.
I need to send £1356.40 to a bank account in South Africa to pay the balance for a holiday there this year. The also need to receive the payment in pounds rather than in rand (ZAR).
I could use my own funds from my bank account but the amount I need to pay would almost clear me out, which is why I prefer making the payment using a credit card at 0%. This way I can make small payments to pay off this over the coming months.
The problem is the credit card I have won't allow me to make international payments abroad.
Is there any way around this where I can use my credit card to pay off this balance?
Thanks

Unless the recipient accepts credit card payments it will not be possible.
Do you have a credit card with a promotional rate for purchases which might help you budget for the next few months if you use your own money to pay the holiday balance?0 -
Western Union accept most cards but you're limited to £400 in each of your first two transfers:
