We are travelling to Namibia and South Africa. In the past, Ive noticed that the exchange rates are always better at the destination - will this apply here too (does anyone know the reason for this?)
Or is it a better idea to just use a credit or debit card to withdraw from an ATM as soon as we get to the airport at Windhoek and Johannesburg?

Namibia unless you are in Windhoek then you will struggle to find regular cash points! And the lodges and so on would charge you a fortune to change when they are the only place around for miles!! I would defo take with you or take it in US dollars.
As for South Africa again it depends where you are going and what you are doing!
