A variety of shopping centres, local handicrafts markets and roadside stalls
are found. Quality gold and diamond jewellery is high on the list of the
most popular purchases. Leather goods, wooden carvings, sculptures, paintings
and local handicrafts including pottery, beadwork and woven articles are
also available for purchase.
Visa, American Express, Diners Club and MasterCard are accepted by most
restaurants, stores, hotels, car rental firms and other points of sale
and service. Proof of identity may be requested in some instances and
it is therefore useful to carry a passport or some form of photo identification
at all times.
Endangered Products and Curios
Travellers must be aware of banned and illegal products. Some curios:
Masks, stone or wood carved heads, beadwork and ornaments for Africa are
usually fine! What you should bear in mind is that 99 per cent of curios
sold in established shops and even roadside or street corner traders is
mass-produced and not particularly authentic.
