Now before you feel the urge to launch into a News24-comments-section-style-SA-self-loathing tirade, check out the reasons listed in the description of each, many of them have little merit to their strength.<\/p>\n<h2>Botswanan Pula &#8211; R1.20<\/h2>\n<p>An obvious one is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/lp\/cheap-flights-to-botswana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Botswana<\/a>. The Pula has been stronger than the Rand for some years now and the country&#8217;s economy and political structure is often lauded as a shining example of how an African democracy can work. 1 Pula will cost you around R1.20, though this is not as bad as it was in around 2004 where it would have cost you 20 cents extra.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You Might Be Interested In:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/travelstartstg.wpenginepowered.com\/cheap-okavango-delta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Okavango Delta On The Cheap<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Egyptian Pound &#8211; R1.50<\/h2>\n<p>Another example which has long been stronger than the Rand, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/lp\/egypt\/flights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Egypt<\/a>, despite all its political turmoil has been able to retain a lot of its country&#8217;s currency value. 1 Egyptian Pound will cost you around R1.50.<\/p>\n<h2>Libyan Dinar &#8211; R8.53<\/h2>\n<p>Yet another country in political turmoil with a strong currency is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/lp\/libya\/flights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Libya<\/a>. Perhaps it&#8217;s oil which is keeping things afloat but one Libyan Dinar will set you back around R8.53 currently, making it the strongest currency in Africa.<\/p>\n<h2>Tunisia Dinar &#8211; R6.65<\/h2>\n<p>Recovering from its status as the birthplace of the Arab Spring, Tunisia&#8217;s Dinar gained almost 20% against the Rand this year. One Tunisian Dinar will now cost you around R6.65.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also see:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/travelstartstg.wpenginepowered.com\/the-great-african-experience-discover-tunisia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Great African Experience: Discover Tunisia<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Moroccan Dirham &#8211; R1.29<\/h2>\n<p>Rubbing shoulders with Europe, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/lp\/cheap-flights-to-morocco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Morocco<\/a> is in the news as much for illegal immigrants trying to <a title=\"Morocco-Spain border\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Melilla#Immigration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">smash down the border<\/a> it shares with Spain as it is for its exotic culture and beautiful scenery. Morocco&#8217;s currency wasn&#8217;t always as strong against the Rand, in fact, it was as recently as October 2012 when the Rand was more valuable. 1 Moroccan Dirham will cost you R1.29 currently.<\/p>\n<h2>Ghanaian Cedi &#8211; R3.79<\/h2>\n<p>A very surprising example of a strong African currency, Ghana&#8217;s Cedi. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/lp\/ghana\/flights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ghana<\/a> is well known for its extensive natural resources, namely Gold from its Ashanti region (hence the Anglo-Ashanti gold company famous in South Africa). This one is actually a cheat though, the Cedi is actually in its 3rd rendition under the same name as the currency has been revalued a couple of times. The most recent revaluation was 2007 and it&#8217;s lost almost 50% of its value against the Rand since then, so the current rate of R3.79 for 1 Cedi shouldn&#8217;t last long.<\/p>\n<h2>Sudanese Pound &#8211; R1.85<\/h2>\n<p>Another story very similar to the Ghanaian one is that of the Sudanese Pound. Revalued successively during its post-colonial period, the most recent revaluation came in 2011 following the independence of the oil-rich Southern half of the country which became <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/lp\/south-sudan\/flights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">South Sudan<\/a>. The Sudanese Pound is now worth R1.85, but likely not for long.<\/p>\n<h2>Eritrean Nakfa &#8211; R1.01<\/h2>\n<p>A country you probably haven&#8217;t heard from before, it split from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/lp\/ethiopia\/flights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ethiopia<\/a> in the early 90&#8217;s but has a currency, roughly on the same value as ours. This is only a recent development though since the beginning of 2014 and is as a result of the currency being pegged to the US Dollar. 1 Nakfa will cost you R1.01.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find Out More About Ethiopia:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/travelstartstg.wpenginepowered.com\/explore-ethiopia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Must-Visit Ethiopia<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Zambian Kwacha &#8211; R1.73<\/h2>\n<p>The country formerly known as the colony of Northern Rhodesia has sadly never been known as an economic success story and at a stage had an exchange rate of 1 US Dollar = 5120 Kwacha. The currency was revalued in January 2013 and until recently 1 Kwacha cost over R2, today 1 Kwacha buys you only R1.73.<\/p>\n<p>Just because the South African Rand is not as strong as we would like it to be, that doesn&#8217;t mean we can&#8217;t still travel.
