Travellers cheques sound like a good idea. At least if they are lost, you can recover the funds. As long as you can pay what you need with them. You might need more cash of course on a self guided trip.

I usually carry funds with me if unsure of where to put them safely. Of course there is a risk, just like carrying your passport on your person.

Not sure which Congo he is speaking about, but when I was in Zaire/Congo, traveller's checks were worthless as the remoteness of the areas precluded any cashing of said checks and they weren't negotiable as issued.

Cash is the thing, tho troublesome, just like as Nitro says carrying one's passport. Of course, when needed, really needed, the passport must be on one's person.

Ain't nasty places fun?
