South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe- which currency to bring?

Subject line pretty much says it all. Trip starts in Victoria Falls, moves on to a boat trip out of Kasane, then back to South Africa. Very confused about whether we need any native currency ahead of time or not; it sounds like people prefer dollars.

It also sounds like you might pay in dollars, but get back the native currency, so you want to carry a ton of small bills?

I'm trying to pay for as much as possible using a credit card ahead of time, of course.

Thanks-
