Pre-paid activities

Hi there:

My husband and I are planning a trip to Victoria Falls in July of this year, I keep on reading articles about how the restaurants, tour operators there, do not accept credit cards and frankly I am worried because I do not think it is safe to carry cash while traveling, that said I need your advice regarding pre-paying for activities and meals (we are staying at the Lokuthula Lodge and had e-mailed them asking to pre-book activities but as yet no response from them (after 1 month)!!
Do you have any suggestions on how to pre-paid for activities/meals? please note I do not want to use pay pal, I rather pay with a credit card.
Thank you, kindly,
