Backpacking tourists and independent travellers to Africa, can also stay in touch with their family and friends etc via the growing number of internet cafes and cyber linked sites that are today available.
Remember that quite a large amount of the tour operators and hostels have their own links to the net as well and most hostels will allow you to use their facilities for a moderate charge, more convenient often than a cybercafe, and now there are also the CyberHost terminals available in various places.
NB: The Cafes that were not operational sites after a few monthly checks by Linkchecker have been removed. If you were one affected, pls contact me and I will relist you - LAST link deletions 07/08/2005
PLEASE let me know if you own or know of a facility not listed, AFRICA is getting wired at a rapid rate
Intenet Cafes and facilities are now quite widespread in South Africa, with many of the backpacking hostels also providing a service utilising their dial up connections for your convenience.
Today YOU really have NO excuse for not having your own WEB-BASED email service now! Most major search engines will give you this facility, which will make your email available worldwide or you can try the local Webmail Service, that should give you good local speeds.
These facilities are available to check ANY POP Email, using any of the following sites, choose the one that gives you the fastest service, depending on where you are:
