Read about the ICT access challenges on the roadtrip to South Africa.

To: wainaina@madeinkenya.org To any East African traveler coming down to S.A., be prepared for Internet drama. Wireless at Ifisi Community Centre in Mbeya, Tanzania is slow & cyber cafe's in town are quite expensive. However, there's an arcade in Lusaka, Zambia (Microlink I-Zone Cafe) that is awesome - in terms of speed & service. We also had an easy time using wireless at Fawlty Towers Guest House in Livingstone, Zambia till the wee hours of the morning. Kasane town, in Botswana, has wireless Internet in the C.B.D. area, though connection is a problem; we had no access at our Thebe River Lodge campsite. But, we managed to browse for a short while at Kasane Computers this morning. This is after being told that we can't use our flash disks at the Post Office cyber. We're hoping good things await us in Francistown's Tati River Lodge. -- Posted By May Githua to K24 Roadtrip at 6/17/2010 11:33:00 AM -- Sent from my mobile device Wainaina Mungai ----- http://www.bungesms.com http://www.madeinkenya.org http://www.wainainamungai.com "The HAPPIEST people DONOT necessarily have the BEST of all.
