In these days of Facebook, Email and Twitter it seems no-one can stand to be without an internet connection for more than a few hours. We would like to advise you that a few weeks holiday without an internet connection will be good for your soul, but we won't because that would be very hypocritical.

The good news is that more and more lodges are starting to offer some form of connectivity for their guests (but this is by no means guaranteed). In the major center's you can expect to find an internet cafe or two, while Windhoek & Swakopmund have several coffee shops and cafe's offering WiFi Hotspots.

As a general rule of thumb internet connections around Namibia are slow, the fastest ADSL connection currently offers a whopping 2048Kps. In many places connections are unreliable and very slow so don't expect much and you may be pleasantly surprised.

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true. Robert Wilensky,
