Some sites dealing with Namibia which we find useful:-

Air Namibia

The National carrier operates flights from London and Frankfurt as well as regional flights from Cape Town, Johannesburg, Victoria Falls & Luanda

Cardboard Box Backpackers Hostel

We share the same name (a legacy of the travel shop having started in the backpackers) but are now completely separately owned & managed. Still an awesome place to stay, hang out and have a few drinks.

A selection of gratuitous links to sites which the web-site designer loves. These are the places that keep me sane:-

Trackking - Online Horse Racing Game

Awesome free online racing game, even for those who know nothing about real life racing - if I did not have to work (and keep our own website updated) this is where we would spend all our time. Should come with a surgeon generals warning for being addictive

Cricinfo

Another one of our passions, cricket! This is the definitive cricket site and their online ball by ball commentary allows me to keep on working on my laptop without having to rush off to find a TV to follow the game.
