If you’re on an extended vacation or business trip in Africa it’s inevitable that at some point you’ll want to check your e-mail, transfer money between accounts, pay your rent, or simply post pictures on Facebook or Instagram of the beautiful things you’ve seen. The simplest way to do this is to get a portable travel router.

It’s the best way to get internet access in Africa while you’re traveling.
