Insider tips
- — Hotel/lodge Wi‑Fi can be slow or intermittent — keep your eSIM data on for safer, more consistent access.
- — Use your data for domestic flights, intercity buses and trains (where available), national park permits, and ride‑hailing pickup points.
- — Rainy seasons and wildlife viewing windows vary by country (e.g., Great Migration often Jul–Oct in the Serengeti/Mara). Desert regions can be extremely hot — download offline maps for long drives.

What Our Africa Travelers Say
Plan recommendations

- Business travelers – Choose 8–15 GB if you rely on video calls and hotspot for a laptop. Enable 5G where available for smoother conferencing.
- Backpackers & overlanders – Pick 10–25 GB monthly plans for longer routes across several countries. Consider Global if you’re continuing to other regions.
- Families – One eSIM per device. Budget 2–5 GB per person per week, more if kids stream video. Top‑ups are instant in the app.
