Apr. 2010 · After travelling for 14 years in outback Africa without it I finally decided to take one with me for the first time last January when I was visiting Botswana. My experience with the Iridium Satphone makes me long for more... If your travelling in remote areas like Central Kalahari, Kaokoland or driving across the great Ntwetwe Pan I for one will recommend that you take a Satphone with you.
The importance of satellite phone communication cannot be underestimated. In many cases they are a life saving device though even in the most remote places sometimes time is against the emergency services to arrive and many lives have been lost. Satellite phones are the essential lifeline to the rest of the World and thanks to modern state-of-the-art technology they form as essential contact that enables us to communicate even in the most secluded areas of the planet in a matter of seconds. Satellite phones have become the ultimate life saving device.
The presumably high costs are most likely the reason that travellers decide not to take one with them but when you spend over € 5.500 for your trip then the extra € 200 for a Satphone is surely not a genuine reason to go on Safari without it.
What is your 'excuse' not to take one with you?
