I have a stepson going to Africa for a few weeks. Can anyone recommend a solar/windup phone charger that is any good at all ?

I've bought 7/8 solar chargers of varying sizes over the past 2 years off eBay and Aldi they all work well and have cost between £10/15 and ranged in size from a ten pack of cigs to half a DVD box, I'd recommend all of them and say they are that simple that any one of them would be up to Africa, use one and have two spare.

Do you have a name or model I could look for ?

The Aldi ones are Altius and the bigger eBay ones are named 6000 T Pocket Power I only have 4 left at mine the others went to my kids and gf, do a search on eBay for solar phone charger and pick the models that suit the needs in question and your pocket with the highest feedback rating, I never buy off a less than 99.5% good feedback seller, I expect amazon sells them too.
