The actual name is “Star Wors” as in the Afrikaans word for sausage. We arrived at the gate without a reservation. We called the owner Johan +2782 331-2616. He was very friendly and told us that he was fully booked but that we can camp near the storeroom, or basically anywhere we like. We drove until we found a spot and set up camp. There is a shower and toilet at the storeroom. And if you book in advance you can camp at the actual camp spot. But we were very happy in the wild. We also found good reception where we stopped. The price was R150 per person per night. Just a note - when coming from the main road the previous GPS coordinates will tell you to turn left where there is no turn off. Just drive a couple of metres until you see a sign (I have since logged the fault -maybe the coordinates are correct now)

There is now a no camping sign posted.

This place is permanently closed.

Parking area for a small park. Park is closed 11:30PM to 4AM but doesn't explicitly say no parking. Grey area

Lugar tranquilo con mucho lugar para dormir. sin protección del viento. Buena señal de teléfono y 4G.

Very small parking lot off the highway. Better than a pull of for the night and less exposed. No cell service.

This place is permanently closed.

Excelente camping. Ótima localização. Banheiros muito limpos. Gramado bem aparado. Toda infraestrutura necessária. Espaço grande para MH de todos os tamanhos

Great rest stop. Warm washrooms, lights, kid playground, river, electric cars charging station, and power outlets outside washrooms

no overnight parking signs everywhere!

All is well at this location. This has been a go to spot for us on several occasions now…

Simple but very clean and quiet hotel for a good price. With pool, spa and secure parking, especially for RVs. Very close to the historical center. Highly recommended.

Great location on the river with all facilities present and in great condition. A bit on the expensive side as we paid for unpowered site 44AU$. Shops and restaurants close by. All facilities are modern and in great condition. Kitchen has the best view to the river.

9.90.lari, ( normaly for Hostel guest, but there where very Kind and except , for us) Don’t Forget a Tip.
Cameleon…

I called and verified it is OK to stay overnight. Just park in the lot to the LEFT of the store. There are adjacent businesses that have NO Parking signs, but that doesn’t apply to Cabela’s lot. Stayed here 2 nights with multiple other rigs. Huge lot, but located on a gently sloping hill so you won’t be level. A bit of road noise at night, and a few teenagers skateboarding down the hill, but they weren’t loud.

We stayed 3 nights at Croc valley (10$pp) and 2 at wildlife (13$pp). Croc valley is much nearer to the park gate, so better when gamedriving early morning until night, but was also more active, with noise from the bar until 11pm. Wildlife camp is better to spend the day, much calmer and larger view. Price are not really fixed though : 10$ in green season, 16 in peak season... but 13$ for spontaneous campers in this still empty covid time. We had elefants and baboons in both camps, swimming pool was not clean in either camps. Good ablution blocks in both. (Fresh fruit and vegs delivery by ''Thomas the gardener'', see relevant POI near Wildlifecamp).

This Immigration Office is still operating. Olthough our 30 days Visa was only 7 days old, they extended it from the expiraring date on for another 30 days, fast and friendly, 5000 Kwatcha each

Parking lot does not allow overnight parking, but people do it anyway. This place is overrun by dangerous people at night. Saw fights break out.

Awesome place, a real hidden gem - definitely recommend! This is a beautiful family run lodge with plenty of character (3 generations old so a great way to support the local community). The rooms are lovely and overlook the river (as does the sparkly clean swimming pool ;-) and the camping area is awesome (perfect for a sort out/reorganise) - right on the river, clean, tidy, safe and secure with hot showers and flushing loos - $20USD p/p to camp and well worth every cent. We all loved our stay here, the Hot Spring Pool (included in the price) was a real treat and a fantastic way to relax and recuperate.
The food was great, the wifi the fastest we have come across in all of Zambia and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. 100% recommend at least a few days here (we didn't want to leave ;-)
Big thank you to Mark and his team for making our stay so memorable (and the route advice heading North), from us in the big orange truck👍
Note. Suitable for big overland trucks, turn left off the T2 onto a dirt road for about 30kms, signposted the whole way.

Walked in at 13:00 and ordered food, very lovely owner and staff.
Nice place to sit in the shade.
Food took an hour so maybe best to order ahead as mentioned before.
They stopped making certain dishes due to being less busy but we could get a nice cold coke for 30k and Ordered a massive tasty plate of chicken and chips with cabbage and carrot salad for 75kwacha which are both good prices!

Rest Area off rt 11 with great view overlooking Eagle Lake, facing east so perfect Sunrise viewing. Normal traffic on rt 11, quiet at night, few cars pull into rest area. Full service ATT

Ample clean parking lot of indigenous nations without facilities
Park of the Indigenous Nations is the biggest park in the city, it has Lake Pato, Capybara and many other wild animals.
Safe to sleep!

How surprised to see this fruit and vegetable seller pass by the camp with his bike (1pm)! We bought him fresh mint, basil, rucola, parsley, spring onions which were not to find in Mfuwe ! He also had banana, potatoes, paprika, etc. See the pictures. Thomas' current number is 09798608990.

we spent 2 nights there. still no paper in the toilets.
we paid 600mt/night for 2 adults and 1 motorhome. they didn't charge our 3 kids (8,10 and 11 years old), so a good value for a family.

Drive down the gravel road about 1km and there’s a fire pit and clearing. Mostly pine forest with some meadow clearings. Watch for large rocks on the path.

There is space for a truck to turn around - I’m not sure about hauling a trailer.

Paths lead to a lake & forest. Nice morning views.

If you follow Shepody Road (also called New Ireland Road), there’s plenty of tracks you can pull into.

It’s all logging / snow mobile and atv trails back here.

A quiet little spot between cornfields, right up against the river. It is a car top boat access area with plenty of turnaround space.

It is on NH12A, just north of the Cornish Windsor Covered Bridge. The bridge has a clearance of less than 10'.

We spent a very quiet night here, 5G T-Mobile.

Now more space, because some busches and grass has been cut. At dry summer, you can also park in the (then dry) river, more away from the main street. Very calm and quiet...

nice quiet location. be careful not to leave the asphalt going down to the water, soft sand and mud towards the water edge.
