Check-Ins

Ikoma Safari Camp is a lodge set in the midst of an incredible scenery of Accasia woodlands. The lodge has 12 rooms made up of woods each under thatch self-contained with a private veranda overlooking the impressive acacia tree and bushes of the Serengeti and a larger area for camping. The central restaurant and bar area boast a large camp fire an ideal spot to unwind with chilled drink after a long day of exciting game view.
The Camp is ideally situated at the border of the Serengeti national park on the North West side of the park which is 7 kms from the The Fort Ikoma gate. The lodge is also along the corridor of the migration from Serengeti to Maasai Mara which is absolutely exciting especially from the second week of May where you get to see wildebeest concentration.
Ikoma Safari Camp being located 40 minutes from center of Serengeti National park, bordered Ikorongo and Grumeti Game reserve on the other hand. This gives our guests an opportunity to explore the larger part of the park especially the western corridor including Kirawira area up to Lake Victoria.

Took the local ferry at 10:00. Paid 100ep. People told me the ferry before was at 6:45.

even though it's next to the road at night it's quiet and you don't hear much traffic, the sound of the sea is stronger. you have to be careful and pay attention when driving the few meters because there is a lot of sand and some parts are soft

Basic place for your stay in Tichitt. Traditional rooms with mats (comfortable!) instead of beds, basic bathroom with shower and toilet (no tap water in town when we visited).
Room is 400, dinner 300, breakfast 70. Homemade hot bread served with every dish!
Lady doesn’t speak any foreign languages, but will call her English speaking brother when in doubt.
We stayed 3 nights. Bring earplugs as the village generator is close. Also bring sleeping bag and mosquito repellent, it’s an oasis :-)
Very good mobile internet connection with Mauritel/Moov. Not so good with Mattel.

MasterCard also possible (+1% as well). New & clean toilets.

Highly recommended boat cruise to Pansy Island from 10am-3pm for 1800 Mt pp. The owners are just lovely and you see that they enjoyed making us a great time. Braai on deck included, bar on board. The view during the cruise is amazing and you have lots of time to swim in the ultra warm water at Pansy Island. Make reservations via +258 84 054 9311

a lot of car slots, KFC, McDonalds, gas station, there is trucker lounge here, you have to ask the gas station cashier for the key of hot shower inside of lounge

You like pastry, cake and fresh crispy baguette?
Stop here!

Great place to hop in the water. At low tide the water is very far away, but at high tide there are no waves and it’s easy to go in and get refreshed. There’s a trash can close by otherwise not much. You have good service here. Saw a sealion!

We came to the parking lot right by the lake and pulled in, assuming it was the spot. The highway noise was still pretty audible even with all our windows and curtains closed. I guess we were wrong about the spot being okay for a night or it’s just typical bored cops trying to make their infraction quota because at 3am we had a cop bang on our window and flashing a bright flashlight at us through the curtain crack waking us up demanding to know where we came from, where we are going and how long we are staying. A huge jump scare and felt like a total violation of privacy, he didn’t knock first he just went for a full peek. He told us to move literally 10 ft across the other side of the parking lot so the cop coming onto shift at 6am wouldn’t give us grief? How does moving all of 10ft make a difference as to whether it’s 24h or not?! We didn’t see any “no camping” or “no overnight parking” signs? Wouldn’t recommend this place at all due to the highway noise and the fact cops seem to love patrolling the area.

Stayed a quick Thursday night traveling east. As others mentioned the “road” looks like someone’s driveway and is very steep. The promaster, with new KO2 tires struggled to make it up. Stayed at the first lot which was level and had a great view. A pickup or 2 drove up to the second lot once or twice. Never bothered me. Some truck noice from the highway down in the valley. ATT & Verizon coverage

Nice place. Probably the best coming from Tahua, at the northern exit of Salar de Uyuni. Clean, warm, comfortable. Great meals, both dinner and breakfast. 200 bs for a matrimoniale with private bathroom. Same price for a double. Nice owners. Hugo’s phone number: 72310134 / [email protected]

This hostel doesn't exist anymore. Tried it yesterday. The lady who lives there is not hosting people.

Very nice and tidy beach, good for a few nights. Some locals came to bbq at the few pavillons, people have been very friendly to us. No problems whatsoever.

They charged our Mercedes 4x4 truck 5,000 CFA as a class 4. We argued that we are class 2 and this is way too expensive. It got heated so in the end we paid but asked them to stop overcharging tourists.

Crooked cop pulled us over saying we did a dangerous manoeuvre on the road while we were just driving normally. Wanted 1200 pesos or he said he would do various things like tow my car or take my plate. I refused to give him my real driver’s license and only gave him a copy, which after what happened felt like the good decision. Ended up giving him 500 pesos and he let us go.

Quiet safe place to sleep, machine yard and City Hall buses. Flat land and well lit.

Local seguro tranquilo para domir, patio de maquinas e onibus da Prefeitura. Terreno plano e bem iluminado.

Its open!!! big rigs allowed, Ana it's owner its a friendly person.

A good place for the night, very quiet. Its a street next to a school, lots of Shadow in the afternoon.

Duplicate check-in, sorry

Didn't sleep here but in Playa Puyenca.

there are gaz stations on both sides of the road.
with an oxxo and an hotel.
there was also a restaurant but that didn't look nice so we had dinner at the food stalls.
first we parked near the hotel and the road side "garage" but the woman from the hotel asked us 120pesos for nada aparantly that terrain belongs to the hotel as well. so we moved next to the abandoned coffee bar and had a nice sleep (but it is a noisy place)

Didn't stay here a night with my motor as it's more a industrial fishing place. The blue gate is actually the entrance of the working harbour. However, the upper huge parking lot is good for vans. 4G Claro signal! I made video calls here, very smooth.

very nice location. lots of room for overnight parking. would come here again

1000pp for tent 6000 for a cabana. guy is nice and let's you know when workers come to party as this is a campground for the road workers, otherwise mostly cyclists here. kitchen wifi and hot water

Mostly as described — a good stop with dump — except boy can the wind HOWL through here. If it’s windy out, don’t expect to get much rest. Our entire rig was shaking all night.

Says 2 hour parking but the clerk inside said it is fine to park overnight so long as you don’t cause any problems. Overall, it was very pleasant to spend the night at Pilots.

2nd time staying here 1 year appart.

very nice and lots of space.

Indeed the best bread we've had in a long time.
Both times we went, we had to wait about half an hour for the bread to come out of the oven, and for this sourdough bread, we were willing to wait! (around the corner there is a little park with exercise machines and benches)

Nice camp with a unique experience of getting very close to elephants.
Price is now 210pula pppn (as of Jan 2023) - a bit expensive but worth it for the elephant experience.

It still works. Amazing water flow. It is free accessable.
