Check-Ins

Informal RV and car area behind the TA truckstop. 1 to 2 bars of Verizon. Very slow. Safe and relatively clean.

Was 16.75 to stay in winter with self registration that accepts cash or credit card #. Bathrooms open and clean, park plowed and the walkways cleared. Enjoyed our stay!

Great campsite on the beach, with views of the islands :)

Proper showers - cold, but clean!

Since the Hippie times in the 70s people come here for camping. For India it is a great place, where you won't be disturbed, or asked for a selfie, but it is definitely not clean or quiet and sometimes smells of urin. Despite that we stayed more than a week and had a good time.
Sundays are very busy. In general many locals/ boat workers, Indian tourists and western tourists come here.
Possible to fill up water at resorts. Beach showers at beach bars. Surf school, best surf at low tide. Many restaurants and bars with wifi. Just the phone signal is bad and it is of course very hot every day but also windy, so at the beach it is ok.

Great place to relax. Quiet and only once per day someone talked to us. Nothing else to add, just that it is a bit difficult to get a good or any phone signal.
In the next town Devgad (15km away) are several small shops and vegetable sellers. At the HP gas station we also filled up water (Not filtered, black pipe on the right wall)

Huge red soil area. Great bush feel. Wild camp and flies for free. No amenities. No National Park. No no signs. Entrance from the A20 southern rest area in Victoria. Traffic noise: Depends how far you go in. At night hardly no traffic on the main road. No need for ground clearance. Maybe it gets boggy when wett or soft after long draught I don't know. Area is the backyard of the rest area so it is pretty easy to check it out by foot when y're not sure what to expect.

Paid 5000 pesos for 2 people plus mini van. Cash pesos only, they didn’t want USD. Good site with clean toilet and shower block. Short walk to Center of town, individual sites have electric power points for charging and a light plus table and bbq . Friendly cats.

they try to scam you if you don't stand your ground. they asked 160 in the beginning, then a 100 and we gave them 50, saying how we know that they try to rip off tourists that comes through here. Then it started moving. but they were not willing to give any receipt.

Nice, clean and Well maintained Hotel in a quite middlestand housing area of Mbeya. European standards. Very friendly and helpful staff. Depending on the platform it's about 20$/night for two and including breakfast.

As per descriptions of previous visitors. Campsites have green grass. electricity (if no loadshedding) and water. Basic, but clean and pleasant. Would come again. Price was R300 per campsite up to 4 people. R150 for every additional person.

Good place to sleep. Room for 2 for 500 birr.
Closed parking.

Moses and Mathew are really nice people!!!!
Maybe the most honest we knew in Tanzania.
Friendly and helpfull.
The place is wonderfull.
One of our top 3 in Tanzania.
Mathew came with us to the headquarters of Kitulo NP in our truck and helped us to get a good discount.
Not to be missed!!!

Very corrupt police!!!!
After arriving from Mfumbi by the very steepy and narrow road (our truck is 2,55 cm wide) I was not using my seatbelt… we were driving at less than 10km/h!
He wanted to fine me with 30.000 tzs.
As I wanted a receipt it was reduced to 10.000 tzs.
I paid the bribe… unfortenately he had the reason.

Very nice people in Kitulo headquarters in Matamba.

Please talk to Susan and pay your fee there and not in the gate.

For sure she is going to find the best solution for you.

We were not sure to visit and she and the manager (do not remember her name) were extremetely friendly and made everything possible to visit the park.

We slept here for a night.

Basic campsite but here alone with the sunset was really nice!

Nice camp. You get your own banda with kitchen and water. Ablution is clean with hot shower. There is a pool and lots of possibilities to relax. Big bar and restaurant with nice food. Friendly staf. 1000ksh pppn

Price is still the same, you only pay once for entrance, check the campsite for more reviews. Only place in Uganda to see White Rhino (as been told).

When going downhill, official Road Toll.

200 kwanza with receipt.
(2WD VW camper van)

All as described before. Deo rised the price again and charged us 100k UGX pp. We tried to negotiate as we knew the price other people paid who went with him just two weeks earlier. No success, but keep trying to negotiate.
Seeing the chimpanzee in the forest was worth the money anyway.

The beginning of the track for the famous village at the well 45m deep. Take it during 1km. Easy acces.

Fancy Lodge with several swimming pools (indoor and outdoor, one of them heated), mini-golf, playground, Beachvolleyball net, bar, restaurant and a Kiosk.

Lots of campsites beautifully located along the Olifants River. Geese will visit you at camp. Very peaceful. Lots of shade and beautiful grassy sites. Electricity at the sites, braai stands at every site. Wifi only at the reception area. Ablution blocks clean and water pressure strong. Water hot.

Popular among locals so it could get busy during the weekend (we were here from TUES until THUR and loved our stay).

440 for two people per night.

great place for food and really great prices. Empanadas between 1'500clp and 2'500clp. They have a great vararity of sweets and cakes. Coffee is 1'000clp but it's Nescafe. Also they have desayuno with eggs and you can choose the topping (3'500-4'500clp). Pizza slices for 2'500clp. Downside: there is only outside seating available.

A nice place 25 mins outside Kigali. It's a leisure club with horse riding, donkeys, zipping and other activities. A nice bar and restaurant area and clean and smart toilets with a shower room. We chose to park down the bottom of the area as it was nice and flat and private, a bit of a walk back to the toilets and showers but good for us! You can hike around Kigali mountain. The staff were all really welcoming and friendly, we had a huge firepit made for us in the evening and a very peaceful night. I enjoyed watching people having riding lessons during the day too. Great views down from the mountain. 10 USD pppn. We will stay again on our way back out of Rwanda

we do not recommend...
way too expensive for the service. It was not clean at all : a big spider and a big cockroach all dead in the bathtub, no water (+ the washbasin was broken) we had a little bucket with two big buckets full of water which had been there maybe for weeks with particles in)
The only good things were that the sheets were clean, and the two ladies were quite nice.
But the diner we had at the restaurant was not good (50 000 GNF per person for a piece of bad chicken carcass, and some fried "allocos" with onions, + the water, juice quite expensive too) and for the breakfast, 40 000 GNF per person for some (quite good) omelette and some bread. So not really a hearty breakfast.
The AC also didn't work and all we had was a fan. One only plug to charge your phone and devices. No electricity or light, we had to ask and the ladies called an electrician, but there wasnt any light in the bathroom.
For all that (night+diner+breakfast+drinks) we had to pay 430 000 GNF (around 61€) it's WAY TOO EXPENSIVE.......... we absolutely don't recommend.
We had friends who camped at the Mission Catholic, it was way cheaper

The Debit Card did not work here only the Master Credit Card. Fee 5'500clp.

Parking derrière le magasin protège du bruit de la circulation.
Attention aux grands véhicules, nous avons accroché notre attelage (voiture tractée) à l’entrée gauche devant le restaurant : grand dévers pour accéder au parking, prêter l’accès par la route de derrière.
Pas de chance pour nous ce soir là nettoyage au jet sous pression avec générateur des trottoirs à l’arrière du restaurant de 21-22h !
Beaucoup de mouvements (passage de véhicules) la nuit. Nuit avons été sollicités par un client du motel derrière le restaurant qui nous a demandé de quoi manger pour sa femme. Il était 20:45 ???
Passage d’une voiture de police le matin. RAS
déçus par cette nouvelle expérience à Cracker Barrel on pensait être plus tranquil les que sur le pk Walmart voisin.

The best camping around. Dudu's Camping is prepared to receive motorhomes, vans, cars with a roof tent, and tents. It has a secure and large grass area to rest near the sea. In the camping, there are also three comfortable bedrooms to rent in case you need them (double or twin beds to accommodate 2/3 pax each), showers with hot water, a laundry room (with a laundry machine), a fully equipped kitchen, and a hall with a pool table.
It provides wifi connection, running water, and electricity (also for motorhomes).
Near there you will find two supermarkets, and different stores to buy everything you might need. Dudu and Andreza, the owners, are really friendly and helpful, and the best thing is that they live there so they can solve any problem with your stay.

5000 p per person, cold water, picnic area, toilets, not so quiet.

Nous nous sommes arrêter pour la nuit, ils nous demandaient 35$ par vr ( nous étions 2 familles), pas possible de négocier. Nous ne sommes pas resté, nous sommes allé au spot " playa El Esteron" qui était superbe et gratuit !!!

We stopped for the night, they asked us $35 per RV (we were 2 families), not possible to negotiate. We didn't stay, we went to the "El. Pelicanos" spot which was superb and free!!!

We arrived at 9:15 am and pay 90000 p for 2 persons. It is fantasic, but no shower after the visit. At 2pm More and more people are comming

the car park next to the el calafate sign is authorized for parking motorhomes and caravans only during the day. overnight parking is prohibited. there are two signs at the entrance which authorize parking for motorhomes and caravans but do not specify that it is only during the day. we had a quiet night there, but the second night the police asked us to leave and park at the bus terminal.

le parking à côté du panneau el calafate est autorisé pour le stationnement de camping car et caravane seulement de jour. la nuit le stationnement est interdit. il y a deux panneaux à l’entrée qui autorise le stationnement pour camping car et caravane mais ne précise pas que c’est seulement de jour. nous avons passé une nuit tranquille là, mais la seconde nuit la police nous a demandé de partir et de stationner au terminal des bus.
