Alveto Expedition | This place was recommended by another overlander, but we didn't expect to find an aerospace graduated engineer working here. He is specialised in metal welding, steel, aluminium, iron, you name it. The job was done like he worked on his own vehicle, i am a mechanic myself and i recognised the professionalism of Husama, you will not find a better welder in the whole of Cairo if not Egypt. Highly recommended and very honest prices. His WhatsApp +20 100 413 6702 . At the same place there is a body repair shop and also a general mechanic, they were currently modifying a G-wagon literally separated from the chassis, and the owner designs accessories for 4x4. You will not be disappointed. |

alanhusgen | Campsite has been taken over by the Mbotyi River Lodge. Grass is cut and sites are clean with electricity, light and water. Amenities are functional and clean. Would visit again. Restaurant at Lodge can be used. Lodge also has a bar and WiFi. Cost was R150 pppn. Can be noisy at night with neighbouring locals. |

AlmaVet_movil | Dormimos una noche aquĂ, aunque llovĂa mucho la ruta para llegar es practicable en motorhome. Y aunque no estamos tan lejos de la ruta, no se escucha a penas los autos pasar. |
Batalla de Aroma | -17.34326, -67.72022 | |
AlmaVet_movil | Dormimos una noche al lado de este camino. No llegamos al fondo del todo porque la ruta se pone un poco fea con rocas y además habĂan varios perros (nosotros andamos con uno). AsĂ que paramos un poco antes y pasamos una muy linda noche sin ningĂşn ruido. |

The Long Drive Home 2015 | Zambia to Tanzania. After reading previous enteries, I decided to get a fixer as it was already 2pm and we didn’t want to spend too long there. Process isn’t too complicated but I can see why without a fixer it can take long. Our fixer was Richard. Whatsapp No: +255 653 514 090. I found him to be decent & professional. Asked $20, agreed for $10. Stepwise
Richard came out with us to the market to help with simcards. Nice guy. Contact him if u need help. |

TheWhiteWhale | If you don’t care about sleep quality this is a great free camping spot. We thought it might not be so loud because it was Tuesday but there were several full moon raves that took place on the beach lasting until about 3 am. The loud music began at sunset. There is a surf wave right out front that’s pretty fun. The beach is gorgeous white sand and the sunrise was beautiful. Garbage cans and port-a-potties available. Easy access from the highway on both directions, located in the arroyo between two resorts. We had also checked out the playa palmilla but my MIL needed to sleep in a tent and it seemed like a place where you needed to be a bit more stealth. It might be a bit quieter over there but there is a restaurant and it’s easy access to the beach so it could also be loud |

marc.saperavi | Not easy to find a decent wild camp in the area. From main road, we followed a small dirt track leading to some corn field. We kept going for 500 m, until the track is crossing another one. We stopped for the night about 30 m before the junction. No village around but we saw some locals walking in the distance, all friendly. We saw one motocycle. No one came to see us. Very peaceful and fresh night (1600 m of elevation). Not sure big rigs can make it, track is narrow, but you can try.

marc.saperavi | The road is blocked here. The deviation is a bad piste that will join main road again in Catata. But main road is still a bad dirt track until Cusse (-13.514317, 15.19481).

saramaynadeau | We were unsure about this place at the beginning, it’s decently busy and noisy. We spoke to the security guards and they seemed nice and said it was safe. We had dinner at the Sarita and parked just outside. It was a fine night and not noisy by 10pm. Good place if you run out of light and want to cross the border. |

hourlesslife.com | Spent one night here. There was only one place they offered us to park and we needed leveling blocks. Hard to imagine a rig larger than ours fitting (we have a Jeep Gladiator). Paid 38,400 for two adults, no charge for our son. Used the kitchen to wash dishes. Bathrooms were fairly clean (hard to keep the floors clean because it was raining). The shower we used was lukewarm, not hot, but we didn’t try the second shower. Caspian enjoyed the hammocks on the lawn. Lots of covered seating, though it was busy and most people were smoking. Free coffee in the morning. All in all, okay for a short stay. But without more room to spread out, I don’t think we’d stay longer. |

steinzeitreise | Still as described. Friendly policeman allowed us to sleep in front of the fence and promised to watch over us overnight. You can probably use the sanitary facilities for 5 pesos (we didn't use them). |

axelflodin | down the path on the northern part of the mirror you'll find a few decently large spaces for tents, but only a few that are garbage/toilet paper free. the clean places are actually pretty decent camp spots and as a happy surprise the ground/air here is minimally affected by the heavy most that was here during the day i slept here. |

patreon.com | We loved the museum and the Archeological site. Most signs are in English and Spanish in the museum. We would recommend at least an hour at the museum and 1.5 hours at the site. Tours leave the site every hour. Last tour start at 15h05. |
