Check-Ins

Parking is still free, as well as the clean bathrooms. Nice and relaxed place to see the funny penguins, plus a lot of Dassie rats. You don't have to pay anything if you just want to hang out and walk the sea side. Lots of penguins everywhere and lots of beautiful tide pools !

Easiest vehicle access is from the obvious track from the south side, near the edge of the vineyards. There is also a rocky 4x4 track from the wild camping spot to the north listed on here.
If you park at the camping spot and walk up one track and down the other, then walk back along the road (or, even better, scramble along the bottom of the cliff :D ), it's a nice loop of a few km. A great place to stretch the legs.

Quiet and beautiful place on the beach. nobody around you. We had a lot of wind and the sand blows everywhere. Not a single shaded spot.

Um ótimo local para estacionar e pernoitar com o Motorhome, com vigia à noite, fornecimento de água e energia. Banheiros limpos.
No local tem o Restaurante do Giovanni,  Quiosque da CacauShou, um Hotel e o Restaurante Quinta 101, com lojas de frutas, bebidas e artesanato.
Uma grata surpresa na BR-101, no caminho Vitória-Porto Seguro.

An attraction in its own right! Beautiful, fun, empty and in good condition. For me, the nicest stretch of road in Namibia.

Encore une 2e nuit magnifique! Moins d achalandage pour la nuit du samedi au dimanche.

I've now stored my Land Cruiser here for the second time and a great secure place with excellent support, even with pickups and drop-offs to the airport or hotel.

Hans the owner has also helped with getting new Carbon Tax license and vehicle Insurance - always available and recommend 100%

This place is in wrong location - it is located at -15.75830, 29.29287

Room was infested withe bed bugs so I slept in tent inside the room instead, and could hear priest in the morning.

Got 16l in a jerry can for local price here. Although it was a bit weird because he wouldn’t talk to anyone, not even the locals there and only said “listo” after 16 liters in our 20 liter can. But we had no luck at the last 5 gas stations so not complaining

quiet night, didn’t see or hear anyone except some dogs. No amenities, but good cell service.

open. diesel available. cash or credit card. but for us, it was sunday and only cash, because no power ;-)

Automatic machine 24h
You can park right next to it. If you are coming from Mexico maybe will be something new (they have similar machines in Mexico but here are in this kind of big parking lot).
Price $1.5 for 5 gallon of water. Also you can get ice at the same machine.

Gravel parking lot in front of Ljam Nature Center! Women working there told us we could overnight here. Could easily camp here in tents as well!

all perfect ! Very attentive to all the manager. we will definitely be back. see you soon and thanks

we arrived late around 10pm on Saturday. The parking lot in front of the gun it was empty. Looked like nobody was at the gim although the gim was open. Very quiet we slept super good. In this area is plenty of light. We felt safe here, we think is a really good option for before or after the border.
PS: From the Mexican side we sleep in "Soto la marina" really good and safe gas station (Pemex) to stop. [ +/- 3h from the border ]

Nice place at the beach. Entry is narrow, because of the vegetation. Only few people walked by. You need 4x4 or sandladders to turn at the beach.
There are campsites just few hundred meters down the beach.

Stopped here after crossing the border on a Sunday afternoon. it was open and well stocked, prices compare with most supermarkets in East and Central Africa. A very nice local asked if he could buy our shopping on his visa swipe for USD cash. He gave us 2000 zim dollar to 1 USD, better than the bank rate and it was very smooth and easy.

Bon endroit pour passer la nuit apres un magnifique couche de soleil Se mettre a l ecart sur le petit chemin pour moins entendre le bruit des camions. Aucun service et un faible reseau tel avec Claro

Very Important!!! I hope the pin is right on place. But in case it's not. Also check the pics to fully understand. Also read the full description.
At this border 99% are Mexican residents in the states so they do not stop in the Mexican side!!! They go straight to the US!
So if you follow the line you will ended up in the US without cancel your tip and your immigration situation. (It happened already to others that's why I'm doing this fully details post)
When you start following the line follow the right line! After that you will cross an open gate very big so you will see it don't worry!
100m from that gate you will see a small cabin on your right and right before a street passing through. If you missed already that path don't worry just park right after the cabin.
Go to the cabin and wait that cabin is banjercito. They asked for the tip take some pics and gives you the confirmation. Your money in case you paid with card will be returned in 3or 4 days ( that what they said)
After that you just park after this cabin 10m away. An cross walking the street to the main building where immigration is.
Stamps in your passport and you are out of Mexico. Then you go to the line again. Paid the toll. And Enter in US.
For the states they have scanner for small cars and if you have a car more that 2.5m maybe they check inside.
Remember plants, veggies and meat are not allowed into US. We forgot some stuff and they took it. So be aware! For us they were very friendly in both sides!
The only thing is they have no traffic signs in the Mexican side showing were to go or stop if you are foreign and you need to do paperwork before leaving mexico.

Afghan-Pakistan border. As chaotic as you’d expect, very nice guys on both sides that will do everything for you, won’t cost you anything but time and patience They couldn’t stamp my carnet on entering Pakistan, they said they didn’t have the facilities, but you have to ask for the boss, someone there must know how to do it, because later I had to send my carnet back there for the stamp! Try this number for the guy in charge of customs if they won’t do it +92 333 8172933.
They let me ride to Quetta without an escort.

Quiet night. We rolled in after dark and found a level spot quickly. Got woken up but a helicopter early in the morning since it’s next to an airport.

It looks like a ton of mountain bike trail. Dogs on/off leash are permitted on the trails.

I walked my dog around the lot instead of the trail and without crossing the street got notified I was trespassing by a speaker from the buildings. I think that was due to my proximity to the buildings more than anything.

Muito bonito o lugar, a lagoa. o nascer do sol. Pegamos 15 pra entrar e depois de pedir descontos pagamos 40, 00 por motor home, porque estávamos em 2 mh . No mais estamos de acordo com o que os viajantes descrevem abaixo. Vale a pena vir conhecer mesmo com bom trajeto estrada de chão.

After a few minutes of Canejo, take a slightly sandy track and climb the hill and take the first right « road » At the end of the track you arrive facing the ocean, continue to the right and you find a flat spot facing a desert beach and its incredible cliffs. Alone in the world, just perfect. a bit of wind

Very simple, easy exit from Zambia. CPD stamped efficiently.

2.5 hours to cross border, busier but still an easy and good border crossing experience.
55 USD for GB visa. 30USD Road tax and carbon tax together. Comesa insurance accepted or 25 USD for 1 month if no comesa insurance.

Really good and one of the best options to rest before or after the border. We felt super safe! We didn't see the Marine houses though.... and is open 24h. Next to hotel.
The border is 3 hours maybe more depending on traffic.
Very friendly staff and super quiet for a gas station. We slept super good but we were very tired so .... They have bathrooms for free and showers. Very clean gas station overall. Close to the border we saw others but not as good.
PS: going north they have some check point from the police and military. So if you are in a rush keep that in mind !
