Check-Ins

Fuel station, small shops and restaurant (big plate of rice with chicken for 4 people cost 50 rials)

On this road you can make a circle from La Higuera back to the road nbr. 38.
The views are great and the road is ok to drive.
If you stay in the Casa del Telegrafista in La Higuera ask the owner for a route description as only OSM maps show this route

Excelente. Super seguro. Comida boa e preço justo, Wi-Fi free, ducha e sanitários. Top

A few local visiting in the evening, but quiet and private through the night… Just what we needed

Still here payment by card okay.
They olso have a tap water but very slow.

Has everything we need ten minutes from center

Many RV’s here. Security asked just us to move. They pointed us at the road behind the parking. Good night and no problems at all. Great wifi reception

Very quiet little embassy right next to a restaurant on the corner. We parked opposite the restaurant as instructed by the friendly security guard based in a little hut outside. He then rings you in. There is a window in the far right corner of a small courtyard with a table and chairs in front. The visa sorted through this window.

The prices are:
56,000 CFA - 15 days
70,000 CFA - 1 month
105,000 CFA - 3 month
140,000 CFA - 6 month

Cash only

Plus an extra 10,000 CFA for same day service. We paid for same-day and were seen at 10:30, but had to return at 5:30pm. At time of collection we were told it was not possible to get the 15 day visa and had to pay for the 1 month option. Since we have no choice and needed to head off to Benin the next day we agreed and were able to still get our visa. The staff were all very friendly and polite about it all, with some English spoken.

The visa is dated from your expected entry date as you put down on the application form they provide.

All very easy and friendly, and although no hotel booking we wrote the name and town of one we found on ioverlander, and the lady seemed happy.

Drove in around 5:30 pm on a Wednesday; lots of permanent looking dwellers towards the front along the river. I kept driving towards the back and found a level spot adjacent the main road. As it got dark, the traffic driving by stopped and was very quiet at night. As others have mentioned, very strong LTE (Verizon) and a well paved road winding thru the area.

Nice spot with the occasional car driving past but it settled down after around 10pm.
Curious but suspicious cows nearby

Forgot to note... lots of space at entrance to the road, easy turn-around for large vehicles. Little traffic so minimal road noise. ATT signal poor with 2 bars

Fuel station shell, we also got water here to fill our tank.

Petrol station. If there is no gas here check the nearby Agra store as they also sell petrol in the back.

Friendly staff. Apparently this insurance covers all African countries. We paid the same price for two months as the comment below.

We drove down this valley as far as we could and hiked to a lovely waterfall! It was beautiful (view of mountains and along a meandering river). From where we parked at the bridge the hike was about 6km roundtrip. There were signs for the hike as well. Lovely spot to camp in our van! We were across the valley from some locals and there were many locals picnicking along the river.

There's no electricity available. We stayed here a good place to stay and overnight.

super nice place, quiet and dark, easy to access, you even have a bit of Vodafone internet here. only bad thing is a trash around

Choppies supermarket. Relatively well supplied, even in vegetables. Meat seems to be average quality.
Liquors store next to it.

Endroit très tranquille. peu de bruit de la route 101.

Nice camp, but ...
The price is identical for all adults or young children, 220 pula per person per night
The manager remains inflexible on the rates, even if we stay several days and we are many!!!

Large grassy spot with tables, fire place, swings directly by the river. Didn’t camp here, but should be feasible for 1 night. No facilities.

We stayed one night and were awoken by loud music from the employees at 7am. The camping space is a dirt area at the very back. The 15amp sockets have electricity but need to be grounded.
There is a no dogs sign at the entrance but they said nothing about our visible dog so we kept him away from the pool area.

Endroit sympa pour passer la nuit avec une belle vue sur les montagnes justa avant la boutique d entree des salineras. C est le seul endroit ou dormir car on ne peut pas dormir dans le parc. Aucun service bonne reception telephone !

almost flat meadow, very nice views. virtually no passing traffic. Good 4g signal as well

long grassy sward, large flat area by side of road but shielded by trees. Locals welcoming. Space for several vehicles. Big rigs would fit on here but very tricky to get them up the road to it so marked as no for them

Lugar tranquilo para ficar com o motorhome, ao lado do centro de turismo, com um grande estacionamento. Tem um ponto de energia escondido embaixo de um bloco de concreto, ao lado do prédio de turismo

The campground is fine but just be aware that the beach is very rocky and therefore not really useable, hence the low price. 30 minutes walk to Kai Beach ( Airforce campground ) which is an amazing sand beach. Best to stay at this campground for $31/nt. and have easy access top this incredible beach.

I called Bates Beach campground yesterday and was quoted $70/nt. for a spot. No thanks! : (

Still a good spot to pull over in a pinch, but not level and it’s immediately out front of a peacock farm. Not quiet.

Lugar super tranquilo durante a semana, e muito seguro.

Ao chegar, precisa falar com o gerente, ele vai dar as orientações e tirar foto do carro. Mas são super gente boa.

Tem banheiro com ducha caso precise, wi-fi, água e energia.

E tem mercado, farmácia e outras lojas por perto.
