Check-Ins

Lugar, com ótimo estacionamento.
Praia de rio, mas uma costanera muito agradável, com vista da skyline de Posadas Argentina.
Bares e restaurantes, tranquilo e seguro.

Great access off 313, bumpy road to BLM land. Fire ring in place. Drove sprinter van into a flat area.

Very good camping, lawn facing the sea. daily rate of 60.00 per person + energy on the side. A little salty but worth it.

Camping muito bom, gramado de frente para o mar. diária de 60,00 por pessoa + energia por fora. meio salgado mas vale a pena.

It’s right off the highway, when it’s dark it’s easy to pass. But I had no issues finding a spot and resting.

Very clean. Nice pool. There is wifi at the check-in area for 3.00 USD for 7 days 2 gigs. But it only works in the check-in and pool area. Bathrooms and shower areas are clean with hot and cold water. There is electricity at each camp site. They also have Chalets, restaurant, bar, and a swimming pool.

Closed for the season when I arrived today.

Very clean and spacious rooms, nice bathroom. We negotiated 1200 R during off season. Restaurant is also very good, try the Chili Mushroom dish. No WiFi.

Flat spot hidden in trees, on left side of road if you’re going north. former road working site but seems unused now. Hidden from road, no people came by. There are many possible tent spots, just search around. We had a peaceful night here!

Such a nice place! Wonderful team, full of kindness and knowledge. There are 3 campsites for now and 3 safari tents. The ablutions are like new with hot water and lot of pressure. You have access to the deck where you can rest with a beautiful view or enjoy the fast wifi. Drinks and food available for a good rate and super tasty. Many hippos and elephants around + it’s a good starting point to go to Moremi :)

Luxuary wild camp ! You can find water & eletricity on the abandonned building. Quiet night

Simple rice and beans in white concrete block restaurant with curtain. “Mgahawa” is painted on the bricks outside, which means restaurant in Swahili. Right next to motorbike repair place. Super tasty, 2000 Tsh (Less than 1 USD) per plate as of 2023.

Defenitely worth a visit! Small but interesting park - we saw 7 Rhinos, Impalas, Zebras, Wildebeast, Ostriches with babys, wartdogs and much more. Tracks are sandy and a little bumpy but good to drive. We camped one night - good facilities with hot shower, braai area and water on all sites. Lots if birds. Paid P 574.70 for Entrance to park, 2 people, 1 car and 1 night camping. Recommended.

Lovely riverside camping (and few luxury houses).
500r per campsite (up to 6ppl)
As cyclists, we paid half price after the lady kindly called the manager.
Slow WiFi. No bar but a little shop with the basics.

We wanted to do the Bodomatau track but at this point even in dry season there was a deep water crossing. It was doable but really deep. The danger is that after that there was others more deep and long going north west ! We almost got stuck (water going half to the doors of our Land Rover). So be very careful if you go this way. The track to third bridge is way easier and safer. Nobody warned us at the gate.

Free WiFi for 30 Minutes with Botswana Hotspot. Speed ok for Whats App and Mails.

Detour is still accurate otherwise you have to cross the river and nobody do it it’s too deep.

Got tired around 2 am on a road trip and stumbled upon this rest area. Well lit, tons of parking. Felt safe.

Lot of grilled fish restaurants on the side of the road. Tested one it was delicious and cheap (2usd per fish). Nothing else than fish and rice though.

As described.
25usd not negotiable. AC, TV and cool shower. No wifi.
Plenty of rooms and space for parking.

Huge area (previously a touristic area?) with a (dry) lake and supposedly some crocodiles. We saw the old sign but no amphibians…
Plenty of spots to camp, with any kind of vehicle (we are cycling).
Beautiful sunset! Few groceries on the main road. Was very very quiet even though we were a Saturday night.

Crossing from Indo to Timor Leste by bicycle:

Indo side: we had our 60d eVisa printed and after a few minutes the officer stamped us out. No question or scanner.

Timor Leste side: as French we have 90 days visa free (most of European citizens also). Arrived at 12h (indo hour) so 13h Timor Leste hour, had just time to grab the 2 papers we needed to fill and they closed for 1h lunch break. We could wait inside with the AC. Then at 14h it re-opened. We left our bicycles outside and were stamped in. No questions asked neither scanner.

Found someone to change our Indonesian rupee to dollars. They use local coins up to 1 dollars then American dollars. Not so problematic for the quality of the note like in Cambodia.
Couldn’t find a SIM card nearby. We heard their is an ATM also. Haven’t used it but in case there is one 5km later in the little town.
Enjoy Timor Leste !!

The restrooms are right next to Awareness Gardens, just before Blackwater Creek reserve. they're outdoor yet clean and well maintained, and despite me arriving at 5am they appear to be open 24 hrs. There is also a small parking lot behind the church that appears to be a potential sleeping spot. You're surrounded by trees and hidden from the road, although a bigger rig would be more noticable.

decent spot, no facilities. few locals for sunset but nobody bothered me. was alone camping. dogs not aggressive.

station a fuir, l'opérateur est violent et irrespectueux

Your typical loves. Clean bathrooms, Felt safe. Get gas before you enter the city.

Still here. We were helped by 3 very kind women, one of them spoke great English. Paid 2 million rial for a sim card with 20 GB and unlimited calls/texts.

Probably the first tourist here but they were very very helpful. We were invited in the boss his office. When he found out our internet didn't work he bought us 10 GB without hasitating. After that he took us on a city tour and took us out to lunch. So a great first impression of Iranian hospitality on our second day in Iran. His English wasn't great but we were fine with a translate app.

We paid 16 million rial for 2 months for a Toyota Land Cruiser.

The water appears to still be shut down for winter, as are the bathrooms.

We paid twenty bucks for a Saturday night. The pool was great and the cold showers worked fine. But then the religious revival started playing noise passing for music at ear shattering decibels until mercifully the heavens open at eleven pm and rain stopped play.
Then at 5 am Sunday morning gunfire woke us out of a deep sleep. Followed immediately by 45 minutes of ear shattering noise passed off as music. Then silence.
Perhaps weekdays may not be as shattering to the nervous system but we’d have to be fools or totally desperate to risk it.
Your twenty bucks, your choice.

Nice place for a night. We arrived in the afternoon of a Saturday, there was quite some people but the parking lot is huge. The beach is okay but nothing spectacular in my opinion.
People coming and going all night, but no one bothered us. Lots of fishermen in the morning.
