Check-Ins

kinda confusing to get in. there's a lot that is marked as free monday to Thursday... which is where we stayed. beyond that is a bigger lot that is labeled no overnight. lots are connected. lots are sloped. very noisy all night. easy walk to billy bobs and the stockyard area which was worth the trip. very poor wifi cellular on ATT and Verizon.

nice view from the bar, very shady campsite (no.2) 175 pppn

Doable in winter as well, though not plowed (have traction tires, 4WD, and/or chains). 3 day max. Bathrooms closed in winter.

Incroyable que ce n'était pas encore sur ioverlander. Nous sommes vraiment contents de l'avoir trouvé! Superbe cathédrale au toit blanc. C'est magnifique. Avec visite guidée en anglais ou espagnol, ou pas. 107 c par adulte et 36C par enfant.

Stunning cathedral with a white roof. That's wonderful. With guided tour in English or Spanish, or not. 107c per adult and 36C per child. Amazing that it wasn't on ioverlander yet. We are really happy to have found it.

The mission is now the high school area and direct after the buildings close to the football feld is a good place for overnight before or after border crossing. We ask the oldest teacher John for a permission. All overlander are welcome. Econet is working.

Parking lot and street parking next to tennis courts and Jacksonville Beach. Lots of parking spaces for class B or a super compact C (which we are in). No “no overnight parking signs.” Called police station and they said we could overnight “as long as you’re legally parked.” Quiet, strong 5G, trash cans, & dog friendly beach.

Nice place, well maintained. Good Restaurant.

Most places are a little short for a big rig.
Very good MTN 4G Signal, very weak 3G Vodacom.

Beautiful spot! It’s not a very large spot and is just off the road, but mostly quiet and with amazing views all around. If you go past this spot there were some huge puddles that we didn’t want to risk going through with our 2WD van so we stayed here. Great Verizon reception too!

The road is closed juste before Al Marameh coming from the west. It has been destroyed by a flood. But it is possible to cross it with 4 wheel drive or bicycle if you hike in the river (40 cm). Not possible with a normal car

This is definitely a popular trucker spot. I parked in the back with about 60 other semis. Coming and going and idling engines make earplugs a must. Otherwise a good/safe spot.

This is now a pedestrian bridge and is blocked off. Unfortunately, google maps hasn’t learned that and tried to send us across it.

Hiper Patagónico is the closest you’re going to get to a real hipermercado. It’s a good size, but not a real hipermercado. You should find pretty much anything you need. The parking lot is a good size and will fit big rigs.

15k (and initially he wanted 20k) for a double room with no hot water, no water pressure, AC broken, replacement fan had the wrong plug for the socket, nothing worked properly, and in the morning there was no power or water. Staff are unhelpful. The nice lakeside setting is now taken up with a water treatment plant under construction. I suspect there are much better places to stay in Karonga.

Excelente parada para motorhomes. Não passamos a noite, mas paramos para fazer um café da manhã, tomamos banho (gratuitos e banheiros limpos), enchemos nossa garrafa de água e há espaço de sobra para dormir, pareceu ser seguro. Além disso há um restaurante onde a comida estava cheirando muito bem!

Highly recommend this place. We had lunch here. Very good pizza and the chicken burger was also delicious.
Not as expensive as the other touristic restaurants in town. Pizza was 7USD, Burger 6USD.
Paying by card is possible and the exchange rate was good.

Parador sobre la ruta a unos metros de la entrada de Villa El Chocon, con sombra y reparo. Tienen baños abiertos hasta las 23hs.
Super tranquilo para dormir.

Restaurant, coffee, snacks and camping. Very friendly guy.

New restaurant that has coffee (French press), snacks, meals and also offers camping. Very friendly guy, trying to improve his business.

Very calm, we did not hear the fishermen in the morning, at 7 am they were already there. They are very friendly! The spot is not very beautiful now everything has burned I added a photo.

Beautiful campground not far from Windhoek. We paid 150pppn. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Owners are incredibly nice and helpful. Even a pool available.

Would definitely recommend this place!

Local tranquilo, sem comércio próximo, salvo um restaurante. O centro comercial fica a uns 2 quilômetros.

A nice quiet place to sleep. We stayed one night and had no issues. One other van was here as well. There was a cop parked on the other side of the mall parking lot but they didn't do anything.

Stayed one night in our Class B with no issues. Huge retail area with gas, food and groceries. Can seem a little busy with traffic but not terrible. Good cell service

Great view, clean toilets and showers (very tight though) Family who runs the place (restaurant and campsite/ cabanas) not very friendly or welcoming.
Can be very muddy when rains. We got stuck and besides the parking guy (who we asked to help) nobody came out to help.
Paid 25.000 for 2 persons and the van.

Yum! Had a melty cheesy sandwich, tres leches and another little desert and everything was great and super quick! Perfect lunch stop!

We just had lunch here but it would be a good overnight stop also unless the wind blows very hard. Beautiful views. About 100m off the road and parked behind trees so not visible from the road. I’m sure it’s quiet at night as this is not a busy road at night.. just check for wind conditions

Here we found a better service and a better price for issuing our dog's health certificate! Doctor Maria Juliana, in addition to being very competent, is also very kind and patient she helped us to understand all the procedures to travel to Panama with our dog, which is a bit complicated! Especially regarding the dates since in Colombia the certificate can not be issued before 5 days of the travel date!

It was COP 150.000 for the consult

We pay for lavado auto servicio and put in the car for use. Se the imagens to understand. 1.700 pesos. +/- 100 litros. The labors said not problem. Press the option 5 Nós paramos no auto service de lavar carro, mas não vamos. Usamos a água para encher um pouco nossa caixa d’água. O pessoal do posto disse que não tinha problema.

Scattered section with lots of deep potholes. You can drive it but expect average speed to drop. Some sections are freshly fixed but the the pothole party starts again suddenly. Be careful.

Cheap and quality gas belongs to the natives it seems. PrePay cash inside and they give u some discount. I didn't expect it but it just happened. They got a marketplace as well. Cool people.
Would love to support them again.
