Check-Ins

Another lovely night in this car park £3 donation

no potable water, but sani dump available

Very clean dump station at the end of the road on the cul de sac. Keyhole cul de sac for easy maneuvering, spigot to rinse dump pipes, excellent!

Very cool spot. Essentially can park right near the beach. Definitely a great spot to chill at for the day

La Casa Bonita is a lovely beach shack : cottage in the Akanda area of Libreville. It’s part of a National Park area.

Sleeps up to 6 people. 2 bedrooms. One sleeps two and the other 4
Lounge, kitchen and outside deck.

Right on the beach between two houses.

Self catering but has all you need in terms of utensils.

It’s a beach shack… it’s falling apart here and there, def needs some work but it’s charming and peaceful and you get to sleep to the sounds of the waves and thunderstorms.

Aircon and shower with warm water - make sure the guy buys electricity for the meter and that both water tanks are turned on!

The caretaker lives across the road and is always happy to help and the owner speaks English- we were in Touch with him via telephone.

We paid cfa 50000 per night for two people (so cfa 100000) in total. We stayed mid week - prices are more on the weekend.

Most restaurants around there are closed in the week so best to cook for yourself but there was a lovely beach restaurant that was open

You can take a nice long walk on the beach and there is also a forest walk close by with different lengths (can be found on google and IOverlander)

10/10 would recommend. $4 showers, free wi-fi, nice staff. Pagosa Springs rocks!

Great, new rest area with many vending options. AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile all had great signals and quick Internet. It's on the eastbound side with access lanes for westbound

Superbe spot sur un parking près de la route, commodités à côté. toilette, poubelle. Vue sur l'étang avec des marches à faire. Grand parc de jeux pour les enfants. Tables pour pique-niquer, les week-ends peut être à éviter car bruits musique avec sono, sinon tranquille.
Ps: très bon restaurant italien pas très loin

douches chaudes et gratuites à la station service

station récente et propre avec douches chaudes

In our opinion not worth the detour in this season as there is almost no water on the waterfall. And to sleep it’s very very hot, no wind and humide.
No phone signal

Free water with a hose as well as an air pump. Pumps like a house faucet so you'll be here awhile if you have a large tank.

Stopped here for water but saw someone get their propane filled. 3.69 a gallon.

Very nice cafe with sandwiches, cakes, coffee variatons. Order the small amount, it's already big! :D
Free & fast wifi, toilet, nice staff.
Recommended!

Beautiful camp spot right on the river with sand to lounge in. Came for 1 night and loved it so much we ended up staying 3. Keep this place clean!!

Big gas station. Quiet place to sleep. Clean bathrooms. Restaurant.
Estación de servicio grande. Lugar tranquilo para pasar la noche. Baños limpios. Restaurant.

Amazing ranch in the middle of the nature ! A lot of different private camping spots along the creek or close to pounds. They all have fire pit.

Reliable and trustworthy Mercedes/RAM/Fiat/Mitsubishi-Trucks dealer. Very nice and competent mechanics, who also spoke good english. We went there with our Fiat Ducato and they solved our problem right away.

Perfect view over the lake from this spot. Really
beautiful. We went here with an old sprinter sized 2WD van, but it was a bit challenging. The upper part of the road has some off camber turns and the lower part is a slope with loose rocks. Not terrible, but turning after you passed the helipad is not possible untill you’re all the way down. So depending on the weather conditions it might be good to check the track first. Easy peasy with 4WD I guess.

Very nice campground about 8 km of of the Trans Canada Highway in Maple Creek. $25 for unserviced site. The manager delivered us a fire pit. Wonderful free shower. Picnic table. Large site. There is a train nearby that makes some noise but we slept well here. Take highway 21 north off of Hwy 1.

If you drive up the meadow opposite to the first helipad, you will find a second (abandoned) helipad. It’s partially overgrown and marked closed with rocks, so maybe a better place for camping then the one marked here. Also: here are not visible from the track. Be aware that there are bears in the area, we saw tracks and a big shit.

Still nasty air in 2023, but lights almost everywhere and decent road. Only a bit wet in some places.

Duplex para 6 pax, Baño, cocina con horno, aire acondicionado, 2 hab. 1 mat y otra con 4 camas simples, terraza, parrillas, piscina, parque, quincho. Aceptamos mascotas.

Enjoyed the thali (selection of curries with rice, roti, desert and pickled veg). We are from the U.K. and dishes are different than what we are used to. Chicken tikka is very tomatoey for example. Nonetheless it was delicious and if you are vegetarian you’ll be spoilt for choice. Setting isn’t very nice. It’s cold as the doors are all open with live TV showing inside so better for a quick bite. We ate here twice and would recommend!

Stopped here for Fish & Chips and fish soup. It wasn’t the best but very good and excellent value for money. Only thing was the way the waiters ask for a tip … couldn’t have been any
More forceful and put us off coming back!

Ok for overlanders in a car but they don’t really carry lightweight stuff for bikers or cyclists so wasn’t really suitable for us. Their hammock for example was heavier than our tent 😬

This location is a downtown retail district- with a pedestrian mall. We could not find the shop.

large parking lot in front.
laundry included in the price.
free WIFI.
Big capacity.
1700 HUF for 11kg
paiment by card possible

On weekdays it is a super quiet place to sleep or spend the day. It has a water point and a snack bar. If the cafeteria is open, talk to the owners to inform them that you will be staying overnight, as they live locally and a strange vehicle can be scary. The view is beautiful, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Em dia de semana é um local super tranquilo para dormir ou passar o dia. Possui um ponto de água e uma lanchonete. Se a lanchonete estiver aberta, converse com os proprietários para informar que pernoitará, pois eles moram no local e um veículo estranho pode assustar. A vista é linda, principalmente ao amanhecer e por do sol

Here you can register yourself (OVIR) and get a GBAO permit.

Registration is mandatory if you stay longer then 10 working days in the country and travel visa free. First we went to a hotel (Green House Hostel) and pay $5 pp to use facilities and sleep in the van. They gave us a paper with their adress and a stamp that we took to the OVIR office.

At the office take the door on the right side (outside) and give the hotel paper and passports to the lady, ask for registration and GBAO permit. She’ll make the forms and you give those with your passport to the next office on the right side. Maybe they finish it straight away, or they’ll ask you to come back the next day.

We had to pay 220 somoni pp for registration and 50 somoni pp for the GBAO permit. Both are valid for a month after entering the country.

In the end you’ll have two little papers in your passport. One purple for registration and one yellow for GBAO.

You can take the purple paper to a simcard store to extend your simcard, otherwise it’ll stop working after 10 days.
