Check-Ins

A very nice wild camp spot! There is a waterhole with many cows, goats, horses and dogs, but also wildebeests and antipope’s. Locals come here as well. We set up camp when it was dark as it is next to the road, as there are no cars passing these hours.

The next day we charged our electric car here with our 60m2 solar panels. So more than enough space for several cars.

nice campground with friendly staff. paid $39 after tax for a unserviced tent site. free wifi but didn’t reach the tent area which sucked. toilets and showers that are a bit dated but overall good stay.

We stayed at Tantebane again on our way back down. Still the same great people, awesome views and relaxed vibe. They have renovated the camp blocks and all sites now have solar lights inside te building. Most of the place is solar powered and it does not have a inverter but you can charge at the reception.

We will definitely visit again when we are back in Botswana.

Spent 3 nights here. We arrived late in the evening and neither other Campers nor staff were on site. We just sent a Whattsapp message and that was alright. They came the next day to collect the money.
They turned the hot water on for us.
Cost us 8000 Pesos (15,50€ Bluedollar) for three nights for two persons, and a Landcruiser.

We went in this direction but then decided to stay at the top. Instead of taking right to go down the hill we continued straight, passed some kind of abandoned houses and followed the path for a few hundred meters. We slept on the edge of a hill with a beautiful view around. You can see the spot and the path on Google maps : -11.378469, 13.808451 it’s flat, 2g reception, very quiet.

If you want to reach this place going north to south, don’t take the shortcut the gps wants you to take by Culango. It’s a dead end, we tried. After 10km it’s a moto track with lots of trees, we couldn’t pass with our defender. You need to take the road through Lobito :)

Going south the first kilometers are the « bad ones », going at 15km/h but nothing difficult, then it becomes bumpy and then it’s a good track until the tar road. It’s magnificent so you need to go this way for sure !

spend the last few nights here while working in Claremont (not through the weekend). lots if cars going up and down the road all times of the night and you can hear them. besides that it is a great spot for a night, no reception though.

Such a nice place ! 30km of track to go there, a bit bumpy but nothing difficult. Last 3G signal in the village of Equimina, after there is no more. The last 6km are steep and rocky at some points. Wouldn’t recommend with big rigs, we saw a truck that felt down while going up… no problem with 4x4. Once in the bay they moved some sand so at first it looks in maintenance. But it’s very beautiful. We parked on the right side of the bay, there is plenty of different spaces. Clear and calm water especially in the morning, could see some turtles in the water, Milky Way night ! So peaceful, we really loved it :)

Mario é um mecânico excelente, de grande experiência e profissionalismo. Me atendeu diante de uma urgência, em 1 dias, resolveu o problema da minha Ford Transit. O melhor mecânico da cidade e região.

Stayed here for 1 night. Powered sites, free hot showers and very friendly host. We had a quiet nights stay.

Looks as though all reservations have to be made online via letscamp so one to check before arriving here.

Super cool location! Directly at the beach and you have a surf school in front. Nice spot to go in the ocean. The facilities aren‘t so nice. You don‘t have any kitchen and the toiltes and showers are a bit dirty. But it‘s ok for one night. We payed COL 10.000 per night for 2 people in a rooftop tent.

Stayed one night. Quiet. No posted signs not to park. Signage says “No Trucks-No Buses”. Store open 7:00-23:00.

Buy $25 or more in gas or pay $10. xxxxx

Large turnout off the side of Rt. 89 on national forest land. Site was just uphill from a river so there was some minor noise from that. Minor road noise at night, and increased around 530 in the morning. Got to the area around 1230 am, and didn't feel like searching for an actual camp site off a forest road. No At&t service.

The Night is now 100 cedi for a car and two persons. Jasper and Mary are very friendly!

Exiting SA, Mata Mata into Namibia.

SA gate opened at 8am. No one else crossing and no waiting at all.

Immigration primary person super friendly. Required 3 addresses in Namibia during your stay.

Cross border Charge for Toyota hilux - (Type 2 vehicle) was NAD371 for 3 months, cash only, Rand Ok.

Police checked vehicle registration only - no vehicle search.

No carnet stamp available at border post but we were referred to Customs at Keetmanshoop (location per iOverlander).

Australian registered vehicle travelling on carnet, SA police at Twee Riverien insisted on stamping carnet out of SA even though we were remaining in SACU.

No problems having carnet stamped in Keetmanshoop.

many washing machines but only 1 small and 1 large is working. The same with the big dryers. 2 small machines and 2x drying costs about 14 US$. Washing time 28min 🫣

This area around the coast can be hectic in the towns. This spot is a nice oasis. No height restriction at all. Walked in space with the drive in gate closed at all times. Pool is nice and shaded lounge area with padded seating. The owner is very nice.

We slept 3 nights without problems. Near everything

Stunning spot! Beautiful water for swimming. Only a few first come spots - the sign says there is wifi to make a reservation booking but we couldn't get it working so just paid the cash.

Crossed the border by bicycle from Guatemala to Corozal. You can take a boat from Bethel allegedly to Corozal but it will be much more expensive. It cost me 20 Quetzales to cross from La Técnica to Corozal. I could also only pay for my tourist visa with card, not cash. On the Mexican side, there are some people who change money but not at the best rates. Seemed like a bank with an ATM was being built but not quite ready to give out cash

We had a wonderful stay at this place. We arrived spontaneously in the village and simply asked around to find the owner. He and his family were really nice. He even invited us for a chocolate drink and gave us mangos and bananas. He showed us the campspot and turned on the water for us. Beautiful spot on a grassy area and palapas in the nature, super calm. He organized a pick-up truck who drove us up to hike the volcano „Telica“ for USD 25.—
Really beautiful for sunset.

Just past municipal sewage works on the way to Agate Beach. Grass patch immediately after cultivated garden next to sewage works. We saw some springbok and about 30+ gemsbok grazing. They are not skittish at all.
Also on Agate beach road there is a large pond with hundreds of flamingoes.

Free Designated Dispursed Campsite on Yellow Gap Road just past the Wolf Ford Horse Camp. Metal fire ring, tent pad, and lantern hook.

Safe place to spend the night in La Paz. Has everything you may need and is close to the malecón with plenty of restaurants.

Was here on a weekday and was totally alone with the occasional walking duo coming off the trail. Had a fire ring and plenty of space. Beautiful scenery and lots of critters. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

As described, big camping ground. No running water. Access to the lake and nice walks around. Some spots do have lake views.

I was able to pick a high fence along a street close by to the exact marked spot here. No issues. Was able to check out this cute town in the evening before heading to the National Seashore the following morning.

A must go for overlanders ! The map sculpture is very nice and the costal drive is absolutly gorgeous ! Check out the tide pools in Struisbaii if its low tide and sunny, its a nice place for a stop !
