Check-Ins

Excelente ponto de apoio, água, energia, lugar agradável para passar o dia com crianças e os donos muito prestativos.

Servem lanches e café da manhã.

Just to confirm with my own eyes, I came here on the Georgian side. There were trucks queued but no cars. I thought maybe there were exceptions to the closed border going east. Police on Georgia side said no cars come through.

Last info I saw was 1.7.24 as the supposed opening of the land borders.

nice little out of the way spot on the water

Nice hotel with a few flaws. Super comfortable bed and blankets. Hot water. Wifi. Parking lot. Breakfast included.

I paid CLP$25,000 for one person.

The wifi is not great in my room, but is excellent in the dining area. VERY hot water, but I found it difficult to control the temperature in the shower. There's a heater in the room, but it barely works. The wet socks I hung in front of the heat at night were still damp in the morning.

Not a bad place, considering prices in Chile.

Closes fairly early. I arrived at 7:30pm and they turned me away, saying they close at 8pm.

Beautiful campsite at the shore of the lake.
Very lovely staff.
Cold water shower only but with good pressure. Very clean ablutionblocks.
Ideal for visiting Great Zimbabwe Ruins.

Nice place to rest the night. We arrived late in the afternoon in front of a beer bar where an outlet is also located. We asked if we could stay and they said yes.

What a nice guided city tour with Gert. He knows a lot about La Paz and its history, he is flexible and a very friendly guide. We spent the whole day together and learned a lot. Great tour and also in German possible.

As described below, however the single is now 16,000kz. Parked inside compound with with fridge connected to the mains. This will also refresh the auxiliary battery.

Beautiful wooden lake house! We found this treasure on the booking site. It’s 40 minutes drive from El Encano and has stunning lake views.

left track seemed impossible with a 2wd even in dry conditions, right track has turned into a huge garbage pile. we didnt stay.

Nice place, calm, next to the rivers. Some shade. not suitable for big rigs. there is a nice restaurant nearby in the station (food until 5 pm, drinks until 7 pm). the Restaurant offers WiFi. no Signal apart from that. verhy humid and a vast variety of insects. a friend got bitten by a dog that ran by.

Large open field area next to the lake with loads of people fishing throughout the day. Accessible by Toyota Yaris or big rig, and anything between.

We were here Easter Weekend - Quiet at night, bit busy during the day. Signs say no camping, but locals say it's fine.

Lots of horses, cows, and a friendly white donkey - watch your step! Our dog loved it here.

Very steep dirt road to with generally good clearance to the park and also one 8 Ton bridge. All other bridges were 15 ton so we think this one was just not relabeled because it looks as sturdy as the others when we inspected underneath it. The road is too steep for 2WD. AWD could probably make it. There is an overhead pipe running across the road once nearer to park entrance but it has about 12 feet clearance At the road at park entrance is a big lot. We made it in our 10 ton truck with 11.5 feet height.

We have heard that the (British) owner of this place has not visited since COVID and it seems that in their absence things have fallen into disrepair. We pulled up intending to stay but everything about the place was grim. The toilets were filthy, there was no water and the camping area was overgrown. The staff were very friendly if a little disorganised. They suggested we stayed elsewhere and we did

Java House is an eatery with an assortment of Coffees, Pastries, and Junk foods. It’s a popular stop for travellers coming to Jinja, and heading to Kampala. It is located about 3-4km to the Source of the Nile.

Had a great night here. Typical Walmart parking lot. They want you to park on the outside perimeter so I parked by Panda Express. Very safe. There were a couple of other RVs here.

Its a little cabin in a family house that helps overlanders for a little place to park, sleep and shower.
dinning table, small fridge, tv, queen bed, toilet, hot water shower and a little nice garden. whatsapp 502 52014822

There are two parking lots for this Cracker Barrel. The one directly by the restaurant, and then one a little further up that says additional parking which has lots of great flat space for parking your RV. A good Cracker Barrel night. Some road noise from the nearby highway, but overall a good place to Lay your head

This whole area was recently redone. Campsites are well marked and spaced apart and some have small makeshift fire rings. 3 bars of Verizon at the south end, 1-2 bars at the north end. Trees are small, but plentiful, perfect for Starlink service. Access road can be slick and rutted in the winter. Campsites can easily accommodate 35’ trailers and large RVs. Very clean so pack it out and keep it that way. Awesome views and best of all it’s FREE.

SA -> Botswana

Easy and friendy border crossing. However, there no customs on SA side to stamp out the Carnet. In the end, the police lady kindly stamped it out for me, but I wouldn't take that for granted. I don't know about customs on Botswana side (I didn't stamp in my Carnet). On Botswana side, 390 pula road taxes for a motorcycle (card payment possible).

The last ~110km road from SA side are gravel. The first ~70km of that in average condition, then the condition gets a bit worse (corrugated and sandy sections). Good tarmac road on Botswana side.

There is mud here, we passed after rain so it was really muddy.
It’s doable with a 4x4 and if it’s dry with a 2WD.
Locals passed on left side ( on the grass), you will see cars tracks for all types of vehicules : no issues.

This Eco Lodge has been built in a 300 year old castle, peacefully located next to a Palm grove. The hotel has been restored with a lot of love and attention to detail for 11 years by its owner Mohsen. He's also an experienced traveller and offers cyclists to stay for free and provides discounts to all overlanders. It's a great place to visit and one can go to the spectacular Caracal desert from here.

New fast standalone water and ice kiosk. Water 35¢ per gallon, cash or credit card.

We slept one night here, peaceful and secure, with a lot of business nearby.

Dormimos uma noite aqui, foi bem tranquilo. Na região tem bastante comercio.

New Maverick gas station with year round Sani dump

next to the river, close to some cement seats. beautiful quiet place.
in the morning lady came told us we couldn't park that close to the river, but was ok for the night

Camped in our car tent here, 8000pp and 5000 for the car and 10% discount by cash. Nice place but felt like a second class citizen compared to the hostel. Would stay elsewhere or in hostel next time.

it si a Nice place a and very quiet, near to the square, we sleped a night on Motorhome . near us other Motorhome were.

dormimos una noche en Motorhome, al lado de la plaza. muy tranquilo y silencioso lugar. cerca nuestro pasó la noche otra casa rodante.
