Check-Ins

Very helpful, we wrote on WhatsApp and she mentioned that she can send an agent to the Victoria Falls border to get the insurance there directly. We didn’t have internet over the weekend so it didn’t work out, but we managed to leave the border without insurance and came here directly afterwards. We got local Zambian insurance and a Comesa yellow card for 1208 Kwacha valid for a month.

From Estancia Cerro Guido, stay on Road 9. You'll have an alternative trail crossing río las Chinas on your right (just for you to get water). Keep going on the 9 until the entrance of the previous spot and cross the "cattle bridge". You'll have to go up on a steep hill. When it seems to be flat again, before crossing a water evacuation, turn on you right on a grassy flat trail and keep going to stay between the piles of rocks.
Flat, clean (keep it this way) and good view on the sierra, el Cerro de la Virgen and the valley.
I guess you can find wind shelter between the piles of rocks and the bushes. We didn't need it in the evening but it was windier the next day. We had 2 cars passing on the (invisible) road around 7PM and then we were absolutely alone until 10AM (2 more cars). It is a bit rocky so we don't know if it would be confy enough for tents.

Nice place, friendly volunteers to walk you around, and a great opportunity to see puma and jaguars from close by.

Roof tent camping in the shade over looking the lagoon. Very friendly hosts and staff. Outdoor loo and shower and very clean. 20 min walk to the ocean . Very quiet and peaceful. 500 Mets ppn.

Mechanic specialized in diesel car/truck , injectors, diesel pump, turbo… their core business is mainly injectors and diesel motor but they can help with other stuff as well. If you have a sensitive issue with your diesel engine that’s the place.

South side - faded sign which we missed initially.

A quiet place at the end of the village nearby cemetery. 4G/H+ mobile network. No facilities. Place for 1-2 campers or one big rig. Use this place if you have WC on board only! The entry to the Quebrada de Las Señoritas is in approx 800m distance, very nice.

A campsite by the road. Has a shelter you can sleep in, fireplace, benches and some firewood. There is a dry toilet in the back.

Great place for the night. Amazing view at sunrise and sunset. It costs us 200 pesos (12$) to stay for the night and we got our own area and papala. We car camped and it was awesome. Everyone was very sweet and the restaurant had great food. Would highly recommend! Bring lots of sunscreen and bug spray.

Parked overnight with a couple other cars that were gathered in a darker section of the parking lot. Slept all night without issue.

dinosaur footprints. we went down with our 4x4 truck beyond the footprint parking lot to find out on iOverlander. At the end of the path there is space to park and turn around. the path is very narrow and rocky. from there it takes about 15 minutes to walk to reach the dinosaur footprints which are behind the mountain which you have to go around. there was a Bolivian there who asked us for 20 bowls per adult and explained the traces a little. there is a line of footprints of a large 4-legged herbivore and a line of footprints of a 2-legged carnivore.

empreintes de dinosaures. nous sommes descendu avec notre camion 4x4 au delà du parking des empreintes renseigner sur iOverlander. au bout du chemin il y a de la place pour stationner et faire demi-tour. le chemin est très étroit et rocailleux. depuis là il faut compter environ 15 minutes de marche pour rejoindre les empreintes de dinosaures qui sont derrière la montagne qu’il faut contourner. il y avait un bolivien sur place qui nous a demandé 20 bols par adulte et nous a un peu expliqué les traces. il y a une ligne d’empreintes d’un gros herbivore à 4 pattes et une ligne d’empreintes d’un carnivore sur 2 pattes.

Nice campground right on the river with nice walking paths. It was not very busy when we were there so we had open spaces on both sides of us but the spaces had 15-30 feet between them depending on the spot. It was $37 a night but also had a vehicle fee of $10 so $47 total. Very convenient off the highway with not too much noise (we were in one of the furthest spots from the road). Showers were free and there was a potable water pump.

Really new clean hostel. 30 Soles in 8 Bed dorm. Hot shower, kitchen and nice owner. Small breakfast included. Bicycle and moto friendly.

Just wanted to see drivers passport ant TIP

Stunning area. Backed into the spot with back doors at fire pit and river. This is definitely the type of area that poets would go to to get their inspiration. Full moon rising right above the creek. Absolutely stunning place to spend earth day at :)

Large stationnement sous les arbres, suffisamment large pour 3 vr. Pas de panneau interdissent le stationnement de nuit.

The parking lot is quiet - but lots of highway and train noise. Park at outer edge of lot, and remember to keep it clean. Stayed 1 night with no issues.

beautiful place from this point more 250 metros... there is a bridge and 2 laders. place no suitable to disable person. free

Lovely and just off the road yet secluded on a lake. When you pull off the forestry Road, take a right at the first Fork.

As described, cute spot by the quiet lake, even though the road can be noisy. A bit of garbage and dumpage lying around sadly (old engine, mattress near the forest...). Good for one night. We were alone at this time of year.

Beautiful view of the ocean, the sunset and sand dunes below. There’s a path to the north of the parking area that leads down to the dunes which I recommend checking out. There are public restrooms in the Lighthouse museum nearby, but they have limited hours. There is a nice restroom with flush toilets near the lake on the way in/out to the lighthouse. The restroom doors lock at dusk, not sure when they open, but they were open at 8:30 am. This is the best spot I have stayed so far! Highly recommend.

what an exquisite place to be! not a single soul for miles. I had this beautiful place all to myself all day and night. incredible views, lots of peace and quiet, and as a solo female traveler I felt very safe here. there was some trash, I did pick it up, so if you end up here, just pay it forward and take everything with you.:)

If you have a tour with theme you can sleepover night. It's not free it'is 30 CAD. But still cheaper than some oder camping. We stay after the tour. I guess you can stay before and after.

From this point, you can continue the trail to get closer to the dinosaur footprints. there is a first large area to park before starting the descent. the track which then descends towards the tracks is bad, narrow and rocky but it is possible to continue further to get closer to the tracks. at the end of this track you arrive in a house plot where you can park (the owner asked us for 20 bols, we spent the night there). It then only remains 15 minutes on foot to reach the dinosaur tracks.

à partir de ce point, vous pouvez poursuivre la piste pour vous rapprocher des empreintes de dinosaures. il y a une première grande zone pour se garer avent d’amorcer la descente. la piste qui descend ensuite vers les traces est mauvaise, étroite et rocailleuse mais il est possible de poursuivre encore pour se rapprocher des traces. au bout de cette piste vous arrivez dans un terrain de maison ou vous pourrez vous garer ( le propriétaire nous a demandé 20 bols, nous y avons passé la nuit). il ne reste ensuite que 15 petites minutes à pied pour atteindre les traces de dinosaures.

Perfect spot, very quiet !
We spent 3 nights there, and we saw only some fishermen. We asked them about overcamp on this place and they said it was ok because it's not a private place !
There are two entrance, one is better for 2wd !

Pools are great. WiFi fast. Dogs barked a lot at night and one dog is quite unfriendly. Be careful. Surrounding nature is amazing. 15.-$

I stayed at Lowe's parking lot without any problem.

Reservé una habitación en este hotel a través de una página web y pagué $50. Sin embargo, al llegar al hotel, me sorprendió que al preguntar el precio de un habitación me dijo 70$(antes de enseñarle la reserva).Además, durante el desayuno, solicité más pan y me cobraron $3 adicionales. A pesar de estos inconvenientes, debo destacar que la habitación estaba limpio y el personal era muy amable. Si tienes cara de Gringo, mucho cuidado!

We parked next to the toilets, only one is open but it was pretty clean. Still a lot of livestock around and they come with a bit of a smell. Used the water of the toilet sink to do the dishes and wouldn't say it looked potable! Felt safe to spend the night but nothing idyllic. Nice local experience.
