Check-Ins

Best petrol station we've seen since arriving in tajikistan. Had also 95er benzine.

Recht gut ausgestattetes Werkstattviertel

The location is for their Kawasaki Warehouse. Their main office is in Okinawa. I used them for shipping my LC to Vancouver in a 20’ container. They are very professional and extensively deal with shipping American POV’s belongings and cars back and forth from Japan to the US. Reach out to them on [email protected] or their phone 098-989-6817. They are American owned so no language barrier. Very responsive. Can recommend.

Fan room is 7000CFA now. No wifi. I didn’t stayed.

Amazing campsite; feels like wildcamping in the middle of the bush, but with facilities!
Very nice warm bucketshower, flush toilet, little shelter. As soon as it was dark, hundreds of buffalo and elephants came to the waterhole (hard to see but lots to hear). The caretaker keeps the place spotless. Highly recommended, very good alternative for the camsites in the park.
We arrived via the park, left the next morning in the direction of Gwai towards Matopos (no park fees this way).
USD 20pp, USD10pp for the kids + USD 5 pp conservation fees. Firewood was expensive; USD 5 for a very small bundle.

Work still ongoing, expected to open July-2024. Seemed like it will be pretty luxurious, looked very tasteful! Very friendly owner, will have a small museum as well. Lovely building and interesting sinkhole.

Now 60TL per person, but restoration has progressed and now has some old carpets shown in the building and a cafe (not open when we visited).

Free parking
Free and clean relative new hot shower
Free water
Good spot to stay for a night.

Small gravel lot at the end of a road. it's okay for one night and to do the Suspension bridge.

Best stone baked pizza and gelato in Freetown.

Open during the day selling many flavours of ice cream S 35 - M 60 - L 80, coffee and some pastries with outdoor seating.

At night they are selling the pizzas from 220 - around 300, along with some other Italian influenced meals but I didn't try so can't comment on them. Also good Caprihiña 90 Leones, this was the cheapest cocktail, beer 55.

They accept card & also have a small beach bar over the road.

Busy road junction due to Lumley market especially rush hour, there are police around supposed to be directing traffic but they don't do a great job at it.

You can avoid most of the traffic if you detour via "Benkole/Bendus drive" on maps.me

Very nice spot near the river, 2 km from the cheesemakery of Guefait you find the path. Quit, beautiful scenery.

This simple govt owned rest house is midway between Jenda and Muzuzu. It is officially closed at the moment for maintenance but the caretaker opened one room with a bed for me for 5,000 MK. Ideal for cyclists who are tired from a big uphill from Muzuzu.
Even though the place is closed, the caretaker will also allow to camp on the grass. Plenty of space. No running water in the toilet. But there is electricity for charging devices. No light bulbs working though.
Caretaker, whose name is Gift, made bonfire outside and also invited to use the wood stove to cook food. He speaks good English and is very helpful.

Nice place to beat the heat in Vegas and take dogs out for a run. Some shady trees to park under. One pit toilet. Picnic tables. Circular pull through road and plenty of parking for RV's and trailers.

Behind UNLV Sam Boyd Stadium.

Au bord d'un joli lac, très calme, place pour plusieurs véhicules. Parfait !

*Concerning the current visa situation in Togo*

As mentioned previously, they do no longer issue Visas on Arrival at the borders of Togo. At the border they told us that this was apparently to combat corruption.
However, it gets better. They also refused to issue visas at the embassy in Accra. We were told that the only possibility to obtain a visa for Togo is to apply online. Whether they will issue visas at the embassy again after some time was unclear.
So my recommendation to anyone that is under a bit of time pressure, try the e-visa.

A place facing the beach, a small hill of firm sand, a quiet and safe place to spend the night, the Juninho kiosk no longer exists. But there are inns and grocery stores nearby.

Lugar de frente para praia , um morrinho de areia firme, local tranquilo e seguro para pernoitar , não existe mais o quiosque do Juninho. Mas tem pousadas e mercearia próximo

Ótimo local para passar o dia e tbm pernoitar !

Wonderful spot on a green hill. Near a unknown regional parc just under Metz. Big places to parc your vehicle, 4x4, camper or bike. Some hikers and mountainbikers. Very quiet atmosphere.

Drove past but didn’t stay. Spot is open, nobody was parked there today.

Came here cycling, 2 persons. 35K for two persons for one night.
Water not as hot as expected, wifi, bikes inside the room.
Good for one night.

water was still there, attachments if you want to hook a hose too.

good spot

Beautiful spot, sunrise worthy. Def 4x4, narrow, low overhead clearance only. Less trash than on the other side of the lake. Full cell service.

bello y tranquilo lugar, pase un par de días, me sentí segura y se duerme riquísimo. Cero ruidos.

it is now a Hyunday place where they do body work. no more garage here

Beautiful place to stay. Only 2 other rigs stayed the night while I was here. A few cars drove around the loop and left, and could hear the distant train, but it was a mostly quiet night. I didn’t go down into the dry lakebed as there was plenty of room on the shoulder.

Lovely sites many with shade. Friendly checkin attendant. Can drive around and pick the one you like best. Loop 3 seems furthest away from barking dogs and we could hardly hear them. However one of its spigots is broken.
A bonus is you can stroll over to Thunderbird Lodge and use their free WiFi and also cheap guest laundry next to room 70. 1.75 wash and 1:50 for 30 minutes dry. There’s also an all day cafeteria at the lodge if you need food.

$30 for electricity, $3 service fee on Lets Camp($69.02 altogether). Plenty of pitches, very few are level, most narrow and sloping in multiple directions. We booked for the hot showers and water, but toilets all locked up. Signs direct you to call golf club which are open until 8pm, called 4.45 and got no answer. Drove down there and it was closed. Charging points are quite far from the rv, so have to roll further downhill to reach them. Cancelled second night as we've had better free laybuys. Very disappointing, we were hoping for a gem like the one run by the community at Castlegar, but instead found a bit of broken glass. Positives, is the nice walk to Little Falls (has a large level parking area with turnaround). Water and hot showers may be on later in the year, but that doesn't help us now.

6000 for a single room.
The only downside is that the owner smokes inside the hotel, the smell comes into the room.

We stayed for 1 night and did the Tumeric course and both course and camping were amazing. The site is lovely, quiet and tidy with new toilet/shower/kitchen area in construction (showers and toilet completed). Visit the website for course/farm details.

The site is highly recommended and really fun and informative courses.

Super friendly staff also.
