Directly at the lake with huge trees, no sign. Friendly cartaker woman opened a bungalow and we use the toilet and cold shower in the bungalow. Price negotiable we paid 10 000Tsh but she asked for 17000Tsh
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Camp is right on Lake Victoria. We got charged 15000 per person. Lots of locals around and children who sit close to the car and watch you the whole time. They open one of the rooms so you can use the bathroom. Good spot for a one night stop over
Report Check-Inbeautiful shaded campsite on the shores of lake victoria, under tall trees. Magnificent view and sunset.
Price 17000 tzs negotiated at 15000 tzs/pppn.
A beautiful camping are good for ground tents and RTT with shade, gravel and lawn just on the shores of lake Victoria. The caretaker goes out of her way and is very easy going. Possible to link up electricity with long cable, gives a key to a chalet for hot shower and toilet plus use if a covered are in case of rain. Basic but tranquil. Fishermen nearby. Phone connection for Internet hit and miss. 15 mins from western gate of Serengeti. Official price 17k P. P. P. N but negotiable. We ended staying for 3 nights
Report Check-InNice place right at the Lake with great views to Lake Victoria. Peaceful place, few fishermen around the day but no one bothered us. Friendly caretaker lady. We used a bungalow for toilet and cold shower. Negotiated 15000 Tsh/pppn, didn’t get a lower price than that, but it was OK. Maps.me will get you to the right place without any problems. Great place to chill out a few days after Serengeti. Quite windy, though, being right at the lake shore. But still a good value.
Report Check-InAgree that this is a lovely setting and a great spot for the sunset. No beach at present as the water level is high. Keep the bathroom locked and the key with you as day visitors will otherwise use the bathroom and pee everywhere but in the toilet..
A guy might try to sell you his 2 tortoises.
Nice stay directly at Lake Victoria, about 10mins from Ndabaka Gate and a few 100m away from a small village. Drive left after the last bridge (old sign there), otherwise you end up in the middle of the village just like we did. Friendly lady who speaks some English, price 17'000 TZS per person (we found that ok, given the location & closeness to Serengeti). Opened one of the new huts for toilet (western) and shower (cold). Stunning sunset and nice, relaxed and mostly quiet atmosphere. Children watching from the entrance to the place but not coming inside.
Report Check-InNice friendly local campsite. the bungalow for the shower was clean and working. Nice lakeview!
personally I think best place to go after serengeti
Lovely location by the lake. We are keen birdwatchers and I've never seen so many different species of birds in one place!
Toilet and shower in one of the rooms was very good and had hot water. Poor Vodacom signal. Not sure why but soooo many bugs around at night. Not a private campsite as locals use the place as access to the lake. Camping we paid Tsh15,000.
One of the most beautiful campsite we visited. Continue about 6km north from Ndabaka gate you will see the camp signpoint. You can connect to electricity in one of the rooms or in the seating area. Good Vodacom signal. shower and toilet in one of the rooms. Very welcome stuff.
Report Check-InLovely place. Friendly. Paid 17.000 adult and 5.000 for kids. Got to use the showers in a bungalow. Cooked ourselves. Lake is beautiful.
Report Check-InFriendly people, great place for the kids to explore. We were given a Banda to use the bathroom. Unfortunately, the beach has disappeared due to rising water levels. 17,000TZS for the adults, kids pay half.
Report Check-Innice shady campsite on the shore of the lake with wonderful sunset. very nice lady from the village taking care of it. good acces road 6 km from serengeti gate. ablution in one of the nearby cottages. 17000tzs.pp
Report Check-InWe like this place and camped for 2 days. The lady asked for 17000 Tsh but we negotiated to 10000Tsh. Great grassy camp site on the lake. Cold showers, but clean with sit down toilet. You use the toilets in one of the new cottages.
Report Check-InThe place is now officially run by some local guys. It looks nice and there are some newly built cottages at the beach.
We checked it out but didn’t feel the vibe and the price of $20pppn was a bit too much so we kept looking.
Good stopover if you’re on the way to Serengeti, 10 minutes from the gate.
Report Check-InNear to the lake Victoria, near a village. Very local. Tsh 15000 pp
