Check-Ins

Nice rocky parking/camping spot. On the side of North Naramata Road so pretty quiet at night. You can venture further on the edge with a high clearance car to have a wonderfull view or stay a bit further and still be good. A bit windy for campfire and a little bit of glass on the ground so watch your tires. But overall pretty descent spot.

This is a free campground (open field) with a restaurant, bar, bathrooms, and $7 showers. Home Ranch Bottoms is under new ownership and wants everyone to know that dry camping is free.

Flat spot just off the road, just outside of Canmore. Further from the railroad than the spot east of here, closer to the highway, so expect some noise but the road is quiet at night. We spent two nights here without a problem. There is another larger parking area two km east of here.

This is a wonderfull place to stay!! Very friendly staff..Nice breakfast!That is possible to leave your motor while treeking around!!

Site right by a lake with gorgeous views. Accessible by a gravel road. There’s a track down past an abandoned and demolished house. Site is visible from the road and there is some road noise - especially construction trucks working on a water line. But the view makes up for it. Quiet at night. No one bothered us. Shepard and sheep came by in the afternoon.

Exiting TZ and entering Zambia

German Passport with CdP.

The busiest border we have seen in whole southern and eastern Afrika!

First go to customs on the TZ side of the border before the gate to stamp out your carnet. The first time we passed it without seeing it because of the many trucks in front of the building. But TZ immigration sent us back. Stamping out of Carnet was done in a few minutes.

Then you go to this one stop border post. First they want to see you yellow fever vaccinations. Then we went to TZ immigration to stamp out. Done in a few seconds. After that we went to Zambian immigration to buy a Visa for 50 USD (single entry).
After that we had to go to a back office to pay 200 kwacha carbon tax (depends on your engine and only payable in kwacha) and get our Carnet stamped. After that we had to go upstairs to pay 20 USD road tax (only payable in USD). Only this last part took us over 1 hour because there was just 1 man working and hundrets of “agents“ for the truck drivers.

All in all it took us 2,5 hours. Most time was running around and waiting time.

There is an ATM at the border for Zambian kwacha but it didn't work because of failing network.

If possible try to avoid this border.

Cabins for rent. No electricity or water. Fire pits, grills, comfortable accommodations.

Dumpstation and potable water available. Free

Still free. You must pay only if you go at the marina for a site full services. But the beach parking lot is still free. But many people in the evening with loud music and screaming. They seemed to be stone so we didn't stay and moved to the walmart

nice and clean family-run hotel, with double rooms with toilet and cold shower for 30000 pesos.
Safe parking is available 100m down the street for 4,000 pesos a night for a motorbike, will fit big rigs

Traveling by motorcycle.
Be cautious with the gasoline that the cholas sells in plastic soda bottles. Some of it is clean, some is not, she will try to sneak some bottles with gasoline full of dirt!
Forced me to clean my carburator and tank, poor combustion. Wicked woman. Be wary!
(photo is from internet, not the real chola.

FREE. No facilities, except toilet*.

Good emergency stop for two wheel travellers and hikers, no vehicular access.

Deserted timber building, concrete floor, mostly weatherproof roof. Unlocked fence gate close to bridge.

*To flush WC, use water from neighbouring stream.

July 2018. Serra da Rocinha road closed to ALL traffic during roadworks.

This place is accessible only for cyclist.
Next to the picnic area there is a bridge you will see the fencing is on the floor. It’s just simple wire metal no spokes. So you can safely cycle over. Depending where the wind blows you will be able to find shelter space if you walk in about 20/30 metres.
Depending the area of choice you might be slightly visible from the road however pretty far.
Dry mud floor is very easy to secure your stakes.
Road has little to no traffic after sunset.
There is MTC Edge coverage.

Small magazin with bottled fuel, does not look too bad :)

nice beach with an unused hotel complex..( closed since years).
white fluffy sand and good place to put a tent directly at the beach. small road is going straight down to the beach. quite rough but only 30m.

No ripoffs here, they even point at the 0 before they start.

Quiet spot near edge of river. May flood, stay back from edge. Walking and truck traffic but only curious stares. Bugs at night. Cooled off nicely at night. Could also continue on main road down to ocean. A few parking spots and a restaurant. (See signs)

There is a really easy and fast detour. When coming from the peruvian border, just take a right at the small church with a small square in front (dirt road). The turnoff is before the Gas Station in Copacabana. Just follow the easy dirt road for about 1km (up and down the small hill). No height restriction and easy road.
We make another point on iOverlander for entry and exit point.
LETS STOP BRIBERY TOGETHER :)

Super clean and tasteful hostel with a patio and kitchen and resting area. There is camera surveillance on the parking so it's safe to leave the car if you take a walk.

As others Walmarts. Quiet place Here. No machine cleaning the parking lot during the night.

Great place for seeting up a tent, good shade, green grass, artificial lightning during the night, water source, toilets. Quite popular among locals tho, so might be quite busy on weekends, and usually they stay until late(around 1pm), wich might be an issue if you are planning to go to bed early

Over 4000 year old Cyprus’s tree, 100 000 rial to get in

We stayed here in our van, didn’t pay anything as there was no one collecting rubbish... also no bins around which sucks. A really beautiful spot where you can see the ocean alive in front of you - flying sting rays, sea lions, huge turtles, pelicans and star fish on the shore line! Can be windy but mostly wasn’t when we were there. About 5-6 groups camping each day. Very peaceful I wish people would avoid playing music so others can enjoy the serenity! Also climb up the mountain with the cross on the top :)

Good restaurant with a big parking. They allowed us to park our motorhome for free in front of the restaurant, with security, water and bathroom. Closed at 7pm, but we could slept inside. And they invited us to a coffee. Very Nice!

When you want to add the oil on the bottom of your truck before you go to the salt flats you have to go to the one with the red gate.
We also went here afterwards and they cleaned our car really good.
Paid 50bol for the oil and 70 for cleaning afterwards

Good selection of locally produced cheeses and chocolat

As described free dump station in the rodeo grounds. Signed just as "RV dump station". Non potable water available as usual.

This place is open again, last year it burned to the ground but they are back in business. Great food, the big burro (120MP) was so good! Free wifi.
