Latest Check-Ins

bridge is open since some days. so the ferry is retired.,😢

Report Check-In

The bridge was nearing completion when we were there but no workers/vehicles around. The ferry no longer exists.

Report Check-In

New bridge nearing completion and now partly open. No longer necessary to take a ferry.
Giant super highway now through the park (talking to lodge owners several animals have been killed as a result of large trucks speeding and not getting out of the way of the wildlife.) Apparently oil was found at the bottom of Lake Albert and a Chinese-built superhighway funded by oil giant Total has been created (hence the nice bridge and new road.) It's nice to have a new road and bridge to drive on, but the environmental cost seems to be too high.

Report Check-In

Ferry still out of order reason flood. Big bridge still under construction. BUT you can take a small bridge always open beside the main one. Today was passable with a 4x4. No sign on weight limit but big trucks are passing. Passage is free!
