  • You’ll find upper-class hotels along the coast line, but they’re very expensive.
    Something else is hard to find and when you find it, they’re mostly crappy.
    Inside the country you can chose between crappy and dirty.
    But there is always the possibility to ask somebody to stay overnight, if you pay a small fee.

  • This guesthouse has got large singles and doubles, with a communal kitchen. The compound is a bit rundown.

  • This is the cheapest place in the area and located near the Kachikaly Crocodile Pool.
    You can cook yourself or order your meals in advance.

  • The Plaza hotel is one of the cheapest sleeping facilities in Basse .
    It’s located near the main square, so it could be noisy sometime.

     This must have been quite the experience! It was interesting hearing about the Kroc pond--it's amazing they allow themselves to be "pet"...regards from Texas
