Review:
Stala Adventures is a sea / river angling and
ornithologist camp that is made up of 5 huts.
It offers a place that quite a few of their
regular guest have referred to as a natural,
tropical haven of tranquility allowing you plenty
of space to refresh your mind, body and soul.
As soon as you arrive your senses are struck
by the vivid natural colours and unique scents
exuded by the areas vegetation and bird life.
In the mornings as you open your accommodation
room's door you are confronted by the river
& boats near your doorstep. After breakfast
you can spend the day enjoying a variety of
refreshing drinks (at set times) or relaxing
in the sun or around the restaurants many shaded
areas.
Lunch, which is great and not expensive, is
usually served around 2pm and consists of an
eclectic menu serving pizzas, African cuisine,
sandwiches, lobster, a light meal and of course
fish and chips.
Within the vicinity of the camp you can experience
some of the real Africa as you watch women gathering
cockles on the water's edge, pirogues plying
along the river and the large number of your
avian friends feeding and gathering.
As evening approaches you will notice the transition
between daylight and nighttime happens fast
as the darkness falls like a blanket over the
resort and you will begin to hear the crickets
commence their chirping. On a clear evening
you can observe hundreds of stars twinkling
like mini light bulbs.
Lots of tours in boats or trips over land are
available so whether you chose to relax or do
some holiday activity there should never be
a dull moment.
As an eco-friendly camp is has equipped the
complex with solar panels and a waste-water-disposal
system that is not discharged into the surrounding
mangroves. |
