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.
