Okaukuejo Rest Camp: The Best Rest Camp at Etosha

    This rest camp has the best facilities for the bungalows. They are equiped with kitchens, a grill, toilets and bathroom. The camping is not the best as there really is no grass. But this is the case for all of the rest camps here. The bungalows run from 30 US to 45 US. Camping runs for about 20 US for two people.

    Bring your own cooking equipment if you are camping.

    Power is available for an additional cost.

    Watch out for jackals as they will get into your packs and tents if you are not careful.

    The Okaukuejo water hole allows visitors to see the animals outside their vehicles from the protection of a fence. The viewing area is raised a bit and clear viewing of the animals is available. During the day herds of elephant come to the hole as well as the occasional black rhino. I had the experience of seeing an elephant and a black rhino get into a scuffle where the rhino eventually got pushed out of the water hole (no surprise). The water hole is flood lit and allows the visitor to see some of the predator nocturnal species such as lion, brown hyena, leopard, and cheetah if you’re lucky. The Okaukuejo is most active during the winter dry season.

    Located at the southern gate (Andersson Gate).
    The waterhole is highly frequented by all animals in the park - especially in the dry months.

    In the night the waterhole is lighted (see tip: nightlife).
    Here is the best possibility for you to see Rhinos, Lions and Elefants - at the same time.

    Beside the very simple Campground there are also Luxury Bungalows that are located close to the waterhole - but to catch one of these you will have to book ahead -way ahead.

    Oh: all camps close with sunset and you should be in before - or you will be fined.

    Many animals.

    Shakals on the campground - so take a light with you if you wander around at night...

    Elefant, Etosha
    by Myndo
    Halali is the Rest Camp in the middle of the Etosha Ntl Park.
    The name comes from the trumpet sound of an instrument played before it went to hunt.
    Nobody hunting here anymore (good!).

    The waterhole here lies a littel farther from where you can stay the night. A path brings you to an arena-like view ground.

    There are normally not so many animals here like at Okaukuejo, but a lot more Elefants - and they are very interesting animals too.

    More quiet Campground.
    Lighted waterhole.
    Lots of Elefants.

    Mungo at Namutoni
    by Myndo
    The historical fort Namutoni gave this Rest Camp its name.
    You can still visit the imposant white building.
    This Camp lies at the eastern Gate (von Lindquist Gate).

    The waterhole is not so frequented, but there are a lot of them in the environment, so you can go there in the late afternoon and early morning.

    Also there are striped Mungoes on the Campground. They come in hordes to inspect what you may have left for them in the garbage bins (hanging them up doesnt seem to help against these rascals). They are quite cute.

    The Halali camping site is located in the centre of the park, so if you plan to go from west to east or vice versa, that is the best option and this way no need to drive back the end of the day from where you started.

    Okaukuejo Camp is on the west side of the park, it is well organise, clean and have all the great facilities for camping, cooking etc. Of course a good store as well for your supply as well as gas station. You can also stay in a bungalow, chalet, rooms etc, but the tent for us was perfect.
    *The place has also great nightlife at the waterhole where we saw the rhinos.

    Spartanic accomodation ! but comfortable !
    The food is not that great - the local shop is expensive - but cooled water is always welcome - no matter the price !

    There is a waterhole you can visit day and night - so no time to loose
