Etosha National Park -
Halali Rest Camp
Central Etosha National Park – Northern Namibia Region
Etosha is one of Africa's finest National Parks. It is also one of the
largest game reserves in the world, a fact of which Namibia is very
proud. Namibia Wildlife Resorts operates three rest camps in Etosha:
Namutoni, Halali and Okaukuejo. All three of Etosha National Parks rest
camps have spot lit water holes for night game viewing.
Halali - The central rest camp in Etosha
Halali is situated approximately halfway between the other two - 75 km
from Namutoni and 70 km from Okaukuejo - northwest of the landmark Twee
koppies. Halali tends to be the quietest of the three camps.
This resort is surrounded by some of the most popular water holes in the
Park. The resorts name, of German origin, is derived from the bugle call
made to announce the end of a hunt.
Probably the best thing about Halali is the secluded and scenic
flood-lit water hole, situated a short walk from the camp.
ACCOMMODATION:
Halali Rest Camp provides accommodation ranging from camp sites to
tents, bungalows and chalets.
Communal ablutions and field kitchens are available for those who wish
to camp or hire tents.
All bungalows and mobile homes are equipped with electric kettles,
fridges and hot plates (except for the one-room bungalows at Halali).
