The newest of
Etosha's camps, Halali is situated approximately halfway between the other two - 75 km from Namutoni and 70 km from Okaukuejo - northwest of the landmark Tweekoppies. Halai tends to be the quietest of the three camps.
Both entrance gates to the park, Andersson in the south and Von Lindequist in the east, are accessible from
Windhoek by fully-tarred roads.
Travelling from
Windhoek, Okaukuejo is reached by taking the Bl to Otjiwarongo where you turn onto the C38. Andersson Gate is 96 km beyond Outjo, with Okaukuejo Rest Camp a further 18 km on.
Namutoni Rest Camp is reached by turning off the Bl onto the C38, 74 km north-west of
Tsumeb. The Von Lindequist Gate is a further 24 km while Namutoni is 12 km into the park.
Both Okaukuejo and Halali rest camps provide accommodation ranging from camp sites to tents, bungalows and tourisettes. Communal ablutions and field kitchens are available for those who wish to camp or hire tents. At Namutoni rooms in the fort, mobile homes, tourisettes and camp sites are available.
Bedding and bath towels are supplied with all overnight accommodation (except camp sites) but no eating or cooking utensils are available. All bungalows and mobile homes are equipped with electric kettles, fridges and hot plates (except for the one-room bungalows at Halali).
Each of the three rest camps is serviced by its own filling station, shop, kiosk and restaurant. The swimming pools at all three rest camps are particularly popular during the hot summer months. Picnic sites and field kitchens are available to day visitors.
It is well worth visiting the interesting display on various aspects of
Etosha at the Information Centre at Okaukuejo. The Centre is staffed between 07h30 - 13h00 and 14h00 - 16h30 on weekdays only, but the display can be viewed outside these hours.
