Etosha National Park welcomes visitors with different budgets, and there are many options for those looking for mid-range accommodation. These choices give a good balance between comfort and cost, allowing travelers to enjoy convenience, style, and easy access to Namibia’s wildlife.
Inside the park, the Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) camps of Okaukuejo, Halali, and Namutoni have mid-level chalets and double rooms that are suitable for families, couples, and small groups. These units usually have air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and in many cases a small patio or seating area where guests can relax.
At Okaukuejo, one of the most popular options is the waterhole chalet. These rooms face the famous floodlit waterhole, where rhinos, elephants, lions, and other animals often come to drink, especially in the evening and at night. Halali and Namutoni camps also offer quiet, shaded accommodation, with the added benefit of on-site restaurants, swimming pools, and small shops for basic supplies.
One of the main advantages of staying inside the park is the ability to join early morning game drives or enjoy sunset views without having to travel far from your accommodation. This gives guests more time in the park during the most active hours for wildlife.
For travelers who prefer to stay just outside the park, there are several mid-range lodges that combine good service with beautiful surroundings. Etosha Village, located only 2 km from Andersson’s Gate, is a top choice. It offers spacious units with air conditioning, private patios, and an on-site restaurant serving buffet-style meals.
Near the eastern entrance at Von Lindequist Gate, Mokuti Etosha Lodge offers modern, well-furnished rooms along with facilities such as a spa, swimming pool, tennis court, and green gardens. This makes it a great choice for guests wanting extra comfort without paying luxury prices.
Another good option is Taleni Etosha’s Safari Lodge, which is set on a small hill with wide views over the bush. It provides chalet-style accommodation, a swimming pool, and guided game drive options for guests who want a complete safari experience.
Mid-range stays in and around Etosha give travelers a comfortable base while keeping them close to the park’s wildlife and attractions.
