Halali Camp is in the central part of Etosha National Park, making it a convenient stop for travellers exploring both the eastern and western sides of the park. It is set at the base of a dolomite hill and surrounded by mopane trees, giving it a peaceful setting with a slightly raised position that adds to its sense of privacy.
One of the main highlights at Halali is its floodlit waterhole, located a short walk from the main area. This waterhole attracts many animals, including elephants, rhinos, hyenas, and sometimes leopards. It is especially active in the dry season when other water sources are limited.
Accommodation includes standard double rooms, family chalets, and bush chalets. Some units have private kitchens and outdoor braai areas for self-catering. All rooms are air-conditioned and have en-suite bathrooms, offering a mix of comfort and a natural bush feel. The camp also has a swimming pool, a small shop, a restaurant, and a fuel station, providing all the basic facilities guests need during their stay.
Halali is quieter than other well-known camps like Okaukuejo and Namutoni. Its central location makes it easy to reach some of the park’s most reliable waterholes, such as Goas, Rietfontein, Salvadora, and Sueda. Guests can join guided morning, afternoon, or night game drives booked directly at the camp, or explore on their own if self-driving.
Many visitors enjoy coming back from a game drive to relax on the viewing platform above the waterhole, where nocturnal animals can be seen under the soft light of the floodlamps. For those travelling with camping gear, Halali also has well-equipped camping facilities, making it a good choice for both lodge guests and campers.
With its central position, comfortable facilities, and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities at both its own waterhole and nearby ones, Halali Camp is a practical and enjoyable base for exploring Etosha National Park.
